Nam Cao <namcao@linutronix.de> says: Hi, For XIP kernel, the writable data section is always at offset specified in XIP_OFFSET, which is hard-coded to 32MB. Unfortunately, this means the read-only section (placed before the writable section) is restricted in size. This causes build failure if the kernel gets too large. This series remove the use of XIP_OFFSET one by one, then remove this macro entirely at the end, with the goal of lifting this size restriction. Also some cleanup and documentation along the way. * b4-shazam-merge riscv: remove limit on the size of read-only section for XIP kernel riscv: drop the use of XIP_OFFSET in create_kernel_page_table() riscv: drop the use of XIP_OFFSET in kernel_mapping_va_to_pa() riscv: drop the use of XIP_OFFSET in XIP_FIXUP_FLASH_OFFSET riscv: drop the use of XIP_OFFSET in XIP_FIXUP_OFFSET riscv: replace misleading va_kernel_pa_offset on XIP kernel riscv: don't export va_kernel_pa_offset in vmcoreinfo for XIP kernel riscv: cleanup XIP_FIXUP macro riscv: change XIP's kernel_map.size to be size of the entire kernel ...

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 reStructuredText 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.
