2006-06-29	[ARM] Set bit 4 on section mappings correctly depending on CPU	Russell King
	On some CPUs, bit 4 of section mappings means "update the cache when written to". On others, this bit is required to be one, and others it's required to be zero. Finally, on ARMv6 and above, setting it turns on "no execute" and prevents speculative prefetches. With all these combinations, no one value fits all CPUs, so we have to pick a value depending on the CPU type, and the area we're mapping. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-04-02	[ARM] 3439/2: xsc3: add I/O coherency support	Lennert Buytenhek
	Patch from Lennert Buytenhek This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the xsc3. The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits. In addition, we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls. A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems. Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine() function as that still requires a special PTE setting. We also don't touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by definition only used on non-coherent system.

2006-03-21	[ARM] nommu: Move hardware page table definitions to pgtable-hwdef.h	Russell King
	Move the hardware PMD and PTE page table definitions from pgtable.h into pgtable-hwdef.h, and include pgtable-hwdef.h as necessary. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
