The following BUG_ON() crash was reported on QEMU/i386: kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:79! Call Trace: phys_mem_access_prot_allowed mmap_mem ? mmap_region mmap_region do_mmap vm_mmap_pgoff SyS_mmap_pgoff do_int80_syscall_32 entry_INT80_32 after commit: edfe63ec ("x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions") PAT is now set to disabled state when MTRRs are disabled. Thus, reactivating the __pa(high_memory) check in phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is set, __pa() calls __phys_addr(), which in turn calls slow_virt_to_phys() for 'high_memory'. Because 'high_memory' is set to (the max direct mapped virt addr + 1), it is not a valid virtual address. Hence, slow_virt_to_phys() returns 0 and hit the BUG_ON. Using __pa_nodebug() instead of __pa() will fix this BUG_ON. However, this code block, originally written for Pentiums and earlier, is no longer adequate since a 32-bit Xen guest has MTRRs disabled and supports ZONE_HIGHMEM. In this setup, this code sets UC attribute for accessing RAM in high memory range. Delete this code block as it has been unused for a long time.

Allowing user code to map the HPET is problematic. HPET implementations are notoriously buggy, and there are probably many machines on which even MMIO reads from bogus HPET addresses are problematic. We have a report that the Dell Precision M2800 with: ACPI: HPET 0x00000000C8FE6238 000038 (v01 DELL CBX3 01072009 AMI. 00000005) is either so slow when accessing the HPET or actually hangs in some regard, causing soft lockups to be reported if users do unexpected things to the HPET. The vclock HPET code has also always been a questionable speedup. Accessing an HPET is exceedingly slow (on the order of several microseconds), so the added overhead in requiring a syscall to read the HPET is a small fraction of the total code of accessing it. To avoid future problems, let's just delete the code entirely. In the long run, this could actually be a speedup. Waiman Long as a patch to optimize the case where multiple CPUs contend for the HPET, but that won't help unless all the accesses are mediated by the kernel.

Erratum 88 affects old AMD K8s, where a SWAPGS fails to cause an input dependency on GS. Therefore, we need to MFENCE before it. But that MFENCE is expensive and unnecessary on the remaining x86 CPUs out there so patch it out on the CPUs which don't require it.

ARCH_GET_FS and ARCH_GET_GS attempted to figure out the fsbase and gsbase respectively from saved thread state. This was wrong: fsbase and gsbase live in registers while a thread is running, not in memory. For reasons I can't fathom, the fsbase and gsbase code were different. Since neither was correct, I didn't try to figure out what the point of the difference was. Change it to simply read the MSRs. The code for reading the base for a remote thread is also completely wrong if the target thread uses its own descriptors (which is the case for all 32-bit threaded programs), but fixing that is a different story.

Xen supports PAT without MTRRs for its guests. In order to enable WC attribute, it was necessary for xen_start_kernel() to call pat_init_cache_modes() to update PAT table before starting guest kernel. Now that the kernel initializes PAT table to the BIOS handoff state when MTRR is disabled, this Xen-specific PAT init code is no longer necessary. Delete it from xen_start_kernel(). Also change __init_cache_modes() to a static function since PAT table should not be tweaked by other modules.

get_mtrr_state() calls pat_init() on BSP even if MTRR is disabled. This results in calling pat_init() on BSP only since APs do not call pat_init() when MTRR is disabled. This inconsistency between BSP and APs leads to undefined behavior. Make BSP's calling condition to pat_init() consistent with AP's, mtrr_ap_init() and mtrr_aps_init().

A Xorg failure on qemu32 was reported as a regression [1] caused by commit 9cd25aac ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled"). This patch fixes the Xorg crash. Negative effects of this regression were the following two failures [2] in Xorg on QEMU with QEMU CPU model "qemu32" (-cpu qemu32), which were triggered by the fact that its virtual CPU does not support MTRRs. #1. copy_process() failed in the check in reserve_pfn_range() copy_process copy_mm dup_mm dup_mmap copy_page_range track_pfn_copy reserve_pfn_range A WC map request was tracked as WC in memtype, which set a PTE as UC (pgprot) per __cachemode2pte_tbl[]. This led to this error in reserve_pfn_range() called from track_pfn_copy(), which obtained a pgprot from a PTE. It converts pgprot to page_cache_mode, which does not necessarily result in the original page_cache_mode since __cachemode2pte_tbl[] redirects multiple types to UC. #2. error path in copy_process() then hit WARN_ON_ONCE in untrack_pfn(). x86/PAT: Xorg:509 map pfn expected mapping type uncached- minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining Call Trace: dump_stack warn_slowpath_common ? untrack_pfn ? untrack_pfn warn_slowpath_null untrack_pfn ? __kunmap_atomic unmap_single_vma ? pagevec_move_tail_fn unmap_vmas exit_mmap mmput copy_process.part.47 _do_fork SyS_clone do_syscall_32_irqs_on entry_INT80_32 These negative effects are caused by two separate bugs, but they can be addressed in separate patches. Fixing the pat_init() issue described below addresses the root cause, and avoids Xorg to hit these cases. When the CPU does not support MTRRs, MTRR does not call pat_init(), which leaves PAT enabled without initializing PAT. This pat_init() issue is a long-standing issue, but manifested as issue #1 (and then hit issue #2) with the above-mentioned commit because the memtype now tracks cache attribute with 'page_cache_mode'. This pat_init() issue existed before the commit, but we used pgprot in memtype. Hence, we did not have issue #1 before. But WC request resulted in WT in effect because WC pgrot is actually WT when PAT is not initialized. This is not how it was designed to work. When PAT is set to disable properly, WC is converted to UC. The use of WT can result in a system crash if the target range does not support WT. Fortunately, nobody ran into such issue before. To fix this pat_init() issue, PAT code has been enhanced to provide pat_disable() interface. Call this interface when MTRRs are disabled. By setting PAT to disable properly, PAT bypasses the memtype check, and avoids issue #1.

In preparation for fixing a regression caused by: 9cd25aac ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled") ... PAT needs to provide an interface that prevents the OS from initializing the PAT MSR. PAT MSR initialization must be done on all CPUs using the specific sequence of operations defined in the Intel SDM. This requires MTRRs to be enabled since pat_init() is called as part of MTRR init from mtrr_rendezvous_handler(). Make pat_disable() as the interface that prevents the OS from initializing the PAT MSR. MTRR will call this interface when it cannot provide the SDM-defined sequence to initialize PAT. This also assures that pat_disable() called from pat_bsp_init() will set the PAT table properly when CPU does not support PAT.

In preparation for fixing a regression caused by: 9cd25aac ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled")' ... PAT needs to support a case that PAT MSR is initialized with a non-default value. When pat_init() is called and PAT is disabled, it initializes the PAT table with the BIOS default value. Xen, however, sets PAT MSR with a non-default value to enable WC. This causes inconsistency between the PAT table and PAT MSR when PAT is set to disable on Xen. Change pat_init() to handle the PAT disable cases properly. Add init_cache_modes() to handle two cases when PAT is set to disable. 1. CPU supports PAT: Set PAT table to be consistent with PAT MSR. 2. CPU does not support PAT: Set PAT table to be consistent with PWT and PCD bits in a PTE. Note, __init_cache_modes(), renamed from pat_init_cache_modes(), will be changed to a static function in a later patch.
