Subject: [PATCH v2 00/11] x86: 32-bit cleanups
Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2024 15:49:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241210144945.2325330-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
[sorry for sending a duplicate series, I just noticed I had
dropped lkml from cc when I sent this a few minutes ago]
While looking at 32-bit arm cleanups, I came across some related topics
on x86 and ended up making a series for those as well.
Primarily this is about running 32-bit kernels on 64-bit hardware,
which usually works but should probably be discouraged more clearly by
only providing support for features that are used on real 32-bit hardware:
I found only a few 2003-era high-end servers (HP DL740 and DL760 G2)
that were the only possible remaining uses of HIGHMEM64G and BIGSMP after
the removal of 32-bit NUMA machines in 2014. Similary, there is only
one generation of hardware with support for VT-x. All these features
can be removed without hurting users.
In the CPU selection, building a 32-bit kernel optimized for AMD K8
or Intel Core2 is anachronistic, so instead only 32-bit CPU types need
to be offered as optimization targets. The "generic" target on 64-bit
turned out to be slightly broken, so I included a fix for that as well.
Changes since v1:
- Don't include patch to drop 32-bit KVM support for now
- Drop patch for 64-bit Silverlake support
- Drop 64-bit ISA level selection, only fix default
- Rework MID patch based on comments
- Add a patch to reorganize platform selection
- Add a patch to add -march=native compilation
Arnd Bergmann (11):
x86/Kconfig: Geode CPU has cmpxchg8b
x86: drop 32-bit "bigsmp" machine support
x86: rework CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU compiler flags
x86: drop configuration options for early 64-bit CPUs
x86: add CONFIG_X86_64_NATIVE option
x86: remove HIGHMEM64G support
x86: drop SWIOTLB and PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT for PAE
x86: drop support for CONFIG_HIGHPTE
x86: document X86_INTEL_MID as 64-bit-only
x86: remove old STA2x11 support
x86: Move platforms to Kconfig.platforms
