* x86: fix mttr trimmingYinghai Lu2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pavel Emelyanov reported that his networking card did not work and bisected it down to: " The commit 093af8d7f0ba3c6be1485973508584ef081e9f93 x86_32: trim memory by updating e820 broke my e1000 card: on loading driver says that e1000: probe of 0000:04:03.0 failed with error -5 and the interface doesn't appear. " on a 32-bit kernel, base will overflow when try to do PAGE_SHIFT, and highest_addr will always less 4G. So use pfn instead of address to avoid the overflow when more than 4g RAM is installed on a 32-bit kernel. Many thanks to Pavel Emelyanov for reporting and testing it.

* x86_32: trim memory by updating e820Yinghai Lu2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the RAM and need to update e820. reuse some code on 64-bit as well. here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move mtrr_bp_init early. The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system: from: [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable) to: [ 0.000000] modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable) [ 0.000000] modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved) According to Justin it makes quite a difference: | When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386, | takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).

* x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrsJesse Barnes2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be marked uncached. Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel starts really using memory (i.e. right around init time). This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code) goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match. A fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug. Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the boot_cpu_data structure being setup. This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

* x86: mtrr use type bool [RESEND AGAIN]Paul Jimenez2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a janitorish patch to 1) remove private TRUE/FALSE #def's in favor of using the standard enum from linux/stddef.h and 2) switch the variables holding those values to type 'bool' (from linux/types.h) since it both seems more appropriate and allows for potentially better optimization. As a truly minor aside, I removed a couple of comments documenting a 'do_safe' parameter that seems to no longer exist.

* cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()Gautham R Shenoy2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed. In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the cpu_present_map there.
