Currently, there are several issues with how MPU is setup: 1. We won't boot if MPU is missing 2. We won't boot if use XIP 3. Further extension of MPU setup requires asm skills The 1st point can be relaxed, so we can continue with boot CPU even if MPU is missed and fail boot for secondaries only. To address the 2nd point we could create region covering CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR - _end and that might work for the first stage of MPU enable, but due to MPU's alignment requirement we could cover too much, IOW we need more flexibility in how we're partitioning memory regions... and it'd be hardly possible to archive because of the 3rd point. This patch is trying to address 1st and 3rd issues and paves the path for 2nd and further improvements. The most visible change introduced with this patch is that we start using mpu_rgn_info array (as it was supposed?), so change in MPU setup done by boot CPU is recorded there and feed to secondaries. It allows us to keep minimal region setup for boot CPU and do the rest in C. Since we start programming MPU regions in C evaluation of MPU constrains (number of regions supported and minimal region order) can be done once, which in turn open possibility to free-up "probe" region early.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
