2009-03-13x86: more MTRR debug printoutsYinghai Lu1-44/+51
Impact: improve MTRR debugging messages There's still inefficiencies suspected with the MTRR sanitizing code, so make sure we get all the info we need from a dmesg. - Remove unneeded mtrr_show (It will only printout one time by first cpu, so it is no big deal.) - Also print out directly from get_mtrr, because it doesn't update mtrr_state.

2009-03-13x86: create a non-zero sized bm_pte only when neededJan Beulich1-3/+16
Impact: kernel image size reduction Since in most configurations the pmd page needed maps the same range of virtual addresses which is also mapped by the earlier inserted one for covering FIX_DBGP_BASE, that page (and its insertion in the page tables) can be avoided altogether by detecting the condition at compile time.

2009-03-13x86: fix code paths used by update_mptableJan Beulich2-8/+26
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).

2009-03-13x86: clean up output resulting from update_mptable optionJan Beulich1-3/+3
Impact: cleanup Without apic=verbose, using the update_mptable option would result in garbled and confusing output due to the inconsistent use of printk() vs apic_printk().

2009-03-13x86, 32-bit: also use cpuinfo_x86's x86_{phys,virt}_bits membersJan Beulich4-11/+25
Impact: 32/64-bit consolidation In a first step, this allows fixing phys_addr_valid() for PAE (which until now reported all addresses to be valid). Subsequently, this will also allow simplifying some MTRR handling code.

2009-03-13x86, 32-bit: also limit NODES_HIGH_SHIFT hereJan Beulich1-1/+1
Impact: configuration bug fix Just like for x86-64, the range of widths valid for NODE_SHIFT is not unbounded. The upper bound 64-bit uses is definitely also an upper bound for 32-bit.

2009-03-13x86: unify kmap_atomic_pfn() and iomap_atomic_prot_pfn(), fixIngo Molnar2-19/+19
Impact: build fix Move kmap_atomic_prot_pfn() to iomap_32.c. It is used on all 32-bit kernels, while highmem_32.c is only built on highmem kernels. ( Note: the debug_kmap_atomic_prot() check is removed for now, that problem is handled via another patch. ) Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20090311143317.GA22244@localhost.localdomain> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-03-12x86: use targets in the boot Makefile instead of CLEAN_FILESH. Peter Anvin2-4/+1
Impact: cleanup Instead of using CLEAN_FILES in arch/x86/Makefile, add generated files to targets in arch/x86/boot/Makefile, so they will get naturally cleaned up by "make clean". Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

2009-03-11x86: remove zImage supportH. Peter Anvin5-91/+18
Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

This restriction stemmed from implementation detail and made things a bit less intuitive. This patch allows @dyn_size to be specified regardless of @unit_size and swaps the positions of @dyn_size and @unit_size so that the parameter order makes more sense (static, reserved and dyn sizes followed by enclosing unit_size). While at it, add @unit_size >= PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE sanity check. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
