Subject: [patch 01/16] x86: work around MTRR mask setting
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2008 10:32:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080903173240.GB10429@suse.de> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: x86-work-around-mtrr-mask-setting.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2700 bytes --]
2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com>
commit 38cc1c3df77c1bb739a4766788eb9fa49f16ffdf upstream
Joshua Hoblitt reported that only 3 GB of his 16 GB of RAM is
usable. Booting with mtrr_show showed us the BIOS-initialized
MTRR settings - which are all wrong.
So the root cause is that the BIOS has not set the mask correctly:
> [ 0.429971] MSR00000200: 00000000d0000000
> [ 0.433305] MSR00000201: 0000000ff0000800
> should be ==> [ 0.433305] MSR00000201: 0000003ff0000800

So detect this borkage and add the prefix 111.
