Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] sparc32: replace sp_banks with memblock
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 23:45:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901214611.60560-1-linmag7@gmail.com> (raw)

Replace the sparc32-private sp_banks memory description with memblock.

The first two patches convert the SRMMU consumers that already run after
bootmem_init() has populated memblock. The third patch moves memblock
population to prom_meminit() and applies the mem= limit there. Patch 4
removes an unused address bitmap before patch 5 moves the early memory
setup into setup_32.c. Patch 6 removes the now-unused sp_banks array.

This work is based on an earlier eight-patch series by Sam Ravnborg.
Patch 2 directly carries over Sam's memblock sizing conversion. The series
has otherwise been substantially reorganized and reworked for the current
kernel. It retains the sparc32 mem= command-line option by using
memblock_enforce_memory_limit() and uses memblock's exclusive range-end
semantics throughout.

The series applies on top of the sparc32 phys_base and Viking fixes.
setup_memory() preserves relocated-kernel handling by removing RAM below
the physical address to which PAGE_OFFSET maps.

The v1 series was boot tested on a Sun SPARCstation 20 with dual
SuperSPARC-II CPUs (SM71).
The v2 series was boot tested on a Sun SPARCstation 20 with dual
ROSS HyperSPARC (RT626) CPUs.
The v3 series was cross-compiled with the SPARCstation 20 and LEON
configurations as well as boot tested on a Sun SPARCstation 20
with dual ROSS HyperSPARC (RT626) CPUs.

Changes in v3:
- Add Sam's Reviewed-by tag to patch 4.
- Initialize max_pfn in patch 5 and use it as the highmem zone limit.
- Use PHYS_PFN() instead of open-coded PAGE_SHIFT conversions in patch 5.
- Remove the obsolete highstart_pfn and highend_pfn declarations.
- Use the generic max_low_pfn declaration from linux/memblock.h.
- Document removal of the duplicate private HIGHMEM summary.

Changes in v2:
- Add Sam's Reviewed-by tags to patches 1-3 and 6. Patch 6 is the
  unchanged source change from patch 5 in v1, renumbered by the new patch.
- Drop the unused sparc_valid_addr_bitmap in a preparation patch.
- Use for_each_mem_pfn_range() and the standard max_low_pfn variable in
  the early memory setup. This tightens LEON's _pfn_valid() upper bound
  from all memory to the lowmem limit, with no functional change because
  LEON does not use highmem.
