2012-06-10microblaze: Do not select GENERIC_GPIO by defaultLars-Peter Clausen
commit 59516b07b4ffa7e607a5787674ea3c405f1b390c upstream. The microblaze architecture does not provide a native GPIO API implementation nor requires GPIOLIB, but still selects GENERIC_GPIO by default. As a result the following build error occurs, if GPIOLIB is not selected: include/asm-generic/gpio.h: In function 'gpio_get_value_cansleep': include/asm-generic/gpio.h:218: error: implicit declaration of function '__gpio_get_value' include/asm-generic/gpio.h: In function 'gpio_set_value_cansleep': include/asm-generic/gpio.h:224: error: implicit declaration of function '__gpio_set_value' This patch addresses the issue by not selecting GENERIC_GPIO by default. This causes the GPIO API to be stubbed out if no implementation is provided.

2011-11-28microblaze: switch to GENERIC_PCI_IOMAPMichael S. Tsirkin
microblaze copied pci_iomap from generic code, probably to avoid pulling the rest of iomap.c in. Since that's in a separate file now, we can reuse the common implementation. The only difference is handling of nocache flag, that turns out to be done correctly by the generic code since arch/microblaze/include/asm/io.h defines ioremap_nocache same as ioremap.

2010-12-29of/flattree: Add Kconfig for EARLY_FLATTREEStephen Neuendorffer
The device tree code is now in two pieces: some which can be used generically on any platform which selects CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE, and some early which is used at boot time on only a few architectures. This patch segregates the early code so that only those architectures which care about it need compile it. This also means that some of the requirements in the early code (such as a cmd_line variable) that most architectures (e.g. X86) don't provide can be ignored.

Remove ancient Kconfig option for consistent code. MMU uses cache inhibit pages. noMMU uses UNCACHE SHADOW feature where is used double ram size. For example: Physical ram is 256MB and cache are setup to cover the same size. But if you setup in HW that size is 512MB and cache covers 256MB than you can use adresses from 256-512MB without caches and correspond with 0-256MB with cache.

2009-12-14microblaze: ftrace: Add dynamic trace supportMichal Simek
With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an "empty" function, it returns directly without any more action. When enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us. Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter). In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of scripts/recordmcount.pl.

2009-12-14microblaze: ftrace: add static function tracerMichal Simek
If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to _mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount. This patch add the specific _mcount support for static function tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
