Before completing a 'write' the md superblock might need to be updated.
This is best done by the md_thread.
The current code schedules this up and queues the write request for later
handling by the md_thread.
However some personalities (Raid5/raid6) will deadlock if the md_thread
tries to submit requests to its own array.
So this patch changes things so the processes submitting the request waits
for the superblock to be written and then submits the request itself.
This fixes a recently-created deadlock in raid5/raid6

With this patch, the intent to write to some block in the array can be logged
to a bitmap file. Each bit represents some number of sectors and is set
before any update happens, and only cleared when all writes relating to all
sectors are complete.
After an unclean shutdown, information in this bitmap can be used to optimise
resync - only sectors which could be out-of-sync need to be updated.
Also if a drive is removed and then added back into an array, the recovery can
make use of the bitmap to optimise reconstruction. This is not implemented in
this patch.
Currently the bitmap is stored in a file which must (obviously) be stored on a
separate device.
The patch only provided infrastructure. It does not update any personalities
to bitmap intent logging.
Md arrays can still be used with no bitmap file. This patch has minimal
impact on such arrays.

1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced)
from 'int' to 'sector_t'.
The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit
in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return
the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large.
Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use
0 instead
2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report
that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account
in the speed calculations.
Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync
that is coming will use this.

generic_make_request (to write the first dirty block), which could cause

With this patch, the superblock write is always done by the helper thread, and

Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific
free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done.
This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the
last "action" for that irq is removed.
Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always,
shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the
release of that fd. For instance, for each open console a new instance
(i.e. new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested().
Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a
host thread and passed to poll(). Each event registered by poll() triggers
an interrupt. So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding
host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method.
In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of
it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the
said procedure.
Also some cosmetic improvements are included.
This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't
get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need
for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was
felt as undesirable).

Several hardware features of SGI's IOC4 I/O controller chip require
timing-related driver calculations dependent upon the PCI bus speed. This

store a value that can later be used by the IOC4 subdrivers as needed.

This series of patches reworks the configuration and internal structure
of the SGI IOC4 I/O controller device drivers.
These changes are motivated by several factors:
- The IOC4 chip PCI resources are of mixed use between functions (i.e.
multiple functions are handled in the same address range, sometimes
within the same register), muddling resource ownership and initialization
issues. Centralizing this ownership in a core driver is desirable.
- The IOC4 chip implements multiple functions (serial, IDE, others not
yet implemented in the mainline kernel) but is not a multifunction
PCI device. In order to properly handle device addition and removal
as well as module insertion and deletion, an intermediary IOC4-specific
driver layer is needed to handle these operations cleanly.
- All IOC4 drivers are currently enabled by a single CONFIG value. As
not all systems need all IOC4 functions, it is desireable to enable
these drivers independently.
- The current IOC4 core driver will trigger loading of all function-level
drivers, as it makes direct calls to them. This situation should be
reversed (i.e. function-level drivers cause loading of core driver)
in order to maintain a clear and least-surprise driver loading model.
- IOC4 hardware design necessitates some driver-level dependency on
the PCI bus clock speed. Current code assumes a 66MHz bus, but the
speed should be autodetected and appropriate compensation taken.
This patch series effects the above changes by a newly and better designed
IOC4 core driver with which the function-level drivers can register and
deregister themselves upon module insertion/removal. By tracking these
modules, device addition/removal is also handled properly. PCI resource
management and ownership issues are centralized in this core driver, and
IOC4-wide configuration actions such as bus speed detection are also
handled in this core driver.
This patch:
The SGI IOC4 I/O controller chip implements multiple functions, though it is
not a multi-function PCI device. Additionally, various PCI resources of the
IOC4 are shared by multiple hardware functions, and thus resource ownership by
driver is not clearly delineated. Due to the current driver design, all core
and subordinate drivers must be loaded, or none, which is undesirable if not
all IOC4 hardware features are being used.
This patch reorganizes the IOC4 drivers so that the core driver provides a
subdriver registration service. Through appropriate callbacks the subdrivers
can now handle device addition and removal, as well as module insertion and
deletion (though the IOC4 IDE driver requires further work before module
deletion will work). The core driver now takes care of allocating PCI
resources and data which must be shared between subdrivers, to clearly
delineate module ownership of these items.

This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic
allocator (genalloc). The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2
mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split
off from the driver.
The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory
etc. The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2
driver.
Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory. The SGI SN architecture requires
it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA
cluster. The specific user for this is the XPC code. Another application is
large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can
be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN
hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose. Performance
of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial. This
is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch.
Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up
with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device
drivers and other subsystems as they please. For instance to handle onboard
device memory. It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which
is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2
right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently).
On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie. it isn't safe to
access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory
accessed in cached mode. The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory
in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc. The
uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages
and sticks them into the uncached pool. Only after these chunks have been
utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory.
Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.

