2015-04-14mm: move memtest under mmVladimir Murzin1-118/+0
Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of patterns and validates memory contents, if bad memory regions is detected it reserves them via memblock API. Since memblock API is widely used by other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world. This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and enables memtest feature for arm/arm64. It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform. This patch (of 6): There is nothing platform dependent in the core memtest code, so other platforms might benefit from this feature too.

2014-01-21x86/mm: memblock: switch to use NUMA_NO_NODEGrygorii Strashko1-1/+1
Update X86 code to use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of MAX_NUMNODES while calling memblock APIs, because memblock API will be changed to use NUMA_NO_NODE and will produce warning during boot otherwise.

2013-02-18x86/memtest: Shorten time for testsAlexander Holler1-8/+2
By just reversing the order memtest is using the test patterns, an additional round to zero the memory is not necessary. This might save up to a second or even more for setups which are doing tests on every boot.

2011-07-14memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range() with generic onesTejun Heo1-1/+1
Other than sanity check and debug message, the x86 specific version of memblock reserve/free functions are simple wrappers around the generic versions - memblock_reserve/free(). This patch adds debug messages with caller identification to the generic versions and replaces x86 specific ones and kills them. arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and arch/x86/mm/memblock.c are empty after this change and removed.

2011-07-14x86: Replace memblock_x86_find_in_range_size() with for_each_free_mem_range()Tejun Heo1-18/+13
setup_bios_corruption_check() and memtest do_one_pass() open code memblock free area iteration using memblock_x86_find_in_range_size(). Convert them to use for_each_free_mem_range() instead. This leaves memblock_x86_find_in_range_size() and memblock_x86_check_reserved_size() unused. Kill them.

Using gcc 3.3.5 a "make allmodconfig" + "CONFIG_KVM=n" triggers a build error: arch/x86/mm/built-in.o(.init.text+0x43f7): In function `__change_page_attr': arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:114: undefined reference to `__udivdi3' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 The culprit turned out to be a division in arch/x86/mm/memtest.c For more info see this thread: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124416232620683 The patch entirely removes the division that caused the build error.

2009-02-25x86: memtest: reuse test patterns when memtest parameter exceeds number of ↵Andreas Herrmann1-2/+7
available patterns Impact: fix unexpected behaviour when pattern number is out of range Current implementation provides 4 patterns for memtest. The code doesn't check whether the memtest parameter value exceeds the maximum pattern number. Instead the memtest code pretends to test with non-existing patterns, e.g. when booting with memtest=10 I've observed the following ... early_memtest: pattern num 10 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 0 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 1 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 2 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 3 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 4 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 5 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 6 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 7 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 8 ... 0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 9 ... But in fact Linux didn't test anything for patterns > 4 as the default case in memtest() is to leave the function. I suggest to use the memtest parameter as the number of tests to be performed and to re-iterate over all existing patterns.

2008-10-22x86: memtest fix use of reserve_early()Daniele Calore1-4/+3
Hi all, Wrong usage of 2nd parameter in reserve_early call. 66/75: reserve_early(start_bad, last_bad - start_bad, "BAD RAM"); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The correct way is to use 'end' address and not 'size'.
