2010-08-27x86: Use memblock to replace early_resYinghai Lu
1. replace find_e820_area with memblock_find_in_range 2. replace reserve_early with memblock_x86_reserve_range 3. replace free_early with memblock_x86_free_range. 4. NO_BOOTMEM will switch to use memblock too. 5. use _e820, _early wrap in the patch, in following patch, will replace them all 6. because memblock_x86_free_range support partial free, we can remove some special care 7. Need to make sure that memblock_find_in_range() is called after memblock_x86_fill() so adjust some calling later in setup.c::setup_arch() -- corruption_check and mptable_update -v2: Move reserve_brk() early Before fill_memblock_area, to avoid overlap between brk and memblock_find_in_range() that could happen We have more then 128 RAM entry in E820 tables, and memblock_x86_fill() could use memblock_find_in_range() to find a new place for memblock.memory.region array. and We don't need to use extend_brk() after fill_memblock_area() So move reserve_brk() early before fill_memblock_area(). -v3: Move find_smp_config early To make sure memblock_find_in_range not find wrong place, if BIOS doesn't put mptable in right place. -v4: Treat RESERVED_KERN as RAM in memblock.memory. and they are already in memblock.reserved already.. use __NOT_KEEP_MEMBLOCK to make sure memblock related code could be freed later. -v5: Generic version __memblock_find_in_range() is going from high to low, and for 32bit active_region for 32bit does include high pages need to replace the limit with memblock.default_alloc_limit, aka get_max_mapped() -v6: Use current_limit instead -v7: check with MEMBLOCK_ERROR instead of -1ULL or -1L -v8: Set memblock_can_resize early to handle EFI with more RAM entries -v9: update after kmemleak changes in mainline Suggested-by: David S.

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.)
