It looks like a mismerge put the rodata self-check in the wrong spot; move it to the right place after marking the .rodata section read only. Signed-off-by:

clflush is sufficient to be issued on one CPU. The invalidation is broadcast throughout the coherence domain. Signed-off-by:

clflush is an unordered operation with respect to other memory traffic, including other CLFLUSH instructions. This needs proper fencing with mfence. Signed-off-by:

The function name global_flush_tlb() suggests something different from what the function really does. Rename it to cpa_flush_all(), which is an understandable counterpart to cpa_flush_range(). no global visibility of the old API anymore. Signed-off-by:

Use clflush on CPUs which support this. clflush is only used when the page attribute operation has been successful. On CPUs which do not support clflush and in the case of error the old fashioned global_flush_tlb() is called. Signed-off-by:

Create a set_and_clr function to avoid the duplicate loops. Allows also to do combined operations for optimization. Signed-off-by:

To avoid the modification of the flush code for the clflush implementation, move the flush into the set and clear functions and provide helper functions for the debugging code. Signed-off-by:

Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd. I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly exception table sorting stuff. From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/ once that patch gets merged into mainline. (I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll wait with that until init.c is unified) As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

When we free initmem, various rodata and CPA checks may have left memory read only.. this patch ensures that the memory is writable before we free it. Signed-off-by:
-
Arjan van de Ven authored
In Ingo's testing, he found a bug in the CPA selftest code. What would happen is that the test would call change_page_attr_addr on a range of memory, part of which was read only, part of which was writable. The only thing the test wanted to change was the global bit... What actually happened was that the selftest would take the permissions of the first page, and then the change_page_attr_addr call would then set the permissions of the entire range to this first page. In the rodata section case, this resulted in pages after the .rodata becoming read only... which made the kernel rather unhappy in many interesting ways. This is just another example of how dangerous the cpa API is (was); this patch changes the test to use the incremental clear/set APIs instead, and it changes the clear/set implementation to work on a 1 page at a time basis.

The set_memory_* and set_pages_* family of API's currently requires the callers to do a global tlb flush after the function call; forgetting this is a very nasty deathtrap. This patch moves the global tlb flush into each of the callers Signed-off-by:

change_page_attr_add is only used in pageattr.c now, so we can make this function static. change_page_attr() isn't used anywere at all anymore; this function is a really bad API anyway so just remove the bloat entirely. Signed-off-by:

page_is_ram has a FIXME since ages, which reminds to sanity check the BIOS area between 640k and 1M, which is sometimes falsely reported as RAM in the e820 tables. Implement the sanity check. Move the BIOS range defines from pageattr.c into e820.h to avoid duplicate defines. Signed-off-by:

With the introduction of the new API, no driver or non-archcore code needs to use c-p-a anymore, so this patch also deprecates the EXPORT_SYMBOL of CPA (it's a horrible API after all). Signed-off-by:

This patch converts various users of change_page_attr() to the new, more intent driven set_page_*/set_memory_* API set. Signed-off-by:
-
Arjan van de Ven authored
Right now, if drivers or other code want to change, say, a cache attribute of a page, the only API they have is change_page_attr(). c-p-a is a really bad API for this, because it forces the caller to know *ALL* the attributes he wants for the page, not just the 1 thing he wants to change. So code that wants to set a page uncachable, needs to be aware of the NX status as well etc etc etc. This patch introduces a set of new APIs for this, set_pages_<attr> and set_memory_<attr>, that offer a logical change to the user, and leave all attributes not implied by the requested logical change alone.

64bit uses end_pfn_map and 32bit uses max_low_pfn. There are several files which have #ifdef'ed defines which map either to end_pfn_map or max_low_pfn. Replace this by a universal define and clean up all the other instances. Signed-off-by:
