Assign Write-Through type to the PA7 slot in the PAT MSR when the processor is not affected by PAT errata. The PA7 slot is chosen to improve robustness in the presence of errata that might cause the high PAT bit to be ignored. This way a buggy PA7 slot access will hit the PA3 slot, which is UC, so at worst we lose performance without causing a correctness issue. The following Intel processors are affected by the PAT errata. Errata CPUID ---------------------------------------------------- Pentium 2, A52 family 0x6, model 0x5 Pentium 3, E27 family 0x6, model 0x7, 0x8 Pentium 3 Xenon, G26 family 0x6, model 0x7, 0x8, 0xa Pentium M, Y26 family 0x6, model 0x9 Pentium M 90nm, X9 family 0x6, model 0xd Pentium 4, N46 family 0xf, model 0x0 Instead of making sharp boundary checks, we remain conservative and exclude all Pentium 2, 3, M and 4 family processors. For those, _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WT is redirected to UC- per the default setup in __cachemode2pte_tbl[].

Two Linux device drivers cannot work with PAT and the work required to make them work is significant. There is not enough motivation to convert these drivers over to use PAT properly, the compromise reached is to let drivers that cannot be ported to PAT check if PAT was enabled and if so fail on probe with a recommendation to boot with the "nopat" kernel parameter.

We use pat_enabled in x86-specific code to see if PAT is enabled or not but we're granting full access to it even though readers do not need to set it. If, for instance, we granted access to it to modules later they then could override the variable setting... no bueno. This renames pat_enabled to a new static variable __pat_enabled. Folks are redirected to use pat_enabled() now. Code that sets this can only be internal to pat.c. Apart from the early kernel parameter "nopat" to disable PAT, we also have a few cases that disable it later and make use of a helper pat_disable(). It is wrapped under an ifdef but since that code cannot run unless PAT was enabled its not required to wrap it with ifdefs, unwrap that. Likewise, since "nopat" doesn't really change non-PAT systems just remove that ifdef as well. Although we could add and use an early_param_off(), these helpers don't use __read_mostly but we want to keep __read_mostly for __pat_enabled as this is a hot path -- upon boot, for instance, a simple guest may see ~4k accesses to pat_enabled(). Since __read_mostly early boot params are not that common we don't add a helper for them just yet. Signed-off-by: NLuis R.

This patch adds the argument 'uniform' to mtrr_type_lookup(), which gets set to 1 when a given range is covered uniformly by MTRRs, i.e. the range is fully covered by a single MTRR entry or the default type. Change pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to honor the 'uniform' flag to see if it is safe to create a huge page mapping in the range. This allows them to create a huge page mapping in a range covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory type. It also detects a non-optimal request properly. They continue to check with the WB type since it does not effectively change the uniform mapping even if a request spans multiple MTRR entries. pmd_set_huge() logs a warning message to a non-optimal request so that driver writers will be aware of such a case. Drivers should make a mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered by MTRRs.

kernel_map_sync_memtype() is called from a variety of contexts. The pat.c code that calls it seems to ensure that it is not called for non-ram areas by checking via pat_pagerange_is_ram(). It is important that it only be called on the actual identity map because there *IS* no map to sync for highmem pages, or for memory holes. The ioremap.c uses are not as careful as those from pat.c, and call kernel_map_sync_memtype() on PCI space which is in the middle of the kernel identity map _range_, but is not actually mapped. This patch adds a check to kernel_map_sync_memtype() which probably duplicates some of the checks already in pat.c. But, it is necessary for the ioremap.c uses and shouldn't hurt other callers.

The KVM code has some repeated bugs in it around use of __pa() on per-cpu data. Those data are not in an area on which using __pa() is valid. However, they are also called early enough in boot that __vmalloc_start_set is not set, and thus the CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL debugging does not catch them. This adds a check to also verify __pa() calls against max_low_pfn, which we can use earler in boot than is_vmalloc_addr(). However, if we are super-early in boot, max_low_pfn=0 and this will trip on every call, so also make sure that max_low_pfn is set before we try to use it. With this patch applied, CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL will actually catch the bug I was chasing (and fix later in this series). I'd love to find a generic way so that any __pa() call on percpu areas could do a BUG_ON(), but there don't appear to be any nice and easy ways to check if an address is a percpu one. Anybody have ideas on a way to do this? Signed-off-by: NDave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130122212430.F46F8159@kernel.stglabs.ibm.comSigned-off-by: NH.

With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory attribute and uses it. Expectation is that the driver reserves the memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn(). remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range. This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range() with a desired memory attribute. For ranges smaller than the vma size (which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the existing memory attribute for the pfn range. Expose two different API's for these different behaviors. track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn() and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range(). This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in the 'vma'.

'pfn' argument for track_pfn_vma_new() can be used for reserving the attribute for the pfn range. No need to depend on 'vm_pgoff' Similarly, untrack_pfn_vma() can depend on the 'pfn' argument if it is non-zero or can use follow_phys() to get the starting value of the pfn range. Also the non zero 'size' argument can be used instead of recomputing it from vma. This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in the 'vma'.

Function pat_pagerange_is_ram() scales poorly to large address ranges, because it probes the resource tree for each page. On a 2.6 GHz Opteron, this function consumes 34 ms for a 1 GB range. It is called twice during untrack_pfn_vma(), slowing process cleanup and handicapping the OOM killer. This replacement consumes less than 1ms, under the same conditions.

While testing an application using the xpmem (out of kernel) driver, we noticed a significant page fault rate reduction of x86_64 with respect to ia64. For one test running with 32 cpus, one thread per cpu, it took 01:08 for each of the threads to vm_insert_pfn 2GB worth of pages. For the same test running on 256 cpus, one thread per cpu, it took 14:48 to vm_insert_pfn 2 GB worth of pages. The slowdown was tracked to lookup_memtype which acquires the spinlock memtype_lock. This heavily contended lock was slowing down vm_insert_pfn(). With the cmpxchg on page->flags method, both the 32 cpu and 256 cpu cases take approx 00:01.3 seconds to complete.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Move pat backend to fully rbtree based implementation from the existing rbtree and linked list hybrid. New rbtree based solution uses interval trees (augmented rbtrees) in order to store the PAT ranges. The new code seprates out the pat backend to pat_rbtree.c file, making is cleaner. The change also makes the PAT lookup, reserve and free operations more optimal, as we don't have to traverse linear linked list of few tens of entries in normal case.

While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems, since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to vfs_fsync_range and when not. This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers. This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe. We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path to make sure we always get these sane options. Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

Recent enhancement of rb-tree based lookup exposed a bug with the lookup mechanism in the reserve_memtype() which ensures that there are no conflicting memtype requests for the memory range. memtype_rb_search() returns an entry which has a start address <= new start address. And from here we traverse the linear linked list to check if there any conflicts with the existing mappings. As the rbtree is based on the start address of the memory range, it is quite possible that we have several overlapped mappings whose start address is much less than new requested start but the end is >= new requested end. This results in conflicting memtype mappings. Same bug exists with the old code which uses cached_entry from where we traverse the linear linked list. But the new rb-tree code exposes this bug fairly easily. For now, don't use the memtype_rb_search() and always start the search from the head of linear linked list in reserve_memtype(). Linear linked list for most of the systems grow's to few 10's of entries(as we track memory type of RAM pages using struct page). So we should be ok for now. We still retain the rbtree and use it to speed up free_memtype() which doesn't have the same bug(as we know what exactly we are searching for in free_memtype). Also use list_for_each_entry_from() in free_memtype() so that we start the search from rb-tree lookup result.
