Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] change ARM linux memory layout to support 32 CPUs
Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 16:00:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397203252-22977-1-git-send-email-sdu.liu@huawei.com> (raw)

Hi Nicolas or Russell,

This patch series change fixmap mapping region to suppport 32 CPUs.
Because the "top_pmd" covers 0xfffe0000 - 0xffffffff(2M). And part 
is used by vector table. So I move this region down to 0xffc00000
 - 0xffdffff. 


I have tested the patches on arma9(2 CPUs) and arma15(16 CPUs) platforms

BTW, As we know we can configure NR_CPUS up to 32. So we need 2048K 
at most. But for ARM systems with less cpus, there is a waste 
of virtual address. So should we change its size according to
NR_CPUS, as what MIPS linux does ?

Changes from v1:
---------------
- changed documentation for ARM linux memory layout.
- moved fixmap mapping region, not just extended.

  ARM : DMA : remove useless information about DMA
  ARM : extend fixmap mapping region to support 32 CPUs
