I guess you prefer to just add the !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM dependency to the Kconfig entry without removing the additional check in the code? -- Sebastian

I was referring to the above change. However, having discussed with Will Deacon and checked the manuals, I think the change is okay after all: the auxillary control register is banked on secure parts, and the bit we'll be trying to change will be read-only in non-secure mode - and importantly won't fault. So, the change is fine, thanks.

But that discussion was about removing the check alltogether iirc. This patch does not remove the !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM check. It just *moves* it from the sourcecode to the errata's Kconfig entry. The intention was to hide the Kconfig option on multiplatform kernels, since it's completely useless there after the N900 boardcode has been changed (PATCH 1/3). > > I guess you prefer to just add the !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM dependency to > > the Kconfig entry without removing the additional check in the code? > > I was referring to the above change. > > However, having discussed with Will Deacon and checked the manuals, I > think the change is okay after all: the auxillary control register is > banked on secure parts, and the bit we'll be trying to change will be > read-only in non-secure mode - and importantly won't fault. > > So, the change is fine, thanks. I think you missed the part adding the !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM dependency in Kconfig for ARM_ERRATA_430973. I only removed the check in the sourcecode, since it is no longer required with the dependency being in Kconfig. So I guess there are 3 options now: 1. Add !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM dependency to Kconfig, keep extra check in the sourcecode 2. Add !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM dependency to Kconfig, remove extra check in the sourcecode 3. Remove !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM dependency alltogether I will send an appropriate patch, if you tell me your preferred option. -- Sebastian

This isn't the only place ARM_ERRATA_430973 is used, and if you make it configurable on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM then it makes it impossible to use a ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM kernel on something that is an Cortex-A8. See arch/arm/mm/proc-v7-2level.S

The only additional places are in the Nokia N900 boardcode and the N900 pdata-quirk, which are removed in PATCH 1/3. So actually it is the only place. -- Sebastian

Having the !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM dependency in the Kconfig file results in one option less to think about when configuring the kernel. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Reichel <sre@kernel.org> --- arch/arm/Kconfig | 1 + arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
