[RFC PATCH v3] powerpc: Loading kernels over 8Mbytes without CONFIG_PIN_TLB

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Sun Dec 15 2013 - 10:10:25 EST


Hereunder is a try to implement the sizing of the initial memory size based on
initial-mapped-area size given by uboot in r7.
As this has an impact on all powerpc platforms due to the need to provide the
info up to function setup_initial_memory_limit(), I'm not completly sure of the
proper implementation.
Thanks to provide comments.

Today on the 8xx, the only way to load kernels whose size is greater than
8Mbytes is to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB. Otherwise, the physical memory initially
mapped is limited to 8Mbytes. This patch uses the size of initial memory mapped
by the bootloader and given to the kernel through register r7.
This is done regardless of whether CONFIG_PIN_TLB is active or not. It allows to
load "big" kernels (for instance when activating CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT) without
having to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB.
