Example memory map (HP rx7640 with 'default' acpiconfig setting, VGA disabled): 0x00000000 - 0x3FFFBFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access If a user attempts to perform an MMIO mmap (using the PCIIOC_MMAP_IS_MEM ioctl) to PCI config space (like mmap'ing and accessing memory at 0xA0000), we will MCA because the kernel will attempt to use a mapping with the UC attribute. So check the memory attribute in kern_mmap and the EFI memmap. If WC is requested, and WC or UC access is supported for the region, allow it. Otherwise, use the same attribute the kernel uses. Updates documentation and test cases as well. Signed-off-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> |

Linux kernel release 2.4.xx for the IA-64 Platform These are the release notes for Linux version 2.4 for IA-64 platform. This document provides information specific to IA-64 ONLY, to get additional information about the Linux kernel also read the original Linux README provided with the kernel. INSTALLING the kernel: - IA-64 kernel installation is the same as the other platforms, see original README for details. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Compiling and running this kernel requires an IA-64 compliant GCC compiler. And various software packages also compiled with an IA-64 compliant GCC compiler. CONFIGURING the kernel: Configuration is the same, see original README for details. COMPILING the kernel: - Compiling this kernel doesn't differ from other platform so read the original README for details BUT make sure you have an IA-64 compliant GCC compiler. IA-64 SPECIFICS - General issues: o Hardly any performance tuning has been done. Obvious targets include the library routines (IP checksum, etc.). Less obvious targets include making sure we don't flush the TLB needlessly, etc. o SMP locks cleanup/optimization o IA32 support. Currently experimental. It mostly works.
