      drivers in a general fashion only needing io.h for access to

      x86/mm: Add ioremap_uc() helper to map memory uncacheable (not UC-) · e4b6be33
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      ioremap_nocache() currently uses UC- by default. Our goal is to
      eventually make UC the default. Linux maps UC- to PCD=1, PWT=0
      page attributes on non-PAT systems. Linux maps UC to PCD=1,
      PWT=1 page attributes on non-PAT systems. On non-PAT and PAT
      systems a WC MTRR has different effects on pages with either of
      these attributes. In order to help with a smooth transition its
      best to enable use of UC (PCD,1, PWT=1) on a region as that
      ensures a WC MTRR will have no effect on a region, this however
      requires us to have an way to declare a region as UC and we
      currently do not have a way to do this.
      
        WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC.
        WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC)  yields UC.
      
        WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC.
        WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC)  yields UC.
      
      A flip of the default ioremap_nocache() behaviour from UC- to UC
      can therefore regress a memory region from effective memory type
      WC to UC if MTRRs are used. Use of MTRRs should be phased out
      and in the best case only arch_phys_wc_add() use will remain,
      even if this happens arch_phys_wc_add() will have an effect on
      non-PAT systems and changes to default ioremap_nocache()
      behaviour could regress drivers.
      
      Now, ideally we'd use ioremap_nocache() on the regions in which
      we'd need uncachable memory types and avoid any MTRRs on those
      regions. There are however some restrictions on MTRRs use, such
      as the requirement of having the base and size of variable sized
      MTRRs to be powers of two, which could mean having to use a WC
      MTRR over a large area which includes a region in which
      write-combining effects are undesirable.
      
      Add ioremap_uc() to help with the both phasing out of MTRR use
      and also provide a way to blacklist small WC undesirable regions
      in devices with mixed regions which are size-implicated to use
      large WC MTRRs. Use of ioremap_uc() helps phase out MTRR use by
      avoiding regressions with an eventual flip of default behaviour
      or ioremap_nocache() from UC- to UC.
      
      Drivers working with WC MTRRs can use the below table to review
      and consider the use of ioremap*() and similar helpers to ensure
      appropriate behaviour long term even if default
      ioremap_nocache() behaviour changes from UC- to UC.
      
      Although ioremap_uc() is being added we leave set_memory_uc() to
      use UC- as only initial memory type setup is required to be able
      to accommodate existing device drivers and phase out MTRR use.
      It should also be clarified that set_memory_uc() cannot be used
      with IO memory, even though its use will not return any errors,
      it really has no effect.

      /dev/mem: Use more consistent data types · 4707a341
      Thierry Reding 提交于
      The xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() functions take either a physical address
      or a kernel virtual address, so data types should be phys_addr_t and
      void *. They both return a kernel virtual address which is only ever
      used in calls to copy_{from,to}_user(), so make variables that store it
      void * rather than char * for consistency.
      
      Also only define a weak unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function if architectures
      haven't overridden them in the asm/io.h header file.

      x86/mm: sparse warning fix for early_memremap · 6b550f6f
      Dave Young 提交于
      This patch series takes the common bits from the x86 early ioremap
      implementation and creates a generic implementation which may be used by
      other architectures.  The early ioremap interfaces are intended for
      situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings
      before the normal ioremap interfaces are available.  Typically, this
      means before paging_init() has run.
      
      This patch (of 6):
      
      There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a =
      early_memremap(phys_addr, size);
      
      early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the
      return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one.
      
      For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch
      do below two things:
      1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap
      2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap
      
      From Boris:
        "Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too.  I'd guess we can try it.
         FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped
         as normal memory so we should be safe"

      Add arch_phys_wc_{add, del} to manipulate WC MTRRs if needed · d0d98eed
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      Several drivers currently use mtrr_add through various #ifdef guards
      and/or drm wrappers.  The vast majority of them want to add WC MTRRs
      on x86 systems and don't actually need the MTRR if PAT (i.e.
      ioremap_wc, etc) are working.
      
      arch_phys_wc_add and arch_phys_wc_del are new functions, available
      on all architectures and configurations, that add WC MTRRs on x86 if
      needed (and handle errors) and do nothing at all otherwise.  They're
      also easier to use than mtrr_add and mtrr_del, so the call sites can
      be simplified.
      
