* [PATCH] fixup bogus e820 entry with mem=Dave Hansen2005-10-301-7/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was reported because someone was getting oopses reading /proc/iomem. It was tracked down to a zero-sized 'struct resource' entry which was located right at 4GB. You need two conditions to hit this bug: a BIOS E820_RAM area starting at exactly the boundary where you specify mem= (to get a zero-sized entry), and for the legacy_init_iomem_resources() loop to skip that resource (which only happens at exactly 4G). I think the killing zero-sized e820 entry is the easiest way to fix this.

* [PATCH] Update PCI IOMEM allocation startDaniel Ritz2005-09-091-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the problem with "Averatec 6240 pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power", which was due to the CardBus IOMEM register region being allocated at an address that was actually inside the RAM window that had been reserved for video frame-buffers in an UMA setup. The BIOS _should_ have marked that region reserved in the e820 memory descriptor tables, but did not. It is fixed by rounding up the default starting address of PCI memory allocations, so that we leave a bigger gap after the final known memory location. The amount of rounding depends on how big the unused memory gap is that we can allocate IOMEM from. Based on example code by Linus.

* [PATCH] fbdev: Resurrect hooks to get EDID from firmwareAntonino A. Daplas2005-09-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For the i386, code is already present in video.S that gets the EDID from the video BIOS. Make this visible so drivers can also use this data as fallback when i2c does not work. To ensure that the EDID block is returned for the primary graphics adapter only, by check if the IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move some more frequently read variables that showed up during some of our performance tests as sometimes ending up in hot cachelines to the read_mostly section. Fix: Move the __read_mostly from before hpet_usec_quotient to follow the variable like the other uses of __read_mostly.

| * [PATCH] x86: sutomatically enable bigsmp when we have more than 8 CPUsVenkatesh Pallipadi2005-09-051-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i386 generic subarchitecture requires explicit dmi strings or command line to enable bigsmp mode. The patch below removes that restriction, and uses bigsmp as soon as it finds more than 8 logical CPUs, Intel processors and xAPIC support.

| * [PATCH] x86: fix EFI memory map parsingMatt Tolentino2005-09-051-5/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The memory descriptors that comprise the EFI memory map are not fixed in stone such that the size could change in the future. This uses the memory descriptor size obtained from EFI to iterate over the memory map entries during boot. This enables the removal of an x86 specific pad (and ifdef) in the EFI header. I also couldn't stomach the broken up nature of the function to put EFI runtime calls into virtual mode any longer so I fixed that up a bit as well. For reference, this patch only impacts x86.

* Remove "noreplacement" kernel command line option.Linus Torvalds2005-07-221-13/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is no longer valid to not replace instructions, since we depend on different behaviour depending on CPU capabilities. If you need to limit the capabilities of the replacements (because the boot CPU has features that non-boot CPU's do not have, for example), you need to explicitly disable those capabilities that are not shared across all CPU's. For example, if your boot CPU has FXSR, but other CPU's in your system do not, you need to use the "nofxsr" kernel command line, not disable instruction replacement per se.

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch retrieves the max_pfn being used by previous kernel and stores it in a safe location (saved_max_pfn) before it is overwritten due to user defined memory map. This pfn is used to make sure that user does not try to read the physical memory beyond saved_max_pfn.

* [PATCH] crashdump: x86 crashkernel optionEric W. Biederman2005-06-251-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the x86 implementation of the crashkernel option. It reserves a window of memory very early in the bootup process, so we never use it for anything but the kernel to switch to when the running kernel panics. In addition to reserving this memory a resource structure is registered so looking at /proc/iomem it is clear what happened to that memory. ISSUES: Is it possible to implement this in a architecture generic way? What should be done with architectures that always use an iommu and thus don't report their RAM memory resources in /proc/iomem?

* [PATCH] kexec: reserve Bootmem fix for booting nondefault location kernelVivek Goyal2005-06-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a problem with reserving memory during boot up of a kernel built for non-default location. Currently boot memory allocator reserves the memory required by kernel image, boot allocaotor bitmap etc. It assumes that kernel is loaded at 1MB (HIGH_MEMORY hard coded to 1024*1024). But kernel can be built for non-default locatoin, hence existing hardcoding will lead to reserving unnecessary memory. This patch fixes it.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+1535
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
