[PATCH V2] x86/gart: Check for GART support before accessing GART registers

From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan
Date: Tue Apr 07 2015 - 17:46:02 EST


GART registers are not present in newer processors (Fam15h, Model 10h
and later). So, avoid accesses to GART registers in PCI config
space by returning early in early_gart_iommu_check() and
gart_iommu_hole_init() if GART is not available.

Current code doesn't break on existing processors but there are some
side effects:

We get bogus AGP aperture messages which are simply noise on
GART-less processors:

AGP: Node 0: aperture [bus addr 0x00000000-0x01ffffff] (32MB)
AGP: Your BIOS doesn't leave aperture memory hole
AGP: Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
AGP: This costs you 64MB of RAM
AGP: Mapping aperture over RAM [mem 0xd4000000-0xd7ffffff]

We can avoid calling allocate_aperture() and would not have to
wastefully reserve 64MB of RAM with memblock_reserve(). Also, we can
avoid having to loop through all PCI buses and devices twice, searching
for a non-existent AGP bridge if we bail out early.

Refactoring the family check used in amd_nb.c into an inline function
so we can use it here as well as in amd_nb.c

Fix some typos while at it.
Tested the patch on Fam10h and Fam15h Model 00h-fh and this code
runs fine. On Fam15h Model 60h-6fh and on Fam16h, we bail early
as they don't have GART.

Changes in V2:
- move amd_gart_present() before any other checks as it's least intrusive (per Boris)
- fix typos in code and commit message (per Ingo)
- minor change to subject line (per Boris' change)
- Link to V1:http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=142792069809730&w=2
