Subject: [PATCH 8/8] x86/mrst: Add nop functions to x86_init mpparse functions
Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 10:41:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273254108-3234-9-git-send-email-jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1273254108-3234-1-git-send-email-jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com>
Moorestown does not have BIOS provided MP tables, we can save some time
by avoiding scaning of these tables. e.g.
[ 0.000000] Scan SMP from c0000000 for 1024 bytes.
[ 0.000000] Scan SMP from c009fc00 for 1024 bytes.
[ 0.000000] Scan SMP from c00f0000 for 65536 bytes.
[ 0.000000] Scan SMP from c00bfff0 for 1024 bytes.
Searching EBDA with the base at 0x40E will also result in random pointer
deferencing within 1MB. This can be a problem in Lincroft if the pointer
hits VGA area and VGA mode is not enabled.
