This code was an optimization for 32-bit NUMA systems. It has probably been the cause of a number of subtle bugs over the years, although the conditions to excite them would have been hard to trigger. Essentially, we remap part of the kernel linear mapping area, and then sometimes part of that area gets freed back in to the bootmem allocator. If those pages get used by kernel data structures (say mem_map[] or a dentry), there's no big deal. But, if anyone ever tried to use the linear mapping for these pages _and_ cared about their physical address, bad things happen. For instance, say you passed __GFP_ZERO to the page allocator and then happened to get handed one of these pages, it zero the remapped page, but it would make a pte to the _old_ page. There are probably a hundred other ways that it could screw with things. We don't need to hang on to performance optimizations for these old boxes any more. All my 32-bit NUMA systems are long dead and buried, and I probably had access to more than most people. This code is causing real things to break today: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/9/376 I looked in to actually fixing this, but it requires surgery to way too much brittle code, as well as stuff like per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(). [ hpa: Cc: this for -stable, since it is a memory corruption issue. However, an alternative is to simply mark NUMA as depends BROKEN rather than EXPERIMENTAL in the X86_32 subclause... ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130131005616.1C79F411@kernel.stglabs.ibm.comSigned-off-by: H.

Normal boot path on system with iommu support: swiotlb buffer will be allocated early at first and then try to initialize iommu, if iommu for intel or AMD could setup properly, swiotlb buffer will be freed. The early allocating is with bootmem, and could panic when we try to use kdump with buffer above 4G only, or with memmap to limit mem under 4G. for example: memmap=4095M$1M to remove memory under 4G. According to Eric, add _nopanic version and no_iotlb_memory to fail map single later if swiotlb is still needed. -v2: don't pass nopanic, and use -ENOMEM return value according to Eric. panic early instead of using swiotlb_full to panic...according to Eric/Konrad. -v3: make swiotlb_init to be notpanic, but will affect: arm64, ia64, powerpc, tile, unicore32, x86. -v4: cleanup swiotlb_init by removing swiotlb_init_with_default_size.

During kdump kernel's booting stage, it need to find low ram for swiotlb buffer when system does not support intel iommu/dmar remapping. kexed-tools is appending memmap=exactmap and range from /proc/iomem with "Crash kernel", and that range is above 4G for 64bit after boot protocol 2.12. We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low", so kexec-tools could find that info and append to kdump kernel command line. Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G. User could specify the size with crashkernel_low=XX[KMG]. -v2: fix warning that is found by Fengguang's test robot. -v3: move out get_mem_size change to another patch, to solve compiling warning that is found by Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> -v4: user must specify crashkernel_low if system does not support intel or amd iommu.

commit 08da5a2c x86_64: Early segment setup for VT sets up LDT and TR into a valid state in order to speed up boot decompression under VT. Those code are put in code64, and it is using GDT that is only loaded from code32 path. That breaks booting with 64bit bootloader that does not go through code32 path and jump to startup_64 directly, and it has different GDT. Move those lines into code32 after their GDT is loaded.

We only map a single 2 MiB page per #PF, even though we should be able to do this a full gigabyte at a time with no additional memory cost. This is a workaround for a broken AMD reference BIOS (and its derivatives in shipping system) which maps a large chunk of memory as WB in the MTRR system but will #MC if the processor wanders off and tries to prefetch that memory, which can happen any time the memory is mapped in the TLB.

