Jan Beulich 9482ac6e34 x86: fix two modpost warnings in mm/init_64.c
early_io{re,un}map() are __init and hence can't be called from __meminit
functions.

Jan Beulich 8ae3a5a8df x86: fix 1:1 mapping init on 64-bit (memory hotplug case)
While I don't have a hotplug capable system at hand, I think two issues need
fixing:

- pud_phys (in kernel_physical_ampping_init()) would remain uninitialized in
  the after_bootmem case

- the locking done just around phys_pmd_{init,update}() would leave out pgd
  updates, and it was needlessly covering code portions that do allocations
  (perhaps using a more friendly gfp value in alloc_low_page() would then be
  possible)

Marcin Slusarz 8d6ea9674c x86: fix section mismatch warning - spp_getpage()
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x17a3e): Section mismatch in reference from the function set_pte_vaddr_pud() to the function .init.text:spp_getpage()
The function set_pte_vaddr_pud() references
the function __init spp_getpage().
This is often because set_pte_vaddr_pud lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of spp_getpage is wrong.

spp_getpage is called from __init (__init_extra_mapping) and
non __init (set_pte_vaddr_pud) functions, so it can't be __init.
Unfortunately it calls alloc_bootmem_pages which is __init,
but does it only when bootmem allocator is available (after_bootmem == 0).

So annotate it accordingly.

Hugh Dickins a06de63000 x86: fix /proc/meminfo DirectMap
Do we actually want these DirectMap lines in the x86 /proc/meminfo?
I can see they're interesting to CPA developers and TLB optimizers,
but they don't fit its usual "where has all my memory gone?" usage.
If they are to stay, here are some fixes.

1. On x86_32 without PAE, they're not 2M but 4M pages: no need to
   mess with the internal enum, but show the right name to users.

2. Many machines can never show anything but 0 for DirectMap1G,
   so suppress that line unless direct_gbpages are really enabled.

3. The unit in /proc/meminfo is kB not number of pages: HugePages
   messed that up, but they're an example to regret not to follow.

4. Once we use kB, it's easy to see that 1GB has gone missing (which
   explains why CONFIG_CPA_DEBUG=y soon wraps DirectMap2M negative):
   because head_64.S's level2_ident_pgt entries were not counted.
   My fix is not ideal, but works for more and for less than 1G,
   and avoids interfering with early bootup pagetable contortions.

This also removes the following redundant information display:

	- pages in swapcache, printed by show_swap_cache_info()
	- dirty pages, writeback pages, mapped pages, slab pages,
	  pagetable pages, printed by show_free_areas()

where show_mem() calls show_free_areas(), which calls

I don't know if this will fix this bug, but it's definitely a bugfix.
It was trashing random pages by overwriting them with pagetables...

Don't trash a large pmd's data when mapping physical memory.
This is a bugfix for "x86_64: adjust mapping of physical pagetables
to work with Xen".

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 4f9c11dd49 x86, 64-bit: adjust mapping of physical pagetables to work with Xen
This makes a few of changes to the construction of the initial
pagetables to work better with paravirt_ops/Xen.  The main areas
are:

 1. Support non-PSE mapping of memory, since Xen doesn't currently
    allow 2M pages to be mapped in guests.

 2. Make sure that the ioremap alias of all pages are dropped before
    attaching the new page to the pagetable.  This avoids having
    writable aliases of pagetable pages.

 3. Preserve existing pagetable entries, rather than overwriting.  Its
    possible that a fair amount of pagetable has already been constructed,
    so reuse what's already in place rather than ignoring and overwriting it.

The algorithm relies on the invariant that any page which is part of
the kernel pagetable is itself mapped in the linear memory area.  This
way, it can avoid using ioremap on a pagetable page.

The invariant holds because it maps memory from low to high addresses,
and also allocates memory from low to high.  Each allocated page can
map at least 2M of address space, so the mapped area will always
progress much faster than the allocated area.  It relies on the early
boot code mapping enough pages to get started.

72a7fe3967.

It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively
change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's
necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that
function.

The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic()

Andi Kleen ce0c0e50f9 x86, generic: CPA add statistics about state of direct mapping v4
Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to
/proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other
memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even
outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the
kernel will run slower.

This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how
many are split.

Useful for general insight into the kernel.

v2: Add hotplug locking to 64bit to plug a very obscure theoretical race.
    32bit doesn't need it because it doesn't support hotadd for lowmem.
    Fix some typos
v3: Rename dpages_cnt

Hugh Dickins 2884f110d5 x86: fix bad pmd ffff810000207xxx(9090909090909090)
OGAWA Hirofumi and Fede have reported rare pmd_ERROR messages:
mm/memory.c:127: bad pmd ffff810000207xxx(9090909090909090).

Initialization's cleanup_highmap was leaving alignment filler
behind in the pmd for MODULES_VADDR: when vmalloc's guard page
would occupy a new page table, it's not allocated, and then
module unload's vfree hits the bad 9090 pmd entry left over.

Pekka Paalanen 72b59d67f8 x86_64: fix kernel rodata NX setting
Without CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE, mark_rodata_ro() would mark a wrong
number of pages as no-execute. The bug was introduced in the patch
"ftrace: dont write protect kernel text". The symptom was machine reboot
after a CPU hotplug.

Steven Rostedt 8f0f996e80 ftrace: dont write protect kernel text
Dynamic ftrace cant work when the kernel has its text write protected.
This patch keeps the kernel from being write protected when
dynamic ftrace is in place.

Yinghai Lu 0327318445 x86_64: simplify the memtest parameter setting
use CONFIG_MEMTEST only. if it is set, will have memtest=0 (disabled)

need to have memtest=4 in command line to test more patterns.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 180c06efce hotplug-memory: make online_page() common
All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
just make it common code.  x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
identical; x86-32 is slightly different.

x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
zone.  We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately.  This
leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
add_one_highpage_init.

I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.
