      x86: allow extend_brk users to reserve brk space · 796216a5
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Impact: new interface; remove hard-coded limit
      
      Add RESERVE_BRK(name, size) macro to reserve space in the brk
      area.  This should be a conservative (ie, larger) estimate of
      how much space might possibly be required from the brk area.
      Any unused space will be freed, so there's no real downside
      on making the reservation too large (within limits).
      
      The name should be unique within a given file, and somewhat
      descriptive.
      
      The C definition of RESERVE_BRK() ends up being more complex than
      one would expect to work around a cluster of gcc infelicities:
      
        The first attempt was to simply try putting __section(.brk_reservation)
        on a variable.  This doesn't work because it ends up making it a
        @progbits section, which gets actual space allocated in the vmlinux
        executable.
      
        The second attempt was to emit the space into a section using asm,
        but gcc doesn't allow arguments to be passed to file-level asm()
        statements, making it hard to pass in the size.
      
        The final attempt is to wrap the asm() in a function to allow
        it to have arguments, and put the function itself into the
        .discard section, which vmlinux*.lds drops entirely from the
        emitted vmlinux.

      x86-32: use brk segment for allocating initial kernel pagetable · ccf3fe02
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Impact: use new interface instead of previous ad hoc implementation
      
      Rather than having special purpose init_pg_table_start/end variables
      to delimit the kernel pagetable built by head_32.S, just use the brk
      mechanism to extend the bss for the new pagetable.
      
      This patch removes init_pg_table_start/end and pg0, defines __brk_base
      (which is page-aligned and immediately follows _end), initializes
      the brk region to start there, and uses it for the 32-bit pagetable.

      x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocations · 93dbda7c
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Impact: new interface
      
      Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
      to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations.  This is better than
      using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
      get used.
      
      The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
      space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
      that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
      something into it.
      
      The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
      (__brk_base to __brk_limit).  The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
      up to __bss_stop.
      
      Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
      pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
      in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
      Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
      kernel memory pool.
      
      Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
      than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
      to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
      with a big kernel image and no PSE support).  So long as the system
      has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
      there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

      This reverts commit e088e4c9.
      
      Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
      regression in bug 12826.
      
      Course of action:
       - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
         if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
         If it isn't, we need to fix that.
       - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
       - try again with the removal in six months.
      
      It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
      it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
      a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

      And that rdmsr faults (not allowed from non-0 PL).  We can get around
      this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid.  5 seems like a good
      number.

      period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(),
      the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list.

      defined the __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() function

      We can get the four slot virt addresses on link time and
      store them to array slot_virt[].
