      x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text · 19d36ccd
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write
      protected by DEBUG_RODATA
      
      Add a general utility function to change write protected text.  The new
      function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU
      synchronization.  It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.
      
      There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
      comment.
      
      This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
      text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.
      
      Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu
      Desnoyers.

      Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation" · e3ebadd9
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This was broken.  It adds complexity, for no good reason.  Rather than
      separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
      and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
      is more readable and has nicer semantics.
      
      However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
      the exact same as __pa().  That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
      and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.
      
      Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
      the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
      all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
      constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
      more sanity-checking of the argument.

      [PATCH] x86-64: use lru instead of page->index and page->private for pgd lists management. · 2bff7383
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      x86_64 currently simulates a list using the index and private fields of the
      page struct.  Seems that the code was inherited from i386.  But x86_64 does
      not use the slab to allocate pgds and pmds etc.  So the lru field is not
      used by the slab and therefore available.
      
      This patch uses standard list operations on page->lru to realize pgd
      tracking.

      [PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation · 0dbf7028
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
      map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
      But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.
      
      __pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
      if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
      spaces.  This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
      __pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
      the address.
      
      There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
      __pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.
      
      Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
      __pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one.  A little of
      it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
      instead of recalculating it several times.
      
      swapper_pgd is now NULL.  leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
      and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
      to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd.  The
      physical address changed.
      
      Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
      to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization.  So this
      should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
      kernel.
      
      As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
      for anything I missed.  But it works for me (tm).

      [PATCH] x86-64: Remove the identity mapping as early as possible · cfd243d4
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page
      allocator there is nothing that needs identity mapped pages,
      once we start executing C code.
      
      So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove
      zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code.  The functions
       are subtly different thus the name change.
      
      This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier
      attempt to move the identity mappings as early as possible,
      and is now no longer needed.  Essentially I have replaced
      boot_level4_pgt with trampoline_level4_pgt in trampoline.S

      [PATCH] x86-64: Clean up the early boot page table · 67dcbb6b
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      - Merge physmem_pgt and ident_pgt, removing physmem_pgt.  The merge
        is broken as soon as mm/init.c:init_memory_mapping is run.
      - As physmem_pgt is gone don't export it in pgtable.h.
      - Use defines from pgtable.h for page permissions.
      - Fix the physical memory identity mapping so it is at the correct
        address.
      - Remove the physical memory mapping from wakeup_level4_pgt it
        is at the wrong address so we can't possibly be usinging it.
      - Simply NEXT_PAGE the work to calculate the phys_ alias
        of the labels was very cool.  Unfortuantely it was a brittle
        special purpose hack that makes maitenance more difficult.
        Instead just use label - __START_KERNEL_map like we do
        everywhere else in assembly.

      [PATCH] x86-64: Assembly safe page.h and pgtable.h · 9d291e78
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      This patch makes pgtable.h and page.h safe to include
      in assembly files like head.S.  Allowing us to use
      symbolic constants instead of hard coded numbers when
      refering to the page tables.
      
      This patch copies asm-sparc64/const.h to asm-x86_64 to
      get a definition of _AC() a very convinient macro that
      allows us to force the type when we are compiling the
      code in C and to drop all of the type information when
      we are using the constant in assembly.  Previously this
      was done with multiple definition of the same constant.
      const.h was modified slightly so that it works when given
      CONFIG options as arguments.
      
      This patch adds #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ ... #endif
      and _AC(1,UL) where appropriate so the assembler won't
      choke on the header files.  Otherwise nothing
      should have changed.

      [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros · 46a82b2d
      Dave McCracken 提交于
      One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
      pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
      page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
      have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
      other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
      
      Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
      structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
      simple to standardize their usage.
      
      Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
      patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
      pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.
