From e9b9a04796eade5241452a913ec6f3433437b4f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 17:16:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] s390: memory detection > 32GB The kernel takes a very long time to boot if the memory size is bigger then 32767 MB. The memory size is contained in a structure created by an sclp call. The kernel accesses the field with a LH instrution which performs a sign extension of a 16 bit word. In the case of a memory size with bit 2^15 set this results in a very large value and the memory detection just loops for a long time. In addition if more then 64 GB are used on a 64 bit system the memory size is read from an incorrect storage location. Use zero-extention to read the 16 bit memory size and the correct offset to read the 4 byte memory size on 64 bit.
