Hi Geert,
You can't map more than is available.
How about trying for 16, then 8, then 4? Would help my 14 MB ST-RAM Falcon.
I had a patch half prepared for that which I forgot to send ...
And thus I never saw it ;-)
Sorry - I just didn't want to send out assembly code patches I never
attempted to compile. Happy to do that for C code, but that's bad
enough for me.
Andreas, I amended your patch like below, and plan to queue it for 3.16.
Definitely more elegant than my version :-)
Cheers,
Michael
This allows me to boot a multi_defconfig kernel on ARAnyM, with 14 MiB
ST-RAM in the first chunk, which didn't work with your 16 MiB-only version.

Subject: [PATCH] m68k: Increase initial mapping to 8 or 16 MiB if possible
If the size of the first memory chunk is at least 8 or 16 MiB increase the
initial mapping to 8 resp. 16 MiB instead of 4 MiB.
This makes it possible to
1. Map more memory in the first node without running out of space for the
page tables,
2. Boot kernels that don't fit in 4 MiB (e.g. multi_defconfig).
Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab <schwab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Add support for 8 MiB,
- Store initial mapping size in head.S for later reuse,
- Add comment about large kernels.
