Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix Intel Mac booting with EFI
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2008 22:48:03 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0807022239520.24137@blonde.site> (raw)
Fedora reports that mem_init()'s zap_low_mappings(), extended to SMP in
61165d7a035f6571c7576e7f51e7230157724c8d x86: fix app crashes after SMP resume
causes 32-bit Intel Mac machines to reboot very early when booting with EFI.
The EFI code appears to manage low mappings for itself when needed; but like
many before it, confuses PSE with PAE. So it has only been mapping half the
space it needed when PSE but not PAE. This remained unnoticed until we moved
the SMP zap_low_mappings() before efi_enter_virtual_mode(). Presumably could
have been noticed years ago if anyone ran a UP kernel on such machines?
