| * x86: Introduce function to get pmd entry pointerJuergen Gross2014-12-041-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduces lookup_pmd_address() to get the address of the pmd entry related to a virtual address in the current address space. This function is needed for support of a virtual mapped sparse p2m list in xen pv domains, as we need the address of the pmd entry, not the one of the pte in that case.

* | mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurableJoonsoo Kim2014-12-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and makes related functions to be disabled in this case. Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

The PAT MSR contains 8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache modes. A pte references one of those entries via 3 bits: _PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD. The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes. The PAT MSR is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a pte doesn't matter: the top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same as the 4 lower entries. This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode. Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards which now have to use uncached accesses. OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of the ABI. This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0). The tables are statically initialized with values being compatible to old processors and current usage. As soon as the PAT MSR is changed (or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed accordingly. Requests of mappings with special cache modes are always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a fallback to a compatible but slower mode. Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features: - capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with full PAT support - processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for some pages - reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems, plus other smaller fixes" * 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (22 commits) x86: mm: Move PAT only functions to mm/pat.c xen: Support Xen pv-domains using PAT x86: Enable PAT to use cache mode translation tables x86: Respect PAT bit when copying pte values between large and normal pages x86: Support PAT bit in pagetable dump for lower levels x86: Clean up pgtable_types.h x86: Use new cache mode type in memtype related functions x86: Use new cache mode type in mm/ioremap.c x86: Use new cache mode type in setting page attributes x86: Remove looking for setting of _PAGE_PAT_LARGE in pageattr.c x86: Use new cache mode type in track_pfn_remap() and track_pfn_insert() x86: Use new cache mode type in mm/iomap_32.c x86: Use new cache mode type in asm/pgtable.h x86: Use new cache mode type in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c x86: Use new cache mode type in arch/x86/pci x86: Use new cache mode type in drivers/video/fbdev/vermilion x86: Use new cache mode type in drivers/video/fbdev/gbefb.c x86: Use new cache mode type in include/asm/fb.h x86: Make page cache mode a real type x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems ...

Due to this issue, some Linux 32-PAE distros, running as guests on Hyper-V, with 5GB memory assigned, can't load the netvsc driver successfully and hence the synthetic network device can't work (we can use the kernel parameter mem=3000M to work around the issue).

With this kernel code: static struct page *crash_page; static unsigned long *crash_address; [..] crash_page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 9); crash_address = page_address(crash_page); if (set_memory_np((unsigned long)crash_address, 1)) printk("set_memory_np failure\n"); [..] The kernel will crash if inside the "crash tool" one would try to read the memory at the not present address. crash> p crash_address crash_address = $8 = (long unsigned int *) 0xffff88023c000000 crash> rd 0xffff88023c000000 [ *lockup* ] The lockup happens because _PAGE_GLOBAL and _PAGE_PROTNONE shares the same bit, and pageattr leaves _PAGE_GLOBAL set on a kernel pte which is then mistaken as _PAGE_PROTNONE (so pte_present returns true by mistake and the kernel fault then gets confused and loops). With THP the same can happen after we taught pmd_present to check _PAGE_PROTNONE and _PAGE_PSE in commit 027ef6c87853b0a9df5317 ("mm: thp: fix pmd_present for split_huge_page and PROT_NONE with THP"). THP has the same problem with _PAGE_GLOBAL as the 4k pages, but it also has a problem with _PAGE_PSE, which must be cleared too.

Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions (which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode() ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling efi-get-time in physical mode). Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable() requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()). Also make the two EFI functions in question here static - they're not being referenced elsewhere. History: This commit was originally merged as bacef661acdb ("x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock") but it resulted in some ASUS machines no longer booting due to a firmware bug, and so was reverted in f026cfa82f62. A pre-emptive fix for the buggy ASUS firmware was merged in 03a1c254975e ("x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls") so now this patch can be reapplied.

* | memory-hotplug: common APIs to support page tables hot-removeWen Congyang2013-02-231-22/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When memory is removed, the corresponding pagetables should alse be removed. This patch introduces some common APIs to support vmemmap pagetable and x86_64 architecture direct mapping pagetable removing. All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed if some pages used as PGD/PUD include not only removed memory but also other memory. So this patch uses the following way to check whether a page can be freed or not. 1) When removing memory, the page structs of the removed memory are filled with 0FD. 2) All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be cleared. In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed. For direct mapping pages, update direct_pages_count[level] when we freed their pagetables. And do not free the pages again because they were freed when offlining. For vmemmap pages, free the pages and their pagetables. For larger pages, do not split them into smaller ones because there is no way to know if the larger page has been split. As a result, there is no way to decide when to split. We deal the larger pages in the following way: 1) For direct mapped pages, all the pages were freed when they were offlined. And since menmory offline is done section by section, all the memory ranges being removed are aligned to PAGE_SIZE. So only need to deal with unaligned pages when freeing vmemmap pages. 2) For vmemmap pages being used to store page_struct, if part of the larger page is still in use, just fill the unused part with 0xFD. And when the whole page is fulfilled with 0xFD, then free the larger page.

We have some functions to do conversions _like_ this in the vmalloc() code (like vmalloc_to_page()), but they do not work on sizes other than 4k pages. We would potentially need to be able to handle all the page sizes that we use for the kernel linear mapping (4k, 2M, 1G). In practice, on 32-bit NUMA systems, the percpu areas get stuck in the alloc_remap() area. Any __pa() call on them will break and basically return garbage. This patch introduces a new function slow_virt_to_phys(), which walks the kernel page tables on x86 and should do precisely the same logical thing as __pa(), but actually work on a wider range of memory. It should work on the normal linear mapping, vmalloc(), kmap(), etc...

Linker script is adjusted so .rodata always start and end on a page boundary 3. NX is set for all pages from _etext through _end in mark_rodata_ro. 4. free_init_pages() sets released memory NX in arch/x86/mm/init.c 5. bios rom is set to x when pcibios is used.

* x86: Fix improper large page preservationmatthieu castet2010-11-181-10/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug in try_preserve_large_page() which may result in improper large page preservation and improper application of page attributes to the memory area outside of the original change request. More specifically, the problem manifests itself when set_memory_*() is called for several pages at the beginning of the large page and try_preserve_large_page() erroneously concludes that the change can be applied to whole large page. The fix consists of 3 parts: 1. Addition of "required" protection attributes in static_protections(), so .data and .bss can be guaranteed to stay "RW" 2. static_protections() is now called for every small page within large page to determine compatibility of new protection attributes (instead of just small pages within the requested range). 3. Large page can be preserved only if attribute change is large-page-aligned and covers whole large page. -v1: Try_preserve_large_page() patch for Linux 2.6.34-rc2 -v2: Replaced pfn check with address check for kernel rw-data Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh <sliakh.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang <jiang@cs.ncsu.edu> Reviewed-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Kees Cook <kees.cook@canonical.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> LKML-Reference: <4CE2F7F3.8030809@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
