1f9cc3cb6a x86, pat: Update the page flags for memtype atomically instead of using memtype_lock
While testing an application using the xpmem (out of kernel) driver, we
noticed a significant page fault rate reduction of x86_64 with respect
to ia64.  For one test running with 32 cpus, one thread per cpu, it
took 01:08 for each of the threads to vm_insert_pfn 2GB worth of pages.
For the same test running on 256 cpus, one thread per cpu, it took 14:48
to vm_insert_pfn 2 GB worth of pages.

The slowdown was tracked to lookup_memtype which acquires the
spinlock memtype_lock.  This heavily contended lock was slowing down
vm_insert_pfn().

With the cmpxchg on page->flags method, both the 32 cpu and 256 cpu
cases take approx 00:01.3 seconds to complete.

4f64625412 arch/x86: Add array variants for setting memory to wc caching.
Setting single memory pages at a time to wc takes a lot time in cache flush. To
reduce number of cache flush set_pages_array_wc and set_memory_array_wc can be
used to set multiple pages to WC with single cache flush.

This improves allocation performance for wc cached pages in drm/ttm.

2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

502f660466 x86, cpa: Fix kernel text RO checks in static_protection()
Steven Rostedt reported that we are unconditionally making the
kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to
the kernel text area for setting/clearing any page table
attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for
the kernel text mapping that is set at compile time.

We should delay (to forbid the write attribute) and enforce only
after the kernel has mapped the text as read-only.

f584174096 x86, pat: Use page flags to track memtypes of RAM pages
Change reserve_ram_pages_type and free_ram_pages_type to use 2 page
flags to track UC_MINUS, WC, WB and default types. Previous RAM tracking
just tracked WB or NonWB, which was not complete and did not allow
tracking of RAM fully and there was no way to get the actual type
reserved by looking at the page flags.

We use the memtype_lock spinlock for atomicity in dealing with
memtype tracking in struct page.

1623963097 ftrace, x86: make kernel text writable only for conversions
Impact: keep kernel text read only

Because dynamic ftrace converts the calls to mcount into and out of
nops at run time, we needed to always keep the kernel text writable.

But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts
the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts
it back to read only afterward.

The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to
modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only.

The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK
or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that
using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what
its state will actually be.

Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions
themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is
OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.

[ Update: Ingo Molnar suggested moving the prototypes to cacheflush.h ]
