Applied fix by Andew Morton: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/8/88 - Fix `make headers_check'. AMD and Intel x86 CPU manuals state that it is the responsibility of system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors in Multi-Processing Environments. Quote from page 188 of the AMD64 System Programming manual (Volume 2): 7.6.5 MTRRs in Multi-Processing Environments "In multi-processing environments, the MTRRs located in all processors must characterize memory in the same way. Generally, this means that identical values are written to the MTRRs used by the processors." (short omission here) "Failure to do so may result in coherency violations or loss of atomicity. Processor implementations do not check the MTRR settings in other processors to ensure consistency. It is the responsibility of system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors." Current Linux MTRR code already implements the above in the case that the BIOS does not properly initialize MTRRs on the secondary processors, but the case where the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor are changed after Linux started to boot, before the initialsation of a secondary processor, is not handled yet. In this case, secondary processors are currently initialized by Linux with MTRRs which the boot processor had very early, when mtrr_bp_init() did run, but not with the MTRRs which the boot processor uses at the time when that secondary processors is actually booted, causing differing MTRR contents on the secondary processors. Such situation happens on Acer Ferrari 1000 and 5000 notebooks where the BIOS enables and sets AMD-specific IORR bits in the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor when it transitions the system into ACPI mode. The SMI handler of the BIOS does this in SMM, entered while Linux ACPI code runs acpi_enable(). Other occasions where the SMI handler of the BIOS may change bits in the MTRRs could occur as well. To initialize newly booted secodary processors with the fixed-range MTRRs which the boot processor uses at that time, this patch saves the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor before new secondary processors are started. When the secondary processors run their Linux initialisation code, their fixed-range MTRRs will be updated with the saved fixed-range MTRRs. If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_state as an empty statement because there is nothing to do. Possible TODOs: *) CPU-hotplugging outside of SMP suspend/resume is not yet tested with this patch. *) If, even in this case, an AP never runs i386/do_boot_cpu or x86_64/cpu_up, then the calls to mtrr_save_state() could be replaced by calls to mtrr_save_fixed_ranges(NULL) and mtrr_save_state() would not be needed. That would need either verification of the CPU-hotplug code or at least a test on a >2 CPU machine. *) The MTRRs of other running processors are not yet checked at this time but it might be interesting to syncronize the MTTRs of all processors before booting. That would be an incremental patch, but of rather low priority since there is no machine known so far which would require this. AK: moved prototypes on x86-64 around to fix warnings Signed-off-by:

In this current implementation which is used in other patches, mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() accepts a dummy void pointer because in the current implementation of one of these patches, this function may be called from smp_call_function_single() which requires that this function takes a void pointer argument. This function calls get_fixed_ranges(), passing mtrr_state.fixed_ranges which is the element of the static struct which stores our current backup of the fixed-range MTRR values which all CPUs shall be using. Because mtrr_save_fixed_ranges calls get_fixed_ranges after kernel initialisation time, __init needs to be removed from the declaration of get_fixed_ranges(). If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_fixed_ranges as an empty statement because there is nothing to do. AK: Moved prototypes for x86-64 around to fix warnings Signed-off-by:

Three cleanups: 1: ELF notes are never mapped, so there's no need to have any access flags in their phdr. 2: When generating them from asm, tell the assembler to use a SHT_NOTE section type. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this from C. 3: Use ANSI rather than traditional cpp behaviour to stringify the macro argument. Signed-off-by:

Convert VMI timer to use clock events, making it properly able to use the NO_HZ infrastructure. On UP systems, with no local APIC, we just continue to route these events through the PIT. On systems with a local APIC, or SMP, we provide a single source interrupt chip which creates the local timer IRQ. It actually gets delivered by the APIC hardware, but we don't want to use the same local APIC clocksource processing, so we create our own handler here. Signed-off-by:

