From 5f0fbf9ecaf354fa4bbf266fffdea2ea3d14a0ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:05:53 -0400 Subject: [ARM] fixmap support This is the minimum fixmap interface expected to be implemented by architectures supporting highmem. We have a second level page table already allocated and covering 0xfff00000-0xffffffff because the exception vector page is located at 0xffff0000, and various cache tricks already use some entries above 0xffff0000. Therefore the PTEs covering 0xfff00000-0xfffeffff are free to be used. However the XScale cache flushing code already uses virtual addresses between 0xfffe0000 and 0xfffeffff. So this reserves the 0xfff00000-0xfffdffff range for fixmap stuff. The Documentation/arm/memory.txt information is updated accordingly, including the information about the actual top of DMA memory mapping region which didn't match the code.
