This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled arm64: dts: Reserve the memory used for secondary CPU release address to the 3.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm64-dts-reserve-the-memory-used-for-secondary-cpu-release-address.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From df503ba7f653c590b475ab80bde788edf5af70d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:15:37 +0000 Subject: arm64: dts: Reserve the memory used for secondary CPU release address From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> commit df503ba7f653c590b475ab80bde788edf5af70d5 upstream. With the spin-table SMP booting method, secondary CPUs poll a location passed in the DT. The foundation-v8.dts file doesn't have this memory reserved and there is a risk of Linux using it before secondary CPUs are started.
