x86/mm: Fix boot crash with DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC=y and more than 512G RAM
Dave Hansen reported that systems between 500G and 600G RAM crash early if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is selected. > [ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] > [ 0.000000] [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] page 4k > [ 0.000000] BRK [0x02086000, 0x02086fff] PGTABLE > [ 0.000000] BRK [0x02087000, 0x02087fff] PGTABLE > [ 0.000000] BRK [0x02088000, 0x02088fff] PGTABLE > [ 0.000000] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0xe80ee00000-0xe80effffff] > [ 0.000000] [mem 0xe80ee00000-0xe80effffff] page 4k > [ 0.000000] BRK [0x02089000, 0x02089fff] PGTABLE > [ 0.000000] BRK [0x0208a000, 0x0208afff] PGTABLE > [ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: alloc_low_page: ran out of memory It turns out that we missed increasing needed pages in BRK to mapping initial 2M and [0,1M) when we switched to use the #PF handler to set memory mappings: > commit 8170e6bed465b4b0c7687f93e9948aca4358a33b > Author: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> > Date: Thu Jan 24 12:19:52 2013 -0800 > > x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demand Before that, we had the maping from [0,512M) in head_64.S, and we can spare two pages [0-1M). After that change, we can not reuse pages anymore. When we have more than 512M ram, we need an extra page for pgd page with [512G, 1024g). Increase pages in BRK for page table to solve the boot crash.
