On armv4 these are defined as synonyms right now, but it's a bit ambiguous
what NOCACHE means (is buffering/write-combining also enabled or not?); this
is a first step towards replacing PTE_NOCACHE with a less ambiguous name.
and the functionality it provided into arm/exception.S. Rename the main
irq handling routine from arm_handler_execute() to arm_irq_handler() to
make it more congruent with how other exception handlers are named, and
also update its signature to reflect what has long been reality: it is
passed just a trapframe pointer, no interrupt number argument.
to the actual handler routine. All the pointers are static-intialized to
the only handlers available, and yet various platform-specific inits still
set those pointers (to the values they're already initialized to). Begin
to drain the swamp by removing all the redundant external declarations and
runtime setting of the pointers that's scattered around various places.
routine, now a platform can provide a pointer to an early_putc() routine
which is used instead of cn_putc(). Control can be handed off from early
printf support to standard console support by NULLing out the pointer
during standard console init.
This leverages all the existing error reporting that uses printf calls,
such as panic() which can now be usefully employed even in early
platform init code (useful at least to those who maintain that code and
build kernels with EARLY_PRINTF defined).

used by legacy SoCs and newer FDT-based systems. There are routines to
add one or more regions of physically contiguous ram, and exclude one or
more physically contiguous regions of ram. Ram can be excluded from crash
dumps, from being given over to the vm system for allocation management,
or both. After all the included and excluded regions have been added,
arm_physmem_init_kernel_globals() processes the regions into the global

communicate memory configuration to the rest of the kernel.

driver. This UART interrupts every character. When interrupts are
enabled at the mountroot> prompt, this means the ISR eats the
characters. Rather than try to create a cooperative buffering system
for the low level kernel console, instead just mask out the ISR. For
NS8250 and decsendents this isn't needed, since interrupts only happen
after 14 or more characters (depending on the fifo settings). Plumb

time.
