By just reversing the order memtest is using the test patterns, an additional round to zero the memory is not necessary.

Since the new ASID code in b5466f87 ("ARM: mm: remove IPI broadcasting on ASID rollover") was changed to use 64bit operations it has broken the BE operation due to an issue with the MM code accessing sub-fields of mm->context.id. When running in BE mode we see the values in mm->context.id are stored with the highest value first, so the LDR in the arch/arm/mm/proc-macros.S reads the wrong part of this field. To resolve this, change the LDR in the mmid macro to load from +4.

A static mapped area is ARM-specific, so it is better not to use generic vmalloc data structure, that is, vmlist and vmlist_lock for managing static mapped area. And it causes some needless overhead and reducing this overhead is better idea. Now, we have newly introduced static_vm infrastructure. With it, we don't need to iterate all mapped areas. Instead, we just iterate static mapped areas. It helps to reduce an overhead of finding matched area. And architecture dependency on vmalloc layer is removed, so it will help to maintainability for vmalloc layer.

由 Joonsoo Kim 提交于
In current implementation, we used ARM-specific flag, that is, VM_ARM_STATIC_MAPPING, for distinguishing ARM specific static mapped area. The purpose of static mapped area is to re-use static mapped area when entire physical address range of the ioremap request can be covered by this area. This implementation causes needless overhead for some cases. For example, assume that there is only one static mapped area and vmlist has 300 areas. Every time we call ioremap, we check 300 areas for deciding whether it is matched or not. Moreover, even if there is no static mapped area and vmlist has 300 areas, every time we call ioremap, we check 300 areas in now. If we construct a extra list for static mapped area, we can eliminate above mentioned overhead. With a extra list, if there is one static mapped area, we just check only one area and proceed next operation quickly. In fact, it is not a critical problem, because ioremap is not frequently used. But reducing overhead is better idea. Another reason for doing this work is for removing architecture dependency on vmalloc layer. I think that vmlist and vmlist_lock is internal data structure for vmalloc layer. Some codes for debugging and stat inevitably use vmlist and vmlist_lock. But it is preferable that they are used as least as possible in outside of vmalloc.c Now, I introduce an ARM-specific infrastructure for static mapped area. In the following patch, we will use this and resolve above mentioned problem.

On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses). Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same northbridge). We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce this sharing.

" Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves this problem: "This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)." The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the %cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is the approach taken in this patch. Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses the %ss segment. In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention and lead to accidents.

A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads /proc/kcore: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110 [...] Call Trace: [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370 [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0 [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0 [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.