The pageset array can potentially acquire a huge amount of memory on large
NUMA systems. F.e. on a system with 512 processors and 256 nodes there
will be 256*512 pagesets. If each pageset only holds 5 pages then we are
talking about 655360 pages.With a 16K page size on IA64 this results in
potentially 10 Gigabytes of memory being trapped in pagesets. The typical
cases are much less for smaller systems but there is still the potential of
memory being trapped in off node pagesets. Off node memory may be rarely
used if local memory is available and so we may potentially have memory in
seldom used pagesets without this patch.
The slab allocator flushes its per cpu caches every 2 seconds. The
following patch flushes the off node pageset caches in the same way by
tying into the slab flush.
The patch also changes /proc/zoneinfo to include the number of pages
currently in each pageset.

Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.
The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.
The problem is twofold:
1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always
searched from the base address on.
So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
large and available for larger requests.
2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of
1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.
The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.
The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.
Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.
Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.
Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets. So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself. Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.
So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone. This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.
We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.

order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim. The goal of this
patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back
onto another zone.
One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator
behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be
off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone.
This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a
per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall.
Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch
4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j"
kernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on
average, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench
runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run:
wall user sys %cpu ctx sw. sleeps

w/patch & reclaim 1079 1385 926 252 291625 548873
These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right
after system boot. Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so
these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim
the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time.
I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the
reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away.
Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages
takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.
The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.
Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.
In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
- smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
- raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.
There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
- debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
smp_processor_id().
Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.
I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
{SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

Based on the discussion about spufs attributes, this is my suggestion
for a more generic attribute file support that can be used by both
debugfs and spufs.
Simple attribute files behave similarly to sequential files from
a kernel programmers perspective in that a standard set of file
operations is provided and only an open operation needs to
be written that registers file specific get() and set() functions.
These operations are defined as
void foo_set(void *data, u64 val); and
u64 foo_get(void *data);
where data is the inode->u.generic_ip pointer of the file and the
operations just need to make send of that pointer. The infrastructure
makes sure this works correctly with concurrent access and partial
read calls.
A macro named DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE is provided to further simplify
using the attributes.
This patch already contains the changes for debugfs to use attributes
for its internal file operations.

diff -puN drivers/base/node.c~numa_hp_base drivers/base/node.c
There's no check to see if the device is already bound to a driver, which
could do bad things. The first thing to go wrong is that it will try to match
a driver with a device already bound to one. In some cases (it appears with
USB with drivers/usb/core/usb.c::usb_match_id()), some drivers will match a
device based on the class type, so it would be common (especially for HID
devices) to match a device that is already bound.
The fun comes when ->probe() is called, it fails, then
driver_probe_device() does this:
dev->driver = NULL;
Later on, that pointer could be be dereferenced without checking and cause
hell to break loose.
This problem could be nasty. It's very hardware dependent, since some
devices could have a different set of matching qualifiers than others.
Now, I don't quite see exactly where/how you were getting that crash.
You're dereferencing bad memory, but I'm not sure which pointer was bad
and where it came from, but it could have come from a couple of different
places.
The patch below will hopefully fix it all up for you. It's against
2.6.12-rc2-mm1, and does the following:
- Move logic to driver_probe_device() and comments uncommon returns:
1 - If device is bound
0 - If device not bound, and no error
error - If there was an error.
- Move locking to caller of that function, since we want to lock a
device for the entire time we're trying to bind it to a driver (to
prevent against a driver being loaded at the same time).
- Update __device_attach() and __driver_attach() to do that locking.
- Check if device is already bound in __driver_attach()
- Update the converse device_release_driver() so it locks the device
around all of the operations.
- Mark driver_probe_device() as static and remove export. It's an
internal function, it should stay that way, and there are no other
callers. If there is ever a need to export it, we can audit it as
necessary.

This klist interface provides a couple of structures that wrap around
struct list_head to provide explicit list "head" (struct klist) and
list "node" (struct klist_node) objects. For struct klist, a spinlock
is included that protects access to the actual list itself. struct
klist_node provides a pointer to the klist that owns it and a kref
reference count that indicates the number of current users of that node
in the list.
The entire point is to provide an interface for iterating over a list
that is safe and allows for modification of the list during the
iteration (e.g. insertion and removal), including modification of the
current node on the list.
It works using a 3rd object type - struct klist_iter - that is declared
and initialized before an iteration. klist_next() is used to acquire the
next element in the list. It returns NULL if there are no more items.

There are primitives for adding and removing nodes to/from a klist.
When deleting, klist_del() will simply decrement the reference count.
Only when the count goes to 0 is the node removed from the list.
klist_remove() will try to delete the node from the list and block

This is primarily useful to work around ICMP blackholes.
In future this flag could also allow a larger MTU to be set within the

smaller fragments inside the tunnel.

