[PATCH] x86: put initial_pg_tables into .bss -v4 Impact: cleanup Don't use ram after _end blindly for pagetables. aka init pages is before _end put those pg table into .bss v2: keep initial page table up to 512M only. v4: put initial page tables just before _end Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu --- arch/x86/include/asm/page_32_types.h | 5 +++ arch/x86/kernel/head32.c | 3 + arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S | 55 ++++++++++++++--------------------- arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_32.lds.S | 11 ++++++- 4 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) Index: linux-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/head32.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/arch/x86/kernel/head32.c +++ linux-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/head32.c @@ -18,7 +18,8 @@ void __init i386_start_kernel(void) { reserve_trampoline_memory(); - reserve_early(__pa_symbol(&_text), __pa_symbol(&_end), "TEXT DATA BSS"); + reserve_early(__pa_symbol(&_text), __pa_symbol(&__bss_stop), + "TEXT DATA BSS"); #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD /* Reserve INITRD */ Index: linux-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S +++ linux-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S @@ -38,42 +38,30 @@ #define X86_VENDOR_ID new_cpu_data+CPUINFO_x86_vendor_id /* - * This is how much memory *in addition to the memory covered up to - * and including _end* we need mapped initially. - * We need: - * - one bit for each possible page, but only in low memory, which means - * 2^32/4096/8 = 128K worst case (4G/4G split.) + * This is how much memory for page table to and including _end + * we need mapped initially. * - enough space to map all low memory, which means - * (2^32/4096) / 1024 pages (worst case, non PAE) - * (2^32/4096) / 512 + 4 pages (worst case for PAE) - * - a few pages for allocator use before the kernel pagetable has - * been set up + * (KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE/4096) / 1024 pages (worst case, non PAE) + * (KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE/4096) / 512 + 4 pages (worst case for PAE) * * Modulo rounding, each megabyte assigned here requires a kilobyte of * memory, which is currently unreclaimed. * * This should be a multiple of a page. + * + * KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE should be greater than pa(_end) + * and small than max_low_pfn, otherwise will waste some page table entries */ -LOW_PAGES = 1<<(32-PAGE_SHIFT_asm) - -/* - * To preserve the DMA pool in PAGEALLOC kernels, we'll allocate - * pagetables from above the 16MB DMA limit, so we'll have to set - * up pagetables 16MB more (worst-case): - */ -#if defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) || defined(CONFIG_KMEMCHECK) -LOW_PAGES = LOW_PAGES + 0x1000000 -#endif +LOW_PAGES = (KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE_asm - 1)>>PAGE_SHIFT #if PTRS_PER_PMD > 1 PAGE_TABLE_SIZE = (LOW_PAGES / PTRS_PER_PMD) + PTRS_PER_PGD #else PAGE_TABLE_SIZE = (LOW_PAGES / PTRS_PER_PGD) #endif -BOOTBITMAP_SIZE = LOW_PAGES / 8 ALLOCATOR_SLOP = 4 -INIT_MAP_BEYOND_END = BOOTBITMAP_SIZE + (PAGE_TABLE_SIZE + ALLOCATOR_SLOP)*PAGE_SIZE_asm +INIT_MAP_SIZE = (PAGE_TABLE_SIZE + ALLOCATOR_SLOP) * PAGE_SIZE_asm /* * 32-bit kernel entrypoint; only used by the boot CPU.
