Does it mean "write-combining"? Currently it is used to globally switch on or off PAT support. Thus I renamed it to pat_enabled.

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.

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.

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 rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root filesystem at boot time. All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole. I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part. Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation): http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug. More memory gets the bug more rarely. Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail: Start from "mount_block_root", http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297 There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes. Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first string is no problem. But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the first in list. Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount. Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains a full page. The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()": http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540 Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault handler was not called. No problem. In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320 The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000. It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc". The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332 "vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault() got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282 No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup. This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also was not existing. The endless began... In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

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.

Tracing this back showed that the NODE_DATA() pointers were being initialised to each nodes remap space. However under SPARSEMEM remap is disabled which leads to the pgdat's being placed incorrectly at kernel virtual address 0. Leading to the panic when attempting to allocate memory from these nodes. Numa remap was disabled in the commit below. This occured while fixing problems triggered when attempting to boot x86_32 NUMA SPARSEMEM kernels on non-numa hardware. x86: make NUMA work on 32-bit commit 1b000a5dbeb2f34bc03d45ebdf3f6d24a60c3aed The real problem is believed to be related to other alignment issues in the regions blocked out from the bootmem allocator for small memory systems, and has been fixed separately. Therefore re-enable remap for SPARSMEM, which fixes pgdat allocation issues. Testing confirms that SPARSMEM NUMA kernels will boot correctly with this part of the change reverted.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After resume on a 2cpu laptop, kernel builds collapse with a sed hang, sh or make segfault (often on 20295564), real-time signal to cc1 etc. Several hurdles to jump, but a manually-assisted bisect led to -rc1's d2bcbad5f3ad38a1c09861bca7e252dde7bb8259 x86: do not zap_low_mappings in __smp_prepare_cpus. Though the low mappings were removed at bootup, they were left behind (with Global flags helping to keep them in TLB) after resume or cpu online, causing the crashes seen. Reinstate zap_low_mappings (with local __flush_tlb_all) for each cpu_up on x86_32. This used to be serialized by smp_commenced_mask: that's now gone, but a low_mappings flag will do. No need for native_smp_cpus_done to repeat the zap: let mem_init zap BSP's low mappings just like on UP. (In passing, fix error code from native_cpu_up: do_boot_cpu returns a variety of diagnostic values, Dprintk what it says but convert to -EIO. And save_pg_dir separately before zap_low_mappings: doesn't matter now, but zapping twice in succession wiped out resume's swsusp_pg_dir.) That worked well on the duo and one quad, but wouldn't boot 3rd or 4th cpu on P4 Xeon, oopsing just after unlock_ipi_call_lock. The TLB flush IPI now being sent reveals a long-standing bug: the booting cpu has its APIC readied in smp_callin at the top of start_secondary, but isn't put into the cpu_online_map until just before that unlock_ipi_call_lock. So native_smp_call_function_mask to online cpus would send_IPI_allbutself, including the cpu just coming up, though it has been excluded from the count to wait for: by the time it handles the IPI, the call data on native_smp_call_function_mask's stack may well have been overwritten. So fall back to send_IPI_mask while cpu_online_map does not match cpu_callout_map: perhaps there's a better APICological fix to be made at the start_secondary end, but I wouldn't know that.
