x86-32, mm: Add an initial page table for core bootstrapping

2010-10-20T21:23:55Z

This patch adds an initial page table with low mappings used exclusively for booting APs/resuming after ACPI suspend/machine restart. After this, there's no need to add low mappings to swapper_pg_dir and zap them later or create own swsusp PGD page solely for ACPI sleep needs - we have initial_page_table for that.

x86, memblock: Replace e820_/_early string with memblock_

2010-08-27T18:13:47Z

1.include linux/memblock.h directly. so later could reduce e820.h reference. 2 this patch is done by sed scripts mainly -v2: use MEMBLOCK_ERROR instead of -1ULL or -1UL Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

x86: Use memblock to replace early_res

2010-08-27T18:12:29Z

1. replace find_e820_area with memblock_find_in_range 2. replace reserve_early with memblock_x86_reserve_range 3. replace free_early with memblock_x86_free_range. 4. NO_BOOTMEM will switch to use memblock too. 5. use _e820, _early wrap in the patch, in following patch, will replace them all 6. because memblock_x86_free_range support partial free, we can remove some special care 7. Need to make sure that memblock_find_in_range() is called after memblock_x86_fill() so adjust some calling later in setup.c::setup_arch() -- corruption_check and mptable_update -v2: Move reserve_brk() early Before fill_memblock_area, to avoid overlap between brk and memblock_find_in_range() that could happen We have more then 128 RAM entry in E820 tables, and memblock_x86_fill() could use memblock_find_in_range() to find a new place for memblock.memory.region array. and We don't need to use extend_brk() after fill_memblock_area() So move reserve_brk() early before fill_memblock_area(). -v3: Move find_smp_config early To make sure memblock_find_in_range not find wrong place, if BIOS doesn't put mptable in right place. -v4: Treat RESERVED_KERN as RAM in memblock.memory. and they are already in memblock.reserved already.. use __NOT_KEEP_MEMBLOCK to make sure memblock related code could be freed later. -v5: Generic version __memblock_find_in_range() is going from high to low, and for 32bit active_region for 32bit does include high pages need to replace the limit with memblock.default_alloc_limit, aka get_max_mapped() -v6: Use current_limit instead -v7: check with MEMBLOCK_ERROR instead of -1ULL or -1L -v8: Set memblock_can_resize early to handle EFI with more RAM entries -v9: update after kmemleak changes in mainline Suggested-by: David S.

x86: Make sure free_init_pages() frees pages on page boundary

2010-03-29T16:55:33Z

When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or in a more compact fashion. Example: Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57 Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56 The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned. Last page could be shared with other users. When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page could be freed and we could corrupt other data. code segment in free_init_pages(): | for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) { | ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr)); | init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr)); | memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)), | POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE); | free_page(addr); | totalram_pages++; | } last half page could be used as one whole free page. So page align the boundaries. -v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page. we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could confuse decompressor. -v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes. -v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes. We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes. -v6: remove one WARN() We need to align beginning in free_init_pages() do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes Reported-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Tested-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Acked-by: Johannes Weiner Cc: David Miller Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Linus Torvalds LKML-Reference: <1269830604-26214-3-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86: Move bios page reserve early to head32/64.c

2010-02-12T17:42:38Z

So prepare to make one more clean of early_res.c. -v2: don't need to reserve first page in early_res because we already mark that in e820 as reserved already. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu LKML-Reference: <1265793639-15071-20-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

x86: Use find_e820() instead of hard coded trampoline address

2009-12-11T08:28:22Z

Jens found the following crash/regression: [ 0.000000] found SMP MP-table at [ffff8800000fdd80] fdd80 [ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 0-fff BIOS data page and [ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 6000-7fff TRAMPOLINE and bisected it to b24c2a9 ("x86: Move find_smp_config() earlier and avoid bootmem usage"). It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable, without reserving it. So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.

x86: Add Moorestown early detection

2009-08-31T09:09:40Z

Moorestown MID devices need to be detected early in the boot process to setup and do not call x86_default_early_setup as there is no EBDA region to reserve. [ Copied the minimal code from Jacobs latest MRST series ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Jacob Pan
