From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx> No offence, just rebase and resend the patches from Yinghai to help to push this functionality faster. Also improve the comments in the patches' log. One commit that tried to parse SRAT early get reverted before v3.9-rc1. | commit e8d1955258091e4c92d5a975ebd7fd8a98f5d30f | Author: Tang Chen <tangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Date: Fri Feb 22 16:33:44 2013 -0800 | | acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready It broke several things, like acpi override and fall back path etc. This patchset is clean implementation that will parse numa info early. 1. keep the acpi table initrd override working by split finding with copying. finding is done at head_32.S and head64.c stage, in head_32.S, initrd is accessed in 32bit flat mode with phys addr. in head64.c, initrd is accessed via kernel low mapping address with help of #PF set page table. copying is done with early_ioremap just after memblock is setup. 2. keep fallback path working. numaq and ACPI and amd_nmua and dummy. seperate initmem_init to two stages. early_initmem_init will only extract numa info early into numa_meminfo. initmem_init will keep slit and emulation handling. 3. keep other old code flow untouched like relocate_initrd and initmem_init. early_initmem_init will take old init_mem_mapping position. it call early_x86_numa_init and init_mem_mapping for every nodes. For 64bit, we avoid having size limit on initrd, as relocate_initrd is still after init_mem_mapping for all memory. 4. last patch will try to put page table on local node, so that memory hotplug will be happy. In short, early_initmem_init will parse numa info early and call init_mem_mapping to set page table for every nodes's mem. could be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git for-x86-mm and it is based on today's Linus tree. -v2: Address tj's review and split patches to small ones. -v3: Add some Acked-by from tj, also stop abusing cpio_data for acpi_files info -v4: fix one typo found by Tang Chen. Also added tested-by from Thomas Renninger and Tony. -v5: Rebase to Linux-3.10.0-rc5 (patch 5 and 21 has been rebased) Improve comments in patches' log. Improve comment in init_mem_mapping() in patch21.
