From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
Older x86-32 processors do not support global mappings (PGD), so must
only use it if the processor supports it.
The _PAGE_KERNEL* flags always have _PAGE_KERNEL set, since logically
we always want it set.
This is OK even on processors which do not support PGD, since all
_PAGE flags are masked with __supported_pte_mask before being turned
into a real in-pagetable pte. On 32-bit systems, __supported_pte_mask
is initialized to not contain _PAGE_GLOBAL, and it is then added if
the CPU is found to support it.
The x86-32 code used to use __PAGE_KERNEL/__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for this
purpose, but they're now redundant and can be removed.

Consistently set _PAGE_GLOBAL in _PAGE_KERNEL flags. This makes 32-
and 64-bit code consistent, and removes some special cases where
__PAGE_KERNEL* did not have _PAGE_GLOBAL set, causing confusion as a
result of the inconsistencies.
This patch only affects x86-64, which generally always supports PGD.
The x86-32 patch is next.

Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to
/proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other
memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even
outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the
kernel will run slower.
This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how
many are split.
Useful for general insight into the kernel.

Add pte_flags() to extract the flags from a pte. This is a special
case of pte_val() which is only guaranteed to return the pte's flags
correctly; the page number may be corrupted or missing.
The intent is to allow paravirt implementations to return pte flags
without having to do any translation of the page number (most notably,
Xen).

Rather than making _PAGE_* constants signed, and then relying on
sign-extension to make sure that masks derived from them are wide
enough, just explicitly type them pteval_t. This guarantees that they
and any derived values are the right size for the current pte format.
The reliance on sign extension is fragile, and invokes some very
subtle corners of the C type system.

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to
implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:
vm_normal_page()
{
...
if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
return NULL;
#else
if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
return NULL;
#endif
goto out;
}
...
}
This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
slightly better code generation in the process):
vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
return NULL;
return pte_page(pte);
#else
...
#endif
}
And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.
So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.
BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined
for 32-bit.
There are a couple of follow-on changes from this:
- KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS. The
definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64,
since it can have two different user address-space configurations.
I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful
for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations.
- USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar
purposes. Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it
completely unused, and so I removed it.

Introduce phys_mem_access_prot_allowed(), which checks whether the mapping
is possible, without any conflicts and returns success or failure based on that.
phys_mem_access_prot() by itself does not allow failure case. This ability
to return error is needed for PAT where we may have aliasing conflicts.
x86 setup __HAVE_PHYS_MEM_ACCESS_PROT and move x86 specific code out of
/dev/mem into arch specific area.

Sets up pat_init() infrastructure.
PAT MSR has following setting.
PAT
|PCD
||PWT
|||
000 WB _PAGE_CACHE_WB
001 WC _PAGE_CACHE_WC
010 UC- _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS
011 UC _PAGE_CACHE_UC
We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC.
UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem
users(X).
reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free
mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and
not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result
of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT.
pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr
are same.

fix the 3D performance drop reported at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328
fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with
WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both
ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This
breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead
of expected WC.
The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the
absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the
fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API.
We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now,
revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.

The pte_* modifier functions that cleared bits dropped the NX bit on 32bit
PAE because they only worked in int, but NX is in bit 63. Fix that
by adding appropiate casts so that the arithmetic happens as long long

I decided to just use 64bit arithmetic instead of open coding like
pte_modify() because gcc should generate good enough code for that now.

When the _PAGE_FOO constants are defined as (1ul << _PAGE_BIT_FOO), they
become unsigned longs. In 32-bit PAE mode, these end up being
implicitly cast to 64-bit types when used to manipulate a pte, and
because they're unsigned the top 32-bits are 0, destroying the upper
bits of the pte.
When _PAGE_FOO constants are given a signed integer type, the cast to
64-bits will sign-extend so that the upper bits are all ones,
preserving the upper pte bits in manipulations.
Explain this in a prominent place.

Put all the defines for mapping pagetable operations to their native
versions (for the non-paravirt case) into one place. Make the
corresponding changes to paravirt.h.
The tricky part here is that when a pagetable entry can't be updated
atomically (ie, 32-bit PAE), we need special handlers for pte_clear,
set_pte_atomic and set_pte_present. However, the other two modes
don't need special handling for these, and can use a common
set_pte(_at) path.
