    [PATCH] i386: Add missing !X86_PAE dependincy to the 2G/2G split. · 6c2af358
    Bill Irwin authored
    Only 1GB-aligned kernel/user splits are now handled for PAE. The
    2GB/2GB split attempts to avoid aliasing vmallocspace with the 1:1
    mapping for physical memory by using an actual split of 1.875/2.125
    to accommodate 128MB of vmallocspace out of what would otherwise
    be a full 2GB for userspace. That attempt disturbs the alignment
    required by PAE for 2GB/2GB splits, and furthermore does not provide
    a 2GB/2GB split as advertised.
    
    This patch resolves the issues here in two manners. The first is
    by providing a true 2GB/2GB split in addition to the 1.875/2.125
    split. The second is by renaming the 1.875/2.125 split to
    CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT analogously to CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT, which
    performs a similar manuever to avoid aliasing vmallocspace with
    the 1:1 mapping for physical memory around the 3GB boundary. With
    the 1.875/2.125 split properly-named, its config option is then
    tagged as depending on !HIGHMEM to express the PAE implementation's
    current inability to deal with such unaligned splits.
    
    This patch is essentially a combination of two patches, one written
    by Eric Biederman and the other by Eric Dumazet. If they could add
    their Signed-off-by: to this, I'd be much obliged.
