2011-10-31arm: convert core files from module.h to export.hPaul Gortmaker
Many of the core ARM kernel files are not modules, but just including module.h for exporting symbols. Now these files can use the lighter footprint export.h for this role. There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-* don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

2011-07-28irq: add irq_domain translation infrastructureGrant Likely
This patch adds irq_domain infrastructure for translating from hardware irq numbers to linux irqs. This is particularly important for architectures adding device tree support because the current implementation (excluding PowerPC and SPARC) cannot handle translation for more than a single interrupt controller. irq_domain supports device tree translation for any number of interrupt controllers. This patch converts x86, Microblaze, ARM and MIPS to use irq_domain for device tree irq translation. x86 is untested beyond compiling it, irq_domain is enabled for MIPS and Microblaze, but the old behaviour is preserved until the core code is modified to actually register an irq_domain yet. On ARM it works and is required for much of the new ARM device tree board support. PowerPC has /not/ been converted to use this new infrastructure. It is still missing some features before it can replace the virq infrastructure already in powerpc (see documentation on irq_domain_map/unmap for details). Followup patches will add the missing pieces and migrate PowerPC to use irq_domain. SPARC has its own method of managing interrupts from the device tree and is unaffected by this change.

2011-06-09ARM: 6953/1: DT: don't try to access physical address zeroNicolas Pitre
If the DT physical address is zero, this is equivalent to no DT. Especially when the actual RAM physical address is not located at zero, the result of phys_to_virt() would point to la-la-land and crash the kernel, which crash is completely silent this early during boot.

2011-05-23arm/dt: probe for platforms via the device treeGrant Likely
If a dtb is passed to the kernel then the kernel needs to iterate through compiled-in mdescs looking for one that matches and move the dtb data to a safe location before it gets accidentally overwritten by the kernel. This patch creates a new function, setup_machine_fdt() which is analogous to the setup_machine_atags() created in the previous patch. It does all the early setup needed to use a device tree machine description. v5: - Print warning with neither dtb nor atags are passed to the kernel - Fix bug in setting of __machine_arch_type to the selected machine, not just the last machine in the list. Reported-by: Tixy <tixy@yxit.co.uk> - Copy command line directly into boot_command_line instead of cmd_line v4: - Dump some output when a matching machine_desc cannot be found v3: - Added processing of reserved list. - Backed out the v2 change that copied instead of reserved the dtb. dtb is reserved again and the real problem was fixed by using alloc_bootmem_align() for early allocation of RAM for unflattening the tree. - Moved cmd_line and initrd changes to earlier patch to make series bisectable. v2: Changed to save the dtb by copying into an allocated buffer. - Since the dtb will very likely be passed in the first 16k of ram where the interrupt vectors live, memblock_reserve() is insufficient to protect the dtb data.

2011-05-11arm/dt: Allow CONFIG_OF on ARMGrant Likely
Add some basic empty infrastructure for DT support on ARM. v5: - Fix off-by-one error in size calculation of initrd - Stop mucking with cmd_line, and load command line from dt into boot_command_line instead which matches the behaviour of ATAGS booting v3: - moved cmd_line export and initrd setup to this patch to make the series bisectable. - switched to alloc_bootmem_align() for allocation when unflattening the device tree. memblock_alloc() was not the right interface.
