      x86: always set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL* flags · 8490638c
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Consistently set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL flags.  This makes 32-
      and 64-bit code consistent, and removes some special cases where
      __PAGE_KERNEL* did not have _PAGE_GLOBAL set, causing confusion as a
      result of the inconsistencies.
      
      This patch only affects x86-64, which generally always supports PGD.
      The x86-32 patch is next.

      Phew.  OK, I've worked this out.  Short version is that's it's a false
      alarm, and there was no real failure here.  Long version:
      
          * I changed the code to create the physical mapping pagetables to
            reuse any existing mapping rather than replace it.   Specifically,
            reusing an pud pointed to by the pgd caused this symptom to appear.
          * The specific PUD being reused is the one created statically in
            head_64.S, which creates an initial 1GB mapping.
          * That mapping doesn't have _PAGE_GLOBAL set on it, due to the
            inconsistency between __PAGE_* and PAGE_*.
          * The CPA test attempts to clear _PAGE_GLOBAL, and then checks to
            see that the resulting range is 1) shattered into 4k pages, and 2)
            has no _PAGE_GLOBAL.
          * However, since it didn't have _PAGE_GLOBAL on that range to start
            with, change_page_attr_clear() had nothing to do, and didn't
            bother shattering the range,
          * resulting in the reported messages
      
      The simple fix is to set _PAGE_GLOBAL in level2_ident_pgt.
      
      An additional fix to make CPA testing more robust by using some other
      pagetable bit (one of the unused available-to-software ones).  This
      would solve spurious CPA test warnings under Xen which uses _PAGE_GLOBAL
      for its own purposes (ie, not under guest control).
      
      Also, we should revisit the use of _PAGE_GLOBAL in asm-x86/pgtable.h,
      and use it consistently, and drop MAKE_GLOBAL.  The first time I
      proposed it it caused breakages in the very early CPA code; with luck
      that's all fixed now.

      paravirt/x86, 64-bit: move __PAGE_OFFSET to leave a space for hypervisor · a6523748
      Eduardo Habkost 提交于
      Set __PAGE_OFFSET to the most negative possible address +
      16*PGDIR_SIZE.  The gap is to allow a space for a hypervisor to fit.
      The gap is more or less arbitrary, but it's what Xen needs.
      
      When booting native, kernel/head_64.S has a set of compile-time
      generated pagetables used at boot time.  This patch removes their
      absolutely hard-coded layout, and makes it parameterised on
      __PAGE_OFFSET (and __START_KERNEL_map).

      x86: rename KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE => KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE · d4afe414
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel
      text but data, bss and init sections as well.
      
      That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression,
      because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB
      "text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit
      with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.

      x86: fix spontaneous reboot with allyesconfig bzImage · 88f3aec7
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously
      rebooting during early bootup.
      
      after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out
      that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel
      image:
      
            #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE  (40*1024*1024)
      
      which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass:
      
             text           data       bss        dec       hex   filename
         29703744        4222751   8646224c   42572719   2899baf   vmlinux
      
      40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/
      
      So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is
      the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-)
      
      So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped.
      (should anyone be that crazy or lazy)
      
      We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these
      mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather
      pointless and arbitrary.

      x86: zap invalid and unused pmds in early boot · 31eedd82
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The early boot code maps KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (currently 40MB) starting
      from __START_KERNEL_map. The kernel itself only needs _text to _end
      mapped in the high alias. On relocatible kernels the ASM setup code
      adjusts the compile time created high mappings to the relocation. This
      creates invalid pmd entries for negative offsets:
      
      0xffffffff80000000 -> pmd entry: ffffffffff2001e3
      It points outside of the physical address space and is marked present.
      
      This starts at the virtual address __START_KERNEL_map and goes up to
      the point where the first valid physical address (0x0) is mapped.
      
      Zap the mappings before _text and after _end right away in early
      boot. This removes also the invalid entries.
      
      Furthermore it simplifies the range check for high aliases.

      [PATCH] x86: tighten kernel image page access rights · 6fb14755
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      On x86-64, kernel memory freed after init can be entirely unmapped instead
      of just getting 'poisoned' by overwriting with a debug pattern.
      
      On i386 and x86-64 (under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA), kernel text and bug table
      can also be write-protected.
      
      Compared to the first version, this one prevents re-creating deleted
      mappings in the kernel image range on x86-64, if those got removed
      previously. This, together with the original changes, prevents temporarily
      having inconsistent mappings when cacheability attributes are being
      changed on such pages (e.g. from AGP code). While on i386 such duplicate
      mappings don't exist, the same change is done there, too, both for
      consistency and because checking pte_present() before using various other
      pte_XXX functions is a requirement anyway. At once, i386 code gets
      adjusted to use pte_huge() instead of open coding this.

      [PATCH] x86-64: Relocatable Kernel Support · 1ab60e0f
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run
      at any 2M aligned address, below 512G.  The technique used is to
      compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor
      is fully relocatable.  For the main kernel the page tables are
      modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address.  In
      addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address
      the kernel is loaded at.  __pa_symbol is modified to add that when
      we take the address of a kernel symbol.
      
      When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress
      the kernel to 2M and it will run there.  This both ensures the
      relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M
      pages for the kernel and the cpu.

      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page
      allocator there is nothing that needs identity mapped pages,
      once we start executing C code.
      
      So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove
      zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code.  The functions
       are subtly different thus the name change.
      
      This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier
      attempt to move the identity mappings as early as possible,
      and is now no longer needed.  Essentially I have replaced
      boot_level4_pgt with trampoline_level4_pgt in trampoline.S

      o Moved wakeup_level4_pgt into the wakeup routine so we can

        This enables us to resume even in relocatable kernel context when
        kernel might not be loaded at physical addr it has been compiled for.
      
      o Removed the need for modifying any existing kernel page table.
      
      o Increased the size of the wakeup routine to 8K. This is required as
        wake page tables are on trampoline itself and they got to be at 4K
        boundary, hence one page is not sufficient.
