Current "memmap=" only can take one entry every time. when we have more entries, we have to use memmap= for each of them. For pxe booting, we have command line length limitation, those extra "memmap=" would waste too much space. This patch make memmap= could take several entries one time, and those entries will be split with ',' Signed-off-by:

Now NO_BOOTMEM version free_all_bootmem_node() does not really do free_bootmem at all, and it only call register_page_bootmem_info_node for online nodes instead. That is confusing. We can kill that free_all_bootmem_node(), after we kill two callings in x86 and sparc. Signed-off-by:

That is confusing, try to kill that free_all_bootmem_node(). Before that, this patch will remove calling of free_all_bootmem_node() We add register_page_bootmem_info() to call register_page_bootmem_info_node directly. Also could use free_all_bootmem() for numa case, and it is just the same as free_low_memory_core_early(). Signed-off-by:

after_bootmem has different meaning in 32bit and 64bit. 32bit: after bootmem is ready 64bit: after bootmem is distroyed Let's merget them make 32bit the same as 64bit. for 32bit, it is mixing alloc_bootmem_pages, and alloc_low_page under after_bootmem is set or not set. alloc_bootmem is just wrapper for memblock for x86. Now we have alloc_low_page() with memblock too. We can drop bootmem path now, and only alloc_low_page only. At the same time, we make alloc_low_page could handle real after_bootmem for 32bit, because alloc_bootmem_pages could fallback to use slab too. At last move after_bootmem set position for 32bit the same as 64bit. Signed-off-by: -

During test patch that adjust page_size_mask to map small range ram with big page size, found page table is setup wrongly for 32bit. And native_pagetable_init wrong clear pte for pmd with large page support. 1. add more comments about why we are expecting pte. 2. add BUG checking, so next time we could find problem earlier when we mess up page table setup again. 3. max_low_pfn is not included boundary for low memory mapping. We should check from max_low_pfn instead of +1. 4. add print out when some pte really get cleared, or we should use WARN() to find out why above max_low_pfn get mapped? so we could fix it.

On 32bit, before patcheset that only set page table for ram, we only call that one time. Now, we are calling that during every init_memory_mapping if we have holes under max_low_pfn. We should only call it one time after all ranges under max_low_page get mapped just like we did before. Also that could avoid the risk to run out of pgt_buf in BRK. Need to update page_table_range_init() to count the pages for kmap page table at first, and use new added alloc_low_pages() to get pages in sequence. That will conform to the requirement that pages need to be in low to high order. Signed-off-by:

32bit kmap mapping needs pages to be used for low to high. At this point those pages are still from pgt_buf_* from BRK, so it is ok now. But we want to move early_ioremap_page_table_range_init() out of init_memory_mapping() and only call it one time later, that will make page_table_range_init/page_table_kmap_check/alloc_low_page to use memblock to get page. memblock allocation for pages are from high to low. So will get panic from page_table_kmap_check() that has BUG_ON to do ordering checking. This patch add alloc_low_pages to make it possible to allocate serveral pages at first, and hand out pages one by one from low to high. Signed-off-by:

Now all page table buf are pre-mapped, and could use virtual address directly. So don't need to remember physical address anymore. Remove that phys pointer in alloc_low_page(), and that will allow us to merge alloc_low_page between 64bit and 32bit. Signed-off-by:

We try to put page table high to make room for kdump, and at that time those ranges are not mapped yet, and have to use ioremap to access it. Now after patch that pre-map page table top down. x86, mm: setup page table in top-down We do not need that workaround anymore. Just use __va to return directly mapping address. Signed-off-by:

Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first. Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until all pages get mapped. alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage. Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges, that will be updated when lower pages get mapped. Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have more mapped pages on hand. We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done in alloc_low_page() directly. At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code. -v2: update to after fix_xen change, also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it. -v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end. -v4: don't need fix_xen change now. -v5: add changelog about moving about reserving pagetable to alloc_low_page.

After we add code use buffer in BRK to pre-map buf for page table in following patch: x86, mm: setup page table in top-down it should be safe to remove early_memmap for page table accessing. Instead we get panic with that. It turns out that we clear the initial page table wrongly for next range that is separated by holes. And it only happens when we are trying to map ram range one by one. We need to check if the range is ram before clearing page table. We change the loop structure to remove the extra little loop and use one loop only, and in that loop will caculate next at first, and check if [addr,next) is covered by E820_RAM. -v2: E820_RESERVED_KERN is treated as E820_RAM. EFI one change some E820_RAM to that, so next kernel by kexec will know that range is used already. Signed-off-by: -

We could map small range in the middle of big range at first, so should use big page size at first to avoid using small page size to break down page table. Only can set big page bit when that range has ram area around it. -v2: fix 32bit boundary checking. We can not count ram above max_low_pfn for 32 bit. Signed-off-by:

We are going to use buffer in BRK to map small range just under memory top, and use those new mapped ram to map ram range under it. The ram range that will be mapped at first could be only page aligned, but ranges around it are ram too, we could use bigger page to map it to avoid small page size. We will adjust page_size_mask in following patch: x86, mm: Use big page size for small memory range to use big page size for small ram range. Before that patch, this patch will make sure start address to be aligned down according to bigger page size, otherwise entry in page page will not have correct value. Signed-off-by:

Currently direct mappings are created for [ 0 to max_low_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ) and [ 4GB to max_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ), which may include regions that are not backed by actual DRAM. This is fine for holes under 4GB which are covered by fixed and variable range MTRRs to be UC. However, we run into trouble on higher memory addresses which cannot be covered by MTRRs. Our system with 1TB of RAM has an e820 that looks like this: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000000983ff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000098400-0x000000000009ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000000d0000-0x00000000000fffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000c7ebffff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ec0000-0x00000000c7ed7fff] ACPI data BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ed8000-0x00000000c7ed9fff] ACPI NVS BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7eda000-0x00000000c7ffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x00000000fec0ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fee00000-0x00000000fee00fff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000e037ffffff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000e038000000-0x000000fcffffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000010000000000-0x0000011ffeffffff] usable and so direct mappings are created for huge memory hole between 0x000000e038000000 to 0x0000010000000000. Even though the kernel never generates memory accesses in that region, since the page tables mark them incorrectly as being WB, our (AMD) processor ends up causing a MCE while doing some memory bookkeeping/optimizations around that area. This patch iterates through e820 and only direct maps ranges that are marked as E820_RAM, and keeps track of those pfn ranges. Depending on the alignment of E820 ranges, this may possibly result in using smaller size (i.e. 4K instead of 2M or 1G) page tables. -v2: move changes from setup.c to mm/init.c, also use for_each_mem_pfn_range instead. - Yinghai Lu -v3: add calculate_all_table_space_size() to get correct needed page table size. - Yinghai Lu -v4: fix add_pfn_range_mapped() to get correct max_low_pfn_mapped when mem map does have hole under 4g that is found by Konard on xen domU with 8g ram. - Yinghai Signed-off-by:Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1353123563-3103-16-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

We are going to map ram only, so under max_low_pfn_mapped, between 4g and max_pfn_mapped does not mean mapped at all. Use pfn_range_is_mapped() to find out if range is mapped for initrd. That could happen bootloader put initrd in range but user could use memmap to carve some of range out. Also during copying need to use early_memmap to map original initrd for accessing.

memblock_x86_fill() could double memory array. If we set memblock.current_limit to 512M, so memory array could be around 512M. So kdump will not get big range (like 512M) under 1024M. Try to put it down under 1M, it would use about 4k or so, and that is limited. Signed-off-by:
