x86: use FIRMWARE_MEMMAP on x86/E820
This patch uses the /sys/firmware/memmap interface provided in the last patch
on the x86 architecture when E820 is used. The patch copies the E820
memory map very early, and registers the E820 map afterwards via
firmware_map_add_early().
Bernhard Walle [Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:12:54 +0000 (13:12 +0200)]
sysfs: add /sys/firmware/memmap
This patch adds /sys/firmware/memmap interface that represents the BIOS
(or Firmware) provided memory map. The tree looks like:
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/start (hex number)
end (hex number)
type (string)
... /1/start
end
type
With the following shell snippet one can print the memory map in the same form
the kernel prints itself when booting on x86 (the E820 map).
--------- 8< --------------------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /sys/firmware/memmap
for dir in * ; do
start=$(cat $dir/start)
end=$(cat $dir/end)
type=$(cat $dir/type)
printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
done
--------- >8 --------------------------
That patch only provides the needed interface:
1. The sysfs interface.
2. The structure and enumeration definition.
3. The function firmware_map_add() and firmware_map_add_early()
that should be called from architecture code (E820/EFI, for
example) to add the contents to the interface.
If the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP, the interface does
nothing without cluttering the architecture-specific code with #ifdef's.
The purpose of the new interface is kexec: While /proc/iomem represents
the *used* memory map (e.g. modified via kernel parameters like 'memmap'
and 'mem'), the /sys/firmware/memmap tree represents the unmodified memory
map provided via the firmware. So kexec can:
- use the original memory map for rebooting,
- use the /proc/iomem for setting up the ELF core headers for kdump
case that should only represent the memory of the system.
Rather than using _PAGE_GLOBAL - which not all CPUs support - to test
CPA, use one of the reserved-for-software-use PTE flags instead. This
allows CPA testing to work on CPUs which don't support PGD.

x86_32: remove __PAGE_KERNEL(_EXEC)
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.

Phew. OK, I've worked this out. Short version is that's it's a false
alarm, and there was no real failure here. Long version:
* I changed the code to create the physical mapping pagetables to
reuse any existing mapping rather than replace it. Specifically,
reusing an pud pointed to by the pgd caused this symptom to appear.
* The specific PUD being reused is the one created statically in
head_64.S, which creates an initial 1GB mapping.
* That mapping doesn't have _PAGE_GLOBAL set on it, due to the
inconsistency between __PAGE_* and PAGE_*.
* The CPA test attempts to clear _PAGE_GLOBAL, and then checks to
see that the resulting range is 1) shattered into 4k pages, and 2)
has no _PAGE_GLOBAL.
* However, since it didn't have _PAGE_GLOBAL on that range to start
with, change_page_attr_clear() had nothing to do, and didn't
bother shattering the range,
* resulting in the reported messages
The simple fix is to set _PAGE_GLOBAL in level2_ident_pgt.
An additional fix to make CPA testing more robust by using some other
pagetable bit (one of the unused available-to-software ones). This
would solve spurious CPA test warnings under Xen which uses _PAGE_GLOBAL
for its own purposes (ie, not under guest control).
Also, we should revisit the use of _PAGE_GLOBAL in asm-x86/pgtable.h,
and use it consistently, and drop MAKE_GLOBAL. The first time I
proposed it it caused breakages in the very early CPA code; with luck
that's all fixed now.

x86, 64-bit: adjust mapping of physical pagetables to work with Xen
This makes a few of changes to the construction of the initial
pagetables to work better with paravirt_ops/Xen. The main areas
are:
1. Support non-PSE mapping of memory, since Xen doesn't currently
allow 2M pages to be mapped in guests.
2. Make sure that the ioremap alias of all pages are dropped before
attaching the new page to the pagetable. This avoids having
writable aliases of pagetable pages.
3. Preserve existing pagetable entries, rather than overwriting. Its
possible that a fair amount of pagetable has already been constructed,
so reuse what's already in place rather than ignoring and overwriting it.
The algorithm relies on the invariant that any page which is part of
the kernel pagetable is itself mapped in the linear memory area. This
way, it can avoid using ioremap on a pagetable page.
The invariant holds because it maps memory from low to high addresses,
and also allocates memory from low to high. Each allocated page can
map at least 2M of address space, so the mapped area will always
progress much faster than the allocated area. It relies on the early
boot code mapping enough pages to get started.

The first essentially cleans up after head_64.S. It clears the
bss, zaps low identity mappings, sets up some early exception
handlers.
The second part preserves the boot data, reserves the kernel's
text/data/bss, pagetables and ramdisk, and then starts the kernel
proper.
This split is so that Xen can call the second part to do the set up it
needs done. It doesn't need any of the first part setups, because it
doesn't boot via head_64.S, and its redundant or actively damaging.

Jan Beulich points out that vmalloc_sync_all() assumes that the
kernel's pmd is always expected to be present in the pgd. The current
pgd construction code will add the pgd to the pgd_list before its pmds
have been pre-populated, thereby making it visible to
vmalloc_sync_all().
However, because pgd_prepopulate_pmd also does the allocation, it may
block and cannot be done under spinlock.
The solution is to preallocate the pmds out of the spinlock, then
populate them while holding the pgd_list lock.
This patch also pulls the pmd preallocation and mop-up functions out
to be common, assuming that the compiler will generate no code for
them when PREALLOCTED_PMDS is 0. Also, there's no need for pgd_ctor
to clear the pgd again, since it's allocated as a zeroed page.

vmalloc_sync_all() is only called from register_die_notifier and
alloc_vm_area. Neither is on any performance-critical paths, so
vmalloc_sync_all() itself is not on any hot paths.
Given that the optimisations in vmalloc_sync_all add a fair amount of
code and complexity, and are fairly hard to evaluate for correctness,
it's better to just remove them to simplify the code rather than worry
about its absolute performance.
