[PATCH v6 2/3] arm64: vmlinux.ld: Add mmuoff data sections and move mmuoff text into idmap

James Morse james.morse at arm.com
Wed Aug 24 10:27:29 PDT 2016


Resume from hibernate needs to clean any text executed by the kernel with
the MMU off to the PoC. Collect these functions together into the
.idmap.text section as all this code is tightly coupled and also needs
the same cleaning after resume.

Data is more complicated, secondary_holding_pen_release is written with
the MMU on, clean and invalidated, then read with the MMU off. In contrast
__boot_cpu_mode is written with the MMU off, the corresponding cache line
is invalidated, so when we read it with the MMU on we don't get stale data.
These cache maintenance operations conflict with each other if the values
are within a Cache Writeback Granule (CWG) of each other.
Collect the data into two sections .mmuoff.data.read and .mmuoff.data.write,
the linker script ensures mmuoff.data.write section is aligned to the
architectural maximum CWG of 2KB.

Changes since v5:
 * Moved .mmuoff.text into .idmap.text,
 * Moved ALIGN() out of .mmuoff.data.read in case this section gets removed.
 * Removed stray "don't"
