We have seen bad_pte_print when testing crashdump on an SN machine in recent 2.6.20 kernel. There are tons of bad pte print (pfn < max_low_pfn) reports when the crash kernel boots up, all those reported bad pages are inside initmem range; That is because if the crash kernel code and data happens to be at the beginning of the 1st node. build_node_maps in discontig.c will bypass reserved regions with filter_rsvd_memory. Since min_low_pfn is calculated in build_node_map, so in this case, min_low_pfn will be greater than kernel code and data. Because pages inside initmem are freed and reused later, we saw pfn_valid check fail on those pages. I think this theoretically happen on a normal kernel. When I check min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation in contig.c and discontig.c. I found more issues than this. 1. min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is inconsistent between contig.c and discontig.c, min_low_pfn is calculated as the first page number of boot memmap in contig.c (Why? Though this may work at the most of the time, I don't think it is the right logic). It is calculated as the lowest physical memory page number bypass reserved regions in discontig.c. max_low_pfn is calculated include reserved regions in contig.c. It is calculated exclude reserved regions in discontig.c. 2. If kernel code and data region is happen to be at the begin or the end of physical memory, when min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is bypassed kernel code and data, pages in initmem will report bad. 3. initrd is also in reserved regions, if it is at the begin or at the end of physical memory, kernel will refuse to reuse the memory. Because the virt_addr_valid check in free_initrd_mem. So it is better to fix and clean up those issues. Calculate min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn in a consistent way.

The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary kernel as a kernel command line option. The memory area for this header is also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64. The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory. If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it. So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor type into EFI_LOADER_DATA. This type is the same type used for the kernel data and for initramfs. In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image. This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen. Pretty straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory(). The address for the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size(). The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here: http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/fastboot/2007-February/005983.htmlSigned-off-by: NMagnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Cc: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Cc: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I noticed a problem related to inconsistent use of add_active_range. There doesn't appear any reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should register memory to add_active_range with different code. So I've changed the code into a common implementation. The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling add_active_range in count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed. We were lucky with 16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules. count_node_pages has reserved regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text and data aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages. So linked kernel regions wasn't reported to add_active_regions. This resulted in free_initmem causing numerous bad_page reports. This won't occur with this patch because now all known memory regions are reported by register_active_ranges.

contig.c (FLATMEM) requires the same optimization as in discontig.c for show_mem when VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is in use. Otherwise FLATMEM has softlockup timeouts. This was boot tested for memory configuration: SPARSEMEM, DISCONTIG+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP, FLATMEM, FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP with largest memory gap less than LARGE_GAP by using boot parameter "mem=". This was boot tested and "echo m >/proc/sysrq-trigger" output evaluated for : FLATMEM, FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP, DISCONTIGMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and SPARSEMEM.

This patch introduces the conditional changes required for the three memory models. With [patch 1/4] there are three memory models; FLATMEM, DISCONTIG and SPARSEMEM. Also a new arch include file sparemem.h is introduced for defining SPARSEMEM parameters. Signed-off-by: NBob Picco <bob.picco@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

New version leaves the original memory map unmodified. Also saves any granule trimmings for use by the uncached memory allocator. Inspired by Khalid Aziz (various traces of his patch still remain). Fixes to uncached_build_memmap() and sn2 testing by Martin Hicks. Signed-off-by: NTony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

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!
