From 2944e16b25e7fb8b5ee0dd9dc7197a0f9e523cfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yinghai Lu Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2008 13:17:38 -0700 Subject: x86: update mptable make mptable to be consistent with acpi routing, so we could: 1. kexec kernel with acpi=off 2. work around BIOSes where acpi routing is working, but mptable is not right, so can use kernel/kexec to start other OSes that don't have good acpi support. command line: update_mptable Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/kernel/e820.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel/e820.c') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/e820.c b/arch/x86/kernel/e820.c index 0cd9132..cd2b99e 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/e820.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/e820.c @@ -739,3 +739,28 @@ u64 __init find_e820_area_size(u64 start, u64 *sizep, u64 align) return -1UL; } + +/* + * pre allocated 4k and reserved it in e820 + */ +u64 __init early_reserve_e820(u64 startt, u64 sizet, u64 align) +{ + u64 size = 0; + u64 addr; + u64 start; + + start = startt; + while (size < sizet) + start = find_e820_area_size(start, &size, align); + + if (size < sizet) + return 0; + + addr = round_down(start + size - sizet, align); + update_memory_range(addr, sizet, E820_RAM, E820_RESERVED); + printk(KERN_INFO "update e820 for early_reserve_e820\n"); + update_e820(); + + return addr; +} + -- cgit v1.1
