VMWare seems not to emulate the PAT MSR correctly: reaeding
MSR_IA32_CR_PAT returns 0 even after writing another value to it.
Commit bd809af16e triggers this VMWare bug when the kernel is
booted as a VMWare guest.
Detect this bug and don't use the read value if it is 0.

Pull x86 mm tree changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is full PAT support from Jürgen Gross:
The x86 architecture offers via the PAT (Page Attribute Table) a
way to specify different caching modes in page table entries. The
PAT MSR contains 8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache
modes. A pte references one of those entries via 3 bits:
_PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD.
The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes.
The PAT MSR is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a
pte doesn't matter: the top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same
as the 4 lower entries.
This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode.
Especially this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards
which now have to use uncached accesses.
OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and
the Xen hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration
for some time now and can't change that as this setting is part of
the ABI.
This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces
tables to translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default
cache mode "write back" is hard-wired to PAT entry 0). The tables
are statically initialized with values being compatible to old
processors and current usage. As soon as the PAT MSR is changed
(or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are changed
accordingly. Requests of mappings with special cache modes are
always possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a
fallback to a compatible but slower mode.
Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:
- capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with
full PAT support
- processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as
today, even if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for
some pages
- reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode
Another change is a boot speedup on ridiculously large RAM systems,
plus other smaller fixes"

kernel_map_sync_memtype() is called from a variety of contexts. The
pat.c code that calls it seems to ensure that it is not called for
non-ram areas by checking via pat_pagerange_is_ram(). It is important
that it only be called on the actual identity map because there *IS*
no map to sync for highmem pages, or for memory holes.
The ioremap.c uses are not as careful as those from pat.c, and call
kernel_map_sync_memtype() on PCI space which is in the middle of the
kernel identity map _range_, but is not actually mapped.
This patch adds a check to kernel_map_sync_memtype() which probably
duplicates some of the checks already in pat.c. But, it is necessary
for the ioremap.c uses and shouldn't hurt other callers.
I have reproduced this bug and this patch fixes it for me and the

The KVM code has some repeated bugs in it around use of __pa() on
per-cpu data. Those data are not in an area on which using
__pa() is valid. However, they are also called early enough in
boot that __vmalloc_start_set is not set, and thus the
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL debugging does not catch them.
This adds a check to also verify __pa() calls against max_low_pfn,
which we can use earler in boot than is_vmalloc_addr(). However,
if we are super-early in boot, max_low_pfn=0 and this will trip
on every call, so also make sure that max_low_pfn is set before
we try to use it.
With this patch applied, CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL will actually
catch the bug I was chasing (and fix later in this series).
I'd love to find a generic way so that any __pa() call on percpu
areas could do a BUG_ON(), but there don't appear to be any nice
and easy ways to check if an address is a percpu one. Anybody
have ideas on a way to do this?

With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory
attribute and uses it. Expectation is that the driver reserves the
memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn().
remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new
attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range.
This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range()
with a desired memory attribute. For ranges smaller than the vma size
(which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the
existing memory attribute for the pfn range.
Expose two different API's for these different behaviors.
track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn()
and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range().
This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in
the 'vma'.

'pfn' argument for track_pfn_vma_new() can be used for reserving the
attribute for the pfn range. No need to depend on 'vm_pgoff'
Similarly, untrack_pfn_vma() can depend on the 'pfn' argument if it is
non-zero or can use follow_phys() to get the starting value of the pfn
range.
Also the non zero 'size' argument can be used instead of recomputing it
from vma.
This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in the

Function pat_pagerange_is_ram() scales poorly to large address
ranges, because it probes the resource tree for each page.
On a 2.6 GHz Opteron, this function consumes 34 ms for a 1 GB range.
It is called twice during untrack_pfn_vma(), slowing process
cleanup and handicapping the OOM killer.
This replacement consumes less than 1ms, under the same conditions.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

order to store the PAT ranges. The new code seprates out the pat backend
to pat_rbtree.c file, making is cleaner. The change also makes the PAT
lookup, reserve and free operations more optimal, as we don't have to

While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC
patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
vfs_fsync_range and when not.
This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and
network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for
lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
to make sure we always get these sane options.
Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for
the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

is_untracked_pat_range() -- like its components, is_ISA_range() and
is_GRU_range(), takes a normal semiclosed interval (>=, <) whereas the
PAT code called it as if it took a closed range (>=, <=). Fix.
Although this is a bug, I believe it is non-manifest, simply because
none of the callers will call this with non-page-aligned addresses.

