* ARM: 6225/1: make TCM allocation static and common for all archsLinus Walleij2010-07-271-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the TCM handling so that a fixed area is reserved at 0xfffe0000-0xfffeffff for TCM. This areas is used by XScale but XScale does not have TCM so the mechanisms are mutually exclusive. This change is needed to make TCM detection more dynamic while still being able to compile code into it, and is a must for the unified ARM goals: the current TCM allocation at different places in memory for each machine would be a nightmare if you want to compile a single image for more than one machine with TCM so it has to be nailed down in one place.

* [ARM] fixmap supportNicolas Pitre2009-03-151-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the minimum fixmap interface expected to be implemented by architectures supporting highmem. We have a second level page table already allocated and covering 0xfff00000-0xffffffff because the exception vector page is located at 0xffff0000, and various cache tricks already use some entries above 0xffff0000. Therefore the PTEs covering 0xfff00000-0xfffeffff are free to be used. However the XScale cache flushing code already uses virtual addresses between 0xfffe0000 and 0xfffeffff. So this reserves the 0xfff00000-0xfffdffff range for fixmap stuff. The Documentation/arm/memory.txt information is updated accordingly, including the information about the actual top of DMA memory mapping region which didn't match the code.

* [ARM] Fix some corner cases in new mm initialisationRussell King2005-11-171-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Document that the VMALLOC_END address must be aligned to 2MB since it must align with a PGD boundary. Allocate the vectors page early so that the flush_cache_all() later will cause any dirty cache lines in the direct mapping will be safely written back. Move the flush_cache_all() to the second local_flush_cache_tlb() and remove the now redundant first local_flush_cache_tlb(). Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+72
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