Linear mode (CR0.PG = 0) is mutually exclusive with 64-bit mode; all 64-bit code has to use page tables. This makes it awkward before we have first set up properly all-covering page tables to access objects that are outside the static kernel range. So far we have dealt with that simply by mapping a fixed amount of low memory, but that fails in at least two upcoming use cases: 1. We will support load and run kernel, struct boot_params, ramdisk, command line, etc. above the 4 GiB mark. 2. need to access ramdisk early to get microcode to update that as early possible. We could use early_iomap to access them too, but it will make code to messy and hard to be unified with 32 bit. Hence, set up a #PF table and use a fixed number of buffers to set up page tables on demand. If the buffers fill up then we simply flush them and start over. These buffers are all in __initdata, so it does not increase RAM usage at runtime. Thus, with the help of the #PF handler, we can set the final kernel mapping from blank, and switch to init_level4_pgt later. During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available, we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound. The kernel region itself will be properly mapped; other mappings may be spurious. early_make_pgtable is using kernel high mapping address to access pages to set page table. -v4: Add phys_base offset to make kexec happy, and add init_mapping_kernel() - Yinghai -v5: fix compiling with xen, and add back ident level3 and level2 for xen also move back init_level4_pgt from BSS to DATA again. because we have to clear it anyway. - Yinghai -v6: switch to init_level4_pgt in init_mem_mapping. - Yinghai -v7: remove not needed clear_page for init_level4_page it is with fill 512,8,0 already in head_64.S - Yinghai -v8: we need to keep that handler alive until init_mem_mapping and don't let early_trap_init to trash that early #PF handler. So split early_trap_pf_init out and move it down. - Yinghai -v9: switchover only cover kernel space instead of 1G so could avoid touch possible mem holes. - Yinghai -v11: change far jmp back to far return to initial_code, that is needed to fix failure that is reported by Konrad on AMD systems. - Yinghai Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359058816-7615-12-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: H.

We want to support struct boot_params (formerly known as the zero-page, or real-mode data) above the 4 GiB mark. We will have #PF handler to set page table for not accessible ram early, but want to limit it before x86_64_start_reservations to limit the code change to native path only. Also we will need the ramdisk info in struct boot_params to access the microcode blob in ramdisk in x86_64_start_kernel, so copy struct boot_params early makes it accessing ramdisk info simple.

It is simple version for kernel_physical_mapping_init. it will work to build one page table that will be used later. Use mapping_info to control 1. alloc_pg_page method 2. if PMD is EXEC, 3. if pgd is with kernel low mapping or ident mapping. Will use to replace some local versions in kexec, hibernation and etc. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359058816-7615-8-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: H.

Trampoline code is executed by APs with kernel low mapping on 64bit. We need to set trampoline code to EXEC early before we boot APs. Found the problem after switching to #PF handler set page table, and we do not set initial kernel low mapping with EXEC anymore in arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S. Change to use early_initcall instead that will make sure trampoline will have EXEC set. -v2: Merge two comments according to Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359058816-7615-7-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: H.

Just like the way we calculate next for pud and pmd, aka round down and add size. Also, do not do boundary-checking with 'next', and just pass 'end' down to phys_pud_init() instead. Because the loop in phys_pud_init() stops at PTRS_PER_PUD and thus can handle a possibly bigger 'end' properly.

Separate out the reservation of the kernel static memory areas into a separate function. Also add support for case when memmap=xxM$yyM is used without exactmap. Need to remove reserved range at first before we add E820_RAM range, otherwise added E820_RAM range will be ignored.

During debugging loading kernel above 4G, found that one page is not used in pre-allocated BRK area for early page allocation. pgt_buf_top is address that can not be used, so should check if that new end is above that top, otherwise last page will not be used. Fix that checking and also add print out for allocation from pre-allocated BRK area to catch possible bugs later. But after we get back that page for pgt, it tiggers one bug in pgt allocation with xen: We need to avoid to use page as pgt to map range that is overlapping with that pgt page. Add checking about overlapping, when it happens, use memblock allocation instead. That fixes crash on Xen PV guest with 2G that Stefan found.

Use the new sentinel field to detect bootloaders which fail to follow protocol and don't initialize fields in struct boot_params that they do not explicitly initialize to zero. Based on an original patch and research by Yinghai Lu. Changed by hpa to be invoked both in the decompression path and in the kernel proper; the latter for the case where a bootloader takes over decompression.
