3e39aa156a x86 mmiotrace: improve handling of secondary faults
Upgrade some kmmio.c debug messages to warnings.
Allow secondary faults on probed pages to fall through, and only log
secondary faults that are not due to non-present pages.

Split set_page_presence() in kmmio.c into two more functions set_pmd_presence()
and set_pte_presence(). Purely code reorganization, no functional changes.

5359b585fb x86 mmiotrace: fix save/restore page table state
From baa99e2b32449ec7bf147c234adfa444caecac8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Pekka Paalanen <pq@iki.fi>

Blindly setting _PAGE_PRESENT in disarm_kmmio_fault_page() overlooks the
possibility, that the page was not present when it was armed.

Make arm_kmmio_fault_page() store the previous page presence in struct
kmmio_fault_page and use it on disarm.

This patch was originally written by Stuart Bennett, but Pekka Paalanen
rewrote it a little different.

e9d54cae8f x86 mmiotrace: WARN_ONCE if dis/arming a page fails
Print a full warning once, if arming or disarming a page fails.

Also, if initial arming fails, do not handle the page further. This
avoids the possibility of a page failing to arm and then later claiming
to have handled any fault on that page.

WARN_ONCE added by Pekka Paalanen.

5ff93697fc x86: add far read test to testmmiotrace
Apparently pages far into an ioremapped region might not actually be
mapped during ioremap(). Add an optional read test to try to trigger a
multiply faulting MMIO access. Also add more messages to the kernel log
to help debugging.

This patch is based on a patch suggested by
Stuart Bennett <stuart@freedesktop.org>
who discovered bugs in mmiotrace related to normal kernel space faults.

f5c1aa1537 Revert "gpu/drm, x86, PAT: PAT support for io_mapping_*"
This reverts commit 17581ad812.

Sitsofe Wheeler reported that /dev/dri/card0 is MIA on his EeePC 900
and bisected it to this commit.

Graphics card is an i915 in an EeePC 900:

 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]:
   Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
     Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 04)

( Most likely the ioremap() of the driver failed and hence the card
  did not initialize. )

4ab0d47d0a gpu/drm, x86, PAT: io_mapping_create_wc and resource_size_t
io_mapping_create_wc should take a resource_size_t parameter in place of
unsigned long. With unsigned long, there will be no way to map greater than 4GB
address in i386/32 bit.

On x86, greater than 4GB addresses cannot be mapped on i386 without PAE. Return
error for such a case.

Patch also adds a structure for io_mapping, that saves the base, size and
type on HAVE_ATOMIC_IOMAP archs, that can be used to verify the offset on
io_mapping_map calls.

40823f737e x86: memtest: reuse test patterns when memtest parameter exceeds number of available patterns
Impact: fix unexpected behaviour when pattern number is out of range

Current implementation provides 4 patterns for memtest. The code doesn't
check whether the memtest parameter value exceeds the maximum pattern number.

Instead the memtest code pretends to test with non-existing patterns, e.g.
when booting with memtest=10 I've observed the following

  ...
  early_memtest: pattern num 10
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 0
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 1
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 2
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 3
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 4
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 5
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 6
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 7
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 8
  ...
  0000001000 - 0000006000 pattern 9
  ...

But in fact Linux didn't test anything for patterns > 4 as the default
case in memtest() is to leave the function.

I suggest to use the memtest parameter as the number of tests to be
performed and to re-iterate over all existing patterns.

cd1b68f08f x86, mm: fault.c, give another attempt at prefetch handing before SIGBUS
Impact: extend prefetch handling on 64-bit

Currently there's an extra is_prefetch() check done in do_sigbus(),
which we only do on 32 bits.

This is a last-ditch check before we terminate a task, so it's worth
giving prefetch instructions another chance - should none of our
existing quirks have caught a prefetch instruction related spurious
fault.

The only risk is if a prefetch causes a real sigbus, in that case
we'll not OOM but try another fault. But this code has been on
32-bit for a long time, so it should be fine in practice.

So do this on 64-bit too - and thus remove one more #ifdef.

1cc99544dd x86, mm: fault.c, unify oops handling
Impact: add oops-recursion check to 32-bit

Unify the oops state-machine, to the 64-bit version. It is
slightly more careful in that it does a recursion check
in oops_begin(), and is thus more likely to show the relevant
oops.

It also means that 32-bit will print one more line at the
end of pagefault triggered oopses:

 	printk(KERN_EMERG "CR2: %016lx\n", address);

Which is generally good information to be seen in partial-dump
digital-camera jpegs ;-)

The downside is the somewhat more complex critical path. Both
variants have been tested well meanwhile by kernel developers
crashing their boxes so i dont think this is a practical worry.

