Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4. CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a per-cpu variable. To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and __switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

In commit 78d77df7 ("x86-64, init: Do not set NX bits on non-NX capable hardware") we added the early_pmd_flags that gets the NX bit set when a CPU supports NX. However, the new variable was marked __initdata, because the main _use_ of this is in an __init routine. However, the bit setting happens from secondary_startup_64(), which is called not only at bootup, but on every secondary CPU start. Including resuming from STR and at CPU hotplug time. So the value cannot be __initdata.

During early init, we would incorrectly set the NX bit even if the NX feature was not supported. Instead, only set this bit if NX is actually available and enabled.

由 H. Peter Anvin 提交于
Linear mode (CR0.PG = 0) is mutually exclusive with 64-bit mode; all 64-bit code has to use page tables. This makes it awkward before we have first set up properly all-covering page tables to access objects that are outside the static kernel range. So far we have dealt with that simply by mapping a fixed amount of low memory, but that fails in at least two upcoming use cases: 1. We will support load and run kernel, struct boot_params, ramdisk, command line, etc. above the 4 GiB mark. 2. need to access ramdisk early to get microcode to update that as early possible. We could use early_iomap to access them too, but it will make code to messy and hard to be unified with 32 bit. Hence, set up a #PF table and use a fixed number of buffers to set up page tables on demand. If the buffers fill up then we simply flush them and start over. These buffers are all in __initdata, so it does not increase RAM usage at runtime. Thus, with the help of the #PF handler, we can set the final kernel mapping from blank, and switch to init_level4_pgt later. During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available, we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound. The kernel region itself will be properly mapped; other mappings may be spurious. early_make_pgtable is using kernel high mapping address to access pages to set page table. -v4: Add phys_base offset to make kexec happy, and add init_mapping_kernel() - Yinghai -v5: fix compiling with xen, and add back ident level3 and level2 for xen also move back init_level4_pgt from BSS to DATA again. because we have to clear it anyway. - Yinghai -v6: switch to init_level4_pgt in init_mem_mapping. - Yinghai -v7: remove not needed clear_page for init_level4_page it is with fill 512,8,0 already in head_64.S - Yinghai -v8: we need to keep that handler alive until init_mem_mapping and don't let early_trap_init to trash that early #PF handler. So split early_trap_pf_init out and move it down. - Yinghai -v9: switchover only cover kernel space instead of 1G so could avoid touch possible mem holes. - Yinghai -v11: change far jmp back to far return to initial_code, that is needed to fix failure that is reported by Konrad on AMD systems. - Yinghai Signed-off-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359058816-7615-12-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: NH.

We want to support struct boot_params (formerly known as the zero-page, or real-mode data) above the 4 GiB mark. We will have #PF handler to set page table for not accessible ram early, but want to limit it before x86_64_start_reservations to limit the code change to native path only. Also we will need the ramdisk info in struct boot_params to access the microcode blob in ramdisk in x86_64_start_kernel, so copy struct boot_params early makes it accessing ramdisk info simple.

While debugging the __pa_symbol inline patch I found that there were a couple spots where __pa_symbol was used as follows: __pa_symbol(x) - __pa_symbol(y) The compiler had reduced them to: x - y Since we also support a debug case where __pa_symbol is a function call it would probably be useful to just change the two cases I found so that they are always just treated as "x - y".

Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and tries to clean from _brk_end to _end. It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently does not. Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there. This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so we can do everything in one step. Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.

When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or in a more compact fashion.

Last page could be shared with other users. When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page could be freed and we could corrupt other data. code segment in free_init_pages(): | for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) { | ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr)); | init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr)); | memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)), | POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE); | free_page(addr); | totalram_pages++; | } last half page could be used as one whole free page.

Jens found the following crash/regression: [ 0.000000] found SMP MP-table at [ffff8800000fdd80] fdd80 [ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 0-fff BIOS data page and [ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 6000-7fff TRAMPOLINE and bisected it to b24c2a92 ("x86: Move find_smp_config() earlier and avoid bootmem usage"). It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable, without reserving it. So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.

Platforms like Moorestown require early setup and want to avoid the call to reserve_ebda_region. The x86_init override is too late when the MRST detection happens in setup_arch. Move the default i386 x86_init overrides and the call to reserve_ebda_region into a separate function which is called as the default of a switch case depending on the hardware_subarch id in boot params. This allows us to add a case for MRST and let MRST have its own early setup function. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

reserve_ebda_region needs to be called befor start_kernel. Moorestown needs to override it. Make it a x86_init_ops function and initialize it with the default reserve_ebda_region. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Impact: new interface Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never get used. The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or something into it. The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area (__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved up to __bss_stop. Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory. Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general kernel memory pool. Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk, there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

Impact: cleanup Copy the code to cpu_init() to satisfy the requirement that the cpu be reinitialized. Remove all other calls, since the segments are already initialized in head_64.S. Signed-off-by: NBrian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Do the following cleanups: * kill x86_64_init_pda() which now is equivalent to pda_init() * use per_cpu_offset() instead of cpu_pda() when initializing initial_gs Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] As pda is now allocated in percpu area, it can easily be made a proper percpu variable. Make it so by defining per cpu symbol from linker script and declaring it in C code for SMP and simply defining it for UP. This change cleans up code and brings SMP and UP closer a bit.

Now that pda is allocated as part of percpu, percpu doesn't need to be accessed through pda. Unify x86_64 SMP percpu access with x86_32 SMP one. Other than the segment register, operand size and the base of percpu symbols, they behave identical now. This patch replaces now unnecessary pda->data_offset with a dummy field which is necessary to keep stack_canary at its place. This patch also moves per_cpu_offset initialization out of init_gdt() into setup_per_cpu_areas(). Note that this change also necessitates explicit per_cpu_offset initializations in voyager_smp.c. With this change, x86_OP_percpu()'s are as efficient on x86_64 as on x86_32 and also x86_64 can use assembly PER_CPU macros.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately. %gs points to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset. This patch folds pda into percpu area. Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40. To achieve this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu area. After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to point to the actual pda. This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0 already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas(). This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call sites. A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch.

_cpu_pda array first uses statically allocated storage in data.init and then switches to allocated bootmem to conserve space. However, after folding pda area into percpu area, _cpu_pda array will be removed completely. Drop the reallocation part to simplify the code for soon-to-follow changes.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] CPU startup code in head_64.S loaded address of a zero page into %gs for temporary use till pda is loaded but address to the actual pda is available at the point. Load the real address directly instead. This will help unifying percpu and pda handling later on. This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch.
