2007-05-11x86_64: display more intuitive error message if kernel is not 2MB alignedVivek Goyal1-7/+0
o x86_64 kernel needs to be compiled for 2MB aligned addresses. Currently we are using BUILD_BUG_ON() to warn the user if he has not done so. But looks like folks are not finding message very intutive and don't open the respective c file to find problem source. (Bug 8439) arch/x86_64/kernel/head64.c: In function 'x86_64_start_kernel': arch/x86_64/kernel/head64.c:70: error: size of array 'type name' is negative o Using preprocessor directive #error to print a better message if CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is not aligned to 2MB boundary.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: build-time checkingVivek Goyal1-0/+7
o X86_64 kernel should run from 2MB aligned address for two reasons. - Performance. - For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference between compile time address and load time physical address. This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time kernel addresses are 2MB aligned. o Flag the error at compile time if one is trying to build a kernel which does not meet alignment restrictions.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Remove the identity mapping as early as possibleVivek Goyal1-6/+11
With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page allocator there is nothing that needs identity mapped pages, once we start executing C code. So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code. The functions are subtly different thus the name change. This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier attempt to move the identity mappings as early as possible, and is now no longer needed. Essentially I have replaced boot_level4_pgt with trampoline_level4_pgt in trampoline.S Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: modify copy_bootdata to use virtual addressesVivek Goyal1-9/+8
Use virtual addresses instead of physical addresses in copy bootdata. In addition fix the implementation of the old bootloader convention. Everything is at real_mode_data always. It is just that sometimes real_mode_data was relocated by setup.S to not sit at 0x90000. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Remove need for early lockdep initAndi Kleen1-7/+1
I think it was only needed for the printks and we can do them later. I put in a single early_printk so that we know the kernel is alive (early_printk doesn't need any locks) This makes some things easier for initialization of unwind for lockdep, which is needed by later patches. cc: mingo@elte.hu Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-09-26[PATCH] Convert x86-64 to early paramAndi Kleen1-15/+0
Instead of hackish manual parsing Requires earlier i386 patchkit, but also fixes i386 early_printk again. I removed some obsolete really early parameters which didn't do anything useful. Also made a few parameters that needed it early (mostly oops printing setup) Also removed one panic check that wasn't visible without early console anyways (the early console is now initialized after that panic) This cleans up a lot of code.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Remove all ifdefs for local/io apicAndi Kleen1-2/+0
IO-APIC or local APIC can only be disabled at runtime anyways and Kconfig has forced these options on for a long time now. The Kconfigs are kept only now for the benefit of the shared acpi boot.c code. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: x86_64 early initIngo Molnar1-0/+5

2006-01-11[PATCH] x86_64: Allocate PDAs in the local nodeRavikiran G Thirumalai1-0/+3
Patch uses a static PDA array early at boot and reallocates processor PDA with node local memory when kmalloc is ready, just before pda_init.

2005-11-14[PATCH] x86_64: Unmap NULL during early bootupSiddha, Suresh B1-0/+8
We should zap the low mappings, as soon as possible, so that we can catch kernel bugs more effectively. Previously early boot had NULL mapped and didn't trap on NULL references. This patch introduces boot_level4_pgt, which will always have low identity addresses mapped. Druing boot, all the processors will use this as their level4 pgt. On BP, we will switch to init_level4_pgt as soon as we enter C code and zap the low mappings as soon as we are done with the usage of identity low mapped addresses. On AP's we will zap the low mappings as soon as we jump to C code.

2005-06-23[PATCH] reorganize x86-64 NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM config optionsMatt Tolentino1-1/+1
In order to use the alternative sparsemem implmentation for NUMA kernels, we need to reorganize the config options. This patch effectively abstracts out the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM options to CONFIG_NUMA in most cases. Thus, the discontigmem implementation may be employed as always, but the sparsemem implementation may be used alternatively.

2005-05-01[PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128Venkatesh Pallipadi1-3/+1
The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32. With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128. The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820). As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect on bootloader-setup code interface. Patch covers both i386 and x86-64. Tested on: * grub booting bzImage * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled * pxeboot of bzImage Side-effect: bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+117
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
