2008-07-08x86: add flags parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic()Bernhard Walle
This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic() like it already has been added in reserve_bootmem() with commit 72a7fe3967dbf86cb34e24fbf1d957fe24d2f246. It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that function. The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic() for crashkernel reservation.

2008-07-08x86, generic: CPA add statistics about state of direct mapping v4Andi Kleen
Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to /proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the kernel will run slower. This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how many are split. Useful for general insight into the kernel. v2: Add hotplug locking to 64bit to plug a very obscure theoretical race. 32bit doesn't need it because it doesn't support hotadd for lowmem.

2008-04-28hotplug-memory: make online_page() commonJeremy Fitzhardinge
All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually identical; x86-32 is slightly different. x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into add_one_highpage_init. I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

2008-04-24x86: introduce /dev/mem restrictions with a config optionArjan van de Ven
This patch introduces a restriction on /dev/mem: Only non-memory can be read or written unless the newly introduced config option is set. The X server needs access to /dev/mem for the PCI space, but it doesn't need access to memory; both the file permissions and SELinux permissions of /dev/mem just make X effectively super-super powerful. With the exception of the BIOS area, there's just no valid app that uses /dev/mem on actual memory. Other popular users of /dev/mem are rootkits and the like. (note: mmap access of memory via /dev/mem was already not allowed since a really long time) People who want to use /dev/mem for kernel debugging can enable the config option. The restrictions of this patch have been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for at least 4 years without any problems.

2008-02-26x86: fix spontaneous reboot with allyesconfig bzImageIngo Molnar
recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously rebooting during early bootup. after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel image: #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (40*1024*1024) which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass: text data bss dec hex filename 29703744 4222751 8646224 42572719 2899baf vmlinux 40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/ So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-) So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped. (should anyone be that crazy or lazy) We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather pointless and arbitrary.

2008-02-18x86: zap invalid and unused pmds in early bootThomas Gleixner
The early boot code maps KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (currently 40MB) starting from __START_KERNEL_map. The kernel itself only needs _text to _end mapped in the high alias. On relocatible kernels the ASM setup code adjusts the compile time created high mappings to the relocation. This creates invalid pmd entries for negative offsets: 0xffffffff80000000 -> pmd entry: ffffffffff2001e3 It points outside of the physical address space and is marked present. This starts at the virtual address __START_KERNEL_map and goes up to the point where the first valid physical address (0x0) is mapped. Zap the mappings before _text and after _end right away in early boot. This removes also the invalid entries. Furthermore it simplifies the range check for high aliases.

2008-02-09x86: introduce page pool in cpaThomas Gleixner
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC was not possible on 64-bit due to its early-bootup hardcoded reliance on PSE pages, and the unrobustness of the runtime splitup of large pages. The splitup ended in recursive calls to alloc_pages() when a page for a pte split was requested. Avoid the recursion with a preallocated page pool, which is used to split up large mappings and gets refilled in the return path of kernel_map_pages after the split has been done. The size of the page pool is adjusted to the available memory. This part just implements the page pool and the initialization w/o using it yet.

2008-02-07Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().
