drivers/video/fbdev/atyfb: Replace MTRR UC hole with strong UC
Replace a WC MTRR call followed by a UC MTRR "hole" call with a single WC MTRR call and use strong UC to protect the MMIO region and account for the device's architecture and MTRR size requirements. The atyfb driver relies on two overlapping MTRRs. It does this to account for the fact that, on some devices, it has the MMIO region bundled together with the framebuffer on the same PCI BAR and the hardware requirement on MTRRs on both base and size to be powers of two. In the worst case, the PCI BAR is of 16 MiB while the MMIO region is on the last 4 KiB of the same PCI BAR. If we use just one MTRR for WC, we can only end up with an 8 MiB or 16 MiB framebuffer. Using a 16 MiB WC framebuffer area is unacceptable since we need the MMIO region to not be write-combined. An 8 MiB WC framebuffer option does not let use quite a bit of framebuffer space, it would reduce the resolution capability of the device considerably. An alternative is to use many MTRRs but on some systems that could mean not having enough MTRRs to cover the framebuffer. The current solution is to issue a 16 MiB WC MTRR followed by a 4 KiB UC MTRR on the last 4 KiB. Its worth mentioning and documenting that the current ioremap*() strategy as well: the first ioremap() is used only for the MMIO region, a second ioremap() call is used for the framebuffer *and* the MMIO region, the MMIO region then ends up mmapped twice. Two ioremap() calls are used since in some situations the framebuffer actually ends up on a separate auxiliary PCI BAR, but this is not always true. In the worst case, the PCI BAR is shared for both MMIO and the framebuffer. By allowing overlapping ioremap() calls, the driver enables two types of devices with one simple ioremap() strategy. See also: 2f9e8973 ("x86/mm/mtrr, pat: Document Write Combining MTRR type effects on PAT / non-PAT pages") By default, Linux today defaults both pci_mmap_page_range() and ioremap_nocache() to use _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC_MINUS. On x86, ioremap() aliases ioremap_nocache(). The preferred value for Linux may soon change, however, the goal is to use _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC by default in the future. We can use ioremap_uc() to set PCD=1, PWT=1 on non-PAT systems and use a PAT value of UC for PAT systems. This will ensure the same settings are in place regardless of what Linux decides to use by default later and to not regress our MTRR strategy since the effective memory type will differ depending on the value used. Using a WC MTRR on such an area will be nullified. This technique can be used to protect the MMIO region in this driver's case and address the restrictions of the device's architecture as well as restrictions set upon us by powers of 2 when using MTRRs. This allows us to replace the two MTRR calls with a single 16 MiB WC MTRR and use page-attribute settings for non-PAT and PAT entry values for PAT systems to ensure the appropriate effective memory type won't have a write-combining effect on the MMIO region on both non-PAT and PAT systems. The framebuffer area will be sure to get the write-combined effective memory type by white-listing it with ioremap_wc(). We ensure the desired effective memory types are set by: 0) Using one ioremap_uc() for the MMIO region alone. This will set the page attribute settings for the MMIO region to PCD=1, PWT=1 for non-PAT systems while using a strong UC value on PAT systems. 1) Fixing the framebuffer ioremapped area to exclude the MMIO region and using ioremap_wc() instead to whitelist the area we want for write-combining. In both cases, an implementation defined (as per 2f9e8973) effective memory type of WC is used for the framebuffer for non-PAT systems. Signed-off-by:Luis R.
