Re: [PATCH v1 2/3] x86: Remap GDT tables in the Fixmap section

2017-01-25 Thread Thomas Garnier
The kbuild bot found interesting build errors with the new
BUILD_BUG_ON on 32bit (64G mem support). I think I went a bit too far
with them given the ioremap part is just temporary on early boot.

I removed them and tested different configurations trying to use as
much fixmap as possible (DEBUG_HIGHMEM, 64G/PAE support and more).
Everything looks good and we can still support 512 processors.

Next iteration, I will remove the BUILD_BUG_ON that I added and remove
restriction to 256 back to 512. On top of all changes suggested by
Andy on the patch set.

IMO this should be split into two functions, one to set up the fixmap
entry and one to load the GDT.

Also, would it be possible to rename the various gdt helpers so that
their functionality is more obvious?  For example, get_cpu_gdt_table()
could be get_cpu_direct_gdt_table() and the function to load the gdt
could be load_fixmap_gdt().

IMO this should be split into two functions, one to set up the fixmap
entry and one to load the GDT.

Also, would it be possible to rename the various gdt helpers so that
their functionality is more obvious?  For example, get_cpu_gdt_table()
could be get_cpu_direct_gdt_table() and the function to load the gdt
could be load_fixmap_gdt().
