2018-11-05MIPS: Enable IOREMAP_PROT config option for MIPS cpusHassan Naveed1-1/+1
Allows the users of ptrace to access memory mapped by the ptraced process using the same cache coherency attributes as the original process. For example while using gdb with ioremap_prot() incorporated, both gdb and the process being traced will have same cache coherency attributes.

2018-06-07mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIALLaurent Dufour1-1/+1
Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture header files. Most of the time, it is defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per architecture static definition. This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. Here notes for some architecture where the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious: arm __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE. powerpc __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files: - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is included in all the other cases. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time. sparc: __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64 There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

2018-05-10Revert "Documentation/features/vm: Remove arch support status file for 'pte_special'"Jonathan Corbet1-0/+33
The removal of this file appears to have been premature; it's not a feature enabled by Kconfig, but it's a arch-level feature regardless. Put it back for now until some happy future time when we decide how we really want to document such features. This reverts commit 2bef69a385b4c1c01d8abae0aa035f0ffa051f07.

2018-03-26Documentation: arch-support: remove obsolete architecturesArnd Bergmann8-48/+0
A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped, so we no longer want to track the respective features. We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does the same edits for all the others.

2016-02-18arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappingsArd Biesheuvel1-1/+1
This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent patch.

Change metag Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support from .. to TODO. Meta2 has variable sized pages, between 4KB and 4MB, specified at the 1st level page table level, and already supports hugetlbfs, so supporting THP is theoretically possible too.
