Change reserve_ram_pages_type and free_ram_pages_type to use 2 page flags to track UC_MINUS, WC, WB and default types. Previous RAM tracking just tracked WB or NonWB, which was not complete and did not allow tracking of RAM fully and there was no way to get the actual type reserved by looking at the page flags. We use the memtype_lock spinlock for atomicity in dealing with memtype tracking in struct page.

PAT memtype tracking uses a linear link list to keep track of IO (non-RAM) regions and their memtypes. The code used a last_accessed pointer as a cache to speedup the lookup. As per discussions with H. Peter Anvin a while back, having a rbtree here will avoid bad performances in pathological cases where we may end up with huge linked list. This may not add any noticable performance speedup in normal case as the number of entires in PAT memtype list tend to be ~20-30 range. The patch removes the "cached_entry" logic as with rbtree we have more generic way of speeding up the lookup. With this patch, we use rbtree to do the quick lookup. We still use linked list as the memtype range tracked can be of different sizes and can overlap in different ways. We also keep track of usage counts with linked list. Example: Multiple ioremaps with different sizes uncached-minus @ 0xfffff00000-0xfffff04000 uncached-minus @ 0xfffff02000-0xfffff03000 And one userlevel mmap and the thread forks a new process uncached-minus @ 0xbf453000-0xbf454000 uncached-minus @ 0xbf453000-0xbf454000 Signed-off-by: NVenkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NSuresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NH.

ioremap has this hard-coded check for new type and requested type. That check differs from other PAT users like /dev/mem mmap, remap_pfn_range in only one condition where requested type is UC_MINUS and new type is WC. Under that condition, ioremap fails. But other PAT interfaces succeed with a WC mapping. Change to make ioremap be in sync with other PAT APIs and use the same macro as others.

Make reserve_memtype internally take care of pat disabled case and fallback to default return values. Remove the specific pat_disabled checks in track_* routines. Change kernel_map_sync_memtype to sync identity map even when pat_disabled. This change ensures that, even for pat_disabled case, we take care of keeping identity map in sync. Before this patch, in pat disabled case, ioremap() keeps the identity maps in sync and other APIs like pci and /dev/mem mmap don't, which is not a very consistent behavior.

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.

lpage allocator aliases a PMD page for each cpu and returns whatever is unused to the page allocator. When the pageattr of the recycled pages are changed, this makes the two aliases point to the overlapping regions with different attributes which isn't allowed and known to cause subtle data corruption in certain cases. This can be handled in simliar manner to the x86_64 highmap alias. pageattr code should detect if the target pages have PMD alias and split the PMD alias and synchronize the attributes. pcpur allocator is updated to keep the allocated PMD pages map sorted in ascending address order and provide pcpu_lpage_remapped() function which binary searches the array to determine whether the given address is aliased and if so to which address. pageattr is updated to use pcpu_lpage_remapped() to detect the PMD alias and split it up as necessary from cpa_process_alias(). Jan Beulich spotted the original problem and incorrect usage of vaddr instead of laddr for lookup. With this, lpage percpu allocator should work correctly. Re-enable it.

It's really not right to use 'access_ok()', since that is meant for the normal "get_user()" and "copy_from/to_user()" accesses, which are done through the TLB, rather than through the page tables. Why? access_ok() does both too few, and too many checks. Too many, because it is meant for regular kernel accesses that will not honor the 'user' bit in the page tables, and because it honors the USER_DS vs KERNEL_DS distinction that we shouldn't care about in GUP. And too few, because it doesn't do the 'canonical' check on the address on x86-64, since the TLB will do that for us. So instead of using a function that isn't meant for this, and does something else and much more complicated, just do the real rules: we don't want the range to overflow, and on x86-64, we want it to be a canonical low address (on 32-bit, all addresses are canonical).

Improve a few details in perfcounter call-chain recording that makes use of fast-GUP: - Use ACCESS_ONCE() to observe the pte value. ptes are fundamentally racy and can be changed on another CPU, so we have to be careful about how we access them. The PAE branch is already careful with read-barriers - but the non-PAE and 64-bit side needs an ACCESS_ONCE() to make sure the pte value is observed only once. - make the checks a bit stricter so that we can feed it any kind of cra^H^H^H user-space input ;-) Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Prefetch instructions can generate spurious faults on certain models of older CPUs. The faults themselves cannot be stopped and they can occur pretty much anywhere - so the way we solve them is that we detect certain patterns and ignore the fault. There is one small path of code where we must not take faults though: the #PF handler execution leading up to the reading of the CR2 (the faulting address). If we take a fault there then we destroy the CR2 value (with that of the prefetching instruction's) and possibly mishandle user-space or kernel-space pagefaults. It turns out that in current upstream we do exactly that: prefetchw(&mm->mmap_sem); /* Get the faulting address: */ address = read_cr2(); This is not good. So turn around the order: first read the cr2 then prefetch the lock address. Reading cr2 is plenty fast (2 cycles) so delaying the prefetch by this amount shouldnt be a big issue performance-wise. [ And this might explain a mystery fault.c warning that sometimes occurs on one an old AMD/Semptron based test-system i have - which does have such prefetch problems. ] Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk> LKML-Reference: <20090616030522.GA22162@Krystal> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302 On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs. As part of this, page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match if they are to be shared. All VMA flags are taken into account, including VM_LOCKED. The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork(). When a process with a shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared VMAs with different flags. The impact is that the shared segment is sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what process is checking. What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events. As the page tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the children exit. The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions are freed. This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix". This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed mapping.

wbinvd is supported on all CPUs 486 or later. But, pageattr.c is checking x86_model >= 4 before wbinvd(), which looks like an oversight bug. It was first introduced at one place by changeset d7c8f21a and got copied over to second place in the same file later.

Recently there were some changes to the meaning of node_possible_map, and it is quite strange: - the node without memory would be set in node_possible_map - but some node with less NODE_MIN_SIZE will be kicked out of node_possible_map. fix it by adding strict_setup_node_bootmem(). Also, remove unparse_node(). so result will be: 1. cpu_to_node() will return online node only (nearest one) 2. apicid_to_node() still returns the node that could be not online but is set in node_possible_map. 3. node_possible_map will include nodes that mem on it are less NODE_MIN_SIZE v2: after move_cpus_to_node change.

after: | commit b263295d | Author: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> | Date: Wed Jan 30 13:30:47 2008 +0100 | | x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore. Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead. This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

With sparse memory, holes should not be marked present for memmap. This patch makes sure sparsemem really works on SMP mode (!NUMA).

There's no need to use call memory_present() manually on UMA because initmem_init() sets up early_node_map by calling e820_register_active_regions().
