[PATCH] ppc64: Add mem=X boot command line option

Michael Ellerman michael at ellerman.id.au
Tue Mar 29 18:02:42 EST 2005


Hi Andrew,

This patch adds the mem=X boot command line option for PPC64.

On iSeries the user's mem=X value is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, on
pSeries we align to 16 MB which is the size of a large page.

The iSeries implementation is fairly straight forward, we declare mem=X
as an early_param() and then in iSeries_init_early() we modify the
systemcfg->physicalMemorySize based on that value.

On pSeries the mem=X option is parsed in prom_init.c before the kernel proper
starts, and is used to modify prom_init_mem()'s idea of memory. The mem=X
value and computed tce_alloc_start/end values are saved by prom_init() into
the device tree for later use by the kernel.

The device tree properties are read by the kernel in early_dt_scan_chosen(),
and used to modify the lmb structure in early_init_devtree(). That's the guts
of it.

On non-LPAR machines the tce_alloc_start/end values are read from the device
tree and used in htab_initialize() to make sure the TCE table is mapped at
the real top of RAM.

If NUMA is enabled we also have to make changes in parse_numa_properties()
and do_init_bootmem() to exclude memory regions above the memory limit,
and truncate any region which stradles the limit.

NB. This patch does not facilitate using mem=X to give drivers access to
large regions of contiguous memory.

---

This is almost identical to the patch I posted last week, with one minor
change to make boot messages look the same on iSeries & pSeries, and
a few little white space and comment tweaks.

It has been tested on iSeries, pSeries, pSeries LPAR, G5 and Maple.

Thanks to BenH, Anton, Olof, Stephen, Mike & Maneesh for their help.

cheers!
