It's forbidden to take the page_table_lock with the irq disabled
or if there's contention the IPIs (for tlb flushes) sent with
the page_table_lock held will never run leading to a deadlock.
Nobody takes the pgd_lock from irq context so the _irqsave can be

Xen want page table pages read only.
But the initial page table (from head_*.S) live in .data or .bss.
That was broken by 64edc8ed5f. There is

This patch expands functionality of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to set main
(static) kernel data area as NX.
The following steps are taken to achieve this:
1. Linker script is adjusted so .text always starts and ends on a page bound
2. Linker script is adjusted so .rodata always start and end on a page boundary
3. NX is set for all pages from _etext through _end in mark_rodata_ro.
4. free_init_pages() sets released memory NX in arch/x86/mm/init.c
5. bios rom is set to x when pcibios is used.
The results of patch application may be observed in the diff of kernel page
table dumps:

This patch fixes a bug in try_preserve_large_page() which may
result in improper large page preservation and improper
application of page attributes to the memory area outside of the
original change request.
More specifically, the problem manifests itself when set_memory_*()
is called for several pages at the beginning of the large page and
try_preserve_large_page() erroneously concludes that the change can
be applied to whole large page.
The fix consists of 3 parts:
1. Addition of "required" protection attributes in
static_protections(), so .data and .bss can be guaranteed to
stay "RW"
2. static_protections() is now called for every small
page within large page to determine compatibility of new
protection attributes (instead of just small pages within the
requested range).
3. Large page can be preserved only if attribute change is
large-page-aligned and covers whole large page.
-v1: Try_preserve_large_page() patch for Linux 2.6.34-rc2
-v2: Replaced pfn check with address check for kernel rw-data

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

We currently enforce the !RW mapping for the kernel mapping that maps
holes between different text, rodata and data sections. However, kernel
identity mappings will have different RWX permissions to the pages mapping to
text and to the pages padding (which are freed) the text, rodata sections.
Hence kernel identity mappings will be broken to smaller pages. For 64-bit,
kernel text and kernel identity mappings are different, so we can enable
protection checks that come with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, as well as retain 2MB
large page mappings for kernel text.
Konrad reported a boot failure with the Linux Xen paravirt guest because of
this. In this paravirt guest case, the kernel text mapping and the kernel
identity mapping share the same page-table pages. Thus forcing the !RW mapping
for some of the kernel mappings also cause the kernel identity mappings to be
read-only resulting in the boot failure. Linux Xen paravirt guest also
uses 4k mappings and don't use 2M mapping.
Fix this issue and retain large page performance advantage for native kernels
by not working hard and not enforcing !RW for the kernel text mapping,
if the current mapping is already using small page mapping.

kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to

attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for

We should delay (to forbid the write attribute) and enforce only
after the kernel has mapped the text as read-only.

The commit 74e081797b
x86-64: align RODATA kernel section to 2MB with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
prevents text sections from becoming read/write using set_memory_rw.
The dynamic ftrace changes all text pages to read/write just before
converting the calls to tracing to nops, and vice versa.
I orginally just added a flag to allow this transaction when ftrace
did the change, but I also found that when the CPA testing was running
it would remove the read/write as well, and ftrace does not do the text
conversion on boot up, and the CPA changes caused the dynamic tracer
to fail on self tests.
The current solution I have is to simply not to prevent
change_page_attr from setting the RW bit for kernel text pages.

CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops the large pages spanning boundaries of kernel
text/rodata/data to small 4KB pages as they are mapped with different
attributes (text as RO, RODATA as RO and NX etc).
On x86_64, preserve the large page mappings for kernel text/rodata/data
boundaries when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. This is done by allowing the
RODATA section to be hugepage aligned and having same RWX attributes
for the 2MB page boundaries
Extra Memory pages padding the sections will be freed during the end of the boot
and the kernel identity mappings will have different RWX permissions compared to
the kernel text mappings.
Kernel identity mappings to these physical pages will be mapped with smaller
pages but large page mappings are still retained for kernel text,rodata,data
mappings.

