This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads. For rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was done on a random lab machine. PMEM reads from a write combining mapping: # dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s PMEM reads from a write-back mapping: # dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000 1000000+0 records in 1000000+0 records out 4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec: http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read, and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed. In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently only supported on x86.

Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1]. Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller) before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis, memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage of pointers to pmem. This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but reworks to ioremap, and wider implementation of memremap() will enable other archs in 4.3.

ioremap_nocache() currently uses UC- by default. Our goal is to eventually make UC the default. Linux maps UC- to PCD=1, PWT=0 page attributes on non-PAT systems. Linux maps UC to PCD=1, PWT=1 page attributes on non-PAT systems. On non-PAT and PAT systems a WC MTRR has different effects on pages with either of these attributes. In order to help with a smooth transition its best to enable use of UC (PCD,1, PWT=1) on a region as that ensures a WC MTRR will have no effect on a region, this however requires us to have an way to declare a region as UC and we currently do not have a way to do this. WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC. WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC) yields UC. WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC. WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC) yields UC. A flip of the default ioremap_nocache() behaviour from UC- to UC can therefore regress a memory region from effective memory type WC to UC if MTRRs are used. Use of MTRRs should be phased out and in the best case only arch_phys_wc_add() use will remain, even if this happens arch_phys_wc_add() will have an effect on non-PAT systems and changes to default ioremap_nocache() behaviour could regress drivers. Now, ideally we'd use ioremap_nocache() on the regions in which we'd need uncachable memory types and avoid any MTRRs on those regions. There are however some restrictions on MTRRs use, such as the requirement of having the base and size of variable sized MTRRs to be powers of two, which could mean having to use a WC MTRR over a large area which includes a region in which write-combining effects are undesirable. Add ioremap_uc() to help with the both phasing out of MTRR use and also provide a way to blacklist small WC undesirable regions in devices with mixed regions which are size-implicated to use large WC MTRRs. Use of ioremap_uc() helps phase out MTRR use by avoiding regressions with an eventual flip of default behaviour or ioremap_nocache() from UC- to UC. Drivers working with WC MTRRs can use the below table to review and consider the use of ioremap*() and similar helpers to ensure appropriate behaviour long term even if default ioremap_nocache() behaviour changes from UC- to UC. Although ioremap_uc() is being added we leave set_memory_uc() to use UC- as only initial memory type setup is required to be able to accommodate existing device drivers and phase out MTRR use. It should also be clarified that set_memory_uc() cannot be used with IO memory, even though its use will not return any errors, it really has no effect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MTRR Non-PAT PAT Linux ioremap value Effective memory type ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-PAT | PAT PAT |PCD ||PWT ||| WC 000 WB _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB WC | WC WC 001 WC _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WC WC* | WC WC 010 UC- _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC_MINUS WC* | WC WC 011 UC _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC UC | UC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: NLuis R.

This patch series takes the common bits from the x86 early ioremap implementation and creates a generic implementation which may be used by other architectures. The early ioremap interfaces are intended for situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings before the normal ioremap interfaces are available. Typically, this means before paging_init() has run. This patch (of 6): There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a = early_memremap(phys_addr, size); early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one. For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch do below two things: 1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap 2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap From Boris: "Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too. I'd guess we can try it. FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped as normal memory so we should be safe" Signed-off-by: NDave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NMark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> Acked-by: NH.

Several drivers currently use mtrr_add through various #ifdef guards and/or drm wrappers. The vast majority of them want to add WC MTRRs on x86 systems and don't actually need the MTRR if PAT (i.e. ioremap_wc, etc) are working. arch_phys_wc_add and arch_phys_wc_del are new functions, available on all architectures and configurations, that add WC MTRRs on x86 if needed (and handle errors) and do nothing at all otherwise. They're also easier to use than mtrr_add and mtrr_del, so the call sites can be simplified. As an added benefit, this will avoid wasting MTRRs and possibly warning pointlessly on PAT-supporting systems.

The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the 64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver (and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in <http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>). To fix this, revert 2c5643b1 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and follow-on cleanups. This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>. However as discussed exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).

To do this, we define our own BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE. When CONFIG_XEN isn't enabled, or we're not running in a Xen domain, this has identical behaviour to the normal implementation.

Xen requires that all pages containing pagetable entries to be mapped read-only. If pages used for the initial pagetable are already mapped then we can change the mapping to RO. However, if they are initially unmapped, we need to make sure that when they are later mapped, they are also mapped RO. We do this by knowing that the kernel pagetable memory is pre-allocated in the range e820_table_start - e820_table_end, so any pfn within this range should be mapped read-only. However, the pagetable setup code early_ioremaps the pages to write their entries, so we must make sure that mappings created in the early_ioremap fixmap area are mapped RW. (Those mappings are removed before the pages are presented to Xen as pagetable pages.)

During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next() is chewing up most of that time). This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()).

When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter, the kernel will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that relates to commit 8827247f. The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of 'slot_virt[i]' was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init(). But later in setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified. The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated value of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference old value from slot_virt[slot] directly. Changelog since v0: -v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get adjusted, Hence check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP. -v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in reserve_top_address to re-initialize slot_virt and corresponding PMD when parse_reservertop -v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make sure other clients of reserve_top_address like xen/lguest won't broken Signed-off-by: NLiang Li <liang.li@windriver.com> Tested-by: NKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Acked-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Acked-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Cc: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: "H.

Impact: fix kprobes crash on 32-bit with RAM above 4G Use phys_addr_t for receiving a physical address argument instead of unsigned long. This allows fixmap to handle pages higher than 4GB on x86-32.

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. Hence explicitly cast the ISA bus addresses to unsigned int. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@hansenpartnership.com>

Commit 976e8f67 ("x86: asm/io.h: unify virt_to_phys/phys_to_virt") changed the return of virt_to_phys from long to phys_addr_t which is unsigned long long on a PAE platform. So, I could suggest a fix below since isa addresses may never be above 32 bits. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: unify identical code asm/io_32.h and _64.h has functionally identical definitions for virt_to_phys, phys_to_virt, page_to_phys, and the isa_* variants, so just unify them. The only slightly functional change is using phys_addr_t for the physical address argument and return val. Signed-off-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to calculate pte addresses). This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't show up the problem). Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile scheme ever breaks again... Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration, namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the time the fixmap area page tables get constructed. Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for large CPU counts to actually boot.

if HAVE_READQ/HAVE_WRITEQ are defined, the full range of readq/writeq APIs has to be provided to drivers: drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/c2.c: In function 'c2_tx_ring_alloc': drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100/c2.c:133: error: implicit declaration of function '__raw_writeq' So provide them on 32-bit as well. Also, map all the APIs to the strongest ordering variant. It's way too easy to mess such details up in drivers and the difference between "memory" and "" constrained asm() constructs is in the noise range. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

early_ioremap() is also used to map normal memory when constructing the linear memory mapping. However, since we sometimes need to be able to distinguish between actual IO mappings and normal memory mappings, add a early_memremap() call, which maps with PAGE_KERNEL (as opposed to PAGE_KERNEL_IO for early_ioremap()), and use it when constructing pagetables.