To retrieve the neighbour tables send RTM_GETNEIGHTBL with the
NLM_F_DUMP flag set. Every neighbour table configuration is
spread over multiple messages to avoid running into message
size limits on systems with many interfaces. The first message
in the sequence transports all not device specific data such as
statistics, configuration, and the default parameter set.
This message is followed by 0..n messages carrying device
specific parameter sets.
Although the ordering should be sufficient, NDTA_NAME can be
used to identify sequences. The initial message can be identified
by checking for NDTA_CONFIG. The device specific messages do
not contain this TLV but have NDTPA_IFINDEX set to the
corresponding interface index.
To change neighbour table attributes, send RTM_SETNEIGHTBL
with NDTA_NAME set. Changeable attribute include NDTA_THRESH[1-3],
NDTA_GC_INTERVAL, and all TLVs in NDTA_PARMS unless marked
otherwise. Device specific parameter sets can be changed by
setting NDTPA_IFINDEX to the interface index of the corresponding
device.

Kept this first changeset minimal, without changing existing names to
ease peer review.
Basicaly tcp_openreq_alloc now receives the or_calltable, that in turn
has two new members:
->slab, that replaces tcp_openreq_cachep
->obj_size, to inform the size of the openreq descendant for
a specific protocol
The protocol specific fields in struct open_request were moved to a
class hierarchy, with the things that are common to all connection
oriented PF_INET protocols in struct inet_request_sock, the TCP ones
in tcp_request_sock, that is an inet_request_sock, that is an
open_request.
I.e. this uses the same approach used for the struct sock class
hierarchy, with sk_prot indicating if the protocol wants to use the
open_request infrastructure by filling in sk_prot->rsk_prot with an
or_calltable.
Results? Performance is improved and TCP v4 now uses only 64 bytes per
open request minisock, down from 96 without this patch :-)

The new behaviour (when the sysctl variable is toggled on), it will send

caused the icmp error. This is the behaviour network administrators will

and gameport_set_phys functions to gameport.h for the case when a driver
can't use gameport.
This fixes the compilation of some OSS drivers with GAMEPORT=n without
the need to #if inside every single driver.
This patch also removes the non-working and now obsolete SOUND_GAMEPORT.
This patch is also an alternative solution for ALSA drivers with similar
problems (but #if's inside the drivers might have the advantage of
saving some more bytes of gameport is not available).
The only user-visible change is that for GAMEPORT=m the affected OSS
drivers are now allowed to be built statically (but they won't have
gameport support).

Jens Axboe pointed out that the iounmap() call in libata was occurring
too early, and some drivers (ahci, probably others) were using ioremap'd
memory after it had been unmapped.
The patch should address that problem by way of improving the libata
driver API:
* move ->host_stop() call after all ->port_stop() calls have occurred.
* create default helper function ata_host_stop(), and move iounmap()
call there.
* add ->host_stop_prewalk() hook, use it in sata_qstor.c (hi Mark).
sata_qstor appears to require the host-stop-before-port-stop ordering
that existed prior to applying the attached patch.
A new driver bnx2 for Broadcom bcm5706 is available.
The patch also includes new 1000BASE-X advertisement bit definitions in
mii.h

In _spin_unlock_bh(lock):
do { \
_raw_spin_unlock(lock); \
preempt_enable(); \
local_bh_enable(); \
__release(lock); \
} while (0)
there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple
preempt_enable_no_resched()
Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always
return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is
useless here...
This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the
"preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched()
just before re-enabling bottom halves.

The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:
- Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
- Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
- Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
- Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
- Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.
This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

This is version 18 of the Wireless Extensions. The main change
is that it adds all the necessary APIs for WPA and WPA2 support. This
work was entirely done by Jouni Malinen, so let's thank him for both
his hard work and deep expertise on the subject ;-)
This APIs obviously doesn't do much by itself and works in
concert with driver support (Jouni already sent you the HostAP
changes) and userspace (Jouni is updating wpa_supplicant). This is
also orthogonal with the ongoing work on in-kernel IEEE support (but
potentially useful).
The patch is attached, tested with 2.6.11. Normally, I would
ask you to push that directly in the kernel (99% of the patch has been
on my web page for ages and it does not affect non-WPA stuff), but
Jouni convinced me that it should bake a few weeks in wireless-2.6
first, so that other driver maintainers can get up to speed with it.

shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the
shutdown.
It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a
manageable risk.
The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information.
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks
like this:
type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650

This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.
This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.
Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and

No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our

sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at

This patch adds a new function valid_signal() that tests if its argument is

- some code currently testing _NSIG directly has off-by-one errors.
Using this function instead avoids such errors.
- some code currently tests unsigned signal numbers for <0 which is
pointless and generates warnings when building with gcc -W. Using this
function instead avoids such warnings.
I considered various places to add this function but eventually settled on

The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.
Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too. So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.

Arrange for all kernel printks to be no-ops. Only available if
CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
This patch saves about 375k on my laptop config and nearly 100k on minimal
configs.

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt
priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by
Chris Wright.
The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities
a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by
default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of
100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is
blanket permission.
(akpm: see http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/1921.html for
tips on integrating this with PAM).

GCC 2.95 uses __va_copy instead of va_copy. Handle it inside compiler.h
instead of in a casual file, and avoid the risk that this breaks with a newer
compiler (which it could do).

The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.
The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
on bootloader-setup code interface.
Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.
Tested on:
* grub booting bzImage
* lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
* pxeboot of bzImage
Side-effect:
bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.
