mainlining shenanigans
10fce53c0e
The early ATAGS/DT mapping code uses SECTION_SHIFT to mask low order
bits of R2, and decides that no ATAGS/DTB were provided if the resulting
value is 0x0.
This means that on systems where DRAM starts at 0x0 (such as Raspberry
Pi), no explicit mapping of the DT will be created if R2 points into the
first 1 MB section of memory. This was not a problem before, because the
decompressed kernel is loaded at the base of DRAM and mapped using
sections as well, and so as long as the DT is referenced via a virtual
address that uses the same translation (the linear map, in this case),
things work fine.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
