This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ARM: 7628/1: head.S: map one extra section for the ATAG/DTB to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 7f239be7567325f2d14fed77cd70c68e43d473bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 18:51:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7628/1: head.S: map one extra section for the ATAG/DTB area commit 6f16f4998f98e42e3f2dedf663cfb691ff0324af upstream. We currently use a temporary 1MB section aligned to a 1MB boundary for mapping the provided device tree until the final page table is created. However, if the device tree happens to cross that 1MB boundary, the end of it remains unmapped and the kernel crashes when it attempts to access it. Given no restriction on the location of that DTB, it could end up with only a few bytes mapped at the end of a section. Solve this issue by mapping two consecutive sections.
