Some firmware will set more than one MTRR types, which cause the error checking
with the wrong type. such as,
reg00: base=0x000000000 ( 0MB), size=131072MB, count=1: write-back
reg01: base=0x0c8000000 ( 3200MB), size= 128MB, count=1: uncachable
reg02: base=0x0d0000000 ( 3328MB), size= 256MB, count=1: uncachable
reg03: base=0x0e0000000 ( 3584MB), size= 512MB, count=1: uncachable
and got error as:
mtrr: Memory range 0xc8000000 to 0xc8ffffff (0000:02:01.0) has incorrect
attribute Write-Back.
>From Intel Software Developer Manual, 11.11.4.1 MTRR Precedences:
Below rules are added for FWTS checking,
— If two or more variable memory ranges match and one of the memory types is UC,
the UC memory type used.
— If two or more variable memory ranges match and the memory types are WT and WB
, the WT memory type is used.
— For overlaps not defined by the above rules, processor behavior is undefined.
