Subject: [PATCH v5 4/8] ARM: reset: allow kernelspace mappings to be flat mapped during reset
Date: Tue,  8 Nov 2011 15:52:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320767583-21162-5-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1320767583-21162-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com>

Currently, switch_mm_for_reboot only takes out a 1:1 mapping from 0x0
to TASK_SIZE during reboot. For situations where we actually want to
turn off the MMU (e.g. kexec, hibernate, CPU hotplug) we want to map
as much memory as possible using the identity mapping so that we
increase the chance of mapping our reset code.

This patch modifies setup_mm_for_reboot to change to the static identity
map page tables that are setup during booting, therefore remapping all
of memory apart from a small window containing the kernel image.
