x86/Sandy Bridge: mark arrays in init functions as initconst

2014-06-07T23:02:09+00:00

commit 91c90db1aa92a50fa1d7f289502b49ddb46a90d3 upstream.

commit ab3cd8670e0b3fcde7f029e1503ed3c5138e9571 upstream.

Mark static arrays as __initconst so they get removed when the init
sections are flushed.

efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities

2013-02-14T18:48:53+00:00

commit 83e68189745ad931c2afd45d8ee3303929233e7f upstream.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.

The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557

which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,

    if (!efi_enabled)

hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.

Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.

For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).

This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

x86/Sandy Bridge: Sandy Bridge workaround depends on CONFIG_PCI

x86/Sandy Bridge: reserve pages when integrated graphics is present

2013-01-21T19:45:17+00:00

commit a9acc5365dbda29f7be2884efb63771dc24bd815 upstream.

SNB graphics devices have a bug that prevent them from accessing certain
memory ranges, namely anything below 1M and in the pages listed in the
table.  So reserve those at boot if set detect a SNB gfx device on the
CPU to avoid GPU hangs.

Stephane Marchesin had a similar patch to the page allocator awhile
back, but rather than reserving pages up front, it leaked them at
allocation time.

[ hpa: made a number of stylistic changes, marked arrays as static
  const, and made less verbose; use "memblock=debug" for full
  verbosity. ]

x86, mm: Use memblock memory loop instead of e820_RAM

2012-10-31T17:03:19+00:00

commit 1f2ff682ac951ed82cc043cf140d2851084512df upstream.

We need to handle E820_RAM and E820_RESERVED_KERNEL at the same time.

Also memblock has page aligned range for ram, so we could avoid mapping
partial pages.

x86: efi: Turn off efi_enabled after setup on mixed fw/kernel

2012-10-31T17:03:19+00:00

commit 5189c2a7c7769ee9d037d76c1a7b8550ccf3481c upstream.

When 32-bit EFI is used with 64-bit kernel (or vice versa), turn off
efi_enabled once setup is done. Beyond setup, it is normally used to
determine if runtime services are available and we will have none.

This will resolve issues stemming from efivars modprobe panicking on a
32/64-bit setup, as well as some reboot issues on similar setups.

x86: Exclude E820_RESERVED regions and memory holes above 4 GB from direct mapping.

2012-10-28T17:14:13+00:00

commit 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a upstream.

On systems with very large memory (1 TB in our case), BIOS may report a
reserved region or a hole in the E820 map, even above the 4 GB range. Exclude
these from the direct mapping.

[ hpa: this should be done not just for > 4 GB but for everything above the legacy
  region (1 MB), at the very least.  That, however, turns out to require significant
  restructuring.  That work is well underway, but is not suitable for rc/stable. ]

kdump x86: fix total mem size calculation for reservation

2012-03-29T00:14:36+00:00

crashkernel reservation need know the total memory size.  Current
get_total_mem simply use max_pfn - min_low_pfn.  It is wrong because it
will including memory holes in the middle.

Especially for kvm guest with memory > 0xe0000000, there's below in qemu
code: qemu split memory as below:

    if (ram_size >= 0xe0000000 ) {
        above_4g_mem_size = ram_size - 0xe0000000;
        below_4g_mem_size = 0xe0000000;
    } else {
        below_4g_mem_size = ram_size;
    }

So for 4G mem guest, seabios will insert a 512M usable region beyond of
4G.  Thus in above case max_pfn - min_low_pfn will be more than original
memsize.

Fixing this issue by using memblock_phys_mem_size() to get the total
memsize.
