We are burrying direct access to MTRR code support on x86 in order to take advantage of PAT. In the future, we also want to make the default behaviour of ioremap_nocache() to use strong UC, use of mtrr_add() on those systems would make write-combining void. In order to help both enable us to later make strong UC default and in order to phase out direct MTRR access code port the driver over to arch_phys_wc_add() and annotate that the device driver requires systems to boot with PAT disabled, with the 'nopat' kernel parameter. This is a workable compromise given that the ipath device driver powers the old HTX bus cards that only work in AMD systems, while the newer IB/qib device driver powers all PCI-e cards. The ipath device driver is obsolete, hardware is hard to find and because of this its a reasonable compromise to require users of ipath to boot with 'nopat'. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

The pmem driver maps NVDIMM uncacheable so that we don't lose data which hasn't reached non-volatile storage in the case of a crash.

As set_memory_wb() calls free_ram_pages_type(), which then calls set_page_memtype() with -1, _PGMT_DEFAULT is used for tracking the WB type. _PGMT_WB is defined but unused. Thus, rename _PGMT_DEFAULT to _PGMT_WB to clarify the usage, and release the slot used by _PGMT_WB. Furthermore, change free_ram_pages_type() to call set_page_memtype() with _PGMT_WB, and get_page_memtype() to return _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB for _PGMT_WB. Then, define _PGMT_WT in the freed slot. This allows set_page_memtype() to track the WT type.

Add ioremap_wt() to all arch-specific asm/io.h headers which define ioremap_wc() locally. These headers do not include <asm-generic/iomap.h>. Some of them include <asm-generic/io.h>, but ioremap_wt() is defined for consistency since they define all ioremap_xxx locally. In all architectures without Write-Through support, ioremap_wt() is defined indentical to ioremap_nocache(). frv and m68k already have ioremap_writethrough(). On those we add ioremap_wt() indetical to ioremap_writethrough() and defines ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WT in both architectures. The ioremap_wt() interface is exported to drivers.

__ioremap_caller() calls reserve_memtype() and the passed down @new_pcm contains the actual page cache type it reserved in the success case. is_new_memtype_allowed() verifies if converting to the new page cache type is allowed when @pcm (the requested type) is different from @new_pcm. When WT is requested, the caller expects that writes are ordered and uncached. Therefore, enhance is_new_memtype_allowed() to disallow the following cases: - If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WB - If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WC Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Elliott@hp.com Cc: H.

Assign Write-Through type to the PA7 slot in the PAT MSR when the processor is not affected by PAT errata. The PA7 slot is chosen to improve robustness in the presence of errata that might cause the high PAT bit to be ignored. This way a buggy PA7 slot access will hit the PA3 slot, which is UC, so at worst we lose performance without causing a correctness issue. The following Intel processors are affected by the PAT errata. Errata CPUID ---------------------------------------------------- Pentium 2, A52 family 0x6, model 0x5 Pentium 3, E27 family 0x6, model 0x7, 0x8 Pentium 3 Xenon, G26 family 0x6, model 0x7, 0x8, 0xa Pentium M, Y26 family 0x6, model 0x9 Pentium M 90nm, X9 family 0x6, model 0xd Pentium 4, N46 family 0xf, model 0x0 Instead of making sharp boundary checks, we remain conservative and exclude all Pentium 2, 3, M and 4 family processors. For those, _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WT is redirected to UC- per the default setup in __cachemode2pte_tbl[].

Nothing in <asm/io.h> uses anything from <linux/vmalloc.h>, so remove it from there and fix up the resulting build problems triggered on x86 {64|32}-bit {def|allmod|allno}configs. The breakages were triggering in places where x86 builds relied on vmalloc() facilities but did not include <linux/vmalloc.h> explicitly and relied on the implicit inclusion via <asm/io.h>. Also add: - <linux/init.h> to <linux/io.h> - <asm/pgtable_types> to <asm/io.h> ... which were two other implicit header file dependencies.

There is not enough motivation to convert these drivers over to use PAT properly, the compromise reached is to let drivers that cannot be ported to PAT check if PAT was enabled and if so fail on probe with a recommendation to boot with the "nopat" kernel parameter.

We use pat_enabled in x86-specific code to see if PAT is enabled or not but we're granting full access to it even though readers do not need to set it. If, for instance, we granted access to it to modules later they then could override the variable setting... no bueno. This renames pat_enabled to a new static variable __pat_enabled. Folks are redirected to use pat_enabled() now. Code that sets this can only be internal to pat.c. Apart from the early kernel parameter "nopat" to disable PAT, we also have a few cases that disable it later and make use of a helper pat_disable(). It is wrapped under an ifdef but since that code cannot run unless PAT was enabled its not required to wrap it with ifdefs, unwrap that. Likewise, since "nopat" doesn't really change non-PAT systems just remove that ifdef as well. Although we could add and use an early_param_off(), these helpers don't use __read_mostly but we want to keep __read_mostly for __pat_enabled as this is a hot path -- upon boot, for instance, a simple guest may see ~4k accesses to pat_enabled(). Since __read_mostly early boot params are not that common we don't add a helper for them just yet. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

