We use armv7/GENERIC for the RPI2 images. The original RPI2 is actually a
32-bit BCM2836, but v1.2 was upgraded to the 64-bit BCM2837. The project
continues to provide the RPI2 image as armv7, as it's the lowest common
denominator of the two. Historically, we've just kind of implicitly
acknowledged this by including some bcm2837 bits on a SOC_BCM2836 kernel
config -- this worked until r354875 added code that actually cared.
Acknowledge formally that BCM2837 is valid in arm32.
This name is inconsistent with the other BCM* SOC on !arm64 for two reasons:
1. It's a pre-existing option on arm64, and
2. the naming convention on arm/ should've arguably changed to include BRCM
#1 seems to be a convincing enough argument to maintain the existing name
for it.

similar. The OLD XSCALE stuff hasn't been useful in a while. The
original committer (cognet@) was the only one that had boards for
it. He's blessed this removal. Newer XSCALE (GUMSTIX) is for hardware
that's quite old. After discussion on arm@, it was clear there was no

kernel VA mapping in the temporary page tables set up by locore-v6.S.
The number used to be hard-coded to 64MB, which is still the default if
the kernel option is not specified. However, 64MB is insufficient for
using a large mdroot filesystem. The hard-coded number can't be safely
increased because too large a number may run into memory-mapped IO space
on some SoCs that must not be mapped as ordinary memory.
Transition all boards that support arm cortex CPUs to armv7. This
leaves two armv6 kernels in the tree. RPI-B, which uses the BCM2835
which has a ARM1176 core, and VERSATILEPB, which is a qemu board setup
around the time RPI-B went in. Copy std.armv6 to std.armv7, even
though that duplicates a lot of stuff. More work needs to be done to
sort out the duplication.

By this, any SMP kernel can be compiled with SMP_ON_UP support.
- Enable runtime detection of CPU multiprocessor extensions only
if SMP_ON_UP option is used. In other cases (pure SMP or UP),
statically compile only required variant.
- Don't leak multiprocessor instructions to UP kernel.
- Correctly handle data cache write back to point of unification.
DCCMVAU is supported on all armv7 cpus.

and armv6 architecures. The primary enhancement over the old design is
support for hierarchical interrupt controllers (such as a gpio driver
which can receive interrupts from a root PIC and act as a PIC itself for
clients interested in handling a change of gpio pin state as an
interrupt). The new code also provides an infrastructure for mapping
interrupts described in metadata in the form of a "controller reference
plus interrupt number" tuple into the simple "0-n" flat numeric space
understood by rman and the bus resource mechanisms.
Use of the new code is enabled by setting the ARM_INTRNG option, and by
making a few simple changes to the platform's support code. In addition
each existing PIC driver needs changes to be ready for INTRNG; this commit
contains the changes for the arm/gic driver, which most armv6 SoCs use, but
it does not enable the new code yet on any platform.
This project has been many years in the making, starting as a GSoC project
by Jakub Klama (jceel@) in 2012. That didn't get committed right away and
the source base evolved out from under it to some degree. In 2014 I rebased
the diffs to then -current and did some enhancements in the area of mapping
interrupt numbers and storing associated fdt data, then the project went
cold again for a while. Eventually Svata Kraus took that work in progress
and did another big round of work on it, removing most of the remaining
rough edges. Finally I took that and made one more pass through it, mostly
disabling the "INTR_SOLO" feature for now, pending further design
discussions on how to most efficiently dispatch a pending interrupt through
more than one layer of PIC. The current code with the INTR_SOLO feature
disabled uses approximate 100 extra cpu cycles for each cascaded PIC the
interrupt has to be passed to, so what's left to do is about efficiency, not
correct operation.

Each plaform performs virtual memory split between kernel and user space
and assigns kernel certain amount of memory space. However, is is sometimes
reasonable to change the default values. Such situation may happen on
systems where the demand for kernel buffers is high, many devices occupying
memory etc. This of course comes with the cost of decreasing user space
memory range so shall be used with care. Most embedded systems will not
suffer from this limtation but rather take advantage of this potential
since default behavior is left unchanged.
