Subject: [PATCH] ieee1275: claim up to 256MB memory
|
|
|
|
If we are verifying large kernels, we need more that 32MB. (Many distro
|
|
kernels are quite large, and debug kernels can be even bigger!)
|
|
|
|
We originally went with 512MB: qemu pseries gives you all the memory a
|
|
32-bit number can handle, so there was lots left over to place a linux image
|
|
and initrd.
|
|
|
|
Here's what we said then:
|
|
| This is possibly not the way we want to go with for upstream as it breaks
|
|
| booting on systems with <= 512MB. We're working on a more upstream-friendly
|
|
| solution and will post it shortly. However, for an end-user or packager with
|
|
| a higher minimum memory requirement, this will work fine.
|
|
|
|
However, we've since discovered that (at least on one P8 test system), PFW
|
|
doesn't expose all of the memory allocated to the LPAR: it looks like it just
|
|
exposes 512MB - at least unless we mess with the CHRP note section.
|
|
Therefore, if we try to claim 512MB in grub, things _do not_ work when we try
|
|
to load linux. As a compromise, and again we'd like a better upstream solution,
|
|
go for 256MB. This is at least enough to verify distro kernels.
