ARM: 6635/2: Configure reference clock for Versatile Express timers · baaece22

Pawel Moll authored 14 years ago


Timers on Versatile Express mainboard are used as system clock/event
sources. Driver assumes that they are clocked with 1MHz signal.
Old V2M firmware apparently configured it by default, but on newer
boards one can observe that "sleep 1" command takes over 30 seconds
to finish, as the timers are fed with 32kHz instead...

This patch performs required magic and also removes code clearing
timer's control registers, as exactly the same operations are
performed by the timer driver few jiffies later.

ARM: versatile: name configuration options after actual board names · e5310f61

Russell King authored 14 years ago


Update the option text to those which appear on the front of the
appropriate board user guides.  This gives consistent board naming, and
makes it obvious which option is for which platform.

ARM: realview: name configuration options after actual board names · d2a1c9ad

Russell King authored 14 years ago


As no one seems to really know which configuration options tie up with
which boards, I thought I'd do some investigation and try to work it
out.  After discussion with some folk in linaro, I think I have this
nailed.

The names are updated to use the name on the front of the appropriate
board user guide for the various baseboards, which I've taken to be
the official name for each board.

I haven't significantly updated the descriptions for the tiles as that
is even less clear - as far as I can see on ARMs website, there is no
Cortex-A9 tile for Realview EB - only ARM11MPCore, ARM1156T2F-S,
ARM1176TZF-S and Cortex-R4F.  So exactly what this 'Multicore Cortex-A9
Tile' is...

ARM: realview,vexpress: fix section mismatch warning for pen_release · ec15038f

Russell King authored 14 years ago

Fix two section mismatch warnings in the platform SMP bringup code for
Realview and Versatile Express:

WARNING: arch/arm/mach-realview/built-in.o(.text+0x8ac): Section mismatch in reference from the function write_pen_release() to the variable .cpuinit.data:pen_release
The function write_pen_release() references
the variable __cpuinitdata pen_release.
This is often because write_pen_release lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of pen_release is wrong.

WARNING: arch/arm/mach-vexpress/built-in.o(.text+0x7b4): Section mismatch in reference from the function write_pen_release() to the variable .cpuinit.data:pen_release
The function write_pen_release() references
the variable __cpuinitdata pen_release.
This is often because write_pen_release lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of pen_release is wrong.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT · 6a108a14

David Rientjes authored 14 years ago


The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.