      As an added benefit, this will avoid wasting MTRRs and possibly
      warning pointlessly on PAT-supporting systems.

      xen: Cope with unmapped pages when initializing kernel pagetable · fef5ba79
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Xen requires that all pages containing pagetable entries to be mapped
      read-only.  If pages used for the initial pagetable are already mapped
      then we can change the mapping to RO.  However, if they are initially
      unmapped, we need to make sure that when they are later mapped, they
      are also mapped RO.
      
      We do this by knowing that the kernel pagetable memory is pre-allocated
      in the range e820_table_start - e820_table_end, so any pfn within this
      range should be mapped read-only.  However, the pagetable setup code
      early_ioremaps the pages to write their entries, so we must make sure
      that mappings created in the early_ioremap fixmap area are mapped RW.
      (Those mappings are removed before the pages are presented to Xen
      as pagetable pages.)

      mm, x86: Saving vmcore with non-lazy freeing of vmas · 3ee48b6a
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing
      ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed

      is chewing up most of that time).
      
      This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It
      causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the
      vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()).

      x86: Fix 'reservetop=' functionality · e67a807f
      Liang Li 提交于
      When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter,
      the kernel will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that
      relates to commit 8827247f.
      
      The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of
      'slot_virt[i]' was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init().
      But later in setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will
      modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.
      
      The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated
      value of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference
      old value from slot_virt[slot] directly.
      
      Changelog since v0:
      
      -v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get
           adjusted, Hence check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and
           PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP.
      
      -v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in
           reserve_top_address  to re-initialize slot_virt and
           corresponding PMD when parse_reservertop
      
      -v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make

      ISA addresses on x86 are mapped 1:1 with the physical address space.
      Since the ISA address space is only 24 bits (32 for VLB or LPC) it
      will always fit in an unsigned int, and at least in the aha1542 driver
      using a wider type would cause an undesirable promotion.  Hence

      x86: fix assumed to be contiguous leaf page tables for kmap_atomic region (take 2) · a3c6018e
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      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.

      x86: start annotating early ioremap pointers with __iomem · 1d6cf1fe
      Harvey Harrison 提交于
      Impact: some new sparse warnings in e820.c etc, but no functional change.
      
      As with regular ioremap, iounmap etc, annotate with __iomem.
      
      Fixes the following sparse warnings, will produce some new ones
      elsewhere in arch/x86 that will get worked out over time.
      
      arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:402:9: warning: cast removes address space of expression
      arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:406:10: warning: cast adds address space to expression (<asn:2>)

      x86: fix readb() et al compile error with gcc-3.2.3 · 1c5b0eb6
      Mikael Pettersson 提交于
      Building 2.6.27-rc1 on x86 with gcc-3.2.3 fails with:

      Starting with 2.6.27-rc1 readb() et al are generated by a
      build_mmio_read() macro, which generates asm() statements with
      output register constraints like "=" "q", i.e. as two adjacent
      string literals. This doesn't work with gcc-3.2.3.
      
      Fixed by moving the "=" part into the callers' reg parameter
      (as suggested by Ingo).
      
      Build and boot-tested with gcc-3.2.3 on 32 and 64-bit x86.

      x86: consolidate header guards · 77ef50a5
      Vegard Nossum 提交于
      This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
      format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
      
      The format:
      
      1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
      2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
         distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
      3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
         underscores.

      Of course, for non-x86, you kind of have to expect drivers to be
      well-behaved, so non-x86 can probably avoid this simply because there are
      less relevant drivers involved.
      
      Here's a UNTESTED patch for x86 that may or may not compile and work, and
      which serializes (on a compiler level) the IO accesses against regular
      memory accesses.
      
      __read[bwlq]()/__write[bwlq]() are not serialized with a :"memory"
      barrier, although since they still use "asm volatile" I suspect that i
      practice they are probably serial too. Did not look very closely at any
      generated code (only did a trivial test to see that the code looks
      *roughly* correct).
