ia64: remove now unused machvec indirections

2019-08-16T18:33:57+00:00

With the SGI SN2 machvec removal most of the indirections are unused
now, so remove them.  This includes the entire removal of the mmio
read*/write* macros as the generic ones are identical to the
asm-generic/io.h version.

kexec: move vmcoreinfo out of the kernel's .bss section

2017-07-12T23:25:59+00:00

As Eric said,
 "what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the
  kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this
  information in something like the control page.

  Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally
  far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not
  watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in
  the kernel's .bss section."

This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one
advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because
vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.

kdump: arrange for paddr_vmcoreinfo_note() to return phys_addr_t

2016-08-02T23:35:27+00:00

On PAE systems (eg, ARM LPAE) the vmcore note may be located above 4GB
physical on 32-bit architectures, so we need a wider type than "unsigned
long" here.  Arrange for paddr_vmcoreinfo_note() to return a
phys_addr_t, thereby allowing it to be located above 4GB.

This makes no difference for kexec-tools, as they already assume a
64-bit type when reading from this file.

ia64: expose number of page table levels on Kconfig level

2015-04-14T23:49:02+00:00

We would want to use number of page table level to define mm_struct.
Let's expose it as CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS.

We need to define PGTABLE_LEVELS before sourcing init/Kconfig:
arch/Kconfig will define default value and it's sourced from init/Kconfig.
