To be free of aliasing due to races, set_memory_* interfaces should follow ordering of reserving, changing memtype to UC/WC, changing memtype back to WB followed by free.

Add struct page array pointer to cpa struct and CPA_PAGES_ARRAY. With that we can add change_page_attr_set_clr() a parameter to pass struct page array pointer and that can be handled by the underlying cpa code. cpa_flush_array() is also changed to support both addr array or struct page pointer array, depending on the flag.

Impact: new interface Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never get used. The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or something into it. The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area (__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved up to __bss_stop. Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory. Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general kernel memory pool. Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk, there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

Impact: future-proof the split_large_page() function Linus noticed that split_large_page() is not safe wrt. the PAT bit: it is bit 12 on the 1GB and 2MB page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE), and it is bit 7 on the 4K page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT). Currently it is not a problem because we never set _PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE on any of the large-page mappings - but should this happen in the future the split_large_page() would silently lift bit 12 into the lowlevel 4K pte and would start corrupting the physical page frame offset. Not fun. So add a debug warning, to make sure if something ever sets the PAT bit then this function gets updated too.

Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD itself having been marked read-only as well in split_large_page(). The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard (and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE. The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and incorrect concept at the page table level - because the pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot 'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any mixture of protections. With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive (or permissive) protections will control it. Also update the comment. This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing. [ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not realized back then. ] Reported-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reported-by: NHuang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Acked-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: fix race leading to crash under KVM and Xen The CPA code may be called while we're in lazy mmu update mode - for example, when using DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and doing a slab allocation in an interrupt handler which interrupted a lazy mmu update. In this case, the in-memory pagetable state may be out of date due to pending queued updates. We need to flush any pending updates before inspecting the page table. Similarly, we must explicitly flush any modifications CPA may have made (which comes down to flushing queued operations when flushing the TLB).

Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit 58dab916) which exposed the issue, existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute corruption) behavior. This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that various people reported. In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping. If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these holes, existing code fails like this: __change_page_attr_set_clr() __change_page_attr() returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn. cpa_process_alias() uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value) which can potentially lead to changing the page attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity mapping of RAM pages etc. oops! This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range between max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell. Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes.

Impact: reduce scope of debug check - avoid warnings The logic to find whether identity map exists or not using high_memory or max_low_pfn_mapped/max_pfn_mapped are not complete as the memory withing the range may not be mapped if there is a unusable hole in e820.

Rewrite the vmap allocator to use rbtrees and lazy tlb flushing, and provide a fast, scalable percpu frontend for small vmaps (requires a slightly different API, though). The biggest problem with vmap is actually vunmap. Presently this requires a global kernel TLB flush, which on most architectures is a broadcast IPI to all CPUs to flush the cache. This is all done under a global lock. As the number of CPUs increases, so will the number of vunmaps a scaled workload will want to perform, and so will the cost of a global TLB flush. This gives terrible quadratic scalability characteristics. Another problem is that the entire vmap subsystem works under a single lock. It is a rwlock, but it is actually taken for write in all the fast paths, and the read locking would likely never be run concurrently anyway, so it's just pointless. This is a rewrite of vmap subsystem to solve those problems. The existing vmalloc API is implemented on top of the rewritten subsystem. The TLB flushing problem is solved by using lazy TLB unmapping. vmap addresses do not have to be flushed immediately when they are vunmapped, because the kernel will not reuse them again (would be a use-after-free) until they are reallocated. So the addresses aren't allocated again until a subsequent TLB flush. A single TLB flush then can flush multiple vunmaps from each CPU. XEN and PAT and such do not like deferred TLB flushing because they can't always handle multiple aliasing virtual addresses to a physical address. They now call vm_unmap_aliases() in order to flush any deferred mappings. That call is very expensive (well, actually not a lot more expensive than a single vunmap under the old scheme), however it should be OK if not called too often. The virtual memory extent information is stored in an rbtree rather than a linked list to improve the algorithmic scalability. There is a per-CPU allocator for small vmaps, which amortizes or avoids global locking. To use the per-CPU interface, the vm_map_ram / vm_unmap_ram interfaces must be used in place of vmap and vunmap. Vmalloc does not use these interfaces at the moment, so it will not be quite so scalable (although it will use lazy TLB flushing). As a quick test of performance, I ran a test that loops in the kernel, linearly mapping then touching then unmapping 4 pages. Different numbers of tests were run in parallel on an 4 core, 2 socket opteron. Results are in nanoseconds per map+touch+unmap. threads vanilla vmap rewrite 1 14700 2900 2 33600 3000 4 49500 2800 8 70631 2900 So with a 8 cores, the rewritten version is already 25x faster. In a slightly more realistic test (although with an older and less scalable version of the patch), I ripped the not-very-good vunmap batching code out of XFS, and implemented the large buffer mapping with vm_map_ram and vm_unmap_ram... along with a couple of other tricks, I was able to speed up a large directory workload by 20x on a 64 CPU system. I believe vmap/vunmap is actually sped up a lot more than 20x on such a system, but I'm running into other locks now. vmap is pretty well blown off the profiles.

