This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86 legacy BIOS E820 interface. The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX == 128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the size for several arrays and loops over those arrays. The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro evaluated for the array being looped. That way, a subsequent patch can change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code. This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine, which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries. This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array. Once again, this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code. As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration. This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel binary. [ mingo@elte.hu: merged to -tip ] Signed-off-by: NPaul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code in this case. To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820 chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test for CF = 1 before the SMAP check. This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to spec. Signed-off-by: NH.

The e820 probe code was checking %edx, not %eax, for the SMAP signature on return. This worked on *almost* all systems, since %edx still contained SMAP from the call on entry, but on a handful of systems it failed -- plus, we would have missed real mismatches. The error output is "=d" to make sure gcc knows %edx is clobbered here. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

At least one system (a Geode system with a Digital Logic BIOS) has been found which suddenly stops reporting the SMAP signature when reading the E820 memory chain. We can't know what, exactly, broke in the BIOS, so if we detect this situation, declare the E820 data unusable and fall back to E801. Also, revert to original behavior of always probing all memory methods; that way all the memory information is available to the kernel. Signed-off-by: NH.
