2008-10-13x86: print out EBDA/lowmem addressIngo Molnar
it's useful for debugging purposes to know the location of the EBDA. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-07-08x86: move reserve_setup_data to setup.cYinghai Lu
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. Like the RAMDISK (already handled). Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Cc: andi@firstfloor.org Tested-by: Huang, Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-07-08x86 boot: allow overlapping early reserve memory rangesPaul Jackson
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.)
