      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.

      x86: change static allocation of trampoline area · 3e1e9002
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Impact: fix trampoline sizing bug, save space
      
      While debugging a suspend-to-RAM related issue it occured to me that
      if the trampoline code had grown past 4 KB, we would have been
      allocating too little memory for it, since the 4 KB size of the
      trampoline is hardcoded into arch/x86/kernel/e820.c .  Change that
      by making the kernel compute the trampoline size and allocate as much
      memory as necessary.

      move early_res related from e820_64.c to e820.c
      make edba detection to be done in head32.c
      remove smp_alloc_memory, because we have fixed trampoline address now.
