arch: Move initrd= parsing into do_mounts_initrd.c

2018-11-26T21:50:45Z

ARC, ARM, ARM64 and Unicore32 are all capable of parsing the "initrd=" command line parameter to allow specifying the physical address and size of an initrd. Move that parsing into init/do_mounts_initrd.c such that we no longer duplicate that logic. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Reviewed-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Rob Herring

of/fdt: Populate phys_initrd_start/phys_initrd_size from FDT

2018-11-26T21:50:26Z

Now that we have central and global variables holding the physical address and size of the initrd, we can have early_init_dt_check_for_initrd() populate phys_initrd_start/phys_initrd_size for us. This allows us to remove a chunk of code from arch/arm/mm/init.c introduced with commit 65939301acdb ("arm: set initrd_start/initrd_end for fdt scan").

arch: Make phys_initrd_start and phys_initrd_size global variables

2018-11-26T21:50:02Z

Make phys_initrd_start and phys_initrd_size global variables declared in init/do_mounts_initrd.c such that we can later have generic code in drivers/of/fdt.c populate those variables for us. This requires both the ARM and unicore32 implementations to be properly guarded against CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD, and also initialize the variables to the expected default values (unicore32).

ARM: 8780/1: ftrace: Only set kernel memory back to read-only after boot

2018-07-11T21:57:57Z

Dynamic ftrace requires modifying the code segments that are usually set to read-only. To do this, a per arch function is called both before and after the ftrace modifications are performed. The "before" function will set kernel code text to read-write to allow for ftrace to make the modifications, and the "after" function will set the kernel code text back to "read-only" to keep the kernel code text protected. The issue happens when dynamic ftrace is tested at boot up. The test is done before the kernel code text has been set to read-only. But the "before" and "after" calls are still performed. The "after" call will change the kernel code text to read-only prematurely, and other boot code that expects this code to be read-write will fail. The solution is to add a variable that is set when the kernel code text is expected to be converted to read-only, and make the ftrace "before" and "after" calls do nothing if that variable is not yet set. This is similar to the x86 solution from commit 162396309745 ("ftrace, x86: make kernel text writable only for conversions").

ARM: simplify and fix linker script for TCM

2018-03-10T01:20:43Z

Let's put the TCM stuff in the __init section directly. No need for a separately freed memory area. Remove redundant linker sections, as well as comments that were more confusing than no comments at all. Finally make it XIP compatible by using LOAD_OFFSET in the section LMA specification.

ARM: 8722/1: mm: make STRICT_KERNEL_RWX effective for LPAE

2017-11-21T15:10:07Z

Currently, for ARM kernels with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE and CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, the 2MiB pages mapping the kernel code and rodata are writable. They are marked read-only in a software bit (L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY) but the hardware read-only bit is not set (PMD_SECT_AP2). For user mappings, the logic that propagates the software bit to the hardware bit is in set_pmd_at(); but for the kernel, section_update() writes the PMDs directly, skipping this logic. The fix is to set PMD_SECT_AP2 for read-only sections in section_update(), at the same time as L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY.
