The Amlogic Meson GXBB secure monitor uses part of the memory space, this
patch adds these reserved zones and redefines the usable memory range for
each boards.

Hello Neil,

In
https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blob/odroidc2-3.14.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/meson64_odroidc2.dts
the secos region does not exist. In linux-next I find no reference to
the secos label. Where is the consumer of the region defined?

In
https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blob/odroidc2-3.14.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/gxbb_skt.dts
and other files pstore uses a different position
(reg = <0x0 0x20000000 0x0 0x100000>;).
Why are we moving this?
Should this region be marked
compatible = "ramoops"; ?
Cf. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/ramoops.txt.

It would be nice if you could add a short description of each reserved
area to the commit message.

Regards

Hi Heinrich,

Thanks for testing and for the report,
we are still struggling into finding what are these zones and how to label them correctly.

We need to identify the zones on all boards, the patch I provided works on a non-odroid-c2 and gxm and gxl boards.

Neil
Hi Neil,

the 3.14 Ubuntu kernel provided by Hardkernel for Odroid C2 has no fixed
address reserved-memory inside the first 2GB and does not show the
problem I have been observing with the linux-next kernel.

Many zones for interfacing different peripherals are defined but these
are all above 2GB.

For small loads I never saw any oops. So I recommend that on the boards
which you think are working, make a full linux-next git checkout and try
to build the kernel natively for the respective board.

Best regards

Heinrich Schuchardt
