[PATCH v2 0/3] m68k/mm: switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

These pacthes replace DISCONTIGMEM with SPARSEMEM on m68k for systems with
!SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK set.

With SPARSEMEM there is a single node for the entire physical memory and to
cope with holes in the physical address space it is divided to sections of
up to 16M.

Each section has it's own memory map which size depends on actual populated
memory.

The section size of 16M was chosen pretty much arbitrarily as I couldn't
find specs for systems with e.g. Zorro memory extensions. 

For the systems with ST-RAM and FastRAM, the switch to SPARSEMEM does not
change the limitation that if the kernel is loaded into the FastRam the
ST-RAM remains unmapped. It only ensures that if the kernel is loaded in
ST-RAM, the memory map is allocated from high physical addresses and then
atari/stram.c is able to reserve the frame buffer memory. If the kernel is
loaded to FastRAM, the ST-RAM remains unmapped as with DISCONTIGMEM and the
atari/stram.c maps it as IOMEM.

v2 changes:
* rebase on the current upstream
* make ColdFire MMU select SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK in Kconfig.cpu

Mike Rapoport (3):
  m68k/mm: make node data and node setup depend on CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM
  m68k/mm: enable use of generic memory_model.h for !DISCONTIGMEM
