Subject: [RFC][PATCH] x86: nit: wrong page size in init_memory_mapping() printks
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>
With 32-bit non-PAE kernels, we have 2 page sizes available
(at most): 4k and 4M.
Enabling PAE replaces that 4M size with a 2M one (which 64-bit
systems use too).
But, when booting a 32-bit non-PAE kernel, in one of our
early-boot printouts, we say:
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff]
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] page 4k
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x37000000-0x373fffff]
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x37000000-0x373fffff] page 2M
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x00100000-0x36ffffff]
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x00100000-0x003fffff] page 4k
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x00400000-0x36ffffff] page 2M
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x37400000-0x377fdfff]
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x37400000-0x377fdfff] page 4k
Which is obviously wrong. There is no 2M page available. This
is probably because of a badly-named variable: in the map_range
code: PG_LEVEL_2M.
Instead of renaming all the PG_LEVEL_2M's. This patch just
fixes the printout:
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff]
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] page 4k
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x37000000-0x373fffff]
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x37000000-0x373fffff] page 4M
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x00100000-0x36ffffff]
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x00100000-0x003fffff] page 4k
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x00400000-0x36ffffff] page 4M
[ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x37400000-0x377fdfff]
[ 0.000000] [mem 0x37400000-0x377fdfff] page 4k
[ 0.000000] BRK [0x03206000, 0x03206fff] PGTABLE