Do a global flush tlb after splitting the large page and before we do the actual change page attribute in the PTE. With out this, we violate the TLB application note, which says "The TLBs may contain both ordinary and large-page translations for a 4-KByte range of linear addresses. This may occur if software modifies the paging structures so that the page size used for the address range changes. If the two translations differ with respect to page frame or attributes (e.g., permissions), processor behavior is undefined and may be implementation-specific." And also serialize cpa() (for !DEBUG_PAGEALLOC which uses large identity mappings) using cpa_lock. So that we don't allow any other cpu, with stale large tlb entries change the page attribute in parallel to some other cpu splitting a large page entry along with changing the attribute.

No alias checking needed for setting present/not-present mapping. Otherwise, we may need to break large pages for 64-bit kernel text mappings (this adds to complexity if we want to do this from atomic context especially, for ex: with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC). Let's keep it simple!

Add array interface APIs of pageattr. page based cache flush is quite slow for a lot of pages. If pages are more than 1024 (4M), the patch will use a wbinvd(). We have a simple test here (run a 3d game - open arena), nearly all agp memory allocation are small (< 1M), so suppose this will not impact runtime performance.

Highmem code can leave ptes and tlb entries around for a given page even after kunmap, and after it has been freed. >From what I can gather, the PAT code may change the cache attributes of arbitrary physical addresses (ie. including highmem pages), which would result in aliases in the case that it operates on one of these lazy tlb highmem pages. Flushing kmaps should solve the problem. I've also just added code for conditional flushing if we haven't got any dangling highmem aliases -- this should help performance if we change page attributes frequently or systems that aren't using much highmem pages (eg. if < 4G RAM). Should be turned into 2 patches, but just for RFC... Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Introduce two APIs for page attribute. flushing tlb/cache in every page attribute is expensive. AGP gart usually will do a lot of operations to change a page to uc, new APIs can reduce flush.

Do we actually want these DirectMap lines in the x86 /proc/meminfo? I can see they're interesting to CPA developers and TLB optimizers, but they don't fit its usual "where has all my memory gone?" usage. If they are to stay, here are some fixes. 1. On x86_32 without PAE, they're not 2M but 4M pages: no need to mess with the internal enum, but show the right name to users. 2. Many machines can never show anything but 0 for DirectMap1G, so suppress that line unless direct_gbpages are really enabled. 3. The unit in /proc/meminfo is kB not number of pages: HugePages messed that up, but they're an example to regret not to follow. 4. Once we use kB, it's easy to see that 1GB has gone missing (which explains why CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG=y soon wraps DirectMap2M negative): because head_64.S's level2_ident_pgt entries were not counted. My fix is not ideal, but works for more and for less than 1G, and avoids interfering with early bootup pagetable contortions.

Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to /proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the kernel will run slower. This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how many are split. Useful for general insight into the kernel. v2: Add hotplug locking to 64bit to plug a very obscure theoretical race. 32bit doesn't need it because it doesn't support hotadd for lowmem. Fix some typos v3: Rename dpages_cnt Add CONFIG ifdef for count update as requested by tglx Expand description v4: Fix stupid bugs added in v3 Move update_page_count to pageattr.c Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx, use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and pci_mmap_page_range() Use UC_MINUS for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() instead of strong UC. Once all the X drivers move to ioremap_wc(), we can go back to strong UC semantics for ioremap() and ioremap_nocache(). To avoid attribute aliasing issues, pci_mmap_page_range() will also use UC_MINUS for default non write-combining mapping request. Next steps: a) change all the video drivers using ioremap() or ioremap_nocache() and adding WC MTTR using mttr_add() to ioremap_wc() b) for strict usage, we can go back to strong uc semantics for ioremap() and ioremap_nocache() after some grace period for completing step-a. c) user level X server needs to use the appropriate method for setting up WC mapping (like using resourceX_wc sysfs file instead of adding MTRR for WC and using /dev/mem or resourceX under /sys) Signed-off-by: NSuresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NVenkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
