...because future AMD systems will support up to 64 MCA banks per CPU. MAX_NR_BANKS is used to allocate a number of data structures, and it is used as a ceiling for values read from MCG_CAP[Count]. Therefore, this change will have no functional effect on existing systems with 32 or fewer MCA banks per CPU. However, this will increase the size of the following structures: Global bitmaps: - core.c / mce_banks_ce_disabled - core.c / all_banks - core.c / valid_banks - core.c / toclear - Total: 32 new bits * 4 bitmaps = 16 new bytes Per-CPU bitmaps: - core.c / mce_poll_banks - intel.c / mce_banks_owned - Total: 32 new bits * 2 bitmaps = 8 new bytes The bitmaps are arrays of longs. So this change will only affect 32-bit execution, since there will be one additional long used. There will be no additional memory use on 64-bit execution, because the size of long is 64 bits. Global structs: - amd.c / struct smca_bank smca_banks[]: 16 bytes per bank - core.c / struct mce_bank_dev mce_bank_devs[]: 56 bytes per bank - Total: 32 new banks * (16 + 56) bytes = 2304 new bytes Per-CPU structs: - core.c / struct mce_bank mce_banks_array[]: 16 bytes per bank - Total: 32 new banks * 16 bytes = 512 new bytes 32-bit Total global size increase: 2320 bytes Total per-CPU size increase: 520 bytes 64-bit Total global size increase: 2304 bytes Total per-CPU size increase: 512 bytes This additional memory should still fit within the existing .data section of the kernel binary. However, in the case where it doesn't fit, an additional page (4kB) of memory will be added to the binary to accommodate the extra data which will be the maximum size increase of vmlinux.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
