They are the same, and we could move them out from head32/64.c to setup.c. We are using memblock, and it could handle overlapping properly, so we don't need to reserve some at first to hold the location, and just need to make sure we reserve them before we are using memblock to find free mem to use.

During kdump kernel's booting stage, it need to find low ram for swiotlb buffer when system does not support intel iommu/dmar remapping. kexed-tools is appending memmap=exactmap and range from /proc/iomem with "Crash kernel", and that range is above 4G for 64bit after boot protocol 2.12. We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low", so kexec-tools could find that info and append to kdump kernel command line. Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G. User could specify the size with crashkernel_low=XX[KMG]. -v2: fix warning that is found by Fengguang's test robot. -v3: move out get_mem_size change to another patch, to solve compiling warning that is found by Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> -v4: user must specify crashkernel_low if system does not support intel or amd iommu.

Linear mode (CR0.PG = 0) is mutually exclusive with 64-bit mode; all 64-bit code has to use page tables. This makes it awkward before we have first set up properly all-covering page tables to access objects that are outside the static kernel range. So far we have dealt with that simply by mapping a fixed amount of low memory, but that fails in at least two upcoming use cases: 1. We will support load and run kernel, struct boot_params, ramdisk, command line, etc. above the 4 GiB mark. 2. need to access ramdisk early to get microcode to update that as early possible. We could use early_iomap to access them too, but it will make code to messy and hard to be unified with 32 bit. Hence, set up a #PF table and use a fixed number of buffers to set up page tables on demand. If the buffers fill up then we simply flush them and start over. These buffers are all in __initdata, so it does not increase RAM usage at runtime. Thus, with the help of the #PF handler, we can set the final kernel mapping from blank, and switch to init_level4_pgt later. During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available, we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound. The kernel region itself will be properly mapped; other mappings may be spurious. early_make_pgtable is using kernel high mapping address to access pages to set page table. -v4: Add phys_base offset to make kexec happy, and add init_mapping_kernel() - Yinghai -v5: fix compiling with xen, and add back ident level3 and level2 for xen also move back init_level4_pgt from BSS to DATA again. because we have to clear it anyway. - Yinghai -v6: switch to init_level4_pgt in init_mem_mapping. - Yinghai -v7: remove not needed clear_page for init_level4_page it is with fill 512,8,0 already in head_64.S - Yinghai -v8: we need to keep that handler alive until init_mem_mapping and don't let early_trap_init to trash that early #PF handler. So split early_trap_pf_init out and move it down. - Yinghai -v9: switchover only cover kernel space instead of 1G so could avoid touch possible mem holes. - Yinghai -v11: change far jmp back to far return to initial_code, that is needed to fix failure that is reported by Konrad on AMD systems. - Yinghai Signed-off-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359058816-7615-12-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: NH.

Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first. Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until all pages get mapped. alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage. Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges, that will be updated when lower pages get mapped. Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have more mapped pages on hand. We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done in alloc_low_page() directly. At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code. -v2: update to after fix_xen change, also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it. -v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end. -v4: don't need fix_xen change now. -v5: add changelog about moving about reserving pagetable to alloc_low_page.

Currently direct mappings are created for [ 0 to max_low_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ) and [ 4GB to max_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ), which may include regions that are not backed by actual DRAM. This is fine for holes under 4GB which are covered by fixed and variable range MTRRs to be UC. However, we run into trouble on higher memory addresses which cannot be covered by MTRRs. Our system with 1TB of RAM has an e820 that looks like this: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000000983ff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000098400-0x000000000009ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000000d0000-0x00000000000fffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000c7ebffff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ec0000-0x00000000c7ed7fff] ACPI data BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ed8000-0x00000000c7ed9fff] ACPI NVS BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7eda000-0x00000000c7ffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x00000000fec0ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fee00000-0x00000000fee00fff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000e037ffffff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000e038000000-0x000000fcffffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000010000000000-0x0000011ffeffffff] usable and so direct mappings are created for huge memory hole between 0x000000e038000000 to 0x0000010000000000. Even though the kernel never generates memory accesses in that region, since the page tables mark them incorrectly as being WB, our (AMD) processor ends up causing a MCE while doing some memory bookkeeping/optimizations around that area. This patch iterates through e820 and only direct maps ranges that are marked as E820_RAM, and keeps track of those pfn ranges. Depending on the alignment of E820 ranges, this may possibly result in using smaller size (i.e. 4K instead of 2M or 1G) page tables. -v2: move changes from setup.c to mm/init.c, also use for_each_mem_pfn_range instead. - Yinghai Lu -v3: add calculate_all_table_space_size() to get correct needed page table size. - Yinghai Lu -v4: fix add_pfn_range_mapped() to get correct max_low_pfn_mapped when mem map does have hole under 4g that is found by Konard on xen domU with 8g ram. - Yinghai Signed-off-by: NJacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1353123563-3103-16-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: NPekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NH.

CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how a tick will be at a given HZ. This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ, the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit, so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second. This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources. Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error. Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very early during boot, there are a number of cases where there are different possible hardware timers that have different tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where there are numerous different types of hardware, each having their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to accurately support different hardware with a single kernel. For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources who's granularity error is negligable. Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do everywhere to handle these edge cases. This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified dynamically at boot. This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock. NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies() calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of setup_arch() should resolve the regression: register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE) Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NJohn Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

At this stage x86_init.paging.pagetable_setup_done is only used in the XEN case. Move its content in the x86_init.paging.pagetable_init setup function and remove the now unused x86_init.paging.pagetable_setup_done remaining infrastructure.
