      x86: Use find_e820() instead of hard coded trampoline address · 893f38d1
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      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 b24c2a92 ("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.

      mm: don't use alloc_bootmem_low() where not strictly needed · 3c1596ef
      Jan Beulich authored 
      Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual
addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense
when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill
further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all
cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full
available range.

Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on
code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I
know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

Need to update size for left range at first in case it is header.

also add __e820_add_region take more parameter.

      Impact: fix crashes under Xen due to unrobust e820 code

find_e820_area_size() must return a properly distinguishable and
out-of-bounds value when it fails, and -1UL does not meet that
criteria on i386/PAE. Additionally, callers of the function must
check against that value.

early_reserve_e820() should be prepared for the region found to be
outside of the addressable range on 32-bits.

e820_update_range_map() should not blindly update e820, but should do
all it work on the map it got a pointer passed for (which in 50% of the
cases is &e820_saved). It must also not call e820_add_region(), as that
again acts on e820 unconditionally.

The issues were found when trying to make this option work in our Xen
kernel (i.e. where some of the silent assumptions made in the code
would not hold).

Notice the strange blank PGTABLE entry.

The reason is init_pg_table is big enough, and zero range is called
with init_memory_mapping/reserve_early().

So try to check the range in reserve_early()

      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      Impact: fix trampoline sizing bug, save space

While debugging a suspend-to-RAM related issue it occured to me that
if the trampoline code had grown past 4 KB, we would have been
allocating too little memory for it, since the 4 KB size of the
trampoline is hardcoded into arch/x86/kernel/e820.c .  Change that
by making the kernel compute the trampoline size and allocate as much
memory as necessary.

      x86: Clean up late e820 resource allocation · 1f987577
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This makes the late e820 resources use 'insert_resource_expand_to_fit()'
instead of doing a 'reserve_region_with_split()', and also avoids
marking them as IORESOURCE_BUSY.

This results in us being perfectly happy to use pre-existing PCI
resources even if they were marked as being in a reserved region, while
still avoiding any _new_ allocations in the reserved regions.  It also
makes for a simpler and more accurate resource tree.

Example resource allocation from Jonathan Corbet, who has firmware that
has an e820 reserved entry that covered a big range (e0000000-fed003ff),
and that had various PCI resources in it set up by firmware.

With old kernels, the reserved range would force us to re-allocate all
pre-existing PCI resources, and his reserved range would end up looking
like this:

	e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
	  fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
	  fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0

where only the pre-allocated special regions (IOAPIC and HPET) were kept
around.

With 2.6.28-rc2, which uses 'reserve_region_with_split()', Jonathan's
resource tree looked like this:

	e0000000-fe7fffff : reserved
	fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
	 fe800000-fe8fffff : reserved
	fe900000-fe9d9aff : reserved
	fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
	 fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : reserved
	fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
	 fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : reserved
	fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
	 fe9da000-fe9dafff : reserved
	fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
	 fe9db000-fe9dbfff : reserved
	fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
	 fe9dc000-fe9dffff : reserved
	fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
	 fe9e0000-fe9fffff : reserved
	fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
	 fea00000-fea7ffff : reserved
	fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
	 fea80000-feafffff : reserved
	feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
	 feb00000-febfffff : reserved
	fec00000-fed003ff : reserved
	 fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
	 fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0

and because the reserved entry had been split and moved into the
individual resources, and because it used the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag, the
drivers that actually wanted to _use_ those resources couldn't actually
attach to them:

	e1000e 0000:00:19.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9e0000-0xfe9fffff]
	HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9dc000-0xfe9dffff]

with this patch, the resource tree instead becomes

	e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
	  fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
	  fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
	  fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
	    fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : ehci_hcd
	  fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
	  fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
	    fe9db000-fe9dbfff : e1000e
	  fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
	    fe9dc000-fe9dffff : ICH HD audio
	  fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
	    fe9e0000-fe9fffff : e1000e
	  fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
	  fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
	  feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
	  fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
	  fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0

ie the one reserved region now ends up surrounding all the PCI resources
that were allocated inside of it by firmware, and because it is not
marked BUSY, drivers have no problem attaching to the pre-allocated
resources.

      x86: fix memmap=exactmap boot argument · d6be118a
      Prarit Bhargava authored 
      When using kdump modifying the e820 map is yielding strange results.

For example starting with

 BIOS-provided physical RAM map:

 BIOS-e820: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)

 BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved)

 BIOS-e820: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)

and booting with args

memmap=exactmap memmap=640K@0K memmap=5228K@16384K memmap=125188K@22252K memmap=76K#1047424K memmap=564K#1047500K

resulted in:

 user-defined physical RAM map:
 user: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000093400 (usable)
 user: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
 user: 0000000000100000 - 000000003fee0000 (usable)

 user: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)

But should have resulted in:

 user-defined physical RAM map:
 user: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
 user: 0000000001000000 - 000000000151b000 (usable)
 user: 00000000015bb000 - 0000000008ffc000 (usable)
 user: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI data)

This is happening because of an improper usage of strcmp() in the
e820 parsing code.  The strcmp() always returns !0 and never resets the
value for e820.nr_map and returns an incorrect user-defined map.

This patch fixes the problem.

Now that all e820 operations are cleaned up, unified, tightened up,
the e820 map always get updated to reality, we don't need to keep
this secondary mechanism anymore.

If you hit this commit in bisection it means something slipped through.
