Subject: [PATCH] powerpc 8xx: Loading kernels over 8Mbytes without CONFIG_PIN_TLB
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:04:06 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131127110406.6DC8E1A504F@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Today, the only way to load kernels whose size is greater than 8Mbytes is to
activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB. Otherwise, the physical memory initially mapped is
limited to 8Mbytes. This patch sets up 24 Mbytes of initial memory regardless
of whether CONFIG_PIN_TLB is active or not. It allows to load "big" kernels
(for instance when activating CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT) without having
to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB.
