Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix system die when load with "reservetop" parameter
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 20:23:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A8D402F.4080805@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

The system will die if the kernel is booted with "reservetop" parameter,
in present code, parse "reservetop" parameter after early_ioremap_init(),
and some function still use early_ioremap() after it.

The problem is, "reservetop" parameter can modify 'FIXADDR_TOP', then the
virtual address got by early_ioremap() is base on old 'FIXADDR_TOP', but
the page mapping is base on new 'FIXADDR_TOP', it will occur page fault,
and the IDT is not prepare yet, so, the system is dead.

So, put parse_early_param() in the front of early_ioremap_init() in this
patch.
