MIPS: Fix early CM probing

2016-02-09T16:18:31Z

Commit c014d164f21d ("MIPS: Add platform callback before initializing the L2 cache") added a platform_early_l2_init function in order to allow platforms to probe for the CM before L2 initialisation is performed, so that CM GCRs are available to mips_sc_probe. That commit actually fails to do anything useful, since it checks mips_cm_revision to determine whether it should call mips_cm_probe but the result of mips_cm_revision will always be 0 until mips_cm_probe has been called. Thus the "early" mips_cm_probe call never occurs. Fix this & drop the useless weak platform_early_l2_init function by simply calling mips_cm_probe from setup_arch. For platforms that don't select CONFIG_MIPS_CM this will be a no-op, and for those that do it removes the requirement for them to call mips_cm_probe manually (although doing so isn't harmful for now).

MIPS: vmlinux: create a section for appended DTB

2015-11-12T10:35:48Z

For bootloaders that support booting only ELF kernels and load only ELF segments to memory there is no easy way to supply DTB without kernel recompilation. For that purpose, create a section called .appended_dtb that can be later updated with board-specific DTB using binutils e.g. at kernel installation time.

MIPS: Make the kernel arguments from dtb available

2015-11-11T07:38:34Z

Similar to how arm allows using selecting between bootloader arguments, dtb arguments and both, allow to select them on mips. But since we have less control over the place of the dtb do not modify it but instead use the boot_command_line for merging them. The default is "use bootloader arguments" to keep the current behaviour as default.

MIPS: Declare mips_debugfs_dir in a header

2015-10-26T08:49:42Z

We have many extern declarations of mips_debugfs_dir through arch/mips/ in various C files. Unify them by declaring mips_debugfs_dir in a header, including it in each affected C file & removing the duplicate declarations.

MIPS: bootmem: Fix mapstart calculation for contiguous maps

Commit a6335fa1 fixed the case with gap between initrd and next usable PFN zone, but broken the case when initrd is combined with usable memory into one region (in add_memory_region()).

MIPS: bootmem: Don't use memory holes for page bitmap

2015-07-09T09:02:59Z

Commit f9a7febd leads to a fact that mapstart and therefore a page bitmap for bootmem allocator immediately follows initrd_end. This doesn't always work well on Octeon, where there are holes in PFN ranges (refer to 5b3b1688 and 4MB-aligned PFN allocation). Depending on the inird location it could happen, that mapstart would be in an area not allocated by plat_mem_setup() in arch/mips/cavium-octeon/setup.c, but in the alignment hole between initrd and the next PFN area. Later on this memory will be unconditionally made available to buddy allocator at the end of free_all_bootmem_core() (mm/bootmem.c). All of this results in Linux using the memory not designated for Linux in Octeon's plat_mem_setup(), which in turn means corruption of the memory used by another OS/baremetal code on the same SoC. It doesn't look to me as a problem of Octeon platform code, but rather as an inability of f9a7febd to deal correctly with the fragmented memory-mappings. Proposed fix moves the check for initrd address to the same calculation-loop in bootmem_init() (arch/mips/kernel/setup.c), which also accounts for kernel code location. This should result in mapstart located starting from the first PFN area after kernel code AND initrd.
