| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ying Huang would like setup_data to be reserved, but not included in the no save range. Here we try to modify the e820 table to reserve that range early. also add that in early_res in case bootloader messes up with the ramdisk. other solution would be 1. add early_res_to_highmem... 2. early_res_to_e820... but they could reserve another type memory wrongly, if early_res has some resource reserved early, and not needed later, but it is not removed from early_res in time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch brings back limiting of the E820 map when a user-defined E820 map is specified. While the behaviour of i386 (32 bit) was to limit the E820 map (and /proc/iomem), the behaviour of x86-64 (64 bit) was not to limit. That patch limits the E820 map again for both x86 architectures.

* x86 boot: allow overlapping early reserve memory rangesPaul Jackson2008-07-081-9/+131
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for overlapping early memory reservations. In general, they still can't overlap, and will panic with "Overlapping early reservations" if they do overlap. But if a memory range is reserved with the new call: reserve_early_overlap_ok() rather than with the usual call: reserve_early() then subsequent early reservations are allowed to overlap. This new reserve_early_overlap_ok() call is only used in one place so far, which is the "BIOS reserved" reservation for the the EBDA region, which out of Paranoia reserves more than what the BIOS might have specified, and which thus might overlap with another legitimate early memory reservation (such as, perhaps, the EFI memmap.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | setup data Because of the size limits of struct boot_params (zero page), the maximum number of E820 memory map entries can be passed to kernel is 128. As pointed by Paul Jackson, there is some machine produced by SGI with so many nodes that the number of E820 memory map entries is more than 128. To enabling Linux kernel on these system, a new setup data type named SETUP_E820_EXT is defined to pass additional memory map entries to Linux kernel. This patch is based on x86/auto-latest branch of git-x86 tree and has been tested on x86_64 and i386 platform.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bigger memory maps The map size counter passed into, and back out of, sanitize_e820_map(), was an eight bit type (char or u8), as derived from its origins in legacy BIOS E820 structures. This patch changes that type to an 'int', to allow this sanitize routine to also be used on larger maps (larger than the 256 count that fits in a char). The legacy BIOS E820 interface of course does not change; that remains at 8 bits for this count, holding up to E820MAX == 128 entries. But the kernel internals can handle more when those additional memory map entries are passed from the BIOS via EFI interfaces.

* x86 boot: extend some internal memory map arrays to handle larger EFI inputPaul Jackson2008-05-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend internal boot time memory tables to allow for up to three entries per node, which may be larger than the 128 E820MAX entries handled by the legacy BIOS E820 interface. The EFI interface, if present, is capable of passing memory map entries for these larger node counts. This patch requires an earlier patch that rewrote code depending on these array sizes from using E820MAX explicitly to size loops, to instead using ARRAY_SIZE() of the applicable array. Another patch following this one will provide the code to pick up additional memory entries passed via the EFI interface from the BIOS and insert them in the following, now enlarged, arrays.