Fix trivial conflict as by Tejun Heo in kernel/sched.c
Ever since we enabled GEM, the pre-9xx chipsets (particularly 865) have had
serious stability issues. Back in May a wbinvd was added to the DRM to
work around much of the problem. Some failure remained -- easily visible
by dragging a window around on an X -retro desktop, or by looking at bugzilla.
The chipset flush was on the right track -- hitting the right amount of
memory, and it appears to be the only way to flush on these chipsets, but the
flush page was mapped uncached. As a result, the writes trying to clear the
writeback cache ended up bypassing the cache, and not flushing anything! The
wbinvd would flush out other writeback data and often cause the data we wanted
to get flushed, but not always. By removing the setting of the page to UC
and instead just clflushing the data we write to try to flush it, we get the
desired behavior with no wbinvd.
This exports clflush_cache_range(), which was laying around and happened to
basically match the code I was otherwise going to copy from the DRM.

Changeset 3869c4aa18
that went in after 2.6.30-rc1 was a seemingly small change to _set_memory_wc()
to make it complaint with SDM requirements. But, introduced a nasty bug, which
can result in crash and/or strange corruptions when set_memory_wc is used.
One such crash reported here
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/30/94
Actually, that changeset introduced two bugs.
* change_page_attr_set() takes &addr as first argument and can the addr value
might have changed on return, even for single page change_page_attr_set()
call. That will make the second change_page_attr_set() in this routine
operate on unrelated addr, that can eventually cause strange corruptions
and bad page state crash.
* The second change_page_attr_set() call, before setting _PAGE_CACHE_WC, should
clear the earlier _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS, as otherwise cache attribute will not
be WC (will be UC instead).
The patch below fixes both these problems. Sending a single patch to fix both
the problems, as the change is to the same line of code. The change to have a
addr_copy is not very clean. But, it is simpler than making more changes
through various routines in pageattr.c.

case that helped us root cause the problem.

Generalize and move x86 setup_pcpu_lpage() into
pcpu_lpage_first_chunk(). setup_pcpu_lpage() now is a simple wrapper
around the generalized version. Other than taking size parameters and
using arch supplied callbacks to allocate/free/map memory,
pcpu_lpage_first_chunk() is identical to the original implementation.
This simplifies arch code and will help converting more archs to
dynamic percpu allocator.
While at it, factor out pcpu_calc_fc_sizes() which is common to
pcpu_embed_first_chunk() and pcpu_lpage_first_chunk().

regions with different attributes which isn't allowed and known to
cause subtle data corruption in certain cases.
This can be handled in simliar manner to the x86_64 highmap alias.
pageattr code should detect if the target pages have PMD alias and
split the PMD alias and synchronize the attributes.
pcpur allocator is updated to keep the allocated PMD pages map sorted
in ascending address order and provide pcpu_lpage_remapped() function
which binary searches the array to determine whether the given address
is aliased and if so to which address. pageattr is updated to use
pcpu_lpage_remapped() to detect the PMD alias and split it up as
necessary from cpa_process_alias().
Jan Beulich spotted the original problem and incorrect usage of vaddr
instead of laddr for lookup.
With this, lpage percpu allocator should work correctly. Re-enable
it.

As per SDM, there should not be any aliasing of a WC with any cacheable
type across CPUs. That is if one CPU is changing the identity map
memtype to _WC, no other CPU at the time of this change should not have a
TLB for this page that carries a WB attribute. SDM suggests to make the
page not present. But for that we will have to handle any page faults
that can potentially happen due to these pages being not present.
Other way to deal with this without having any WB mapping is to change
the page first to UC and then to WC. This ensures that we meet the SDM
requirement of no cacheable alais to WC page. This also has same or
lower overhead than marking the page not present and making it present
later.

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. ]

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
58dab916df) 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. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)
