commit ad025a73f0e9344ac73ffe1b74c184033e08e7d5 upstream.

get_mtrr_state() calls pat_init() on BSP even if MTRR is disabled.
This results in calling pat_init() on BSP only since APs do not call
pat_init() when MTRR is disabled.  This inconsistency between BSP
and APs leads to undefined behavior.

Make BSP's calling condition to pat_init() consistent with AP's,
mtrr_ap_init() and mtrr_aps_init().

<title>x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions</title>

<id>594055cf63d2ed5b06387f91ce9505ae651fc38d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit edfe63ec97ed8d4496225f7ba54c9ce4207c5431 upstream.

A Xorg failure on qemu32 was reported as a regression [1] caused by
commit 9cd25aac1f44 ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled").

This patch fixes the Xorg crash.

Negative effects of this regression were the following two failures [2]
in Xorg on QEMU with QEMU CPU model "qemu32" (-cpu qemu32), which were
triggered by the fact that its virtual CPU does not support MTRRs.

 #1. copy_process() failed in the check in reserve_pfn_range()

    copy_process
     copy_mm
      dup_mm
       dup_mmap
        copy_page_range
         track_pfn_copy
          reserve_pfn_range

 A WC map request was tracked as WC in memtype, which set a PTE as
 UC (pgprot) per __cachemode2pte_tbl[].  This led to this error in
 reserve_pfn_range() called from track_pfn_copy(), which obtained
 a pgprot from a PTE.  It converts pgprot to page_cache_mode, which
 does not necessarily result in the original page_cache_mode since
 __cachemode2pte_tbl[] redirects multiple types to UC.

 #2. error path in copy_process() then hit WARN_ON_ONCE in
     untrack_pfn().

     x86/PAT: Xorg:509 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-
     minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining
      Call Trace:
     dump_stack
     warn_slowpath_common
     ? untrack_pfn
     ? untrack_pfn
     warn_slowpath_null
     untrack_pfn
     ? __kunmap_atomic
     unmap_single_vma
     ? pagevec_move_tail_fn
     unmap_vmas
     exit_mmap
     mmput
     copy_process.part.47
     _do_fork
     SyS_clone
     do_syscall_32_irqs_on
     entry_INT80_32

These negative effects are caused by two separate bugs, but they
can be addressed in separate patches.  Fixing the pat_init() issue
described below addresses the root cause, and avoids Xorg to hit
these cases.

When the CPU does not support MTRRs, MTRR does not call pat_init(),
which leaves PAT enabled without initializing PAT.  This pat_init()
issue is a long-standing issue, but manifested as issue #1 (and then
hit issue #2) with the above-mentioned commit because the memtype
now tracks cache attribute with 'page_cache_mode'.

This pat_init() issue existed before the commit, but we used pgprot
in memtype.  Hence, we did not have issue #1 before.  But WC request
resulted in WT in effect because WC pgrot is actually WT when PAT
is not initialized.  This is not how it was designed to work.  When
PAT is set to disable properly, WC is converted to UC.  The use of
WT can result in a system crash if the target range does not support
WT.  Fortunately, nobody ran into such issue before.

To fix this pat_init() issue, PAT code has been enhanced to provide
pat_disable() interface.  Call this interface when MTRRs are disabled.
By setting PAT to disable properly, PAT bypasses the memtype check,
and avoids issue #1.

<title>x86/mm/mtrr: Remove kernel internal MTRR interfaces: unexport mtrr_add() and mtrr_del()</title>

<content type='text'>
The effort to replace mtrr_add() with architecture agnostic
arch_phys_wc_add() is complete, this will ensure write-combining
implementations (PAT on x86) is taken advantage instead of using
MTRR. With the effort done now, hide direct MTRR access for
drivers.

The legacy user-space /proc/mtrr ABI is not affected.

Update x86 documentation on MTRR to reflect the completion of
the phasing out of direct access to MTRR, also add a note on
platform firmware code use of MTRRs based on the obituary
discussion of MTRRs on Linux [0].

<title>x86/mm/pat: Wrap pat_enabled into a function API</title>

<id>cb32edf65bf2197a2d2226e94c7602dc92e295bb</id>
<content type='text'>
We use pat_enabled in x86-specific code to see if PAT is enabled
or not but we're granting full access to it even though readers
do not need to set it. If, for instance, we granted access to it
to modules later they then could override the variable
setting... no bueno.

This renames pat_enabled to a new static variable __pat_enabled.
Folks are redirected to use pat_enabled() now.

