Subject: [PATCH v12 0/10] Support Write-Through mapping on x86
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2015 13:36:23 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433187393-22688-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hp.com> (raw)
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
The patchset consists of the following changes.
- Patch 1/10 to 6/10 add ioremap_wt()
- Patch 7/10 adds pgprot_writethrough()
- Patch 8/10 to 9/10 add set_memory_wt()
- Patch 10/10 changes the pmem driver to call ioremap_wt()
All new/modified interfaces have been tested.
The patchset is based on:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git#tip-mm-2
---
v12:
- Rebased to bp/bp.git#tip-mm-2 and resolved minor conflicts.
- Dropped cleanup patches 1-2 as redone by Boris.
v11:
- Reordered the refactor changes from patch 10-11 to 1-2.
(Borislav Petkov)
- Changed BUG() to panic(). (Borislav Petkov)
- Rebased to tip/master and resolved conflicts.
v10:
- Removed ioremap_writethrough(). (Thomas Gleixner)
- Clarified and cleaned up multiple comments and functions.
(Thomas Gleixner)
- Changed ioremap_change_attr() to accept the WT type.
v9:
- Changed to export the set_xxx_wt() interfaces with GPL.
(Ingo Molnar)
- Changed is_new_memtype_allowed() to handle WT cases.
- Changed arch-specific io.h to define ioremap_wt().
- Changed the pmem driver to use ioremap_wt().
- Rebased to 4.1-rc3 and resolved minor conflicts.
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)
