On my 32-bit MIPS dumps, MEMORY: works properly without this patch, but
they have contig_page_data instead of __node_data/node_data so they
When the
node_data/__node_data and pgdat_list symbols cannot be successfully
read from the kernel symbols, the contig_page_data symbol will be read. In
your 32-bit machine, there should be no node_data/__node_data, pgdat_list
symbols, and a single node, so the memory size can be displayed normally
without this patch.
shouldn't be affected by this code. AFAICS only mach-loongson64
and
mach-ip27 have __node_data.
Yes, only mach-loongson64 and mach-ip27 use __node_data in the MIPS
architecture.

Is this really correct? Doesn't __mips__ check the host architecture
when what we want to check here is the target?
The results of filtering in the
kernel code are as follows :
# grep -wnr "EXPORT_SYMBOL(node_data)"
arch/alpha/mm/numa.c:23:EXPORT_SYMBOL(node_data);
arch/arc/mm/init.c:37:EXPORT_SYMBOL(node_data);
arch/sparc/mm/init_64.c:1106:EXPORT_SYMBOL(node_data);
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:52:EXPORT_SYMBOL(node_data);
arch/s390/kernel/numa.c:18:EXPORT_SYMBOL(node_data);
arch/arm64/mm/numa.c:20:EXPORT_SYMBOL(node_data);
arch/x86/mm/numa.c:26:EXPORT_SYMBOL(node_data);
# grep -wnr "EXPORT_SYMBOL(__node_data)"
arch/mips/sgi-ip27/ip27-memory.c:38:EXPORT_SYMBOL(__node_data);
arch/mips/loongson64/numa.c:33:EXPORT_SYMBOL(__node_data);
In the MIPS architecture, no platform uses node_data, only the __node_data
symbol. All other architectures use node_data symbols, so it should be
feasible to use __mips__ to determine the target (as long as it is a MIPS
architecture, use __node_data instead of node_data).
Thanks,
Youling.
