      Revert "x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables" · 7b16bbf9

      Commit:
      
         722bc6b1 x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables
      
      Tried to address the issue that the first 2/4M should use 4k pages
      if PSE enabled, but extra counts should only be valid for x86_32.
      
      This commit caused a kdump regression: the kdump kernel hangs.
      
      Work is in progress to fundamentally fix the various page table
      initialization issues that we have, via the design suggested
      by H. Peter Anvin, but it's not ready yet to be merged.
      
      So, to get a working kdump revert to the last known working version,
      which is the revert of this commit and of a followup fix (which was
      incomplete):
      
         bd2753b2 x86/mm: Only add extra pages count for the first memory range during pre-allocation
      
      Tested kdump on physical and virtual machines.

      x86: Fix S4 regression · 8548c84d
      Takashi Iwai 提交于
      Commit 4b239f45 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4
      regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4
      resume.  It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20.  But,
      like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory
      assignment in the older way.

      x86/mm: Fix section mismatch derived from native_pagetable_reserve() · 53f8023f

        LD      vmlinux.o

      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1ba48): Section mismatch in reference from the function native_pagetable_reserve() to the function .init.text:memblock_x86_reserve_range()
      The function native_pagetable_reserve() references
      the function __init memblock_x86_reserve_range().
      This is often because native_pagetable_reserve lacks a __init
      annotation or the annotation of memblock_x86_reserve_range is wrong.
      
      This patch fixes the issue.

      x86,xen: introduce x86_init.mapping.pagetable_reserve · 279b706b
      Stefano Stabellini 提交于
      Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end
      of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
      the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones.
      
      On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
      takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
      for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
      other purposes.
      
      A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows.
      
      As a consequence of the commit:
      
      commit 4b239f45
      Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
      Date:   Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800
      
          x86-64, mm: Put early page table high
      
      at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages
      area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls
      in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument).
      Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range
      pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and
      everything is fine.
      Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
      pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
      are going to be mapped RW.  When these pages become pagetable pages and
      are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
      a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
      The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
      to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
      operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).
      
      In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
      pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
      is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
      init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
      of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
      ranges are RO).
      
      For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we
      used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other
      purposes.
      On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it
      also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but
      that haven't been used before.
      
      Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if
      (xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen
      counterpart, but that is just nasty.

      x86-64, mm: Put early page table high · 4b239f45
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      While dubug kdump, found current kernel will have problem with crashkernel=512M.
      
      It turns out that initial mapping is to 512M, and later initial mapping to 4G
      (acutally is 2040M in my platform), will put page table near 512M.
      then initial mapping to 128g will be near 2g.

      It means with the patch, page table for [0, 2g) will need 2g, instead of under 512M,
      page table for [4g, 128g) will be near 128g, instead of under 2g.
      
      That would good, if we have lots of memory above 4g, like 1024g, or 2048g or 16T, will not put
      related page table under 2g. that would be have chance to fill the under 2g if 1G or 2M page is
      not used.
      
      the code change will use add map_low_page() and update unmap_low_page() for 64bit, and use them
      to get access the corresponding high memory for page table setting.

      x86: Add NX protection for kernel data · 5bd5a452
      Matthieu Castet 提交于
      This patch expands functionality of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to set main
      (static) kernel data area as NX.
      
      The following steps are taken to achieve this:
      
       1. Linker script is adjusted so .text always starts and ends on a page bound
       2. Linker script is adjusted so .rodata always start and end on a page boundary
       3. NX is set for all pages from _etext through _end in mark_rodata_ro.
       4. free_init_pages() sets released memory NX in arch/x86/mm/init.c
       5. bios rom is set to x when pcibios is used.
      
      The results of patch application may be observed in the diff of kernel page
      table dumps:

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      x86: Make sure free_init_pages() frees pages on page boundary · c967da6a
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or
      in a more compact fashion.
      
      Example:
      
       Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57
       Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56
      
      The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned.
      Last page could be shared with other users.
      
      When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page
      could be freed and we could corrupt other data.
      
      code segment in free_init_pages():
      
       |        for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) {
       |                ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
       |                init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr));
       |                memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)),
       |                        POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE);
       |                free_page(addr);
       |                totalram_pages++;
       |        }
      
      last half page could be used as one whole free page.
      
      So page align the boundaries.
      
      -v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to
           Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page.
           we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could
           confuse decompressor.
      -v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes.
      -v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes.
           We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN
           Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned
           in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it
           to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes.
      -v6: remove one WARN()
           We need to align beginning in free_init_pages()
           do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes

      It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the
      hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability,
      so NX status should be reported.  Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable
      CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change
      provides feedback for that case as well.

      x86, mm: Clean up and simplify NX enablement · 4763ed4d
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling
      NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is
      available.  Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for
      the available of NX.
      
      This patch:
      
      a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function
         into a single x86_configure_nx() function.  EFER control is left
         to the head code.
      
      b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely.  Things that need to
         test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly,
         and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX.

      x86: Move init_gbpages() to setup_arch() · 854c879f
      Pekka J Enberg 提交于
      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.

      x86: add hooks for kmemcheck · f8561296
      Vegard Nossum 提交于
      The hooks that we modify are:
      - Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
      - Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
        the instruction that caused the page fault)
      
      Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is
      enabled.
      
      (Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
      handler.)
      
      As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable
      the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation
      in order to avoid false-positive warnings.
