2026-05-07x86/boot/e820: Re-enable BIOS fallback if e820 table is emptyDavid Gow
In commit: 157266edcc56 ("x86/boot/e820: Simplify append_e820_table() and remove restriction on single-entry tables") the check on the number of entries in the e820 table was removed. The intention was to support single-entry maps, but by removing the check entirely, we also skip the fallback (to, e.g., the BIOS 88h function). This means that if no E820 map is passed in from the bootloader (which is the case on some bootloaders, like linld), we end up with an empty memory map, and the kernel fails to boot (either by deadlocking on OOM, or by failing to allocate the real mode trampoline, or similar). Re-instate the check in append_e820_table(), but only check that nr_entries is non-zero. This allows e820__memory_setup_default() to fall back to other memory size sources, and doesn't affect e820__memory_setup_extended(), as the latter ignores the return value from append_e820_table(). In doing so, we also update the return values to be proper error codes, with -ENOENT for this case (there are no entries), and -EINVAL for the case where an entry appears invalid. Given none of the callers check the actual value -- just whether it's nonzero -- this is largely aesthetic in practice. Tested against linld, and the kernel boots again fine.

Pull CXL updates from Dave Jiang: - Introduce cxl_memdev_attach and pave way for soft reserved handling, type2 accelerator enabling, and LSA 2.0 enabling. All these series require the endpoint driver to settle before continuing the memdev driver probe. - Address CXL port error protocol handling and reporting. The large patch series was split into three parts. The first two parts are included here with the final part coming later. The first part consists of a series of code refactoring to PCI AER sub-system that addresses CXL and also CXL RAS code to prepare for port error handling. The second part refactors the CXL code to move management of component registers to cxl_port objects to allow all CXL AER errors to be handled through the cxl_port hierarchy. - Provide AMD Zen5 platform address translation for CXL using ACPI PRMT. This includes a conventions document to explain why this is needed and how it's implemented. - Misc CXL patches of fixes, cleanups, and updates. Including CXL address translation for unaligned MOD3 regions.

2026-01-16dax/hmem, e820, resource: Defer Soft Reserved insertion until hmem is readyDan Williams
Insert Soft Reserved memory into a dedicated soft_reserve_resource tree instead of the iomem_resource tree at boot. Delay publishing these ranges into the iomem hierarchy until ownership is resolved and the HMEM path is ready to consume them. Publishing Soft Reserved ranges into iomem too early conflicts with CXL hotplug and prevents region assembly when those ranges overlap CXL windows. Follow up patches will reinsert Soft Reserved ranges into iomem after CXL window publication is complete and HMEM is ready to claim the memory. This provides a cleaner handoff between EFI-defined memory ranges and CXL resource management without trimming or deleting resources later. In the meantime "Soft Reserved" resources will no longer appear in /proc/iomem, only their results. I.e. with "memmap=4G%4G+0xefffffff" Before: 100000000-1ffffffff : Soft Reserved 100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0 100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem) After: 100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0 100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem) The expectation is that this does not lead to a user visible regression because the dax1.0 device is created in both instances.

2025-12-14x86/boot/e820: Make sure e820_search_gap() finds all gapsIngo Molnar
The current implementation of e820_search_gap() searches gaps in a reverse search from MAX_GAP_END back to 0, contrary to what its main comment claims: * Search for a gap in the E820 memory space from 0 to MAX_GAP_END (4GB). But gaps can not only be beyond E820 RAM ranges, they can be below them as well. For example this function will not find the proper PCI gap for simplified memory map layouts that have a single RAM range that crosses the 4GB boundary. Rework the function to have a proper forward search of E820 table entries. This makes the code somewhat bigger: text data bss dec hex filename 7613 44072 0 51685 c9e5 e820.o.before 7645 44072 0 51717 ca05 e820.o.after but it now both implements what it claims to do, and is more straightforward to read. ( This also allows 'idx' to be the regular u32 again, not an 'int' underflowing to -1. ) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: H .

2025-12-14x86/boot/e820: Simplify the e820__range_remove() APIIngo Molnar
Right now e820__range_remove() has two parameters to control the E820 type of the range removed: extern void e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, enum e820_type old_type, bool check_type); Since E820 types start at 1, zero has a natural meaning of 'no type. Consolidate the (old_type,check_type) parameters into a single (filter_type) parameter: extern void e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, enum e820_type filter_type); Note that both e820__mapped_raw_any() and e820__mapped_any() already have such semantics for their 'type' parameter, although it's currently not used with '0' by in-kernel code. Also, the __e820__mapped_all() internal helper already has such semantics implemented as well, and the e820__get_entry_type() API uses the '0' type to such effect. This simplifies not just e820__range_remove(), and synchronizes its use of type filters with other E820 API functions, but simplifies usage sites as well, such as parse_memmap_one(), beyond the reduction of the number of parameters: - else if (from) - e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, from, 1); else - e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, 0, 0); + e820__range_remove(start_at, mem_size, from); The generated code gets smaller as well: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/5 up/down: 0/-66 (-66) Function old new delta parse_memopt 112 107 -5 efi_init 1048 1039 -9 setup_arch 2719 2709 -10 e820__range_remove 283 273 -10 parse_memmap_opt 559 527 -32 Total: Before=22,675,600, After=22,675,534, chg -0.00% Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: H .

