The x86 architecture offers via the PAT (Page Attribute Table) a way to
specify different caching modes in page table entries. The PAT MSR contains
8 entries each specifying one of 6 possible cache modes. A pte references one
of those entries via 3 bits: _PAGE_PAT, _PAGE_PWT and _PAGE_PCD.

The Linux kernel currently supports only 4 different cache modes. The PAT MSR
is set up in a way that the setting of _PAGE_PAT in a pte doesn't matter: the
top 4 entries in the PAT MSR are the same as the 4 lower entries.

This results in the kernel not supporting e.g. write-through mode. Especially
this cache mode would speed up drivers of video cards which now have to use
uncached accesses.

OTOH some old processors (Pentium) don't support PAT correctly and the Xen
hypervisor has been using a different PAT MSR configuration for some time now
and can't change that as this setting is part of the ABI.

This patch set abstracts the cache mode from the pte and introduces tables to
translate between cache mode and pte bits (the default cache mode "write back"
is hard-wired to PAT entry 0). The tables are statically initialized with
values being compatible to old processors and current usage. As soon as the
PAT MSR is changed (or - in case of Xen - is read at boot time) the tables are
changed accordingly. Requests of mappings with special cache modes are always
possible now, in case they are not supported there will be a fallback to a
compatible but slower mode.

Summing it up, this patch set adds the following features:
- capability to support WT and WP cache modes on processors with full PAT
  support
- processors with no or uncorrect PAT support are still working as today, even
  if WT or WP cache mode are selected by drivers for some pages
- reduction of Xen special handling regarding cache mode

Changes in V3:
- corrected two minor nits (UC_MINUS, again) detected by Toshi Kani

Changes in V2:
- simplified handling of PAT MSR write under Xen as suggested by David Vrabel
- removed resetting of pat_enabled under Xen
- two small corrections requested by Toshi Kani (UC_MINUS cache mode in
  vermilion driver, fix 32 bit kernel build failure)
- correct build error on non-x86 arch by moving definition of
  update_cache_mode_entry() to x86 specific header

Changes since RFC:
- renamed functions and variables as suggested by Toshi Kani
- corrected cache mode bits for WT and WP
- modified handling of PAT MSR write under Xen as suggested by Jan Beulich


Juergen Gross (3):
  x86: Make page cache mode a real type
  x86: Enable PAT to use cache mode translation tables
  Support Xen pv-domains using PAT

At the moment there are a lot of places that handle setting or getting
the page cache mode by treating the pgprot bits equal to the cache mode.
This is only true because there are a lot of assumptions about the setup
of the PAT MSR. Otherwise the cache type needs to get translated into
pgprot bits and vice versa.

This patch tries to prepare for that by introducing a seperate type
for the cache mode and adding functions to translate between those and
pgprot values.

To avoid too much performance penalty the translation between cache mode
and pgprot values is done via tables which contain the relevant
information.  Write-back cache mode is hard-wired to be 0, all other
modes are configurable via those tables. For large pages there are
translation functions as the PAT bit is located at different positions
in the ptes of 4k and large pages.

Update the translation tables from cache mode to pgprot values
according to the PAT settings. This enables changing the cache
attributes of a PAT index in just one place without having to change
at the users side.

With this change it is possible to use the same kernel with different
PAT configurations, e.g. supporting Xen.

With the dynamical mapping between cache modes and pgprot values it is
now possible to use all cache modes via the Xen hypervisor PAT settings
in a pv domain.

All to be done is to read the PAT configuration MSR and set up the
translation tables accordingly.

You might want to use a #define for the 8 eight value. Or just have 
a comment saying it is to match the PAT0-7 entries.

Maybe mention SDM 11.12.3 and how the PAT, PCT, PWT play a role
in determining which PATi is selected; and how the PATi memory types
match up with the _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_NUM enums?

Also I would say:

You are fixing this as well (might want to mention that in the description).

Nicely put. Could be replicated in the pte2cm_idx on how it is suppose to work.
