    pstore-ram: Allow optional mapping with pgprot_noncached · 027bc8b0
    Tony Lindgren 提交于
    On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
    be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
    <ccross@android.com>, in some cases you do want to use
    pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk
    just before a write hanging the system.
    
    On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are
    implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter
    for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by
    default.