2025-12-14x86/boot/e820: Remove e820__range_remove()'s unused return parameterIngo Molnar
None of the usage sites make use of the 'real_removed_size' return parameter of e820__range_remove(), and it's hard to contemplate much constructive use: E820 maps can have holes, and removing a fixed range may result in removal of any number of bytes from 0 to the requested size. So remove this pointless calculation. This simplifies the function a bit: text data bss dec hex filename 7645 44072 0 51717 ca05 e820.o.before 7597 44072 0 51669 c9d5 e820.o.after Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: H .

2025-12-14x86/boot/e820: Simplify append_e820_table() and remove restriction on ↵Ingo Molnar
single-entry tables So append_e820_table() begins with this weird condition that checks 'nr_entries': static int __init append_e820_table(struct boot_e820_entry *entries, u32 nr_entries) { /* Only one memory region (or negative)? Ignore it */ if (nr_entries < 2) return -1; Firstly, 'nr_entries' has been an u32 since 2017 and cannot be negative. Secondly, there's nothing inherently wrong with single-entry E820 maps, especially in virtualized environments. So remove this restriction and remove the __append_e820_table() indirection. Also: - fix/update comments - remove obsolete comments This shrinks the generated code a bit as well: text data bss dec hex filename 7549 44072 0 51621 c9a5 e820.o.before 7533 44072 0 51605 c995 e820.o.after Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Andy Shevchenko <andy@kernel.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@kernel.org> Cc: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk> Cc: H .

2025-12-14x86/boot/e820: Standardize __init/__initdata tag placementIngo Molnar
So the e820.c file has a hodgepodge of __init and __initdata tag placements: static int __init e820_search_gap(unsigned long *max_gap_start, unsigned long *max_gap_size) __init void e820__setup_pci_gap(void) __init void e820__reallocate_tables(void) void __init e820__memory_setup_extended(u64 phys_addr, u32 data_len) void __init e820__register_nosave_regions(unsigned long limit_pfn) static int __init e820__register_nvs_regions(void) u64 __init e820__memblock_alloc_reserved(u64 size, u64 align) Standardize on the style used by e820__setup_pci_gap() and place them before the storage class. In addition to the consistency, as a bonus this makes the grep output rather clean looking: __init void e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, enum e820_type filter_type) __init void e820__update_table_print(void) __init static void e820__update_table_kexec(void) __init static int e820_search_gap(unsigned long *max_gap_start, unsigned long *max_gap_size) __init void e820__setup_pci_gap(void) __init void e820__reallocate_tables(void) __init void e820__memory_setup_extended(u64 phys_addr, u32 data_len) __init void e820__register_nosave_regions(unsigned long limit_pfn) __init static int e820__register_nvs_regions(void) ... and if one learns to just ignore the leftmost '__init' noise then the rest of the line looks just like a regular C function definition. With the 'mixed' tag placement style the __init tag breaks up the function's prototype for no good reason. Do the same for __initdata. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: H .

2025-12-14x86/boot/e820: Change e820_search_gap() to search for the highest-address ↵Ingo Molnar
PCI gap Right now the main x86 function that determines the position and size of the 'PCI gap', e820_search_gap(), has this curious property: while (--idx >= 0) { ... if (gap >= *gap_size) { I.e. it will iterate the E820 table backwards, from its end to the beginning, and will search for larger and larger gaps in the memory map below 4GB, until it finishes with the table. This logic will, should there be two gaps with the same size, pick the one with the lower physical address - which is contrary to usual practice that the PCI gap is just below 4GB. Furthermore, the commit that introduced this weird logic 16 years ago: 3381959da5a0 ("x86: cleanup e820_setup_gap(), add e820_search_gap(), v2") - if (gap > gapsize) { + if (gap >= *gapsize) { didn't even declare this change, the title says it's a cleanup, and the changelog declares it as a preparatory refactoring for a later bugfix: 809d9a8f93bd ("x86/PCI: ACPI based PCI gap calculation") which bugfix was reverted only 1 day later without much of an explanation, and was never reintroduced: 58b6e5538460 ("Revert "x86/PCI: ACPI based PCI gap calculation"") So based on the Git archeology and by the plain reading of the code I declare this '>=' change an unintended bug and side effect. Change it to '>' again. It should not make much of a difference in practice, as the likelihood of having *two* largest gaps with exactly the same size are very low outside of weird user-provided memory maps.

