ARM: 6748/1: ignore mdesc->boot_params if out of range
The initial MMU table created in head.S contains a 1 MB mapping at the start of memory to let the early kernel boot code access the boot params specified by mdesc->boot_params. When using CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT it is possible for the kernel to have a different idea of where the start of memory is at run time, making the compile-time determined mdesc->boot_params pointing to a memory area which is not mapped. Any access to the boot params in that case will fault and silently hang the kernel at that point. It is therefore a better idea to simply ignore mdesc->boot_params in that case and give the kernel a chance to print some diagnostic on the console later. If the bootloader provides a valid pointer in r2 to the kernel then this is used instead of mdesc->boot_params, and an explicit mapping is already created in the initial MMU table for it. It is therefore a good idea to use that facility when using a relocated kernel. Signed-off-by: NNicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
