Impact: no functionality changed Factor out the opcode checker into a helper inline. The code got a tiny bit smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.before 4618 32 24 4674 1242 fault.o.after And it got cleaner / easier to review as well.

Impact: cleanup, no code changed Clean up various small details, which can be correctness checked automatically: - tidy up the include file section - eliminate unnecessary includes - introduce show_signal_msg() to clean up code flow - standardize the code flow - standardize comments and other style details - more cleanups, pointed out by checkpatch No code changed on either 32-bit nor 64-bit: arch/x86/mm/fault.o: text data bss dec hex filename 4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.before 4632 32 24 4688 1250 fault.o.after the md5 changed due to a change in a single instruction: 2e8a8241e7f0d69706776a5a26c90bc0 fault.o.before.asm c5c3d36e725586eb74f0e10692f0193e fault.o.after.asm Because a __LINE__ reference in a WARN_ONCE() has changed.

Impact: future-proof the split_large_page() function Linus noticed that split_large_page() is not safe wrt. the PAT bit: it is bit 12 on the 1GB and 2MB page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE), and it is bit 7 on the 4K page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT). Currently it is not a problem because we never set _PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE on any of the large-page mappings - but should this happen in the future the split_large_page() would silently lift bit 12 into the lowlevel 4K pte and would start corrupting the physical page frame offset. Not fun. So add a debug warning, to make sure if something ever sets the PAT bit then this function gets updated too.

Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access, but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault as a lazy TLB transaction. This will result in an infinite loop of: fault -> spurious_fault check (pass) -> return to code -> fault This patch adds a check and a warn on if the PTE passes the permissions but the PMD does not.

Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD itself having been marked read-only as well in split_large_page(). The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard (and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE. The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and incorrect concept at the page table level - because the pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot 'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any mixture of protections. With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive (or permissive) protections will control it. Also update the comment. This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing. [ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not realized back then. ] Reported-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reported-by: NHuang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Acked-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages() is triggering: BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page)); Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations: if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) { printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: " "start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n", start_page, end_page, zone); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n", page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page)); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n", page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page)); printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: " "start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n", page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page)); ... And here's what I got: move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00] move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00] move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff] move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0] My memory layout on this box is: [ 0.000000] Zone PFN ranges: [ 0.000000] Normal 0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d [ 0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node [ 0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges [ 0.000000] 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51 [ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers the problem. This patch: Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used. I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy. This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h After this, if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID -> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c else -> per-arch back end function will be called.

Impact: Cleanup; fix inappropriate macro use 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.
