      x86: fix boot crash on HIGHMEM4G && SPARSEMEM · 23be8c7d
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Denys Fedoryshchenko reported a bootup crash when he upgraded
his system from 3GB to 4GB RAM:

   http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/7/9

the bug is due to HIGHMEM4G && SPARSEMEM kernels making pfn_to_page()
to return an invalid pointer when the pfn is in a memory hole. The
256 MB PCI aperture at the end of RAM was not mapped by sparsemem,
and hence the pfn was not valid. But set_highmem_pages_init() iterated
this range without checking the pfn's validity first.

this bug was probably present in the sparsemem code ever since sparsemem
has been introduced in v2.6.13. It was masked due to HIGHMEM64G using
larger memory regions in sparsemem_32.h:

 #ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
 #define SECTION_SIZE_BITS       30
 #define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS       36
 #define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS        36
 #else
 #define SECTION_SIZE_BITS       26
 #define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS       32
 #define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS        32
 #endif

which creates 1GB sparsemem regions instead of 64MB sparsemem regions.
So in practice we only ever created true sparsemem holes on x86 with
HIGHMEM4G - but that was rarely used by distros.

( btw., we could probably save 2MB of mem_map[]s on X86_PAE if we reduced
  the sparsemem region size to 256 MB. )

      x86: fix global_flush_tlb() bug · 9a24d04a
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      While we were reviewing pageattr_32/64.c for unification,
Thomas Gleixner noticed the following serious SMP bug in
global_flush_tlb():

	down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
	list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l);
	up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);

this is SMP-unsafe because list_replace_init() done on two CPUs in
parallel can corrupt the list.

This bug has been introduced about a year ago in the 64-bit tree:

       commit ea7322de
       Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
       Date:   Thu Dec 7 02:14:05 2006 +0100

       [PATCH] x86-64: Speed and clean up cache flushing in change_page_attr

                down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);
        -       dpage = xchg(&deferred_pages, NULL);
        +       list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l);
                up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem);

the xchg() based version was SMP-safe, but list_replace_init() is not.
So this "cleanup" introduced a nasty bug.

why this bug never become prominent is a mystery - it can probably be
explained with the (still) relative obscurity of the x86_64 architecture.

the safe fix for now is to write-lock init_mm.mmap_sem.

      i386: clean up oops/bug reports · 9aa8d719
      由 Pavel Emelyanov 提交于 
      Typically the oops first lines look like this:

Such output is gained with some ugly if (!nl) printk("\n"); code and
besides being a waste of lines, this is also annoying to read. The
following output looks better (and it is how it looks on x86_64):

      x86: fix cpu_to_node references · 98c9e27a
      由 Mike Travis 提交于 
      In x86_64 and i386 architectures most arrays that are sized using
NR_CPUS lay in local memory on node 0.  Not only will most (99%?) of the
systems not use all the slots in these arrays, particularly when NR_CPUS
is increased to accommodate future very high cpu count systems, but a
number of cache lines are passed unnecessarily on the system bus when
these arrays are referenced by cpus on other nodes.

Typically, the values in these arrays are referenced by the cpu
accessing it's own values, though when passing IPI interrupts, the cpu
does access the data relevant to the targeted cpu/node.  Of course, if
the referencing cpu is not on node 0, then the reference will still
require cross node exchanges of cache lines.  A common use of this is
for an interrupt service routine to pass the interrupt to other cpus
local to that node.

Ideally, all the elements in these arrays should be moved to the per_cpu
data area.  In some cases (such as x86_cpu_to_apicid) the array is
referenced before the per_cpu data areas are setup.  In this case, a
static array is declared in the __initdata area and initialized by the
booting cpu (BSP).  The values are then moved to the per_cpu area after
it is initialized and the original static array is freed with the rest
of the __initdata.

This patch:

Fix four instances where cpu_to_node is referenced by array instead of
via the cpu_to_node macro.  This is preparation to moving it to the
per_cpu data area.

      Create an inline function for clflush(), with the proper arguments,
and use it instead of hard-coding the instruction.

This also removes one instance of hard-coded wbinvd, based on a patch
by Bauder de Oliveira Costa.

      x86: NX bit handling in change_page_attr() · 84e0fdb1
      由 Huang, Ying 提交于 
      This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on
Intel x86_64 CPUs.  After changing page attribute to be executable with
these functions, the page remains un-executable on Intel x86_64 CPU.
Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level
page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to
section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual).  So, the bug is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when
splitting the huge PMD.

      x86: fix CONFIG_PAGEALLOC related boot hangs/OOMs · 509a80c4
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      if CONFIG_PAGEALLOC is enabled then X86_FEATURE_PSE is disabled and all
the kernel physical RAM pagetables are set up as 4K pages. This is
needed so that CONFIG_PAGEALLOC can do finegrained mapping and unmapping
of pages.

as a side-effect though, the total size of memory allocated as kernel
pagetables increases significantly. All these pagetables are allocated
via alloc_bootmem_low_pages(), straight out of the lowmem DMA pool. If
the system has enough RAM and a large kernel image then almost all of
the 16 MB lowmem DMA pool is allocated to the image and to pagetables -
leaving no space for __GFP_DMA allocations.

this results in drivers failing and the bootup hanging:

  =======================

the fix is to first allocate from above the DMA pool, and if that fails
(for example due to it being a machine with less than 16 MB of RAM),
allocate from the DMA pool as a fallback.

With this fix applied i was able to boot a PAGEALLOC=y kernel that would
hang before.
