x86/mm/pat: Add comments to cachemode translation tables

2015-08-20T19:26:12Z

Add comments to the cachemode translation tables to clarify that the default values are set as minimal supported mode, which are necessary to handle WC and WT fallback to UC- when they are not enabled.

x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled

2015-06-07T13:28:52Z

In the case when PAT is disabled on the command line with "nopat" or when virtualization doesn't support PAT (correctly) - see 9d34cfdf4796 ("x86: Don't rely on VMWare emulating PAT MSR correctly"). we emulate it using the PWT and PCD cache attribute bits. Get rid of boot_pat_state while at it. Based on a conglomerate patch from Toshi Kani.

x86/mm/pat: Initialize __cachemode2pte_tbl[] and __pte2cachemode_tbl[] in a bit more readable fashion

The initialization of these two arrays is a bit difficult to follow: restructure it optically so that a 2D structure shows which bit in the PTE is set and which not. Also improve on comments a bit.

x86/mm: Simplify probe_page_size_mask()

Now that we've simplified the gbpages config space, move the 'page_size_mask' initialization into probe_page_size_mask(), right next to the PSE and PGE enablement lines. Cc: Luis R.

x86/mm: Further simplify 1 GB kernel linear mappings handling

2015-03-05T08:23:04Z

It's a bit pointless to allow Kconfig configuration for 1GB kernel mappings, it's already hidden behind a 'default y' and CONFIG_EXPERT. Remove this complication and simplify the code by renaming CONFIG_ENABLE_DIRECT_GBPAGES to CONFIG_X86_DIRECT_GBPAGES and document the DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and KMEMCHECK quirks. Cc: Luis R.

The enabler / disabler is pretty simple, just use the provided wrappers, this lets us easily relate the variable to the associated Kconfig entry. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

x86/mm: Simplify enabling direct_gbpages

2015-03-05T07:02:12Z

direct_gbpages can be force enabled as an early parameter but not really have taken effect when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or KMEMCHECK is enabled. You can also enable direct_gbpages right now if you have an x86_64 architecture but your CPU doesn't really have support for this feature. In both cases PG_LEVEL_1G won't actually be enabled but direct_gbpages is used in other areas under the assumptions that PG_LEVEL_1G was set. Fix this by putting together all requirements which make this feature sensible to enable under, and only enable both finally flipping on PG_LEVEL_1G and leaving PG_LEVEL_1G set when this is true. We only enable this feature then to be possible on sensible builds defined by the new ENABLE_DIRECT_GBPAGES. If the CPU has support for it you can either enable this by using the DIRECT_GBPAGES option or using the early kernel parameter. If a platform had support for this you can always force disable it as well. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
