From 374d5c9964c10373ba39bbe934f4262eb87d7114 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Santosh Shilimkar Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2013 14:20:35 -0400 Subject: of: Specify initrd location using 64-bit On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside outside the 32-bit limit. These systems need the ability to specify the initrd location using 64-bit numbers. This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long. There has been quite a bit of debate about whether to use u64 or phys_addr_t. It was concluded to stick to u64 to be consistent with rest of the device tree code. As summarized by Geert, "The address to load the initrd is decided by the bootloader/user and set at that point later in time. The dtb should not be tied to the kernel you are booting" More details on the discussion can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/20/690 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/13/544 Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar Acked-by: Rob Herring Acked-by: Vineet Gupta Acked-by: Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD Signed-off-by: Grant Likely --- arch/arm/mm/init.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/arm') diff --git a/arch/arm/mm/init.c b/arch/arm/mm/init.c index 15225d829d71..81484177c9b8 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mm/init.c +++ b/arch/arm/mm/init.c @@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ static int __init parse_tag_initrd2(const struct tag *tag) __tagtable(ATAG_INITRD2, parse_tag_initrd2); #ifdef CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE -void __init early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch(unsigned long start, unsigned long end) +void __init early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch(u64 start, u64 end) { phys_initrd_start = start; phys_initrd_size = end - start; -- cgit v1.2.3
