VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE specifies which fraction of the available physical
memory, after deduction of the kernel itself and other early statically
allocated memory, can be used for the kmem_map. The kmem_map provides
for all UMA/malloc allocations in KVM space.
Previously ARM was using a fixed kmem_map size of (12*1024*1024) = 12MB
without regard to effectively available memory. This is too small for
recent ARM SoC with more than 128MB of RAM.
For reference a description of others related kmem_map parameters:
VM_KMEM_SIZE default start size of kmem_map if SCALE is
not defined
VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN hard floor on the kmem_map size
VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX hard ceiling on the kmem_map size
VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE fraction of the available real memory to
be used for the kmem_map, limited by the
MIN and MAX parameters.

In all the routines that loop through a range of virtual addresses, the loop
is controlled by subtracting the cache line size from the total length of the
request. After the subtract, a 'bpl' instruction was used, which branches if
the result of the subtraction is zero or greater, but we need to exit the
loop when the count hits zero. Thus, all the bpl instructions in those loops
have been changed to 'bhi' (branch if greater than zero).
In addition, the two routines that walk through the cache using set-and-index
were correct, but confusing. The loop control for those has been simplified,
just so that it's easier to see by examination that the code is correct.
Routines for other arm architectures and generations still have the bpl
instruction, but compensate for the off-by-one situation by decrementing
the count register by one before entering the loop.

This adds support for version 10, revision 01, but it should also work
without changes for the 0901 model, at least until we get drivers for the
two different wifi chips involved.
Many users contributed to and tested the various patchsets floating around
for the past year that have eventually evolved into this checkin, most notably
Richard Neese who provided the bulk of the kernel config file.

so that we don't need an empty implementation of it for every Marvell platform
that has no PCI. This allows the removal of the SheevaPlug-specific stub and
config files, and eliminates the need to add similar stubs for future models.
Marvell platforms that do expose PCI are compiled with 'device pci' which
causes the real (non-weak) implementation in dev/fdt/fdt_pci.c to be used.

formatting and pre-formatting, and use a format string which eliminates the
need for an extra temporary buffer when formatting the name.

interrupt counts and names, by making the names into an array of fixed-length
strings that can be directly indexed. This eliminates extra memory accesses
on every interrupt to increment the counts.
As a side effect, it also fixes a bug that would corrupt the names data
if a name was longer than MAXCOMLEN, which led to incorrect vmstat -i output.

ARM EABI syscall calling convention.
The current ABI encodes the syscall number in the instruction. This causes
issues with the thumb mode as it only has 8 bits to encode this value and
we have too many system calls and by using a register will simplify the
code to get the syscall number in the kernel.
With the ARM EABI we reuse the Linux calling convention by storing the
value in r7. Because of this we use both methods to encode the syscall
number in this function.

o add FBIOGTYPE ioctl handler - allow to get screen resolution by new

- Missing PTE_SYNC in pmap_kremove caused memory corruption
in userland applications
- Fix lack of cache flushes when using special PTEs for zeroing or
copying pages. If there are dirty lines for destination memory
and page later remapped as a non-cached region actual content
might be overwritten by these dirty lines when cache eviction
happens as a result of applying cache eviction policy or because
of wbinv_all call.
- icache sync for new mapping for userland applications.

l2_wbinv_range function implementation causes function
fail to flush caches for chip with RTL number 0x7. I failed
to find official PL310 revision with this RTL number
so further research on this matter required.
TX stalls in this driver, I've also had some
time to evaluate the effectiveness of different
watchdog strategies.
This is the latest attempt, which consolidates
all of the watchdog logic in one place and
consistently detects TX stalls and resets within
a couple of seconds.
(as used in AM335x SoC for BeagleBone).
Among other things:
* Watchdog reset doesn't hang the driver.
* Disconnecting cable doesn't hang the driver.
* ifconfig up/down doesn't hang the driver
* Out-of-memory no longer panics the driver.
Known issues:
* Doesn't have good support for fragmented packets
(calls m_defrag() on TX, assumes RX packets are never fragmented)
* Promisc and allmulti still unimplimented
* addmulti and delmulti still unimplemented
* TX queue still stalls (but watchdog now consistently recovers in ~5s)
* No sysctl monitoring
* Only supports port0
* No switch configuration support
* Not tested on anything but BeagleBone

- Add pl310.disable tunable to disable L2 cache altogether. In
order to make sure that it's 100% disabled we use cache event
counters for cache line eviction and read allocate events
and panic if any of these counters increased. This is purely
for debugging purpose
- Direct access DEBUG_CTRL and CTRL might be unavailable in
unsecure mode, so use platform-specific functions for
these registers
- Replace #if 1 with proper erratum numbers
- Add erratum 753970 workaround
- Remove wait function for atomic operations
- Protect cache operations with spin mutex in order to prevent race condition
- Disable instruction cache prefetch and make sure data cache
prefetch is enabled in OMAP4-specific intialization
Interrupts must be disabled while handling a partial cache line flush,
as otherwise the interrupt handling code may modify data in the non-DMA
part of the cache line while we have it stashed away in the temporary
stack buffer, then we end up restoring a stale value.
