--- Comment #3 from Dimitry Andric <d...@freebsd.org> --- What seems to be happening is that in vm_phys_early_startup() it goes through vm_phys_early_segs, which look like: vm_phys_early_nsegs=2 vm_phys_early_segs[0]={start= 800000, end=2500000, domain=0} vm_phys_early_segs[1]={start=2400000, end=24f0000, domain=0} So indeed, there is already an overlap, from whatever filled vm_phys_early_segs. With some help from EARLY_PRINTF I was able to get the following early boot messages: DBG /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/machdep.c(916) getmemsize: calling vm_phys_early_add_seg(start=800000, end=2500000) DBG /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_phys.c(1927) vm_phys_early_add_seg: enter, start=800000, end=2500000 DBG /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_phys.c(1936) vm_phys_early_add_seg: leave, vm_phys_early_nsegs=1 SMAP type=01 base=0000000000000000 len=000000000009fc00 SMAP type=02 base=000000000009fc00 len=0000000000000400 SMAP type=02 base=00000000000e0000 len=0000000000020000 SMAP type=01 base=0000000000100000 len=00000000f7ef0000 SMAP type=03 base=00000000f7ff0000 len=000000000000f000 SMAP type=04 base=00000000f7fff000 len=0000000000001000 SMAP type=01 base=0000000100000000 len=0000000108000000 DBG /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/pmap.c(624) pmap_pae_bootstrap: calling vm_phys_early_add_seg(start=2400000, end=24f0000) DBG /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_phys.c(1927) vm_phys_early_add_seg: enter, start=2400000, end=24f0000 DBG /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_phys.c(1936) vm_phys_early_add_seg: leave, vm_phys_early_nsegs=2 So you can see that the segment [0x800000, 0x2500000) is inserted from getmemsize(), but the overlapping segment [0x2400000, 0x24f0000) is inserted from pmap_pae_bootstrap(KPTphys, KPTphys + ptoa(nkpt)); It looks like KPTphys is the result of allocpages(NKPT, &physfree), but I am unsure why that would result in a range that overlaps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
