      x86: Make sure free_init_pages() frees pages on page boundary · c967da6a
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or
      in a more compact fashion.
      
      Example:
      
       Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57
       Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56
      
      The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned.
      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.
      
      So page align the boundaries.
      
      -v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to
           Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page.
           we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could
           confuse decompressor.
      -v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes.
      -v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes.
           We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN
           Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned
           in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it
           to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes.
      -v6: remove one WARN()
           We need to align beginning in free_init_pages()
           do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes

      x86, mm: Report state of NX protections during boot · 4b0f3b81
      Kees Cook 提交于
      It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the
      hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability,
      so NX status should be reported.  Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable
      CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change
      provides feedback for that case as well.

      x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement · 4763ed4d
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
      NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
      available.  Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
      the available of NX.
      
      This patch:
      
      a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
         into a single x86_configure_nx() function.  EFER control is left
         to the head code.
      
      b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely.  Things that need to
         test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
         and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.

      x86: Move init_gbpages() to setup_arch() · 854c879f
      Pekka J Enberg 提交于
      The init_gbpages() function is conditionally called from
      init_memory_mapping() function. There are two call-sites where
      this 'after_bootmem' condition can be true: setup_arch() and
      mem_init() via pci_iommu_alloc().
      
      Therefore, it's safe to move the call to init_gbpages() to
      setup_arch() as it's always called before mem_init().
      
      This removes an after_bootmem use - paving the way to remove
      all uses of that state variable.

      x86: add hooks for kmemcheck · f8561296
      Vegard Nossum 提交于
      The hooks that we modify are:
      - Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
      - Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
        the instruction that caused the page fault)
      
      Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is
      enabled.
      
      (Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
      handler.)
      
      As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable
      the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation
      in order to avoid false-positive warnings.
