[PATCH 00/11] ARM: qemu-virt: remap cfi-flash from 0 to 0x1000

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

 



When MMU is enabled, barebox maintains a single address space with
1:1 physical to virtual mapping by default. Furthermore, the zero
page is marked inaccessible to trap NULL pointer dereferences.

This is problematic on the Qemu ARM Virt platform, because the
cfi-flash is memory mapped starting with address zero, so users need
to decide whether they want the cfi-flash or the MMU. The decision
so far, was to disable CONFIG_MMU in the Qemu Virt configs, but this
holds us back from removing these configs in favor of the new
multi_v7_defconfig/multi_v8_defconfig.

Make everyone happy by shifting the virtual cfi-flash mapping by 4K:

    virt   ->    phys

    0x0000 ->    0x0000 [faulting]
    0x1000 ->    0x0000 [(uncached) alias]
    0x2000 ->    0x1000
           .
           .
           .
 0x7fff000 -> 0x7ffe000
 0x8000000 -> 0x7fff000

This eats one page into the memory region starting at 0x8000000.
That's ok though, because that's where the GIC is located on both
ARM32 and ARM64 and we don't do interrupts in barebox.

This applies on top of Sascha's MMU rempping rework in next and
has been tested on both 32-bit and 64-bit QEMU ARM.

Ahmad Fatoum (11):
  treewide: use remap_range instead of arch_remap_range
  mmu: add physical address parameter to arch_remap_range
  ARM: mmu32: support non-1:1 mappings in arch_remap_range
  ARM: mmu64: support non-1:1 mappings in arch_remap_range
  of: platform: remap memory when encountering virtual-reg property
  common: boards: qemu-virt: remap cfi-flash from 0 to 0x1000
  ARM: prepare extending mmuinfo beyond ARMv7
  ARM64: mmu: implement ARMv8 mmuinfo command
  common: memtest: prepare for reuse in self test
  test: self: add MMU remapping self test
  ARM: mmuinfo: add options for enabling/disabling zero page trapping
