[PATCH v2 0/5] ARM: omap[34]: Thumb-2 compatibility fixes

From: Dave Martin <hidden>
Date: 2011-02-03 18:02:36
Also in: linux-omap

This set of patches, along with some other patches under
discussion on alkml, should enable omap3 and omap4 kernels to be
built with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL.

This patch set builds on recent cleanup done by the omap
maintainers.

It is also more aggressive than my last post: all affected
low-level code is now built in Thumb-2.  At least some of this
code definitely works, but whether the Secure firmware can talk
to Thumb-2 code properly is unproven:
in particular, I could use some help/advice from the omap
community for validating that the low-level power management
interactions actually work with this patch set.

I've done simple "does it boot?" testing by building a single
kernel with CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP and CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL enabled
which works on Beagle xM A2 and Panda A1.

Details below.

Cheers,
Dave


The patches can be found, along with a buildable working tree,
in the following repo:

git://git.linaro.org/people/dmart/linux-2.6-arm.git

 * arm/omap-thumb2: has the patches proposed here
 * arm/omap-thumb2+merged: additionally has some patches cherry-
        picked from other trees which are needed in order for the
        patches on arm/omap-thumb2 to work usefully.
 * dirty/arm/omap-thumb2+merged: buildable test tree, which adds
        2 local patches to work around a toolchain bug.

A working kernel config for this tree is here:
http://people.linaro.org/~dmart/arm_omap-thumb2+v2_config :

  CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP=y
  CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y
  CONFIG_SERIAL_OMAP=n (to avoid garbage on xM; for Panda use console=ttyS2)

(The config is derived from the linaro omap config and so turns on
loads of modules -- don't feel you have to build them all...)


Cherry-picked patches originated from Russell's devel tree
and Tony Lindgren's omap-testing tree:
