This patch fixes some bugs of EFI memory handing code. - On x86_64, it is possible that EFI memory map can not be mapped via identity map, so efi_map_memmap is removed, just use early_ioremap. - On i386, the EFI memory map mapping take effect cross paging_init, so it is not necessary to use efi_map_memmap. - EFI memory map is unmapped in efi_enter_virtual_mode to avoid early_ioremap leak.

This patch makes reboot_type of BOOT_EFI is used on i386 too. Because correpsonding reboot code of i386 and x86_64 is merged. Signed-off-by:

This changes the oops dumping format for page faults to be similar between X86_32 and 64. This is the first user of printk_address on X86_32. Signed-off-by:

Yes! A mere 120 c_p_a() fixing and rewriting patches later, we are now confident that we can enable UC by default for ioremap(), on x86 too. Every other architectures was doing this already. Doing so makes Linux more robust against MTRR mixups (which might go unnoticed if BIOS writers test other OSs only - where PAT might override bad MTRRs defaults). Signed-off-by:

Cleanup the address calculations, which are necessary to identify the high/low alias mappings of the kernel on 64 bit machines. Instead of calling __pa/__va back and forth, calculate the physical address once and base the other calculations on it. Add understandable constants so we can use the already available within() helper. Also add comments, which help mere mortals to understand what this code does. Signed-off-by:

make CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC universally available. CONFIG_HIBERNATION and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS was disabling it, for no particular reason. If there are any unfixed bugs here we'll fix it, but do not disable vital debugging facilities like that .. Signed-off-by:

It looks like a mismerge put the rodata self-check in the wrong spot; move it to the right place after marking the .rodata section read only. Signed-off-by:

clflush is sufficient to be issued on one CPU. The invalidation is broadcast throughout the coherence domain. Signed-off-by:

clflush is an unordered operation with respect to other memory traffic, including other CLFLUSH instructions. This needs proper fencing with mfence. Signed-off-by:

The function name global_flush_tlb() suggests something different from what the function really does. Rename it to cpa_flush_all(), which is an understandable counterpart to cpa_flush_range(). no global visibility of the old API anymore. Signed-off-by:

Use clflush on CPUs which support this. clflush is only used when the page attribute operation has been successful. On CPUs which do not support clflush and in the case of error the old fashioned global_flush_tlb() is called. Signed-off-by:

To avoid the modification of the flush code for the clflush implementation, move the flush into the set and clear functions and provide helper functions for the debugging code. Signed-off-by:

Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd. I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly exception table sorting stuff. From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/ once that patch gets merged into mainline. (I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll wait with that until init.c is unified) As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

When we free initmem, various rodata and CPA checks may have left memory read only.. this patch ensures that the memory is writable before we free it. Signed-off-by:
-
Arjan van de Ven authored
In Ingo's testing, he found a bug in the CPA selftest code. What would happen is that the test would call change_page_attr_addr on a range of memory, part of which was read only, part of which was writable. The only thing the test wanted to change was the global bit... What actually happened was that the selftest would take the permissions of the first page, and then the change_page_attr_addr call would then set the permissions of the entire range to this first page. In the rodata section case, this resulted in pages after the .rodata becoming read only... which made the kernel rather unhappy in many interesting ways. This is just another example of how dangerous the cpa API is (was); this patch changes the test to use the incremental clear/set APIs instead, and it changes the clear/set implementation to work on a 1 page at a time basis.

The set_memory_* and set_pages_* family of API's currently requires the callers to do a global tlb flush after the function call; forgetting this is a very nasty deathtrap. This patch moves the global tlb flush into each of the callers Signed-off-by:

change_page_attr_add is only used in pageattr.c now, so we can make this function static. change_page_attr() isn't used anywere at all anymore; this function is a really bad API anyway so just remove the bloat entirely. Signed-off-by:

page_is_ram has a FIXME since ages, which reminds to sanity check the BIOS area between 640k and 1M, which is sometimes falsely reported as RAM in the e820 tables. Implement the sanity check. Move the BIOS range defines from pageattr.c into e820.h to avoid duplicate defines. Signed-off-by:
