From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org (Ard Biesheuvel) Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2016 15:57:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] arm64: avoid early __va translations Message-ID: <1455289046-21321-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org This is a somewhat cleaner approach for dealing with the issue that the early FDT performs __va() translations before the linear mapping has been set up. Being able to defer the assignment of memstart_addr until after we have discovered all of memory is an important piece of functionality, not only for KASLR but also for mapping the linear region as efficiently as possible. Changes since v2: - replace __weak function in patches #1 and #2 with a preprocessor macro - add patch to address the circular header dependency when including asm/bug.h in asm/memory.h - turned the hack that adds the BUG_ON() into a proper patch Patch #1 refactors the early FDT code so that the actual assignment of initrd_start and initrd_end (which is where the __va() translations are performed) can be overridden in architecture specific code. Patch #2 performs the override, and only records the physical addresses as they are found in the /chosen node, or on the command line, and defers the __va() translation until after memstart_addr has been assigned. Patch #3 reshuffles some #includes and #defines so that asm/bug.h can be included (and used) in asm/memory.h Patch #4 implements a BUG_ON() check to ensure that no references to memstart_addr are made before it has been assigned.
