Public bug reported:
[Impact]
On virtual systems under Xen, the kernel does not correctly calculate
the total amount of memory. This results in the system having slightly
less memory available for use than the actual amount provided by Xen.
[Test Case]
Load a virtual Xen guest with the latest precise (3.2) kernel, and
notice that its total memory is less than what is allocated in the Xen
configuration. Also possible is to load a virtual Xen guest, with the
exact same Xen guest config/parameters, with the latest trusty (3.13)
kernel; on trusty and later, the total amount of memory is correctly
detected.
[Regression Potential]
None known.
** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Fix Released
