46eaa67020 x86: memory corruption check - cleanup
Move the prototypes from the generic kernel.h header to the more
appropriate include/asm-x86/bios_ebda.h header file.

Also, remove the check from the power management code - this is a
pure x86 matter for now.

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.

9542ada803 x86: track memtype for RAM in page struct
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.

ad5ca55f6b x86, cpa: srlz cpa(), global flush tlb after splitting big page and before 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. Otherwise,
we may need to break large pages for 64-bit kernel text mappings (this adds to
complexity if we want to do this from atomic context especially, for ex:
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC). Let's keep it simple!

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.

This will simplify cpa code(as we don't do the split any more from the
interrupt context). cpa code simplication in the subsequent patches.

a2699e477b x86, cpa: make the kernel physical mapping initialization a two pass sequence
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."

5394f80f92 x86: check for and defend against BIOS memory corruption
Some BIOSes have been observed to corrupt memory in the low 64k.  This
change:
 - Reserves all memory which does not have to be in that area, to
   prevent it from being used as general memory by the kernel.  Things
   like the SMP trampoline are still in the memory, however.
 - Clears the reserved memory so we can observe changes to it.
 - Adds a function check_for_bios_corruption() which checks and reports on
   memory becoming unexpectedly non-zero.  Currently it's called in the
   x86 fault handler, and the powermanagement debug output.

- pud_phys (in kernel_physical_ampping_init()) would remain uninitialized in
  the after_bootmem case

- the locking done just around phys_pmd_{init,update}() would leave out pgd
  updates, and it was needlessly covering code portions that do allocations
  (perhaps using a more friendly gfp value in alloc_low_page() would then be
  possible)

e621bd1895 i386: vmalloc size fix
Booting kernel with vmalloc=[any size<=16m] will oops on my pc (i386/1G memory).

BUG_ON in arch/x86/mm/init_32.c triggered:
BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory > VMALLOC_START);

It's due to the vm area hole.

In include/asm-x86/pgtable_32.h:
#define VMALLOC_OFFSET	(8 * 1024 * 1024)
#define VMALLOC_START	(((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) \
			 & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))

There's several related point:
1. MAXMEM :
 (-__PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE).
The space after VMALLOC_END is included as well, I set it to
(VMALLOC_END - PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE)

2. VMALLOC_OFFSET is not considered in __VMALLOC_RESERVE
fixed by adding VMALLOC_OFFSET to it.

3. VMALLOC_START :
 (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))
So it's not always 8M, bigger than 8M possible.
I set it to ((unsigned long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET)

4. the VMALLOC_RESERVE is an unused macro, so remove it here.

8d6ea9674c x86: fix section mismatch warning - spp_getpage()
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x17a3e): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_pte_vaddr_pud() to the function .init.text:spp_getpage()
The function set_pte_vaddr_pud() references
the function __init spp_getpage().
This is often because set_pte_vaddr_pud lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of spp_getpage is wrong.

spp_getpage is called from __init (__init_extra_mapping) and
non __init (set_pte_vaddr_pud) functions, so it can't be __init.
Unfortunately it calls alloc_bootmem_pages which is __init,
but does it only when bootmem allocator is available (after_bootmem == 0).

So annotate it accordingly.

e213e87785 x86: Fix ioremap off by one BUG
Jean Delvare's machine triggered this BUG

acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:233!

with ACPI in the backtrace.

Adding some debugging output showed that ACPI calls

acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535

And ioremap/PAT does this check in 32bit, so addr+size wraps and the BUG
in reserve_memtype() triggers incorrectly.

        BUG_ON(start >= end); /* end is exclusive */

But reserve_memtype already uses u64:

int reserve_memtype(u64 start, u64 end,

so the 32bit truncation must happen in the caller. Presumably in ioremap
when it passes this information to reserve_memtype().

This patch does this computation in 64bit.

5843d9a4d0 x86, pat: avoid highmem cache attribute aliasing
Highmem code can leave ptes and tlb entries around for a given page even after
kunmap, and after it has been freed.

>From what I can gather, the PAT code may change the cache attributes of
arbitrary physical addresses (ie. including highmem pages), which would result
in aliases in the case that it operates on one of these lazy tlb highmem
pages.

Flushing kmaps should solve the problem.

I've also just added code for conditional flushing if we haven't got
any dangling highmem aliases -- this should help performance if we
change page attributes frequently or systems that aren't using much
highmem pages (eg. if < 4G RAM). Should be turned into 2 patches, but
just for RFC...

1ac2f7d55b introduce two APIs for page attribute
Introduce two APIs for page attribute. flushing tlb/cache in every page
attribute is expensive. AGP gart usually will do a lot of operations to
change a page to uc, new APIs can reduce flush.

a06de63000 x86: fix /proc/meminfo DirectMap
Do we actually want these DirectMap lines in the x86 /proc/meminfo?
I can see they're interesting to CPA developers and TLB optimizers,
but they don't fit its usual "where has all my memory gone?" usage.
If they are to stay, here are some fixes.

1. On x86_32 without PAE, they're not 2M but 4M pages: no need to
   mess with the internal enum, but show the right name to users.

2. Many machines can never show anything but 0 for DirectMap1G,
   so suppress that line unless direct_gbpages are really enabled.

3. The unit in /proc/meminfo is kB not number of pages: HugePages
   messed that up, but they're an example to regret not to follow.

4. Once we use kB, it's easy to see that 1GB has gone missing (which
   explains why CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG=y soon wraps DirectMap2M negative):
   because head_64.S's level2_ident_pgt entries were not counted.
   My fix is not ideal, but works for more and for less than 1G,
   and avoids interfering with early bootup pagetable contortions.