This removes 3 ugly #ifdefs from no_context() and makes the
function a lot nicer read.

121d5d0a7e x86, mm: fault.c, enable PF_RSVD checks on 32-bit too
Impact: improve page fault handling robustness

The 'PF_RSVD' flag (bit 3) of the page-fault error_code is a
relatively recent addition to x86 CPUs, so the 32-bit do_fault()
implementation never had it. This flag gets set when the CPU
detects nonzero values in any reserved bits of the page directory
entries.

Extend the existing 64-bit check for PF_RSVD in do_page_fault()
to 32-bit too. If we detect such a fault then we print a more
informative oops and the pagetables.

This unifies the code some more, removes an ugly #ifdef and improves
the 32-bit page fault code robustness a bit. It slightly increases
the 32-bit kernel text size.

107a03678c x86, mm: fault.c, refactor/simplify the is_prefetch() code
Impact: no functionality changed

Factor out the opcode checker into a helper inline.

The code got a tiny bit smaller:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4632	     32	     24	   4688	   1250	fault.o.before
   4618	     32	     24	   4674	   1242	fault.o.after

And it got cleaner / easier to review as well.

2d4a71676f x86, mm: fault.c cleanup
Impact: cleanup, no code changed

Clean up various small details, which can be correctness checked
automatically:

 - tidy up the include file section
 - eliminate unnecessary includes
 - introduce show_signal_msg() to clean up code flow
 - standardize the code flow
 - standardize comments and other style details
 - more cleanups, pointed out by checkpatch

No code changed on either 32-bit nor 64-bit:

arch/x86/mm/fault.o:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4632	     32	     24	   4688	   1250	fault.o.before
   4632	     32	     24	   4688	   1250	fault.o.after

the md5 changed due to a change in a single instruction:

   2e8a8241e7f0d69706776a5a26c90bc0  fault.o.before.asm
   c5c3d36e725586eb74f0e10692f0193e  fault.o.after.asm

Because a __LINE__ reference in a WARN_ONCE() has changed.

On 32-bit a few stack offsets changed - no code size difference
nor any functionality difference.

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 ]

7a5714e018 x86, pat: add large-PAT check to split_large_page()
Impact: future-proof the split_large_page() function

Linus noticed that split_large_page() is not safe wrt. the
PAT bit: it is bit 12 on the 1GB and 2MB page table level
(_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE), and it is bit 7 on the 4K page
table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT).

Currently it is not a problem because we never set
_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE on any of the large-page mappings - but
should this happen in the future the split_large_page() would
silently lift bit 12 into the lowlevel 4K pte and would start
corrupting the physical page frame offset. Not fun.

So add a debug warning, to make sure if something ever sets
the PAT bit then this function gets updated too.

3c3e5694ad x86: check PMD in spurious_fault handler
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on bad PMD permissions

If the PMD does not have the correct permissions for a page access,
but the PTE does, the spurious fault handler will mistake the fault
as a lazy TLB transaction. This will result in an infinite loop of:

 fault -> spurious_fault check (pass) -> return to code -> fault

This patch adds a check and a warn on if the PTE passes the permissions
but the PMD does not.

07a66d7c53 x86: use the right protections for split-up pagetables
Steven Rostedt found a bug in where in his modified kernel
ftrace was unable to modify the kernel text, due to the PMD
itself having been marked read-only as well in
split_large_page().

The fix, suggested by Linus, is to not try to 'clone' the
reference protection of a huge-page, but to use the standard
(and permissive) page protection bits of KERNPG_TABLE.

The 'cloning' makes sense for the ptes but it's a confused and
incorrect concept at the page table level - because the
pagetable entry is a set of all ptes and hence cannot
'clone' any single protection attribute - the ptes can be any
mixture of protections.

With the permissive KERNPG_TABLE, even if the pte protections
get changed after this point (due to ftrace doing code-patching
or other similar activities like kprobes), the resulting combined
protections will still be correct and the pte's restrictive
(or permissive) protections will control it.

Also update the comment.

This bug was there for a long time but has not caused visible
problems before as it needs a rather large read-only area to
trigger. Steve possibly hacked his kernel with some really
large arrays or so. Anyway, the bug is definitely worth fixing.

[ Huang Ying also experienced problems in this area when writing
  the EFI code, but the real bug in split_large_page() was not
  realized back then. ]
