2011-04-15[PARISC] only make executable areas executableJames Bottomley
Currently parisc has the whole kernel marked as RWX, meaning any kernel page at all is eligible to be executed. This can cause a theoretical problem on systems with combined I/D TLB because the act of referencing a page causes a TLB insertion with an executable bit. This TLB entry may be used by the CPU as the basis for speculating the page into the I-Cache. If this speculated page is subsequently used for a user process, there is the possibility we will get a stale I-cache line picked up as the binary executes. As a point of good practise, only mark actual kernel text pages as executable. The same has to be done for init_text pages, but they're converted to data pages (and the I-Cache flushed) when the init memory is released. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>

2008-10-10parisc: hijack jump to start_kernelKyle McMartin
Bang in our own start_parisc call, which initializes the PDC width, and turns on the FPU. Previously, if CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME was on, we'd attempt to use the FPU before we had enabled it, resulting in a difficult to diagnose panic. This patch causes init_per_cpu to redundantly set these for cpu0, but this is harmless.

2008-05-15parisc: fix trivial section name warningsHelge Deller
This trivial patch fixes the following section warnings on PARISC: > WARNING: vmlinux.o (.text.1): unexpected section name. >The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected. > Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? > Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains > section definitions for use in .S files.

2006-04-21[PARISC] Further work for multiple page sizesHelge Deller
More work towards supporing multiple page sizes on 64-bit. Convert some assumptions that 64bit uses 3 level page tables into testing PT_NLEVELS. Also some BUG() to BUG_ON() conversions and some cleanups to assembler. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>

2005-10-21[PARISC] Make sure use of RFI conforms to PA 2.0 and 1.1 arch docsGrant Grundler
2.6.12-rc4-pa3 : first pass at making sure use of RFI conforms to PA 2.0 arch pages F-4 and F-5, PA 1.1 Arch page 3-19 and 3-20. The discussion revolves around all the rules for clearing PSW Q-bit. The hard part is meeting all the rules for "relied upon translation". .align directive is used to guarantee the critical sequence ends more than 8 instructions (32 bytes) from the end of page.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