No, just no. You do not use goto to skip a code block. You do not return an obvious variable from a singly-inlined function and give the function a return value. You don't put unexplained comments about kmalloc in code which doesn't do dynamic allocation. And you don't leave stray warnings around for no good reason. Also, when possible, it is better to use block scoped variables because gcc can sometime generate better code. Signed-off-by:

head.S creates the very initial pagetable for the kernel. This just maps enough space for the kernel itself, and an allocation bitmap. The amount of mapped memory is rounded up to 4Mbytes, and so this typically ends up mapping 8Mbytes of memory. When booting, pagetable_init() needs to create mappings for all lowmem, and the pagetables for these mappings are allocated from the free pages around the kernel in low memory. If the number of pagetable pages + kernel size exceeds head.S's initial mapping, it will end up faulting on an unmapped page. This will only happen with specific combinations of kernel size and memory size. This patch makes sure that head.S also maps enough space to fit the kernel pagetables as well as the kernel itself. It ends up using an additional two pages of unreclaimable memory. Signed-off-by:

This patch does a few small cleanups: - use PER_CPU_NAME to generate the names of per-cpu variables - use lea to add the per_cpu offset in PER_CPU(), because it doesn't affect condition flags - add PER_CPU_VAR which allows direct access to pre-cpu variables with the %fs: prefix on SMP.

Currently x86 (similar to x84-64) has a special per-cpu structure called "i386_pda" which can be easily and efficiently referenced via the %fs register. An ELF section is more flexible than a structure, allowing any piece of code to use this area. Indeed, such a section already exists: the per-cpu area. So this patch: (1) Removes the PDA and uses per-cpu variables for each current member. (2) Replaces the __KERNEL_PDA segment with __KERNEL_PERCPU. (3) Creates a per-cpu mirror of __per_cpu_offset called this_cpu_off, which can be used to calculate addresses for this CPU's variables. (4) Simplifies startup, because %fs doesn't need to be loaded with a special segment at early boot; it can be deferred until the first percpu area is allocated (or never for UP). The result is less code and one less x86-specific concept. Signed-off-by:Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by:

In shadow mode hypervisors, ptep_get_and_clear achieves the desired purpose of keeping the shadows in sync by issuing a native_get_and_clear, followed by a call to pte_update, which indicates the PTE has been modified. Direct mode hypervisors (Xen) have no need for this anyway, and will trap the update using writable pagetables. This means no hypervisor makes use of ptep_get_and_clear; there is no reason to have it in the paravirt-ops structure. Change confusing terminology about raw vs. native functions into consistent use of native_pte_xxx for operations which do not invoke paravirt-ops. Signed-off-by:

Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
Xen and VMI both have special requirements when mapping a highmem pte page into the kernel address space. These can be dealt with by adding a new kmap_atomic_pte() function for mapping highptes, and hooking it into the paravirt_ops infrastructure. Xen specifically wants to map the pte page RO, so this patch exposes a helper function, kmap_atomic_prot, which maps the page with the specified page protections. This also adds a kmap_flush_unused() function to clear out the cached kmap mappings. Xen needs this to clear out any potential stray RW mappings of pages which will become part of a pagetable.

This patch adds a pv_op for flush_tlb_others. Linux running on native hardware uses cross-CPU IPIs to flush the TLB on any CPU which may have a particular mm's pagetable entries cached in its TLB. This is inefficient in a paravirtualized environment, since the hypervisor knows which real CPUs actually contain cached mappings, which may be a small subset of a guest's VCPUs. Signed-off-by:

Implement the actual patching machinery. paravirt_patch_default() contains the logic to automatically patch a callsite based on a few simple rules: - if the paravirt_op function is paravirt_nop, then patch nops - if the paravirt_op function is a jmp target, then jmp to it - if the paravirt_op function is callable and doesn't clobber too much for the callsite, call it directly paravirt_patch_default is suitable as a default implementation of paravirt_ops.patch, will remove most of the expensive indirect calls in favour of either a direct call or a pile of nops. Backends may implement their own patcher, however. There are several helper functions to help with this: paravirt_patch_nop nop out a callsite paravirt_patch_ignore leave the callsite as-is paravirt_patch_call patch a call if the caller and callee have compatible clobbers paravirt_patch_jmp patch in a jmp paravirt_patch_insns patch some literal instructions over the callsite, if they fit This patch also implements more direct patches for the native case, so that when running on native hardware many common operations are implemented inline.

Wrap a set of interesting paravirt_ops calls in a wrapper which makes the callsites available for patching. Unfortunately this is pretty ugly because there's no way to get gcc to generate a function call, but also wrap just the callsite itself with the necessary labels. This patch supports functions with 0-4 arguments, and either void or returning a value. 64-bit arguments must be split into a pair of 32-bit arguments (lower word first).

