Boris Ostrovsky 26564600c9 x86/mm: Flush lazy MMU when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set page table updates made by
kernel_map_pages() are not made visible (via TLB flush)
immediately if lazy MMU is on. In environments that support lazy
MMU (e.g. Xen) this may lead to fatal page faults, for example,
when zap_pte_range() needs to allocate pages in
__tlb_remove_page() -> tlb_next_batch().

Andrea Arcangeli f76cfa3c24 x86/mm/cpa: Convert noop to functional fix
Commit:

  a8aed3e075 ("x86/mm/pageattr: Prevent PSE and GLOABL leftovers to confuse pmd/pte_present and pmd_huge")

introduced a valid fix but one location that didn't trigger the bug that
lead to finding those (small) problems, wasn't updated using the
right variable.

The wrong variable was also initialized for no good reason, that
may have been the source of the confusion. Remove the noop
initialization accordingly.

Commit a8aed3e075 also erroneously removed one canon_pgprot pass meant
to clear pmd bitflags not supported in hardware by older CPUs, that
automatically gets corrected by this patch too by applying it to the right
variable in the new location.

Borislav Petkov 5952886bfe x86/mm/cpa: Cleanup split_large_page() and its callee
So basically we're generating the pte_t * from a struct page and
we're handing it down to the __split_large_page() internal version
which then goes and gets back struct page * from it because it
needs it.

Change the caller to hand down struct page * directly and the
callee can compute the pte_t itself.

Net save is one virt_to_page() call and simpler code. While at
it, make __split_large_page() static.

Andrea Arcangeli a8aed3e075 x86/mm/pageattr: Prevent PSE and GLOABL leftovers to confuse pmd/pte_present and pmd_huge
Without this patch any kernel code that reads kernel memory in
non present kernel pte/pmds (as set by pageattr.c) will crash.

With this kernel code:

static struct page *crash_page;
static unsigned long *crash_address;
[..]
	crash_page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, 9);
	crash_address = page_address(crash_page);
	if (set_memory_np((unsigned long)crash_address, 1))
		printk("set_memory_np failure\n");
[..]

The kernel will crash if inside the "crash tool" one would try
to read the memory at the not present address.

crash> p crash_address
crash_address = $8 = (long unsigned int *) 0xffff88023c000000
crash> rd 0xffff88023c000000
[ *lockup* ]

The lockup happens because _PAGE_GLOBAL and _PAGE_PROTNONE
shares the same bit, and pageattr leaves _PAGE_GLOBAL set on a
kernel pte which is then mistaken as _PAGE_PROTNONE (so
pte_present returns true by mistake and the kernel fault then
gets confused and loops).

With THP the same can happen after we taught pmd_present to
check _PAGE_PROTNONE and _PAGE_PSE in commit
027ef6c878 ("mm: thp: fix pmd_present for
split_huge_page and PROT_NONE with THP").  THP has the same
problem with _PAGE_GLOBAL as the 4k pages, but it also has a
problem with _PAGE_PSE, which must be cleared too.

After the patch is applied copy_user correctly returns -EFAULT
and doesn't lockup anymore.

crash> p crash_address
crash_address = $9 = (long unsigned int *) 0xffff88023c000000
crash> rd 0xffff88023c000000
rd: read error: kernel virtual address: ffff88023c000000  type:

Wen Congyang ae9aae9eda memory-hotplug: common APIs to support page tables hot-remove
When memory is removed, the corresponding pagetables should alse be
removed.  This patch introduces some common APIs to support vmemmap
pagetable and x86_64 architecture direct mapping pagetable removing.

All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed if some
pages used as PGD/PUD include not only removed memory but also other
memory.  So this patch uses the following way to check whether a page
can be freed or not.

1) When removing memory, the page structs of the removed memory are
   filled with 0FD.

2) All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be
   cleared.  In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed.

For direct mapping pages, update direct_pages_count[level] when we freed
their pagetables.  And do not free the pages again because they were
freed when offlining.

For vmemmap pages, free the pages and their pagetables.

For larger pages, do not split them into smaller ones because there is
no way to know if the larger page has been split.  As a result, there is
no way to decide when to split.  We deal the larger pages in the
following way:

1) For direct mapped pages, all the pages were freed when they were
   offlined.  And since menmory offline is done section by section, all
   the memory ranges being removed are aligned to PAGE_SIZE.  So only need
   to deal with unaligned pages when freeing vmemmap pages.

2) For vmemmap pages being used to store page_struct, if part of the
   larger page is still in use, just fill the unused part with 0xFD.  And
   when the whole page is fulfilled with 0xFD, then free the larger page.

Dave Hansen d765653445 x86, mm: Create slow_virt_to_phys()
This is necessary because __pa() does not work on some kinds of
memory, like vmalloc() or the alloc_remap() areas on 32-bit
NUMA systems.  We have some functions to do conversions _like_
this in the vmalloc() code (like vmalloc_to_page()), but they
do not work on sizes other than 4k pages.  We would potentially
need to be able to handle all the page sizes that we use for
the kernel linear mapping (4k, 2M, 1G).

In practice, on 32-bit NUMA systems, the percpu areas get stuck
in the alloc_remap() area.  Any __pa() call on them will break
and basically return garbage.

This patch introduces a new function slow_virt_to_phys(), which
walks the kernel page tables on x86 and should do precisely
the same logical thing as __pa(), but actually work on a wider
range of memory.  It should work on the normal linear mapping,
vmalloc(), kmap(), etc...

Linus Torvalds 11520e5e7c Revert "x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock (again)"
This reverts commit bd52276fa1 ("x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with

  da5a108d05b4: "x86/kernel: remove tboot 1:1 page table creation code"

  185034e72d59: "x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls")

as they all depend semantically on commit 53b87cf088 ("x86, mm:
Include the entire kernel memory map in trampoline_pgd") that got
reverted earlier due to the problems it caused.

This was pointed out by Yinghai Lu, and verified by me on my Macbook Air
that uses EFI.

Alexander Duyck fc8d782677 x86: Use __pa_symbol instead of __pa on C visible symbols
When I made an attempt at separating __pa_symbol and __pa I found that there
were a number of cases where __pa was used on an obvious symbol.

I also caught one non-obvious case as _brk_start and _brk_end are based on the
address of __brk_base which is a C visible symbol.

In mark_rodata_ro I was able to reduce the overhead of kernel symbol to
virtual memory translation by using a combination of __va(__pa_symbol())
instead of page_address(virt_to_page()).

Jan Beulich bd52276fa1 x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock (again)
Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the
{g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus
incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead.

Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't
enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in
physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual
addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions
(which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so
instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode()
ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling
efi-get-time in physical mode).

Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable()
requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be
avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this
function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()).

Also make the two EFI functions in question here static -
they're not being referenced elsewhere.

History:

    This commit was originally merged as bacef661ac ("x86-64/efi:
    Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock") but it resulted in some
    ASUS machines no longer booting due to a firmware bug, and so was
    reverted in f026cfa82f. A pre-emptive fix for the buggy ASUS
    firmware was merged in 03a1c254975e ("x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable
    mapping for virtual EFI calls") so now this patch can be
    reapplied.

Matthieu CASTET f12d3d04e8 x86, nx: Don't force pages RW when setting NX bits
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
absolutely no reason to force these pages RW after they have already
been marked RO.

Matthieu Castet 5bd5a45266 x86: Add NX protection for kernel data
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:

matthieu castet 64edc8ed5f x86: Fix improper large page preservation
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

Setting single memory pages at a time to wc takes a lot time in cache flush. To
reduce number of cache flush set_pages_array_wc and set_memory_array_wc can be
used to set multiple pages to WC with single cache flush.

This improves allocation performance for wc cached pages in drm/ttm.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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.

Suresh Siddha 281ff33b7c x86_64, cpa: Don't work hard in preserving kernel 2M mappings when using 4K already
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.

Steven Rostedt reported that we are unconditionally making the
kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to
the kernel text area for setting/clearing any page table
attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for
the kernel text mapping that is set at compile time.

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

Steven Rostedt 883242dd0e tracing: allow to change permissions for text with dynamic ftrace enabled
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.

Suresh Siddha 74e081797b x86-64: align RODATA kernel section to 2MB with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
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.

Eric Anholt e517a5e970 agp/intel: Fix the pre-9xx chipset flush.
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.

Jack Steiner fa526d0d64 x86, pat: Fix cacheflush address in change_page_attr_set_clr()
Fix address passed to cpa_flush_range() when changing page
attributes from WB to UC. The address (*addr) is
modified by __change_page_attr_set_clr(). The result is that
the pages being flushed start at the _end_ of the changed range
instead of the beginning.

This should be considered for 2.6.30-stable and 2.6.31-stable.

Conflicts in core and arch percpu codes are mostly from commit
ed78e1e078dd44249f88b1dd8c76dafb39567161 which substituted many
num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids.  As for-next branch has moved all
the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved
from arch code to mm/percpu.c.

Thomas Hellstrom 8523acfe40 x86: Fix CPA memtype reserving in the set_pages_array*() cases
The code was incorrectly reserving memtypes using the page
virtual address instead of the physical address. Furthermore,
the code was not ignoring highmem pages as it ought to.

( upstream does not pass in highmem pages yet - but upcoming
  graphics code will do it and there's no reason to not handle
  this properly in the CPA APIs.)

Pallipadi, Venkatesh bdc6340f4e x86, pat: Fix set_memory_wc related corruption
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.

A huge thanks to Jerome for reporting this problem and providing a simple test
case that helped us root cause the problem.

Tejun Heo 8c4bfc6e88 x86,percpu: generalize lpage first chunk allocator
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().

Tejun Heo e59a1bb2fd x86: fix pageattr handling for lpage percpu allocator and re-enable it
lpage allocator aliases a PMD page for each cpu and returns whatever
is unused to the page allocator.  When the pageattr of the recycled
pages are changed, this makes the two aliases point to the overlapping
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.

wbinvd() however, should be done on all CPUs.