Code that sets this can only be internal to pat.c. Apart from
the early kernel parameter "nopat" to disable PAT, we also have
a few cases that disable it later and make use of a helper
pat_disable(). It is wrapped under an ifdef but since that code
cannot run unless PAT was enabled its not required to wrap it
with ifdefs, unwrap that. Likewise, since "nopat" doesn't really
change non-PAT systems just remove that ifdef as well.

Although we could add and use an early_param_off(), these
helpers don't use __read_mostly but we want to keep
__read_mostly for __pat_enabled as this is a hot path -- upon
boot, for instance, a simple guest may see ~4k accesses to
pat_enabled(). Since __read_mostly early boot params are not
that common we don't add a helper for them just yet.

We use pat_enabled in x86-specific code to see if PAT is enabled
or not but we're granting full access to it even though readers
do not need to set it. If, for instance, we granted access to it
to modules later they then could override the variable
setting... no bueno.

This renames pat_enabled to a new static variable __pat_enabled.
Folks are redirected to use pat_enabled() now.

Code that sets this can only be internal to pat.c. Apart from
the early kernel parameter "nopat" to disable PAT, we also have
a few cases that disable it later and make use of a helper
pat_disable(). It is wrapped under an ifdef but since that code
cannot run unless PAT was enabled its not required to wrap it
with ifdefs, unwrap that. Likewise, since "nopat" doesn't really
change non-PAT systems just remove that ifdef as well.

Although we could add and use an early_param_off(), these
helpers don't use __read_mostly but we want to keep
__read_mostly for __pat_enabled as this is a hot path -- upon
boot, for instance, a simple guest may see ~4k accesses to
pat_enabled(). Since __read_mostly early boot params are not
that common we don't add a helper for them just yet.

<title>x86/mm/mtrr: Generalize runtime disabling of MTRRs</title>

It is possible to enable CONFIG_MTRR and CONFIG_X86_PAT and end
up with a system with MTRR functionality disabled but PAT
functionality enabled. This can happen, for instance, when the
Xen hypervisor is used where MTRRs are not supported but PAT is.
This can happen on Linux as of commit

  47591df50512 ("xen: Support Xen pv-domains using PAT")

by Juergen, introduced in v3.19.

Technically, we should assume the proper CPU bits would be set
to disable MTRRs but we can't always rely on this. At least on
the Xen Hypervisor, for instance, only X86_FEATURE_MTRR was
disabled as of Xen 4.4 through Xen commit 586ab6a [0], but not
X86_FEATURE_K6_MTRR, X86_FEATURE_CENTAUR_MCR, or
X86_FEATURE_CYRIX_ARR for instance.

Roger Pau Monné has clarified though that although this is
technically true we will never support PVH on these CPU types so
Xen has no need to disable these bits on those systems. As per
Roger, AMD K6, Centaur and VIA chips don't have the necessary
hardware extensions to allow running PVH guests [1].

As per Toshi it is also possible for the BIOS to disable MTRR
support, in such cases get_mtrr_state() would update the MTRR
state as per the BIOS, we need to propagate this information as
well.

x86 MTRR code relies on quite a bit of checks for mtrr_if being
set to check to see if MTRRs did get set up. Instead, lets
provide a generic getter for that. This also adds a few checks
where they were not before which could potentially safeguard
ourselves against incorrect usage of MTRR where this was not
desirable.

Where possible match error codes as if MTRRs were disabled on
arch/x86/include/asm/mtrr.h.

Lastly, since disabling MTRRs can happen at run time and we
could end up with PAT enabled, best record now in our logs when
MTRRs are disabled.

There is only one user but since we're going to bury MTRR next
out of access to drivers, expose this last piece of API to
drivers in a general fashion only needing io.h for access to

As part of the effort to phase out MTRR use document
write-combining MTRR effects on pages with different non-PAT
page attributes flags and different PAT entry values. Extend
arch_phys_wc_add() documentation to clarify power of two sizes /
boundary requirements as we phase out mtrr_add() use.

Lastly hint towards ioremap_uc() for corner cases on device
drivers working with devices with mixed regions where MTRR size
requirements would otherwise not enable write-combining
effective memory types.

The original motivation for these patches was for an Intel CPU
feature called MPX.  The patch to add a disabled feature for it
will go in with the other parts of the support.

But, in the meantime, there are a few other features than MPX
that we can make assumptions about at compile-time based on
compile options.  Add them to disabled-features.h and check them
with cpu_feature_enabled().

Note that this gets rid of the last things that needed an #ifdef
CONFIG_X86_64 in cpufeature.h.  Yay!

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "Okay this is the big one, I was stalled on the fbdev pull req as I
  stupidly let fbdev guys merge a patch I required to fix a warning with
  some patches I had, they ended up merging the patch from the wrong
  place, but the warning should be fixed.  In future I'll just take the
  patch myself!

  Outside drm:

  There are some snd changes for the HDMI audio interactions on haswell,
  they've been acked for inclusion via my tree.  This relies on the
  wound/wait tree from Ingo which is already merged.

  Major changes:

  AMD finally released the dynamic power management code for all their
  GPUs from r600-&gt;present day, this is great, off by default for now but
  also a huge amount of code, in fact it is most of this pull request.

  Since it landed there has been a lot of community testing and Alex has
  sent a lot of fixes for any bugs found so far.  I suspect radeon might
  now be the biggest kernel driver ever :-P p.s.  radeon.dpm=1 to enable
  dynamic powermanagement for anyone.

  New drivers:

  Renesas r-car display unit.

  Other highlights:

   - core: GEM CMA prime support, use new w/w mutexs for TTM
     reservations, cursor hotspot, doc updates
   - dvo chips: chrontel 7010B support
   - i915: Haswell (fbc, ips, vecs, watermarks, audio powerwell),
     Valleyview (enabled by default, rc6), lots of pll reworking, 30bpp
     support (this time for sure)
   - nouveau: async buffer object deletion, context/register init
     updates, kernel vp2 engine support, GF117 support, GK110 accel
     support (with external nvidia ucode), context cleanups.
   - exynos: memory leak fixes, Add S3C64XX SoC series support, device
     tree updates, common clock framework support,
   - qxl: cursor hotspot support, multi-monitor support, suspend/resume
     support
   - mgag200: hw cursor support, g200 mode limiting
   - shmobile: prime support
   - tegra: fixes mostly

  I've been banging on this quite a lot due to the size of it, and it
  seems to okay on everything I've tested it on."

<title>x86: Fix /proc/mtrr with base/size more than 44bits</title>

On one sytem that mtrr range is more then 44bits, in dmesg we have
[    0.000000] MTRR default type: write-back
[    0.000000] MTRR fixed ranges enabled:

[    0.000000]   8 disabled
[    0.000000]   9 disabled

but /proc/mtrr report wrong:
reg00: base=0x080000000 ( 2048MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: uncachable
reg01: base=0x80000000000 (8388608MB), size=1048576MB, count=1: uncachable
reg02: base=0x099000000 ( 2448MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-through
reg03: base=0x09a000000 ( 2464MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-through
reg04: base=0x81ffa000000 (8519584MB), size=   32MB, count=1: write-through
reg05: base=0x81ffc000000 (8519616MB), size=    1MB, count=1: write-through
reg06: base=0x0ad000000 ( 2768MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-through
reg07: base=0x0bd000000 ( 3024MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-through
reg08: base=0x09b000000 ( 2480MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-combining

so bit 44 and bit 45 get cut off.

We have problems in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c::generic_get_mtrr().
1. for base, we miss cast base_lo to 64bit before shifting.
Fix that by adding u64 casting.

2. for size, it only can handle 44 bits aka 32bits + page_shift
Fix that with 64bit mask instead of 32bit mask_lo, then range could be
more than 44bits.
At the same time, we need to update size_or_mask for old cpus that does
support cpuid 0x80000008 to get phys_addr. Need to set high 32bits
to all 1s, otherwise will not get correct size for them.

Also fix mtrr_add_page: it should check base and (base + size - 1)
instead of base and size, as base and size could be small but
base + size could bigger enough to be out of boundary. We can
use boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits directly to avoid size_or_mask.

So When are we going to have size more than 44bits? that is 16TiB.

after patch we have right ouput:
reg00: base=0x080000000 ( 2048MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: uncachable
reg01: base=0x380000000000 (58720256MB), size=1048576MB, count=1: uncachable
reg02: base=0x099000000 ( 2448MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-through
reg03: base=0x09a000000 ( 2464MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-through
reg04: base=0x381ffa000000 (58851232MB), size=   32MB, count=1: write-through
reg05: base=0x381ffc000000 (58851264MB), size=    1MB, count=1: write-through
reg06: base=0x0ad000000 ( 2768MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-through
reg07: base=0x0bd000000 ( 3024MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-through
reg08: base=0x09b000000 ( 2480MB), size=   16MB, count=1: write-combining

-v2: simply checking in mtrr_add_page according to hpa.

[ hpa: This probably wants to go into -stable only after having sat in
  mainline for a bit.  It is not a regression. ]
