<content type='text'>
With the introduction of sharpslpart partition parser we can now read the
offsets from NAND: we specify the list of the parsers as platform data, with
cmdlinepart and ofpart parsers first allowing to override the part. table
written in NAND. This is done in the board files using this driver.

Thus, we need to extend sharpsl_nand_platform_data to consider the partition
parsers.

This commit removes hard-coded '8' used for looping into
struct nand_chip.id.data array.

NAND_MAX_ID_LEN has been introduced by Artem Bityutskiy in
53552d22bfe1f for defining ids length in nand_flash_ids[] list.

This commit unifies ids length in nand base driver.

<title>mtd: only use __xipram annotation when XIP_KERNEL is set</title>

<id>129f6c4820dd68be26b516ba6d6e471e63855d47</id>
<content type='text'>
When XIP_KERNEL is enabled, some functions are defined in the .data
ELF section because we require them to be in RAM whenever we communicate
with the flash chip. However this causes problems when FTRACE is
enabled and gcc emits calls to __gnu_mcount_nc in the function
prolog:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `cfi_chip_setup':
:(.data+0x272fc): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_CALL against symbol `__gnu_mcount_nc' defined in .text section in arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o
drivers/built-in.o: In function `cfi_probe_chip':
:(.data+0x27de8): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_CALL against symbol `__gnu_mcount_nc' defined in .text section in arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o
/tmp/ccY172rP.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccY172rP.s:70: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data
/tmp/ccY172rP.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors
make[5]: *** [drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_probe.o] Error 1
/tmp/ccK4rjeO.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccK4rjeO.s:421: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data
/tmp/ccK4rjeO.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors
make[5]: *** [drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_util.o] Error 1
/tmp/ccUvhCYR.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccUvhCYR.s:1895: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data
/tmp/ccUvhCYR.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors

Specifically, this does not work because the .data section is not
marked executable, which leads LD to not generate trampolines for
long calls.

This moves the __xipram functions into their own .xiptext section instead.
The section is still placed next to .data and located in RAM but is marked
executable, which avoids the build errors.

Also, we only need to place the XIP functions into a separate section
if both CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL and CONFIG_MTD_XIP are set: When only MTD_XIP
is used, the whole kernel is still in RAM and we do not need to worry
about pulling out the rug under it. When only XIP_KERNEL but not MTD_XIP
is set, the kernel is in some form of ROM, but we never write to it.

Note that MTD_XIP has been broken on ARM since around 2011 or 2012. I
have sent another patch[2] to fix compilation, which I plan to merge
through arm-soc unless there are objections. The obvious alternative
to that would be to completely rip out the MTD_XIP support from the
kernel, since obviously nobody has been using it in a long while.

We are planning to share more code between different NAND based
devices (SPI NAND, OneNAND and raw NANDs), but before doing that
we need to move the existing include/linux/mtd/nand.h file into
include/linux/mtd/rawnand.h so we can later create a nand.h header
containing all common structure and function prototypes.

Commit 7d70f334ad2b ("mtd: nand: add lock/unlock routines") introduced
support for the Micron LOCK/UNLOCK commands but no one ever used the
nand_lock/unlock() functions.

Remove support for these vendor-specific operations from the core. If
one ever wants to add them back they should be put in nand_micron.c and
mtd-&gt;_lock/_unlock should be directly assigned from there instead of
exporting the functions.
