  • Commit 81d11955bf0 ("ARM: 6405/1: Handle __flush_icache_all for
    CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP") added a new function to struct cpu_cache_fns:
    flush_icache_all(). It also implemented this for v6 and v7 but not
    for v5 and backwards. Without the function pointer in place, we
    will be calling wrong cache functions.

    For example with ep93xx we get following:

    Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ee070f38
    pgd = c0004000
    [ee070f38] *pgd=00000000

    [] (do_one_initcall+0xd0/0x1a4)

    __dma_alloc() calls (inlined) __dma_alloc_buffer() which ends up
    calling dmac_flush_range(). Now since the entries in the
    arm920_cache_fns are shifted by one, we jump into address 0xee070f38
    which is actually next instruction after the arm920_cache_fns
    structure.

    So implement flush_icache_all() for the rest of the supported CPUs
    using a generic 'invalidate I cache' instruction.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