It is possible to enable CONFIG_MTRR and CONFIG_X86_PAT and end up with a system with MTRR functionality disabled but PAT functionality enabled. This can happen, for instance, when the Xen hypervisor is used where MTRRs are not supported but PAT is. This can happen on Linux as of commit 47591df5 ("xen: Support Xen pv-domains using PAT") by Juergen, introduced in v3.19. Technically, we should assume the proper CPU bits would be set to disable MTRRs but we can't always rely on this. At least on the Xen Hypervisor, for instance, only X86_FEATURE_MTRR was disabled as of Xen 4.4 through Xen commit 586ab6a [0], but not X86_FEATURE_K6_MTRR, X86_FEATURE_CENTAUR_MCR, or X86_FEATURE_CYRIX_ARR for instance. Roger Pau Monné has clarified though that although this is technically true we will never support PVH on these CPU types so Xen has no need to disable these bits on those systems. As per Roger, AMD K6, Centaur and VIA chips don't have the necessary hardware extensions to allow running PVH guests [1]. As per Toshi it is also possible for the BIOS to disable MTRR support, in such cases get_mtrr_state() would update the MTRR state as per the BIOS, we need to propagate this information as well. x86 MTRR code relies on quite a bit of checks for mtrr_if being set to check to see if MTRRs did get set up. Instead, lets provide a generic getter for that. This also adds a few checks where they were not before which could potentially safeguard ourselves against incorrect usage of MTRR where this was not desirable. Where possible match error codes as if MTRRs were disabled on arch/x86/include/asm/mtrr.h. Lastly, since disabling MTRRs can happen at run time and we could end up with PAT enabled, best record now in our logs when MTRRs are disabled.

This patch adds the argument 'uniform' to mtrr_type_lookup(), which gets set to 1 when a given range is covered uniformly by MTRRs, i.e. the range is fully covered by a single MTRR entry or the default type. Change pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to honor the 'uniform' flag to see if it is safe to create a huge page mapping in the range. This allows them to create a huge page mapping in a range covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory type. It also detects a non-optimal request properly. They continue to check with the WB type since it does not effectively change the uniform mapping even if a request spans multiple MTRR entries. pmd_set_huge() logs a warning message to a non-optimal request so that driver writers will be aware of such a case. Drivers should make a mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered by MTRRs.

MTRRs contain fixed and variable entries. mtrr_type_lookup() may repeatedly call __mtrr_type_lookup() to handle a request that overlaps with variable entries. However, __mtrr_type_lookup() also handles the fixed entries, which do not have to be repeated. Therefore, this patch creates separate functions, mtrr_type_lookup_fixed() and mtrr_type_lookup_variable(), to handle the fixed and variable ranges respectively. The patch also updates the function headers to clarify the return values and output argument. It updates comments to clarify that the repeating is necessary to handle overlaps with the default type, since overlaps with multiple entries alone can be handled without such repeating. There is no functional change in this patch.

'mtrr_state.enabled' contains the FE (fixed MTRRs enabled) and E (MTRRs enabled) flags in MSR_MTRRdefType. Intel SDM, section 11.11.2.1, defines these flags as follows: - All MTRRs are disabled when the E flag is clear. The FE flag has no affect when the E flag is clear. - The default type is enabled when the E flag is set. - MTRR variable ranges are enabled when the E flag is set. - MTRR fixed ranges are enabled when both E and FE flags are set. MTRR state checks in __mtrr_type_lookup() do not match with SDM. Hence, this patch makes the following changes: - The current code detects MTRRs disabled when both E and FE flags are clear in mtrr_state.enabled. Fix to detect MTRRs disabled when the E flag is clear. - The current code does not check if the FE bit is set in mtrr_state.enabled when looking at the fixed entries. Fix to check the FE flag. - The current code returns the default type when the E flag is clear in mtrr_state.enabled. However, the default type is UC when the E flag is clear. Remove the code as this case is handled as MTRR disabled with the 1st change. In addition, this patch defines the E and FE flags in mtrr_state.enabled as follows. - FE flag: MTRR_STATE_MTRR_FIXED_ENABLED - E flag: MTRR_STATE_MTRR_ENABLED print_mtrr_state() and x86_get_mtrr_mem_range() are also updated accordingly.

When an MTRR entry is inclusive to a requested range, i.e. the start and end of the request are not within the MTRR entry range but the range contains the MTRR entry entirely: range_start ... [mtrr_start ... mtrr_end] ... range_end __mtrr_type_lookup() ignores such a case because both start_state and end_state are set to zero. This bug can cause the following issues: 1) reserve_memtype() tracks an effective memory type in case a request type is WB (ex. /dev/mem blindly uses WB). Missing to track with its effective type causes a subsequent request to map the same range with the effective type to fail. 2) pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() check if a requested range has any overlap with MTRRs. Missing to detect an overlap may cause a performance penalty or undefined behavior. This patch fixes the bug by adding a new flag, 'inclusive', to detect the inclusive case. This case is then handled in the same way as end_state:1 since the first region is the same. With this fix, __mtrr_type_lookup() handles the inclusive case properly.

Pull btrfs fixes from Chris Mason: "I fixed up a regression from 4.0 where conversion between different raid levels would sometimes bail out without converting. Filipe tracked down a race where it was possible to double allocate chunks on the drive. Mark has a fix for fiemap. All three will get bundled off for stable as well" * 'for-linus-4.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: Btrfs: fix regression in raid level conversion Btrfs: fix racy system chunk allocation when setting block group ro btrfs: clear 'ret' in btrfs_check_shared() loop

From Eric Dumzaet. 9) Input packet processing can race with inetdev_destroy() teardown, fix potential OOPS in ip_error() by explicitly testing whether the inetdev is still attached. From Eric W Biederman. 10) MLDv2 parser in bridge multicast code breaks too early while parsing. Fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo. 11) Asking for settings on non-zero PHYID doesn't work because we do not import the command structure from the user and use the PHYID provided there.