2025-12-14x86/boot/e820: Clean up confusing and self-contradictory verbiage around ↵Ingo Molnar
E820 related resource allocations So the E820 code has a rather confusing area of code at around e820__reserve_resources(), which is, by its plain reading, rather self-contradictory. For example, the comment explaining e820__reserve_resources() claims: - '* Mark E820 reserved areas as busy for the resource manager' By 'E820 reserved areas' one can naively conclude that it's talking about E820_TYPE_RESERVED areas - while those areas are treated in exactly the opposite fashion by do_mark_busy(): switch (type) { case E820_TYPE_RESERVED: case E820_TYPE_SOFT_RESERVED: case E820_TYPE_PRAM: case E820_TYPE_PMEM: return false; Ie. E820_TYPE_RESERVED areas are *not* marked busy for the resource manager, because E820_TYPE_RESERVED areas are device regions that might eventually be claimed by a device driver. This type of confusion permeates this whole area of code, making it exceedingly difficult to read (for me at least). So untangle it bit by bit: - Instead of talking about ambiguous 'reserved areas', talk about 'E820 device address regions' instead, and 'register'/'lock' them. - The do_mark_busy() function is a misnomer as well, because despite its name it 'does' nothing - it only determines what type of resource handling an E820 type should receive from the kernel. Rename it to e820_device_region() and negate its meaning, to avoid the 'busy/reserved' confusion. Because that's what this code is really about: filtering out device regions such as E820_TYPE_RESERVED, E820_TYPE_PRAM, E820_TYPE_PMEM, etc., and allowing them to be claimed by device drivers later on. - All other E820 regions (system regions) are registered and locked early on, before the PCI resource manager does its search for device BAR addresses, etc. Also fix this somewhat misleading comment: /* * Try to bump up RAM regions to reasonable boundaries, to * avoid stolen RAM: */ and explain that here we register artificial 'gap' resources at the end of suspiciously sized RAM regions, as heuristics to try to avoid buggy firmware with undeclared 'stolen RAM' regions: /* * Create additional 'gaps' at the end of RAM regions, * rounding them up to 64k/1MB/64MB boundaries, should * they be weirdly sized, and register extra, locked * resource regions for them, to make sure drivers * won't claim those addresses. * * These are basically blind guesses and heuristics to * avoid resource conflicts with broken firmware that * doesn't properly list 'stolen RAM' as a system region * in the E820 map. */ Also improve the printout of this extra resource a bit: make the message more unambiguous, and upgrade it from pr_debug() (where very few people will see it), to pr_info() (where it will make it into the syslog on default distro configs). Also fix spelling and improve comment placement. No change in functionality intended.

e820__register_nosave_regions() While debugging kexec/hibernation hangs and crashes, it turned out that the current implementation of e820__register_nosave_regions() suffers from multiple serious issues: - The end of last region is tracked by PFN, causing it to find holes that aren't there if two consecutive subpage regions are present - The nosave PFN ranges derived from holes are rounded out (instead of rounded in) which makes it inconsistent with how explicitly reserved regions are handled Fix this by: - Treating reserved regions as if they were holes, to ensure consistent handling (rounding out nosave PFN ranges is more correct as the kernel does not use partial pages) - Tracking the end of the last RAM region by address instead of pages to detect holes more precisely These bugs appear to have been introduced about ~18 years ago with the very first version of e820_mark_nosave_regions(), and its flawed assumptions were carried forward uninterrupted through various waves of rewrites and renames.

2025-02-22x86/kexec: Export e820_table_kexec[] to sysfsDave Young
Previously the e820_table_kexec[] was exported to sysfs since kexec-tools uses the memmap entries to prepare the e820 table for the new kernel. The following commit, ~8 years ago, introduced e820_table_firmware[] and changed the behavior to export the firmware table instead: 12df216c61c8 ("x86/boot/e820: Introduce the bootloader provided e820_table_firmware[] table") Originally the kexec_file_load and kexec_load syscalls both used e820_table_kexec[]. Since the sysfs exported entries are from e820_table_firmware[] people now need to tune both tables for kexec.

2025-02-21x86/e820: Drop obsolete E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN and related codeMike Rapoport (Microsoft)
E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN is a relict from the ancient history that was used to early reserve setup_data, see: 28bb22379513 ("x86: move reserve_setup_data to setup.c") Nowadays setup_data is anyway reserved in memblock and there is no point in carrying E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN that behaves exactly like E820_TYPE_RAM but only complicates the code. A bonus for removing E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN is a small but measurable speedup of 20 microseconds in init_mem_mappings() on a VM with 32GB or RAM.

