Subject: [0/3] x86_32: Construct 32 bit boot time page tables in native format.
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:15:18 +0000 [thread overview]

The following patches change x86_32 to use native format for the boot
time page tables. The first two are taken directly from Eric
Biederman's older patch series
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117794868309910&w=2 and
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117794868819193&w=2 while the final
patch is http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117795243926186&w=2
updated for the current tree (much of it was already in, the rest has
been extensively modified).
Changes since v1:
- Grabbed Eric's patches for enabling PAE in head_32.S -- I think
they are cleaner than what I had.
- Use native_* accessors instead of #undef CONFIG_PARAVIRT. This
approach seem cleaner and also allows the code to live in init_32.c
instead of creating a new file.
- Ensure we map enough pages to create a full 4G mapping of
lowmem. This now includes the space for the initial page tables
rather than being in addition too.
- Continue to map extra pages for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and some
extra pages for slack, per the original assembly code.
Cheers,
Ian.
