[PATCH v6 0/7] Support Write-Through mapping on x86

[PATCH v6 0/7] Support Write-Through mapping on x86

[Toshi Kani]

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

This patchset applies on top of the tip branch, which contains
Juergen's patchset for the PAT management.

All new/modified interfaces have been tested.

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 v6 1/7] x86, mm, pat: Set WT to PA7 slot of PAT MSR

[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 v6 2/7] x86, mm, pat: Change reserve_memtype() to handle WT

[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 v6 3/7] x86, mm, asm-gen: Add ioremap_wt() for WT

[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 v6 5/7] x86, mm, pat: Refactor !pat_enabled handling

[Toshi Kani]

This patch refactors the !pat_enabled handling code and integrates
this case 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 also the same as
the BIOS default setup in case the system has PAT but "nopat" boot
option is specified.

[PATCH v6 6/7] x86, mm, asm: Add WT support to set_page_memtype()

[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.