2025-01-25mm/memblock: add memblock_alloc_or_panic interfaceGuo Weikang
Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically, improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require this behavior.

2024-06-17x86/mm: Make e820__end_ram_pfn() cover E820_TYPE_ACPI rangesKirill A. Shutemov
e820__end_of_ram_pfn() is used to calculate max_pfn which, among other things, guides where direct mapping ends. Any memory above max_pfn is not going to be present in the direct mapping. e820__end_of_ram_pfn() finds the end of the RAM based on the highest E820_TYPE_RAM range. But it doesn't includes E820_TYPE_ACPI ranges into calculation. Despite the name, E820_TYPE_ACPI covers not only ACPI data, but also EFI tables and might be required by kernel to function properly. Usually the problem is hidden because there is some E820_TYPE_RAM memory above E820_TYPE_ACPI. But crashkernel only presents pre-allocated crash memory as E820_TYPE_RAM on boot. If the pre-allocated range is small, it can fit under the last E820_TYPE_ACPI range. Modify e820__end_of_ram_pfn() and e820__end_of_low_ram_pfn() to cover E820_TYPE_ACPI memory. The problem was discovered during debugging kexec for TDX guest. TDX guest uses E820_TYPE_ACPI to store the unaccepted memory bitmap and pass it between the kernels on kexec. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2024-03-22x86/kexec: Do not update E820 kexec table for setup_dataDave Young
crashkernel reservation failed on a Thinkpad t440s laptop recently. Actually the memblock reservation succeeded, but later insert_resource() failed. Test steps: kexec load -> /* make sure add crashkernel param eg. crashkernel=160M */ kexec reboot -> dmesg|grep "crashkernel reserved"; crashkernel memory range like below reserved successfully: 0x00000000d0000000 - 0x00000000da000000 But no such "Crash kernel" region in /proc/iomem The background story: Currently the E820 code reserves setup_data regions for both the current kernel and the kexec kernel, and it inserts them into the resources list. Before the kexec kernel reboots nobody passes the old setup_data, and kexec only passes fresh SETUP_EFI/SETUP_IMA/SETUP_RNG_SEED if needed. Thus the old setup data memory is not used at all. Due to old kernel updates the kexec e820 table as well so kexec kernel sees them as E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN regions, and later the old setup_data regions are inserted into resources list in the kexec kernel by e820__reserve_resources(). Note, due to no setup_data is passed in for those old regions they are not early reserved (by function early_reserve_memory), and the crashkernel memblock reservation will just treat them as usable memory and it could reserve the crashkernel region which overlaps with the old setup_data regions. And just like the bug I noticed here, kdump insert_resource failed because e820__reserve_resources has added the overlapped chunks in /proc/iomem already. Finally, looking at the code, the old setup_data regions are not used at all as no setup_data is passed in by the kexec boot loader. Although something like SETUP_PCI etc could be needed, kexec should pass the info as new setup_data so that kexec kernel can take care of them. This should be taken care of in other separate patches if needed. Thus drop the useless buggy code here.

2024-03-01x86/e820: Don't reserve SETUP_RNG_SEED in e820Jiri Bohac
SETUP_RNG_SEED in setup_data is supplied by kexec and should not be reserved in the e820 map. Doing so reserves 16 bytes of RAM when booting with kexec. (16 bytes because data->len is zeroed by parse_setup_data so only sizeof(setup_data) is reserved.) When kexec is used repeatedly, each boot adds two entries in the kexec-provided e820 map as the 16-byte range splits a larger range of usable memory. Eventually all of the 128 available entries get used up. The next split will result in losing usable memory as the new entries cannot be added to the e820 map.

2022-07-01x86/kexec: Carry forward IMA measurement log on kexecJonathan McDowell
On kexec file load, the Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) subsystem may verify the IMA signature of the kernel and initramfs, and measure it. The command line parameters passed to the kernel in the kexec call may also be measured by IMA. A remote attestation service can verify a TPM quote based on the TPM event log, the IMA measurement list and the TPM PCR data. This can be achieved only if the IMA measurement log is carried over from the current kernel to the next kernel across the kexec call. PowerPC and ARM64 both achieve this using device tree with a "linux,ima-kexec-buffer" node. x86 platforms generally don't make use of device tree, so use the setup_data mechanism to pass the IMA buffer to the new kernel.

The check is intended to detect whether the E820 memory map provided by the firmware after cold boot unexpectedly differs from the one that was in use when the hibernation image was created. In this case, the hibernation image cannot be restored, as it may cover memory regions that are no longer available to the OS.
