[PATCH v4 2/3] arm64: vmlinux.ld: Add .mmuoff.{text, data} sections

From: Ard Biesheuvel <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-17 17:50:25

Hi James,

Resume from hibernate needs to clean any text executed by the kernel with
the MMU off to the PoC. Collect these functions together into a new
.mmuoff.text section. __boot_cpu_mode and secondary_holding_pen_release
are data that is read or written with the MMU off. Add these to a new
.mmuoff.data section.

This covers booting of secondary cores and the cpu_suspend() path used
by cpu-idle and suspend-to-ram.

The bulk of head.S is not included, as the primary boot code is only ever
executed once, the kernel never needs to ensure it is cleaned to a
particular point in the cache.

Changes since v3:
 * Pad mmuoff.data section to CWG.
 * Specified the .mmuoff.data section for secondary_holding_pen_release in C

How is this supposed to work? Is secondary_holding_pen_release
expected to be covered by this region as well?
Wouldn't it be better to handle this alignment in the linker script?

This padding needs to be at the end, it is intended to make the size
of Image a multiple of 512. Alternatively, you could get rid of it
completely, I guess, if the end of .mmuoff.text is expected to be 2 KB
aligned (but I wonder if you need to)

However, if the invalidation occurs before .bss is cleared (with the
caches on), perhaps there is no need to align the end of this section?
(and there is also no need to round up the part of it that lives in
head.S?)
