Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Handle non-pmd-aligned end of first memblock.
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 17:49:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458294567-19308-1-git-send-email-yun.hsiang@mediatek.com> (raw)
From: Yun Hsiang <yun.hsiang@mediatek.com>
In paging_init(), if the end address of first memblock
is non-PMD-aligned,we need to create a next-level page table
for mapping the non-PMD-sized area.
The memory of this next-level page table will be allocated
from address of memblock.limit with a top-down order.
sanity_check_meminfo() will find the address of
first non-pmd-aligned page in memblock.memory,
round down the address, and set it to memblock.current_limit.
There is a risk if arm_memblock_init()execute before
sanity_check_meminfo(). arm_memblock_init() parse the device tree
and modified memblock if there are no-map node in device tree.
It might produce a new non-PMD-aligned block. While creating mapping
to this new non-PMD-aligned block, the page table will be allocated
from the memblock.limit which is still unmapped.