On modern systems, the kernel prints the message
x86 PAT enabled: cpu 0, old 0x7040600070406, new 0x7010600070106
once for every CPU.
This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a
64-thread system I was lucky enough to get:
dmesg| grep 'PAT enabled' | wc
64 704 5174
There is already a BUG() if non-boot CPUs have PAT capabilities
that don't match the boot CPU, so just print the message on the
boot CPU. (I kept the print after the wrmsrl() that enables PAT,
so that the log output continues to mean that the system survived
enabling PAT on the boot CPU)

x86, pat: don't use rb-tree based lookup in reserve_memtype()
x86: Increase MIN_GAP to include randomized stack
Recent enhancement of rb-tree based lookup exposed a bug with the lookup
mechanism in the reserve_memtype() which ensures that there are no conflicting
memtype requests for the memory range.
memtype_rb_search() returns an entry which has a start address <= new start
address. And from here we traverse the linear linked list to check if there
any conflicts with the existing mappings. As the rbtree is based on the
start address of the memory range, it is quite possible that we have several
overlapped mappings whose start address is much less than new requested start
but the end is >= new requested end. This results in conflicting memtype
mappings.
Same bug exists with the old code which uses cached_entry from where
we traverse the linear linked list. But the new rb-tree code exposes this
bug fairly easily.
For now, don't use the memtype_rb_search() and always start the search from
the head of linear linked list in reserve_memtype(). Linear linked list
for most of the systems grow's to few 10's of entries(as we track memory type
of RAM pages using struct page). So we should be ok for now.
We still retain the rbtree and use it to speed up free_memtype() which
doesn't have the same bug(as we know what exactly we are searching for
in free_memtype).
Also use list_for_each_entry_from() in free_memtype() so that we start
the search from rb-tree lookup result.

Add sanity check for remap_pfn_range of RAM regions using
lookup_memtype(). Previously, we did not have anyway to get the type of
RAM memory regions as they were tracked using a single bit in
page_struct (WB, nonWB). Now we can get the actual type from page struct
(WB, WC, UC_MINUS) and make sure the requester gets that type.

just tracked WB or NonWB, which was not complete and did not allow

PAT memtype tracking uses a linear link list to keep track of IO
(non-RAM) regions and their memtypes. The code used a last_accessed
pointer as a cache to speedup the lookup. As per discussions with
H. Peter Anvin a while back, having a rbtree here will avoid bad
performances in pathological cases where we may end up with huge
linked list. This may not add any noticable performance speedup
in normal case as the number of entires in PAT memtype list tend
to be ~20-30 range. The patch removes the "cached_entry" logic
as with rbtree we have more generic way of speeding up the lookup.
With this patch, we use rbtree to do the quick lookup. We still use
linked list as the memtype range tracked can be of different sizes
and can overlap in different ways. We also keep track of usage counts
with linked list.
Example:
Multiple ioremaps with different sizes
uncached-minus @ 0xfffff00000-0xfffff04000
uncached-minus @ 0xfffff02000-0xfffff03000
And one userlevel mmap and the thread forks a new process
uncached-minus @ 0xbf453000-0xbf454000
uncached-minus @ 0xbf453000-0xbf454000

This change ensures that, even for pat_disabled case, we take care of

ioremap() keeps the identity maps in sync and other APIs like pci and
/dev/mem mmap don't, which is not a very consistent behavior.

PAT code maps the ISA memory range as WB in the PAT attribute, so that
fixed range MTRR registers define the actual memory type (UC/WC/WT etc).
But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing,
as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is
WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each
4k page).
Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range
checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings
satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address
range.
