This patchset adds support of Write-Through (WT) mapping on x86.
The study below shows that using WT mapping may be useful for
non-volatile memory.

http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2012/HPL-2012-236.pdf

All new/modified interfaces have been tested.

v8:
- Rebased to 4.0-rc1 and resolved conflicts with 9d34cfdf4 in
  patch 5/7.

v7:
- Rebased to 3.19-rc3 as Juergen's patchset for the PAT management
  has been accepted.

v6:
- Dropped the patch moving [set|get]_page_memtype() to pat.c
  since the tip branch already has this change.
- Fixed an issue when CONFIG_X86_PAT is not defined.

v5:
- Clarified comment of why using slot 7. (Andy Lutomirski,
  Thomas Gleixner)
- Moved [set|get]_page_memtype() to pat.c. (Thomas Gleixner)
- Removed BUG() from set_page_memtype(). (Thomas Gleixner)

v4:
- Added set_memory_wt() by adding WT support of regular memory.

v3:
- Dropped the set_memory_wt() patch. (Andy Lutomirski)
- Refactored the !pat_enabled handling. (H. Peter Anvin,
  Andy Lutomirski)
- Added the picture of PTE encoding. (Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk)

v2:
- Changed WT to use slot 7 of the PAT MSR. (H. Peter Anvin,
  Andy Lutomirski)
- Changed to have conservative checks to exclude all Pentium 2, 3,
  M, and 4 families. (Ingo Molnar, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh,
  Andy Lutomirski)
- Updated documentation to cover WT interfaces and usages.
  (Andy Lutomirski, Yigal Korman)

* [PATCH v8 1/7] x86, mm, pat: Set WT to PA7 slot of PAT MSR
  2015-02-25  0:14 ` Toshi Kani

	konrad.wilk, Elliott, Toshi Kani

This patch sets WT to the PA7 slot in the PAT MSR when the processor
is not affected by the PAT errata.  The PA7 slot is chosen to improve
robustness in the presence of errata that might cause the high PAT bit
to be ignored.  This way a buggy PA7 slot access will hit the PA3 slot,
which is UC, so at worst we lose performance without causing a correctness
issue.

The following Intel processors are affected by the PAT errata.

   errata               cpuid
   ----------------------------------------------------
   Pentium 2, A52       family 0x6, model 0x5
   Pentium 3, E27       family 0x6, model 0x7, 0x8
   Pentium 3 Xenon, G26 family 0x6, model 0x7, 0x8, 0xa
   Pentium M, Y26       family 0x6, model 0x9
   Pentium M 90nm, X9   family 0x6, model 0xd
   Pentium 4, N46       family 0xf, model 0x0

Instead of making sharp boundary checks, this patch makes conservative
checks to exclude all Pentium 2, 3, M and 4 family processors.  For
such processors, _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WT is redirected to UC- per the
default setup in __cachemode2pte_tbl[].

* [PATCH v8 2/7] x86, mm, pat: Change reserve_memtype() to handle WT

	konrad.wilk, Elliott, Toshi Kani

This patch changes reserve_memtype() to handle the WT cache mode
with PAT.  When PAT is not enabled, WB and UC- are the only types
supported.

When a target range is in RAM, reserve_ram_pages_type() verifies
the requested type.  In this case, WT and WP requests fail with
-EINVAL and UC gets redirected to UC- since set_page_memtype() is
limited to handle three types, WB, WC and UC-.

* [PATCH v8 2/7] x86, mm, pat: Change reserve_memtype() to handle WT

This patch changes reserve_memtype() to handle the WT cache mode
with PAT.  When PAT is not enabled, WB and UC- are the only types
supported.

When a target range is in RAM, reserve_ram_pages_type() verifies
the requested type.  In this case, WT and WP requests fail with
-EINVAL and UC gets redirected to UC- since set_page_memtype() is
limited to handle three types, WB, WC and UC-.

	konrad.wilk, Elliott, Toshi Kani

This patch adds ioremap_wt() for creating WT mapping on x86.
It follows the same model as ioremap_wc() for multi-architecture
support.  ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WT is defined in the x86 version of
io.h to indicate that ioremap_wt() is implemented on x86.

Also update the PAT documentation file to cover ioremap_wt().

* [PATCH v8 5/7] x86, mm, pat: Refactor !pat_enabled handling

This patch refactors the !pat_enabled handling code and integrates
it into the PAT abstraction code. The PAT table is emulated by
corresponding to the two cache attribute bits, PWT (Write Through)
and PCD (Cache Disable). The emulated PAT table is the same as the
BIOS default setup when the system has PAT but the "nopat" boot
option is specified. The emulated PAT table is also used when
MSR_IA32_CR_PAT returns 0 (9d34cfdf4).

* [PATCH v8 6/7] x86, mm, asm: Add WT support to set_page_memtype()

As set_memory_wb() calls set_page_memtype() with -1, _PGMT_DEFAULT is
solely used for tracking the WB type.  _PGMT_WB is defined but unused.
Hence, this patch renames _PGMT_DEFAULT to _PGMT_WB to clarify its
usage, and releases the slot used by _PGMT_WB before.  As a result,
set_memory_wb() is changed to call set_page_memtype() with _PGMT_WB,
and get_page_memtype() returns _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB for _PGMT_WB.

This patch then defines _PGMT_WT to the released slot.  This enables
set_page_memtype() to track the WT type.

* [PATCH v8 6/7] x86, mm, asm: Add WT support to set_page_memtype()
@ 2015-02-25  0:15   ` Toshi Kani

As set_memory_wb() calls set_page_memtype() with -1, _PGMT_DEFAULT is
solely used for tracking the WB type.  _PGMT_WB is defined but unused.
Hence, this patch renames _PGMT_DEFAULT to _PGMT_WB to clarify its
usage, and releases the slot used by _PGMT_WB before.  As a result,
set_memory_wb() is changed to call set_page_memtype() with _PGMT_WB,
and get_page_memtype() returns _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB for _PGMT_WB.

This patch then defines _PGMT_WT to the released slot.  This enables
set_page_memtype() to track the WT type.

This patch adds set_memory_wt(), set_memory_array_wt() and
set_pages_array_wt() for setting specified range(s) of the
regular memory to WT.

So by default we make new APIs EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(): we 
don't want proprietary modules mucking around with new code 
PAT interfaces, we only want modules we can analyze and fix 
in detail.

Thanks,

Right.  I have one question for this case.  This set_pages_array_wt()
extends the set_pages_array_xx() family, which are all exported with
EXPORT_SYMBOL() today.  In this case, should we keep them exported in
the consistent manner, or should we still use GPL when adding a new one?

Thanks,

Still keep it GPL, it's a new API that old modules 
obviously don't use.
