2009-09-12ARM: Fix pfn_valid() for sparse memoryRussell King
On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However, they want to be able to mmap() the hole. This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is contained within the meminfo array.

2009-06-25[ARM] 5565/2: Use PAGE_SIZE and RO_DATA() in link scriptLinus Walleij
Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard- coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric constants.

2009-06-11asm-generic: rename page.h and uaccess.hArnd Bergmann
The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple (e.g. nommu) architectures.

2008-11-27[ARM] clearpage: provide our own clear_user_highpage()Russell King
For similar reasons as copy_user_page(), we want to avoid the additional kmap_atomic if it's unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-11-27[ARM] copypage: provide our own copy_user_highpage()Russell King
We used to override the copy_user_page() function. However, this is not only inefficient, it also causes additional complexity for highmem support, since we convert from a struct page to a kernel direct mapped address and back to a struct page again. Moreover, with highmem support, we end up pointlessly setting up kmap entries for pages which we're going to remap. So, push the kmapping down into the copypage implementation files where it's required. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-11-27[ARM] remove memzero()Russell King
As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug. Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero(). Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-10-01[ARM] Improve non-executable supportRussell King
Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas. Also, ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that is true, and for any executable-stack binary. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
