Subject: [PATCH 0/7] remove size limit on XIP kernel
Date: Fri, 10 May 2024 08:28:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1715286093.git.namcao@linutronix.de> (raw)

Hi,

For XIP kernel, the writable data section is always at offset specified in
XIP_OFFSET, which is hard-coded to 32MB.

Unfortunately, this means the read-only section (placed before the
writable section) is restricted in size. This causes build failure if the
kernel gets too large.

This series remove the use of XIP_OFFSET one by one, then remove this
macro entirely at the end, with the goal of lifting this size restriction.

Also some cleanup and documentation along the way.

This series depends on
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20240508191917.2892064-1-namcao@linutronix.de/
to apply cleanly, and also depends on
    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20240508173116.2866192-1-namcao@linutronix.de/
which fixes a boot issue.

Best regards,
Nam
