Instead of making init a two pass sequence, to satisfy the Intel's TLB Application note (developer.intel.com/design/processor/applnots/317080.pdf Section 6 page 26), we preserve the original page permissions when fragmenting the large mappings and don't touch the existing memory mapping (which satisfies Xen's requirements). Only open issue is: on a native linux kernel, we will go back to mapping the first 0-1GB kernel identity mapping as executable (because of the static mapping setup in head_64.S). We can fix this in a different patch if needed. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

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.

2008-10-10x86, cpa: srlz cpa(), global flush tlb after splitting big page and before ↵Suresh Siddha
doing cpa Do a global flush tlb after splitting the large page and before we do the actual change page attribute in the PTE. With out this, we violate the TLB application note, which says "The TLBs may contain both ordinary and large-page translations for a 4-KByte range of linear addresses. This may occur if software modifies the paging structures so that the page size used for the address range changes. If the two translations differ with respect to page frame or attributes (e.g., permissions), processor behavior is undefined and may be implementation-specific." And also serialize cpa() (for !DEBUG_PAGEALLOC which uses large identity mappings) using cpa_lock. So that we don't allow any other cpu, with stale large tlb entries change the page attribute in parallel to some other cpu splitting a large page entry along with changing the attribute.

No alias checking needed for setting present/not-present mapping.

Don't use large pages for kernel identity mapping with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will remove the need to split the large page for the allocated kernel page in the interrupt context.

2008-10-10x86, cpa: make the kernel physical mapping initialization a two pass sequenceSuresh Siddha
In the first pass, kernel physical mapping will be setup using large or small pages but uses the same PTE attributes as that of the early PTE attributes setup by early boot code in head_[32|64].S After flushing TLB's, we go through the second pass, which setups the direct mapped PTE's with the appropriate attributes (like NX, GLOBAL etc) which are runtime detectable. This two pass mechanism conforms to the TLB app note which says: "Software should not write to a paging-structure entry in a way that would change, for any linear address, both the page size and either the page frame or attributes."

Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest, I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test. Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI.

2008-10-06x86 ACPI: Blacklist two HP machines with buggy BIOSesRafael J. Wysocki
There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them become 16 degrees Celsius). As a result, thermal throttling kicks in and knock the system down to its shoes. Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up. To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case). This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as a regression from 2.6.26. On my box it was caused by: commit 691874fa96d6349a8b60f8ea9c2bae52ece79941 Author: Maciej W.

2008-10-01x86: change MTRR_SANITIZER to def_bool yYinghai Lu
This option has been added in v2.6.26 as a default-disabled feature and went through several revisions since then. The feature fixes a wide range of MTRR setup problems that BIOSes leave us with: slow system, slow Xorg, slow system when adding lots of RAM, etc., so we want to enable it by default for v2.6.28. See: [Bug 10508] Upgrade to 4GB of RAM messes up MTRRs http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10508 and the test results in: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/29/273 1. hpa reg00: base=0xc0000000 (3072MB), size=1024MB: uncachable, count=1 reg01: base=0x13c000000 (5056MB), size= 64MB: uncachable, count=1 reg02: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=4096MB: write-back, count=1 reg03: base=0x100000000 (4096MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1 reg04: base=0xbf700000 (3063MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1 reg05: base=0xbf800000 (3064MB), size= 8MB: uncachable, count=1 will get Found optimal setting for mtrr clean up gran_size: 1M chunk_size: 128M num_reg: 6 lose RAM: 0M range0: 0000000000000000 - 00000000c0000000 Setting variable MTRR 0, base: 0MB, range: 2048MB, type WB Setting variable MTRR 1, base: 2048MB, range: 1024MB, type WB hole: 00000000bf700000 - 00000000c0000000 Setting variable MTRR 2, base: 3063MB, range: 1MB, type UC Setting variable MTRR 3, base: 3064MB, range: 8MB, type UC range0: 0000000100000000 - 0000000140000000 Setting variable MTRR 4, base: 4096MB, range: 1024MB, type WB hole: 000000013c000000 - 0000000140000000 Setting variable MTRR 5, base: 5056MB, range: 64MB, type UC 2.

2008-09-30x86, vmi: fix broken LDT accessZachary Amsden
This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very common, but the bug is quite serious. It got introduced along with another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3e56ca09a467fbbe5229bc68627f7445be After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a long time ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which occurred on the same line. The result is a total failure of the JRE due to LDT selectors not working properly.