Use patch type identifiers derived from the offset of the operation in the paravirt_ops structure. This avoids having to maintain a separate enum for patch site types. Also, since the identifier is derived from the offset into paravirt_ops, the offset can be derived from the identifier. This is used to remove replicated information in the various callsite macros, which has been a source of bugs in the past. This patch also drops the fused save_fl+cli operation, which doesn't really add much and makes things more complex - specifically because it breaks the 1:1 relationship between identifiers and offsets. If this operation turns out to be particularly beneficial, then the right answer is to define a new entrypoint for it. Signed-off-by:

Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of an mm. Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are needed in common code. They are: arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec. The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.

Normally when running in PAE mode, the 4th PMD maps the kernel address space, which can be shared among all processes (since they all need the same kernel mappings). Xen, however, does not allow guests to have the kernel pmd shared between page tables, so parameterize pgtable.c to allow both modes of operation. There are several side-effects of this. One is that vmalloc will update the kernel address space mappings, and those updates need to be propagated into all processes if the kernel mappings are not intrinsically shared. In the non-PAE case, this is done by maintaining a pgd_list of all processes; this list is used when all process pagetables must be updated. pgd_list is threaded via otherwise unused entries in the page structure for the pgd, which means that the pgd must be page-sized for this to work. Normally the PAE pgd is only 4x64 byte entries large, but Xen requires the PAE pgd to page aligned anyway, so this patch forces the pgd to be page aligned+sized when the kernel pmd is unshared, to accomodate both these requirements. Also, since there may be several distinct kernel pmds (if the user/kernel split is below 3G), there's no point in allocating them from a slab cache; they're just allocated with get_free_page and initialized appropriately. (Of course the could be cached if there is just a single kernel pmd - which is the default with a 3G user/kernel split - but it doesn't seem worthwhile to add yet another case into this code).

Allocate a fixmap slot for use by a paravirt_ops implementation. This is intended for early-boot bootstrap mappings. Once the zones and allocator have been set up, it would be better to use get_vm_area() to allocate some virtual space. Xen uses this to map the hypervisor's shared info page, which doesn't have a pseudo-physical page number, and therefore can't be mapped ordinarily. It is needed early because it contains the vcpu state, including the interrupt mask. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces paravirt_ops hooks to control how the kernel's initial pagetable is set up. In the case of a native boot, the very early bootstrap code creates a simple non-PAE pagetable to map the kernel and physical memory. When the VM subsystem is initialized, it creates a proper pagetable which respects the PAE mode, large pages, etc. When booting under a hypervisor, there are many possibilities for what paging environment the hypervisor establishes for the guest kernel, so the constructon of the kernel's pagetable depends on the hypervisor. In the case of Xen, the hypervisor boots the kernel with a fully constructed pagetable, which is already using PAE if necessary. Also, Xen requires particular care when constructing pagetables to make sure all pagetables are always mapped read-only. In order to make this easier, kernel's initial pagetable construction has been changed to only allocate and initialize a pagetable page if there's no page already present in the pagetable. This allows the Xen paravirt backend to make a copy of the hypervisor-provided pagetable, allowing the kernel to establish any more mappings it needs while keeping the existing ones. A slightly subtle point which is worth highlighting here is that Xen requires all kernel mappings to share the same pte_t pages between all pagetables, so that updating a kernel page's mapping in one pagetable is reflected in all other pagetables. This makes it possible to allocate a page and attach it to a pagetable without having to explicitly enumerate that page's mapping in all pagetables. And: +From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> If we don't set the leaf page table entries it is quite possible that will inherit and incorrect page table entry from the initial boot page table setup in head.S. So we need to redo the effort here, so we pick up PSE, PGE and the like. Hypervisors like Xen require that their page tables be read-only, which is slightly incompatible with our low identity mappings, however I discussed this with Jeremy he has modified the Xen early set_pte function to avoid problems in this area.

Add a set of accessors to pack, unpack and modify page table entries (at all levels). This allows a paravirt implementation to control the contents of pgd/pmd/pte entries. For example, Xen uses this to convert the (pseudo-)physical address into a machine address when populating a pagetable entry, and converting back to pphys address when an entry is read.
