When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or in a more compact fashion. Example: Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57 Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56 The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned. Last page could be shared with other users. When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page could be freed and we could corrupt other data. code segment in free_init_pages(): | for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) { | ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr)); | init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr)); | memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)), | POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE); | free_page(addr); | totalram_pages++; | } last half page could be used as one whole free page. So page align the boundaries. -v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page. we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could confuse decompressor. -v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes. -v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes. We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes. -v6: remove one WARN() We need to align beginning in free_init_pages() do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes Reported-by: NStanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Tested-by: NStanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Acked-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> LKML-Reference: <1269830604-26214-3-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch changes the 32-bit version of kernel_physical_mapping_init() to return the last mapped address like the 64-bit one so that we can unify the call-site in init_memory_mapping().

It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability, so NX status should be reported. Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change provides feedback for that case as well.

The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is available. Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for the available of NX. This patch: a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function into a single x86_configure_nx() function. EFER control is left to the head code. b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely. Things that need to test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly, and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX. Signed-off-by: NH.

This sparse warning: arch/x86/mm/init.c:83:16: warning: symbol 'check_efer' was not declared. Should it be static? triggers because check_efer() is not decalared before using it. asm/proto.h includes the declaration of check_efer(), so including asm/proto.h to fix that - this also addresses the sparse warning.

The init_gbpages() function is conditionally called from init_memory_mapping() function. There are two call-sites where this 'after_bootmem' condition can be true: setup_arch() and mem_init() via pci_iommu_alloc(). Therefore, it's safe to move the call to init_gbpages() to setup_arch() as it's always called before mem_init(). This removes an after_bootmem use - paving the way to remove all uses of that state variable.

The hooks that we modify are: - Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults) - Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping the instruction that caused the page fault) Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is enabled. (Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault handler.) As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

Do this so we can check the range that is mapped before init_memory_mapping(). To be able to print out meaningful info, we first have to fix 64-bit to have max_pfn_mapped assigned before that call. This also unifies the code-path a bit.

With the introduction of the .brk section, special care must be taken that no unused page table entries remain if _brk_end and _end are separated by a 2M page boundary. cleanup_highmap() runs very early and hence cannot take care of that, hence potential entries needing to be removed past _brk_end must be cleared once the brk allocator has done its job.
