In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in question. By swapping to PAGE_KERNEL_UC_MINUS, we can get the actual behavior the caller wanted (WC if you can manage it, UC otherwise). This recovers the 40% performance improvement of using WC in the DRM to upload vertex data. Signed-off-by: NEric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit 58dab916) which exposed the issue, existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute corruption) behavior. This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that various people reported. In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping. If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes, existing code fails like this: __change_page_attr_set_clr() __change_page_attr() returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn. cpa_process_alias() uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value) which can potentially lead to changing the page attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity mapping of RAM pages etc. oops! This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell. Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes.

Impact: fix crash with memory hotplug enabled kernel_physical_mapping_init() is called during memory hotplug so it does not belong in the init section. If the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y on the make command line, arch/x86/mm/init_64.c is compiled with the -fno-inline-functions-called-once gcc option defeating inlining of kernel_physical_mapping_init() within init_memory_mapping(). When kernel_physical_mapping_init() is not inlined it is placed in the .init.text section according to the __init in it's current declaration. A later call to kernel_physical_mapping_init() during a memory hotplug operation encounters an int3 trap because the .init.text section memory has been freed. This patch eliminates the crash caused by the int3 trap by moving the non-inlined kernel_physical_mapping_init() from .init.text to .meminit.text.

Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to calculate pte addresses). This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't show up the problem). Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile scheme ever breaks again... Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration, namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the time the fixmap area page tables get constructed. Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for large CPU counts to actually boot.

Impact: avoid warning message, potentially solve 3D performance regression Change x86 PAT code to return compatible memtype if the exact memtype that was requested in remap_pfn_rage and friends is not available due to some conflict. This is done by returning the compatible type in pgprot parameter of track_pfn_vma_new(), and the caller uses that memtype for page table. Note that track_pfn_vma_copy() which is basically called during fork gets the prot from existing page table and should not have any conflict. Hence we use strict memtype check there and do not allow compatible memtypes. This patch fixes the bug reported here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123108883716357&w=2 Specifically the error message: X:5010 map pfn expected mapping type write-back for d0000000-d0101000, got write-combining Should go away.

Ajith Kumar noticed: I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function. pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address); Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k). However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd = pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd = pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address); We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device. As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings. This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned. NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set. In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field, drivers issues from userspace.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all the memory sections located on nodeX. For example: /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135 indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1. Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state' that were previously not described there. In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with the maximum possible amount of physical location information for resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by this change. Immediate: - Provides information needed to determine the specific node on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out. - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory could be ugly. - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes. Future: - Will provide information needed to identify the memory sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal of a specific node. Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

Rather than have the pagefault handler kill a process directly if it gets a VM_FAULT_OOM, have it call into the OOM killer. With increasingly sophisticated oom behaviour (cpusets, memory cgroups, oom killing throttling, oom priority adjustment or selective disabling, panic on oom, etc), it's silly to unconditionally kill the faulting process at page fault time. Create a hook for pagefault oom path to call into instead. Only converted x86 and uml so far.

Impact: cleanup, futureproof In fact, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit numbers < nr_cpu_ids. So use that instead of NR_CPUS in various places. This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

Impact: make debug warning less scary The ioremap() time multi-BAR map warning has been causing false positives: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/10/432 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/11/136 So make it less scary by making it once-per-boot, by making it KERN_INFO and by adding this text: "Info: mapping multiple BARs. Your kernel is fine." Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.

Impact: fix crash during hibernation on 32-bit NUMA The NUMA code on x86_32 creates special memory mapping that allows each node's pgdat to be located in this node's memory. For this purpose it allocates a memory area at the end of each node's memory and maps this area so that it is accessible with virtual addresses belonging to low memory. As a result, if there is high memory, these NUMA-allocated areas are physically located in high memory, although they are mapped to low memory addresses. Our hibernation code does not take that into account and for this reason hibernation fails on all x86_32 systems with CONFIG_NUMA=y and with high memory present. Fix this by adding a special mapping for the NUMA-allocated memory areas to the temporary page tables created during the last phase of resume. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is off mmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26. This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing still happens if PAT is enabled.
