2008-10-30x86: fix /dev/mem mmap breakage when PAT is disabledRavikiran G Thirumalai
Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is off mmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26. This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing still happens if PAT is enabled.

2008-10-10x86: track memtype for RAM in page structSuresh Siddha
Track the memtype for RAM pages in page struct instead of using the memtype list. This avoids the explosion in the number of entries in memtype list (of the order of 20,000 with AGP) and makes the PAT tracking simpler. We are using PG_arch_1 bit in page->flags. We still use the memtype list for non RAM pages.

2008-08-21devmem, x86: PAT Change /dev/mem mmap with O_SYNC to use UC_MINUSvenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com
All kernel mappings like ioremap(), etc uses UC_MINUS as the type. /dev/mem mappings with /dev/mem being opened with O_SYNC however was using UC, resulting in a conflict with /dev/mem mmap failing. This seems to be affecting some apps (one being flashrom) which are using O_SYNC and which were working before. Switch /dev/mem with O_SYNC also to UC_MINUS.

2008-07-20Subject: devmem, x86: fix rename of CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEMIngo Molnar
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:47:17 -0700 CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM was a rather confusing name - but renaming it to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM causes problems on architectures that do not support this feature; this patch renames it to CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, so that architectures can opt-in into it. ( the polarity of the option is still the same as it was originally; it needs to be for now to not break architectures that don't have the infastructure yet to support this feature) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: "V.Radhakrishnan" <rk@atr-labs.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> ---

Starting with commit 8d4a4300854f3971502e81dacd930704cb88f606 (x86: cleanup PAT cpu validation) the PAT CPU feature flag is not cleared anymore. Now the error message "PAT enabled, but CPU feature cleared" in pat_init() is misleading. Furthermore the current code does not check for existence of the PAT CPU feature flag if a CPU is whitelisted in validate_pat_support. This patch clears pat_wc_enabled if boot CPU has no PAT feature flag and adapts the paranoia check.

2008-06-12x86: fix Xorg crash with xf86MapVidMem errorVenki Pallipadi
Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code resilient to mtrr lookup problems. Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr lookup failure. pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings. (2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default. In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple users.

Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the current CPU version/model white list. Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo that. The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove the white list and open the can of worms. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

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.
