      x86: reenable support for system without on node0 · b7ad149d
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      

One system doesn't have RAM for node0 installed.

SRAT: PXM 0 -> APIC 0 -> Node 0
SRAT: PXM 0 -> APIC 1 -> Node 0
SRAT: PXM 1 -> APIC 2 -> Node 1
SRAT: PXM 1 -> APIC 3 -> Node 1
SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 0-a0000
SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 0-dd000000
SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 0-123000000
ACPI: SLIT: nodes = 2

This happens because node 0 is not online, but the node state in
mm/page_alloc.c has node 0 set.

        nodemask_t node_states[NR_NODE_STATES] __read_mostly = {
                [N_POSSIBLE] = NODE_MASK_ALL,
                [N_ONLINE] = { { [0] = 1UL } },

So we need to clear node_online_map before initializing the memory.

      x86: CPA: avoid double checking of alias ranges · f34b439f
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      

When the CPA code is called with an virtual address in the range of
the direct mapping or the high alias then we do not need to run
through the alias check for this range.

      x86: CPA no alias checking for _NX · af96e443

NX settings are not required to be consistent across alias mappings.

      x86: zap invalid and unused pmds in early boot · 31eedd82
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      

The early boot code maps KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (currently 40MB) starting
from __START_KERNEL_map. The kernel itself only needs _text to _end
mapped in the high alias. On relocatible kernels the ASM setup code
adjusts the compile time created high mappings to the relocation. This
creates invalid pmd entries for negative offsets:

0xffffffff80000000 -> pmd entry: ffffffffff2001e3
It points outside of the physical address space and is marked present.

This starts at the virtual address __START_KERNEL_map and goes up to
the point where the first valid physical address (0x0) is mapped.

Zap the mappings before _text and after _end right away in early
boot. This removes also the invalid entries.

Furthermore it simplifies the range check for high aliases.

      x86: CPA, fix alias checks · c31c7d48
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      

c_p_a() did not discover all aliases correctly. (such as when called
on vmalloc()-ed areas or ioremap()-ed areas)

Push the alias checks to the lower, physical level and consistently
discover all aliases that might exist: the low direct mappings and
the high linear kernel-text mappings (on 64-bit).

Thanks to Andi Kleen for pointing out that this was buggy.
