There is only one user but since we're going to bury MTRR next out of access to drivers, expose this last piece of API to drivers in a general fashion only needing io.h for access to helpers. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the argument 'uniform' to mtrr_type_lookup(), which gets set to 1 when a given range is covered uniformly by MTRRs, i.e. the range is fully covered by a single MTRR entry or the default type. Change pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to honor the 'uniform' flag to see if it is safe to create a huge page mapping in the range. This allows them to create a huge page mapping in a range covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory type. It also detects a non-optimal request properly. They continue to check with the WB type since it does not effectively change the uniform mapping even if a request spans multiple MTRR entries. pmd_set_huge() logs a warning message to a non-optimal request so that driver writers will be aware of such a case. Drivers should make a mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered by MTRRs. Signed-off-by:

mtrr_type_lookup() returns verbatim 0xFF when MTRRs are disabled. This patch defines MTRR_TYPE_INVALID to clarify the meaning of this value, and documents its usage. Document the return values of the kernel virtual address mapping helpers pud_set_huge(), pmd_set_huge, pud_clear_huge() and pmd_clear_huge(). There is no functional change in this patch.

'mtrr_state.enabled' contains the FE (fixed MTRRs enabled) and E (MTRRs enabled) flags in MSR_MTRRdefType. Intel SDM, section 11.11.2.1, defines these flags as follows: - All MTRRs are disabled when the E flag is clear. The FE flag has no affect when the E flag is clear. - The default type is enabled when the E flag is set. - MTRR variable ranges are enabled when the E flag is set. - MTRR fixed ranges are enabled when both E and FE flags are set. MTRR state checks in __mtrr_type_lookup() do not match with SDM. Hence, this patch makes the following changes: - The current code detects MTRRs disabled when both E and FE flags are clear in mtrr_state.enabled. Fix to detect MTRRs disabled when the E flag is clear. - The current code does not check if the FE bit is set in mtrr_state.enabled when looking at the fixed entries. Fix to check the FE flag. - The current code returns the default type when the E flag is clear in mtrr_state.enabled. However, the default type is UC when the E flag is clear. Remove the code as this case is handled as MTRR disabled with the 1st change. In addition, this patch defines the E and FE flags in mtrr_state.enabled as follows. - FE flag: MTRR_STATE_MTRR_FIXED_ENABLED - E flag: MTRR_STATE_MTRR_ENABLED print_mtrr_state() and x86_get_mtrr_mem_range() are also updated accordingly.

Andy Lutomirski authored
Several drivers currently use mtrr_add through various #ifdef guards and/or drm wrappers. The vast majority of them want to add WC MTRRs on x86 systems and don't actually need the MTRR if PAT (i.e. ioremap_wc, etc) are working. arch_phys_wc_add and arch_phys_wc_del are new functions, available on all architectures and configurations, that add WC MTRRs on x86 if needed (and handle errors) and do nothing at all otherwise. They're also easier to use than mtrr_add and mtrr_del, so the call sites can be simplified. As an added benefit, this will avoid wasting MTRRs and possibly warning pointlessly on PAT-supporting systems. Reviewed-by:

Specify the data structures for the 64-bit ioctls with explicit sizing and padding so that the x32 kernel will correctly use the 64-bit forms of these ioctls. Note that these ioctls are bogus in both forms on both 32 and 64 bits; even on 64 bits the maximum MTRR size is only 44 bits long. Note that nothing really is supposed to use these ioctls and that the preferred interface is text strings on /proc/mtrr, or better yet, nothing at all (use /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/resource*_wc for write combining; that uses PAT not MTRRs.)

SDM Vol 3a section titled "MTRR considerations in MP systems" specifies the need for synchronizing the logical cpu's while initializing/updating MTRR. Currently Linux kernel does the synchronization of all cpu's only when a single MTRR register is programmed/updated. During an AP online (during boot/cpu-online/resume) where we initialize all the MTRR/PAT registers, we don't follow this synchronization algorithm. This can lead to scenarios where during a dynamic cpu online, that logical cpu is initializing MTRR/PAT with cache disabled (cr0.cd=1) etc while other logical HT sibling continue to run (also with cache disabled because of cr0.cd=1 on its sibling). Starting from Westmere, VMX transitions with cr0.cd=1 don't work properly (because of some VMX performance optimizations) and the above scenario (with one logical cpu doing VMX activity and another logical cpu coming online) can result in system crash. Fix the MTRR initialization by doing rendezvous of all the cpus. During boot and resume, we delay the MTRR/PAT init for APs till all the logical cpu's come online and the rendezvous process at the end of AP's bringup, will initialize the MTRR/PAT for all AP's. For dynamic single cpu online, we synchronize all the logical cpus and do the MTRR/PAT init on the AP that is coming online. Signed-off-by:

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by:

Sets up pat_init() infrastructure. PAT MSR has following setting. PAT |PCD ||PWT ||| 000 WB _PAGE_CACHE_WB 001 WC _PAGE_CACHE_WC 010 UC- _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS 011 UC _PAGE_CACHE_UC We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC. 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.

On some machines, buggy BIOSes don't properly setup WB MTRRs to cover all available RAM, meaning the last few megs (or even gigs) of memory will be marked uncached. Since Linux tends to allocate from high memory addresses first, this causes the machine to be unusably slow as soon as the kernel starts really using memory (i.e. right around init time). This patch works around the problem by scanning the MTRRs at boot and figuring out whether the current end_pfn value (setup by early e820 code) goes beyond the highest WB MTRR range, and if so, trimming it to match. A fairly obnoxious KERN_WARNING is printed too, letting the user know that not all of their memory is available due to a likely BIOS bug. Something similar could be done on i386 if needed, but the boot ordering would be slightly different, since the MTRR code on i386 depends on the boot_cpu_data structure being setup. This patch fixes a bug in the last patch that caused the code to run on non-Intel machines (AMD machines apparently don't need it and it's untested on other non-Intel machines, so best keep it off).

This is a janitorish patch to 1) remove private TRUE/FALSE #def's in favor of using the standard enum from linux/stddef.h and 2) switch the variables holding those values to type 'bool' (from linux/types.h) since it both seems more appropriate and allows for potentially better optimization. As a truly minor aside, I removed a couple of comments documenting a 'do_safe' parameter that seems to no longer exist. Signed-off-by:
