pci-gart needs to unmap the IOMMU aperture to prevent cache corruptions. Switch this over to using set_memory_np() instead of clear_kernel_mapping(). Signed-off-by:

pud and pmd entries in the RAM area might be marked as non present. Do not try to modify them in the selftest. Signed-off-by:

Move the readout of the large entry into the spinlock section to prevent an unlikely but possible race. Mark the pmd/pud entry present after the split. We preserved the non present bit in the new split mapping. Remove the stale gfp_flags double initialization. Signed-off-by:

lookup_address() returns a wrong level and a wrong pointer to a non existing pte, when pmd or pud entries are marked !present. This happens for example due to boot time mapping of GART into the low memory space. Signed-off-by:

An Athlon 64 X2 test system showed hard hangs shortly after marking the kernel text read-only, if we tried to preserve largepages and changed the PSE entry from RW to RO. The pagetable code itself is correct, it's the CPU that locked up hard (and not even the NMI watchdog could punch through that hard hang). So be conservative and always do splitups - like we did in the past. Signed-off-by: -

When CPA is called on a range which fits into a large page mapping, avoid to split the page when: 1) There is no change of attributes 2) The range to change is a complete large mapping Signed-off-by:

The number of arguments which need to be transported is increasing and we want to add flush optimizations and large page preserving. Create struct cpa data and pass a pointer instead of increasing the number of arguments further. Signed-off-by:
-
Andi Kleen authored
We only need to flush the caches in cpa() if the the caching attributes have changed. Otherwise only flush the TLBs. This checks the PAT bits too although they are currently not used by the kernel. Signed-off-by:

When an ioremap is unmapped, do not change the page attributes. There might be another mapping of the same physical address. PAT might detect a conflicting mapping attribute for no good reason. The mapping is removed anyway. Signed-off-by:

Now that cpa works on non-direct mappings as well, we can safely remove the range check in ioremap_change_attr(). Signed-off-by:

Remove tons of castings which make the code hard to read. Signed-off-by:

When splitting large pages, we ge the pfn from the existing entry instead of calculating it ourself. This removes the last remaining range restriction of the cpa code. Signed-off-by:
-
Arjan van de Ven authored
When changing the attributes of a pte, we should use the PFN from the existing PTE rather than going through hoops calculating what we think it might have been; this is both fragile and totally unneeded. It also makes it more hairy to call any of these functions on non-direct maps for no good reason whatsover. With this change, __change_page_attr() no longer takes a pfn as argument, which simplifies all the callers. Signed-off-by:

Right now, enforcing that the high mapping of the kernel text doesn't get the NX bit is done deep in the guts of CPA, rather than in the static_protection() function that enforces all other per-arch sanity checks. This patch moves this sanity check into the central static_protection() function instead, and makes it apply ONLY to the kernel text, not to all other areas in the high mapping. Signed-off-by:

Rather than unconditionally reloading cr3, only do so if the pud we're updating is within the active pgd. This eliminates TLB flushes most of the time. The performance-critical uses of pud_clear are during execve and exit, but in those cases cr3 is referring to some other pagetable. The only other use of pud_clear is during a large (1Gbyte+) munmap, and those are sufficiently rare that a couple of cr3 reloads won't hurt. Signed-off-by:
