* x86/memtest: Shorten time for testsAlexander Holler2013-02-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By just reversing the order memtest is using the test patterns, an additional round to zero the memory is not necessary. This might save up to a second or even more for setups which are doing tests on every boot.

* memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range() with generic onesTejun Heo2011-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Other than sanity check and debug message, the x86 specific version of memblock reserve/free functions are simple wrappers around the generic versions - memblock_reserve/free(). This patch adds debug messages with caller identification to the generic versions and replaces x86 specific ones and kills them. arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and arch/x86/mm/memblock.c are empty after this change and removed.

* x86: Replace memblock_x86_find_in_range_size() with for_each_free_mem_range()Tejun Heo2011-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | setup_bios_corruption_check() and memtest do_one_pass() open code memblock free area iteration using memblock_x86_find_in_range_size(). Convert them to use for_each_free_mem_range() instead. This leaves memblock_x86_find_in_range_size() and memblock_x86_check_reserved_size() unused. Kill them.

* x86: memtest: remove 64-bit divisionAndreas Herrmann2009-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using gcc 3.3.5 a "make allmodconfig" + "CONFIG_KVM=n" triggers a build error: arch/x86/mm/built-in.o(.init.text+0x43f7): In function `__change_page_attr': arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:114: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 The culprit turned out to be a division in arch/x86/mm/memtest.c For more info see this thread: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124416232620683 The patch entirely removes the division that caused the build error.

* x86: memtest: reuse test patterns when memtest parameter exceeds number of ↵Andreas Herrmann2009-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | available patterns Impact: fix unexpected behaviour when pattern number is out of range Current implementation provides 4 patterns for memtest. The code doesn't check whether the memtest parameter value exceeds the maximum pattern number. Instead the memtest code pretends to test with non-existing patterns, e.g. when booting with memtest=10 I've observed the following ... early_memtest: pattern num 10 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 0 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 1 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 2 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 3 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 4 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 5 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 6 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 7 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 8 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 9 ... But in fact Linux didn't test anything for patterns > 4 as the default case in memtest() is to leave the function. I suggest to use the memtest parameter as the number of tests to be performed and to re-iterate over all existing patterns.

* x86: memtest fix use of reserve_early()Daniele Calore2008-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi all, Wrong usage of 2nd parameter in reserve_early call. 66/75: reserve_early(start_bad, last_bad - start_bad, "BAD RAM"); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The correct way is to use 'end' address and not 'size'. As a bonus a fix to the printk format. Signed-off-by: Daniele Calore <orkaan@orkaan.org> Acked-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
