Ingo Molnar d092633bff Subject: devmem, x86: fix rename of CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org>
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 15:47:17 -0700

CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM was a rather confusing name - but renaming it
to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM causes problems on architectures that do not
support this feature; this patch renames it to CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM,
so that architectures can opt-in into it.

( the polarity of the option is still the same as it was originally; it
  needs to be for now to not break architectures that don't have the
  infastructure yet to support this feature)

venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com fec0962e0b x86: Add a debugfs interface to dump PAT memtype
Add a debugfs interface to list out all the PAT memtype reservations.
Appears at debugfs x86/pat_memtype_list and output format is
type @ <start addr>-<end addr>

We do not hold the lock while printing the entire list. So, the list may not be
a consistent copy in case where regions are getting added or deleted
at the same time.

Ingo Molnar 64d206d896 x86: rename CONFIG_NONPROMISC_DEVMEM to CONFIG_PROMISC_DEVMEM
Linus observed:

> The real bug is that we shouldn't have "double negatives", and
> certainly not negative config options. Making that "promiscuous

right ... lets rename this option. There should never be a negation
in config options.

[ that reminds me of CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER, but that
  is for another commit ;-) ]

Andreas Herrmann 97cfab6ac4 x86: PAT: fix ambiguous paranoia check in pat_init()
Starting with commit 8d4a430085 (x86:
cleanup PAT cpu validation) the PAT CPU feature flag is not cleared
anymore. Now the error message

  "PAT enabled, but CPU feature cleared"

in pat_init() is misleading.

Furthermore the current code does not check for existence of the PAT
CPU feature flag if a CPU is whitelisted in validate_pat_support.

This patch clears pat_wc_enabled if boot CPU has no PAT feature flag
and adapts the paranoia check.

Venki Pallipadi c26421d019 x86: fix Xorg crash with xf86MapVidMem error
Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code
resilient to mtrr lookup problems.

Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what
conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type
when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat
consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup
for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr
lookup failure.

pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type
to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem
mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping
UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS
area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is
not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings.

(2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or
WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still
effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same
region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in
PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type
rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as
hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default.

In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the
memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple
users.

Thomas Gleixner 8d4a430085 x86: cleanup PAT cpu validation
Move the scattered checks for PAT support to a single function. Its
moved to addon_cpuid_features.c as this file is shared between 32 and
64 bit.

Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in
the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the
current CPU version/model white list.

Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the
future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but
the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo
that.

The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to
work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems
instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet
verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove
the white list and open the can of worms.

venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com 6997ab4982 x86: add PAT related debug prints
Adds debug prints at critical code. Adds enough info in dmesg to allow us to
do effective first round of analysis of any issues that may result due to PAT
patch series.

venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com 2e5d9c857d x86: PAT infrastructure patch
Sets up pat_init() infrastructure.

PAT MSR has following setting.
	PAT
	|PCD
	||PWT
	|||
	000 WB		_PAGE_CACHE_WB
	001 WC		_PAGE_CACHE_WC
	010 UC-		_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS
	011 UC		_PAGE_CACHE_UC

We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC.
UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem
users(X).

reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free
mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and
not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result
of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT.

pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr
are same.
