2009-05-06x86: 46 bit physical address support on 64 bitsRik van Riel
Extend the maximum addressable memory on x86-64 from 2^44 to 2^46 bytes. This requires some shuffling around of the vmalloc and virtual memmap memory areas, to keep them away from the direct mapping of up to 64TB of physical memory. This patch also introduces a guard hole between the vmalloc area and the virtual memory map space. There's really no good reason why we wouldn't have a guard hole there.

2008-12-16x86, mm: limit MAXMEM on 64-bitIngo Molnar
on 64-bit x86 the physical memory limit is controlled by the sparsemem bits - which are 44 bits right now. But MAXMEM (the max pfn number e820 parsing will allow to enter our sizing routines) is set to 0x00003fffffffffff, i.e. 46 bits - that's too large because it overlaps into the vmalloc range. So couple MAXMEM to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, and add a comment that the maximum of MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is 45 bits. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-10-23x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
