SubjectWhoops. Don't try to submit kernel patches when you've got the flu (Re: New new enhanced memory detection patch (patch for 2.2.1))
Date
Sigh.  Never try patching a kernel that you can't compile when you're
sick. "Try this instead" -- I've not compiled it, but I've eyeballed
it so I think that the names are at least consistant.

#ifndef STANDARD_MEMORY_BIOS_CALL
! xor edx,edx
! mov [0x1e0], edx ! preset the e801 and e820 return areas
! mov [0x1e4], edx ! so we don't get hilarious results when
! mov [0x1e8], edx ! bioses don't support the memory detect
! ! calls
!
! ! Try three different memory detection schemes. First, try
! ! e820h, which lets us assemble a memory map, then try e801h,
! ! which returns a 32-bit memory size, and finally 88h, which
! ! returns 0-64m
!
! ! method E820H:
! ! the memory map from hell. e820h returns memory classified into
! ! a whole bunch of different types, and allows memory holes and
! ! everything. Currently, I don't care; I just add up all the
! ! memory and hope that no memory holes will materialize to spoil
! ! our fun.
! !
! ! BUGS: If there's a memory hole, this method will cheerfully ignore
! ! it and keep adding up memory. It also doesn't truncate at 1mb,
! ! but adds all memory between 0k and 0xfffK in.

! ! edx is a continuation index. We've preset it to zero, and
! ! each call to e820 will increment it by one up to the point
! ! where there's no more memory to map, at which point it will
! ! drop back to zero.
!

! mov eax, #0x0000e820 ! e820, upper word zeroed
! mov ecx, #20 ! size of the e820rec
!
! int 0x15 ! make the call
! jc meme801 ! fall to e801 if it fails
!
! cmp eax, #0x534d4150 ! check the return is `SMAP'
! jne meme801 ! fall to e801 if it fails
!
! cmp ebx, #0 ! check to see if ebx is
! je meme801 ! set to EOF
!
! cmp e820rec+0x10, #1 ! is this usable memory?
! jne jmpe820 ! no, grab the next chunk.
!
! mov eax, e820rec+8+4 ! get low dword and high
! mov ecx, e820rec+8+0 ! dword of memory size
! add [0x1e4], ecx ! and add it into our
! adc [0x1e8], eax ! long long accumulator
!
! br jmpe820 ! then go back for more.
