MIPS: Fix incorrect mem=X@Y handling

2018-02-22T14:40:06+00:00

commit 67a3ba25aa955198196f40b76b329b3ab9ad415a upstream.

Commit 73fbc1eba7ff ("MIPS: fix mem=X@Y commandline processing") added a
fix to ensure that the memory range between PHYS_OFFSET and low memory
address specified by mem= cmdline argument is not later processed by
free_all_bootmem.  This change was incorrect for systems where the
commandline specifies more than 1 mem argument, as it will cause all
memory between PHYS_OFFSET and each of the memory offsets to be marked
as reserved, which results in parts of the RAM marked as reserved
(Creator CI20's u-boot has a default commandline argument 'mem=256M@0x0
mem=768M@0x30000000').

Change the behaviour to ensure that only the range between PHYS_OFFSET
and the lowest start address of the memories is marked as protected.

This change also ensures that the range is marked protected even if it's
only defined through the devicetree and not only via commandline
arguments.

MIPS: Add iomem resource for kernel bss section.

2017-11-13T17:40:49+00:00

The kexec/kdump tools need to know where the .bss is so it can be
included in the core dump.  This allows vmcore-dmesg to have access to
the dmesg buffers of the crashed kernel as well as allowing the
debugger to examine variables in the bss section.

Add a request for the bss resource in addition to the already
requested code and data sections.

MIPS: cmdline: Add support for 'memmap' parameter

2017-06-29T00:42:23+00:00

Implement support for parsing 'memmap' kernel command line parameter.

This patch covers parsing of the following two formats for 'memmap'
parameter values:

  - nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
  - nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]

  ([KMG] = K M or G (kilo, mega, giga))

These two allowed formats for parameter value are already documented
in file kernel-parameters.txt in Documentation/admin-guide folder.
Some architectures already support them, but Mips did not prior to
this patch.

Excerpt from Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt:

memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
    [KNL] Force usage of a specific region of memory.
    Region of memory to be used is from ss to ss+nn.

memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
    Mark specific memory as reserved.
    Region of memory to be reserved is from ss to ss+nn.
    Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
        memmap=64K$0x18690000
        or
        memmap=0x10000$0x18690000

There is no need to update this documentation file with respect to
this patch.

MIPS: kexec: Do not reserve invalid crashkernel memory on boot

2017-01-03T15:34:46+00:00

Do not reserve memory for the crashkernel if the commandline argument
points to a wrong location. This can happen if the location is specified
wrong or if the same commandline is reused when starting the crashkernel
- in the latter case the reserved memory would point to the location
from which the crashkernel is executing.

MIPS: fix mem=X@Y commandline processing

2017-01-03T15:34:45+00:00

When a memory offset is specified through the commandline, add the
memory in range PHYS_OFFSET:Y as reserved memory area.
Otherwise the bootmem allocator is initialised with low page equal to
min_low_pfn = PHYS_OFFSET, and in free_all_bootmem will process pages
starting from min_low_pfn instead of PFN(Y).

MIPS: Use early_init_fdt_reserve_self to protect DTB location

2017-01-03T15:34:45+00:00

early_init_fdt_reserve_self is used to tell the boot memory allocator
that a memory is occupied by the DTB, so add it in the MIPS init code to
ensure information about the DTB is added to the boot memory array.

MIPS: init: Ensure bootmem does not corrupt reserved memory

2017-01-03T15:34:45+00:00

Current init code initialises bootmem allocator with all of the low
memory that it assumes is available, but does not check for reserved
memory block, which can lead to corruption of data that may be stored
there.
Move bootmem's allocation map to a location that does not cross any
reserved regions

MIPS: init: Ensure reserved memory regions are not added to bootmem

2017-01-03T15:34:45+00:00

Memories managed through boot_mem_map are generally expected to define
non-crossing areas. However, if part of a larger memory block is marked
as reserved, it would still be added to bootmem allocator as an
available block and could end up being overwritten by the allocator.

Prevent this by explicitly marking the memory as reserved it if exists
in the range used by bootmem allocator.

MIPS: Fix max_low_pfn with disabled highmem

2016-11-04T00:45:22+00:00

When low memory doesn't reach HIGHMEM_START (e.g. up to 256MB at PA=0 is
common) and highmem is present above HIGHMEM_START (e.g. on Malta the
RAM overlayed by the IO region is aliased at PA=0x90000000), max_low_pfn
will be initially calculated very large and then clipped down to
HIGHMEM_START.

This causes crashes when reading /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
(i.e. CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING=y) when highmem is disabled. pfn_valid()
will compare against max_mapnr which is derived from max_low_pfn when
there is no highend_pfn set up, and will return true for PFNs right up
to HIGHMEM_START, even though they are beyond the end of low memory and
no page structs will actually exist for these PFNs.

This is fixed by skipping high memory regions when initially calculating
max_low_pfn if highmem is disabled, so it doesn't get clipped too high.
We also clip regions which overlap the highmem boundary when highmem is
disabled, so that max_pfn doesn't extend into highmem either.
