Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] arm64: update/clarify/relax Image and FDT placement rules
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 17:00:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1426089620-9459-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
This series came about after Mark Rutland brought up the fact that the current
FDT placement logic used by the EFI stub is flawed. But actually, it turned out
that the documentation for both the Image and FDT placement was incorrect as
well, or confusing at the very least.
So this series does two things:
- It relaxes the FDT placement requirements, and updates the documentation and
EFI stub FDT placement logic accordingly.
- It clarifies the Image placement requirements in the documentation, and brings
the EFI stub Image placement logic in line with it
Changes since v1:
- patch #1: split off reservation of the FDT binary itself from the memreserve
processing, since the former assumes the FDT is accessed via the linear
mapping, which we are about to change
- patch #2: mention the older, stricter FDT placement rules in booting.txt,
get rid of early_print,
use correct format specifier for phys_addr_t,
use R/O mapping for FDT,
- patches #3 .. #5: add R-b, minor style and grammar tweaks
Ard Biesheuvel (5):
of/fdt: split off FDT self reservation from memreserve processing
arm64: use fixmap region for permanent FDT mapping
arm64: Documentation: clarify Image placement in physical RAM
arm64/efi: ensure that Image does not cross a 512 MB boundary
arm64/efi: adapt to relaxed FDT placement requirements
