Subject: [PATCH] kern/ieee1275/init: ppc64: Restrict high memory in presence
of fadump
This is a backport of the patch with the same name to grub 2.02.
When a kernel dump is present then restrict the high memory regions to
avoid allocating memory where the kernel dump resides. Use the
ibm,kernel-dump node under /rtas to determine whether a kernel dump exists
and up to which limit grub can use available memory. Set the
upper_mem_limit to the size of the kernel dump section of type
'REAL_MODE_REGION' and therefore only allow grub's memory usage for high
addresses from 768MB to 'upper_mem_limit'. This means that grub can
use high memory in the range of 768MB to upper_mem_limit and
the kernel-dump memory regions above 'upper_mem_limit' remain untouched.
This change has no effect on memory allocations below 640MB.
Also, fall back to allocating below 640MB in case the chunk of
memory there would be larger than the chunk of memory above 768MB.
This can for example occur if a free memory area is found starting at 300MB
extending up to 1GB but a kernel dump is located at 768MB and therefore
does not allow the allocation of the high memory area but requiring to use
the chunk starting at 300MB to avoid an unnecessary out-of-memory
condition.
