[request for stable inclusion]: Two patches related to arm memory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Greg, Luis and Ingo,

Please queue following patches for 3.10.x, 3.11.x and 3.12.x:

Commit 6d7d5da7d75c6df676c8b72d32b02ff024438f0c:
  ARM: 7864/1: Handle 64-bit memory in case of 32-bit phys_addr_t

Commit 571b14375019c3a66ef70d4d4a7083f4238aca30:
  ARM: ignore memory below PHYS_OFFSET

They combine fix a bug on arm platform: without them, ARM kernel fails to
boot if loaded at the middle of kernel aware memory. For example: if
the platform equips physical memory ranged 0x60000000 - 0x80000000, and
the kernel is loaded at 0x70000000, the whole bank will be refused to
get mapped.

This situation may happen in the case of kdump. Without providing "mem="
parameter to kdump kernel, the secondary kernel crashes.
