      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.

      x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text · 19d36ccd
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write
protected by DEBUG_RODATA

Add a general utility function to change write protected text.  The new
function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU
synchronization.  It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.

There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
comment.

This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.

Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu
Desnoyers.

      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      - Disable CLFLUSH again; it is still broken. Always do WBINVD.
- Always flush in the i386 case, not only when there are deferred pages.

These are both brute-force inefficient fixes, to be improved
next release cycle.

The changes to i386 are a little more extensive than strictly
needed (some dead code added), but it is more similar to the x86-64 version
now and the dead code will be used soon.

      Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation" · e3ebadd9
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      This was broken.  It adds complexity, for no good reason.  Rather than
separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
is more readable and has nicer semantics.

However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
the exact same as __pa().  That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.

Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
more sanity-checking of the argument.

      [PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation · 0dbf7028
      由 Vivek Goyal 提交于 
      Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.

__pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
spaces.  This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
__pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
the address.

There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
__pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.

Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
__pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one.  A little of
it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
instead of recalculating it several times.

swapper_pgd is now NULL.  leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd.  The
physical address changed.

Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization.  So this
should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
kernel.

As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
for anything I missed.  But it works for me (tm).

      [PATCH] x86-64: Always flush all pages in change_page_attr · 90767bd1
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      change_page_attr on x86-64 only flushed the TLB for pages that got
reverted. That's not correct: it has to be flushed in all cases.

This bug was added in some earlier changes.

Just flush all pages for now.

This could be done more efficiently, but for this late in the release
this seem to be the best fix.

      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
