      x86, mm: Trim memory in memblock to be page aligned · 6ede1fd3
      Yinghai Lu authored
      We will not map partial pages, so need to make sure memblock
      allocation will not allocate those bytes out.
      
      Also we will use for_each_mem_pfn_range() to loop to map memory
      range to keep them consistent.

      x86/irq/ioapic: Check for valid irq_cfg pointer in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt · 94777fc5
      Dimitri Sivanich authored
      Posting this patch to fix an issue concerning sparse irq's that
      I raised a while back.  There was discussion about adding
      refcounting to sparse irqs (to fix other potential race
      conditions), but that does not appear to have been addressed
      yet.  This covers the only issue of this type that I've
      encountered in this area.
      
      A NULL pointer dereference can occur in
      smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() if we haven't yet setup the
      irq_cfg pointer in the irq_desc.irq_data.chip_data.
      
      In create_irq_nr() there is a window where we have set
      vector_irq in __assign_irq_vector(), but not yet called
      irq_set_chip_data() to set the irq_cfg pointer.
      
      Should an IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR hit the cpu in question during
      this time, smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() will attempt to
      process the aforementioned irq, but panic when accessing
      irq_cfg.
      
      Only continue processing the irq if irq_cfg is non-NULL.

      x86/efi: Fix oops caused by incorrect set_memory_uc() usage · 3e8fa263
      Matt Fleming authored
      Calling __pa() with an ioremap'd address is invalid. If we
      encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set in
      ->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn
      calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address.
      
      On CONFIG_X86_32 this results in the following oops:

      The only time we can call set_memory_uc() for a memory region is
      when it is part of the direct kernel mapping. For the case where
      we ioremap a memory region we must leave it alone.
      
      This patch reimplements the fix from e8c71062 ("x86, efi:
      Calling __pa() with an ioremap()ed address is invalid") which
      was reverted in e1ad783b because it caused a regression on
      some MacBooks (they hung at boot). The regression was caused
      because the commit only marked EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA as
      E820_RESERVED_EFI, when it should have marked all regions that
      have the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute.
      
      Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use
      ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on
      CONFIG_X86_64 because of the way that the memory map might be
      configured as detailed in the following bug report,
      
      	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516
      
      e.g. some of the EFI memory regions *need* to be mapped as part
      of the direct kernel mapping.

      x86-64: Fix page table accounting · 876ee61a
      Jan Beulich authored
      Commit 20167d34 ("x86-64: Fix
      accounting in kernel_physical_mapping_init()") went a little too
      far by entirely removing the counting of pre-populated page
      tables: this should be done at boot time (to cover the page
      tables set up in early boot code), but shouldn't be done during
      memory hot add.
      
      Hence, re-add the removed increments of "pages", but make them
      and the one in phys_pte_init() conditional upon !after_bootmem.

      Revert "x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables" · 7b16bbf9
      Dave Young authored
      Commit:
      
         722bc6b1 x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables
      
      Tried to address the issue that the first 2/4M should use 4k pages
      if PSE enabled, but extra counts should only be valid for x86_32.
      
      This commit caused a kdump regression: the kdump kernel hangs.
      
      Work is in progress to fundamentally fix the various page table
      initialization issues that we have, via the design suggested
      by H. Peter Anvin, but it's not ready yet to be merged.
      
      So, to get a working kdump revert to the last known working version,
      which is the revert of this commit and of a followup fix (which was
      incomplete):
      
         bd2753b2 x86/mm: Only add extra pages count for the first memory range during pre-allocation
      
      Tested kdump on physical and virtual machines.
