      sysfs: add /sys/firmware/memmap · 69ac9cd6
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      This patch adds /sys/firmware/memmap interface that represents the BIOS
      (or Firmware) provided memory map. The tree looks like:
      
          /sys/firmware/memmap/0/start   (hex number)
                                 end     (hex number)
                                 type    (string)
          ...                 /1/start
                                 end
                                 type
      
      With the following shell snippet one can print the memory map in the same form
      the kernel prints itself when booting on x86 (the E820 map).
      
        --------- 8< --------------------------
          #!/bin/sh
          cd /sys/firmware/memmap
          for dir in * ; do
              start=$(cat $dir/start)
              end=$(cat $dir/end)
              type=$(cat $dir/type)
              printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
          done
        --------- >8 --------------------------
      
      That patch only provides the needed interface:
      
       1. The sysfs interface.
       2. The structure and enumeration definition.
       3. The function firmware_map_add() and firmware_map_add_early()
          that should be called from architecture code (E820/EFI, for
          example) to add the contents to the interface.
      
      If the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP, the interface does
      nothing without cluttering the architecture-specific code with #ifdef's.
      
      The purpose of the new interface is kexec: While /proc/iomem represents
      the *used* memory map (e.g. modified via kernel parameters like 'memmap'
      and 'mem'), the /sys/firmware/memmap tree represents the unmodified memory
      map provided via the firmware. So kexec can:
      
       - use the original memory map for rebooting,
       - use the /proc/iomem for setting up the ELF core headers for kdump
         case that should only represent the memory of the system.
      
      The patch has been tested on i386 and x86_64.

      x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4 · 23ca4bba
      Mike Travis 提交于
        * Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU".  This is
          used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
          before there are per_cpu areas allocated.
      
          ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu
          areas have been setup".]
      
          This patchset adds these new macros:
      
      	DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue)
      	EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name)
      	DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name)
      
      	early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)
      	early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx)
      	early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu)
      
          The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
          map and pointer.  It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
          elements to "_initvalue".  The early_* macros provide access to
          the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
          pointer.  This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
          but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup.  After
          that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.
      
          The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
          access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
          "early" and "late".  It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
          then it's still valid.  Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
          instead:
      
      	#define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) 			\
      		(early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ?			\
      			early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] :	\
      			per_cpu(_name, _cpu))
      
          A better method is to actually check the pointer manually.  In the
          case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late":
      
      	void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node)
      	{
      	    int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map);
      
      	    if (cpu_to_node_map)
      		    cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node;
      	    else
      		    per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
      	}
      
        * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
          to topology cpumask_t maps are available.  Otherwise, use the function
          returning the cpumask_t value.  This is useful if cpumask_t set size
          is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack.
      
        * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while
          the non-debug case has been optimized a bit.
      
        * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c
      
        * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c
      
      For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.
