* x86: relax restrictions on setting CONFIG_NUMA on x86, #2Mel Gorman2008-01-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The FLATMEM memory model references a global mem_map and max_mapnr. This is incompatible with how memory models used for NUMA view the world. Builds fail if FLATMEM && NUMA are set on x86. This patch forbids that combination of config items. This is consistent with x86_64 enforcements.

* x86: make NUMA work on 32-bitMel Gorman2008-01-301-15/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The DISCONTIG memory model on x86 32 bit uses a remap allocator early in boot. The objective is that portions of every node are mapped in to the kernel virtual area (KVA) in place of ZONE_NORMAL so that node-local allocations can be made for pgdat and mem_map structures. With SPARSEMEM, the amount that is set aside is insufficient for all the mem_maps to be allocated. During the boot process, it falls back to using the bootmem allocator. This breaks assumptions that SPARSEMEM makes about the layout of the mem_map in memory and results in a VM_BUG_ON triggering due to pfn_to_page() returning garbage values. This patch only enables the remap allocator for use with DISCONTIG. Without SRAT support, a compile-error occurs because ACPI table parsing functions are only available in x86-64. This patch also adds no-op stubs and prints a warning message. What likely needs to be done is sharing the table parsing functions between 32 and 64 bit if they are compatible.

* x86, 32-bit: trim memory not covered by wb mtrrsJesse Barnes2008-01-308-39/+140
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).
