Subject[PATCH v7 00/16] ARM: Add support for the Large Physical Address Extensions
Date
Hi,

This is version 7 of the set of patches adding support for the Large
Physical Address Extensions on the ARM architecture (available with the
Cortex-A15 processor). LPAE comes with a new 3-level page table format
(compared to 2-level for the classic one), allowing up to 40-bit
physical address space.

This set of patches against Linux 3.1-rc1 is available on this branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-2.6-cm.git for-next

The full set of patches against Linux 3.0 (LPAE, support for an emulated
Versatile Express with Cortex-A15 tile and generic timers) is available
on this branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-2.6-cm.git arm-lpae


Changelog (from v6):

- Rebased against Linux 3.1-rc1.
- pteval_t, pmdval_t etc. typedefs reworked for consistency.
- __phys_to_virt/__virt_to_phys macros typecasting patch removed (an
explicit cast to unsigned long has been added to dma_to_virt).
- Generic dma_addr_t patch removed (already fixed upstream).

Known issues:

- RMK's nopud patch not in mainline yet (compiler warnings) but carried
over in the above branches.
- No decission on using the ISB during MMU enabling (no simple
alternative solution).
- The patch converting PGDIR_* to PMD_* may be further modified
depending on the merging of the DMA coherent patches and other changes
to prepare_page_tables() proposed by RMK.


Catalin Marinas (13):
ARM: LPAE: Cast the dma_addr_t argument to unsigned long in
dma_to_virt
ARM: LPAE: Use PMD_(SHIFT|SIZE|MASK) instead of PGDIR_*
ARM: LPAE: Factor out 2-level page table definitions into separate
files
ARM: LPAE: Add (pte|pmd)val_t type definitions as u32
ARM: LPAE: Use a mask for physical addresses in page table entries
ARM: LPAE: Introduce the 3-level page table format definitions
ARM: LPAE: Page table maintenance for the 3-level format
ARM: LPAE: MMU setup for the 3-level page table format
ARM: LPAE: Invalidate the TLB before freeing the PMD
ARM: LPAE: Add fault handling support
ARM: LPAE: Add context switching support
ARM: LPAE: Add identity mapping support for the 3-level page table
format

Will Deacon (3):
ARM: LPAE: add ISBs around MMU enabling code
ARM: LPAE: mark memory banks with start > ULONG_MAX as highmem
ARM: LPAE: add support for ATAG_MEM64
