Ben,

Thanks for the hint. I'm sorry I don't know how pgprot_noncached() works.

I tried:

1) range.size, pgprot_noncached()

2) range.size, pgprot_val(pgprot_noncached(__pgprot(0))));

3) range.size, pgprot_val(pgprot_noncached_wc(__pgprot(0))));

Unfortunately without any success.

I'd like to modify the following code for the ATi SB600 southbridge chipset:

/* Workaround for lack of device tree */
                       if (primary) {
__ioremap_at(range.cpu_addr, (void *)ISA_IO_BASE,
                               range.size, _PAGE_NO_CACHE|_PAGE_GUARDED);
                               hose->io_base_virt = (void *)_IO_BASE;
printk("Initialised io_base_virt 0x%lx _IO_BASE 0x%llx\n", (unsigned long)hose->io_base_virt, (unsigned long long)_IO_BASE);
                    }

This workaround works with the kernel 4.6 final. After the commit powerpc-4.7-1, the computer doesn't boot anymore.

Last message in the CFE firmware:

Booting Linux via __start()...

Cheers,

Christian

Hi All,

You removed PAGE_GUARDED in the commit

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commi
t/?id=c04a5880299eab3da8c10547db96ea9cdffd44a6

We use

range.size, _PAGE_NO_CACHE|_PAGE_GUARDED);

This doesn't work anymore. What can we use instead?
You should just use pgprot_noncached()

Cheers,
Ben.
