docs: move ia64 architecture docs under Documentation/arch/

2023-04-10T22:45:52Z

Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy. Move Documentation/ia64 into arch/ and fix all in-tree references. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

efi: Drop minimum EFI version check at boot

2023-02-03T17:01:07Z

We currently pass a minimum major version to the generic EFI helper that checks the system table magic and version, and refuse to boot if the value is lower. The motivation for this check is unknown, and even the code that uses major version 2 as the minimum (ARM, arm64 and RISC-V) should make it past this check without problems, and boot to a point where we have access to a console or some other means to inform the user that the firmware's major revision number made us unhappy. (Revision 2.0 of the UEFI specification was released in January 2006, whereas ARM, arm64 and RISC-V support where added in 2009, 2013 and 2017, respectively, so checking for major version 2 or higher is completely arbitrary) So just drop the check.

ia64: remove unneeded header includes from

2021-02-11T20:11:19Z

includes too many unneeded headers. This commit cuts off a lot of header includes. What we need to include are: - for DECLARE_PER_CPU(u64, ia64_mca_pal_base) - for NR_CPUS - for u8, u64, size_t, etc. - for KERNEL_STACK_SIZE The other header includes are actually unneeded. previously included 436 headers, and now it includes only 138. I confirmed is still self-contained. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Randy Dunlap Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included

2020-06-09T16:39:13Z

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2. The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported architectures. Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils down to, e.g. static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address) { return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1); } static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address) { return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address); } These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined. For architectures that really need a custom version there is always possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic. These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table accessors to the new header. This patch (of 12): The linux/mm.h header includes to allow inlining of the functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include in the files that include . The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop: for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do sed -i -e '/include / d' $f done Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Cain Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Chris Zankel Cc: "David S.

efi: Clean up config table description arrays

2020-04-24T12:52:16Z

Increase legibility by adding whitespace to the efi_config_table_type_t arrays that describe which EFI config tables we look for when going over the firmware provided list. While at it, replace the 'name' char pointer with a char array, which is more space efficient on relocatable 64-bit kernels, as it avoids a 8 byte pointer and the associated relocation data (24 bytes when using RELA format) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

efi: Clean up config_parse_tables()

2020-02-23T20:59:42Z

config_parse_tables() is a jumble of pointer arithmetic, due to the fact that on x86, we may be dealing with firmware whose native word size differs from the kernel's. This is not a concern on other architectures, and doesn't quite justify the state of the code, so let's clean it up by adding a non-x86 code path, constifying statically allocated tables and replacing preprocessor conditionals with IS_ENABLED() checks.

efi/ia64: Switch to efi_config_parse_tables()

2020-02-23T20:59:42Z

IA64 calls efi_config_parse_tables() via efi_config_init(), which does an explicit memremap() of the tables, which is unnecessary on IA64. So let's call efi_config_parse_tables() directly, passing the __va() of the config table array. Tested-by: Tony Luck # arch/ia64 Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel
