We have no dedicated maintainer for PASEMI. Are maybe you or your
project interested in maintaining the pasemi-core, too? I guess not many
patches will show up and they will likely be for M1 anyhow.

Looks good to me. I will wait a few more days so that people can report

Use L1_CACHE_BYTES as the dma alignment size, use 'sizeof(long)'

This revert commit c4baad5029 ("virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack")
hvc framework will never pass stack memory to the put_chars() function,
So the calling of kmemdup() is unnecessary, we can remove it.

As well known, hvc backend can register its opertions to hvc backend.
the operations contain put_chars(), get_chars() and so on.
Some hvc backend may do dma in its operations. eg, put_chars() of
virtio-console. But in the code of hvc framework, it may pass DMA
incapable memory to put_chars() under

- Move the cxl_register_map refactor earlier in the series to make the

There are two obvious places to simply drop in the new core

From: Alexandre Ghiti
This config allows to compile 64b kernel as PIE and to relocate it at
any virtual address at runtime: this paves the way to KASLR.
Runtime relocation is possible since relocation metadata are embedded into
the kernel.
Note that relocating at runtime introduces an overhead e
From: Alexandre Ghiti
Relocating kernel at runtime is done very early in the boot process, so
it is not convenient to check for relocations there and react in case a
relocation was not expected.
There exists a script in scripts/ that extracts the relocations from
vmlinux that is then used at pos
After multiple attempts, this patchset is now based on the fact that the
64b kernel mapping was moved outside the linear mapping.
The first patch allows to build relocatable kernels but is not selected
by default. That patch should ease KASLR implementation a lot.

Powerpc architecture has a script that allows to check at compile time
for such unexpected relocation
