[PATCH V4 0/5] x86: Create direct mappings for E820_RAM only

[PATCH V4 0/5] x86: Create direct mappings for E820_RAM only

[Jacob Shin]

Currently kernel direct mappings are created for all pfns between
[ 0 to max_low_pfn ) and [ 4GB to max_pfn ). When we introduce memory
holes, we end up mapping memory ranges that are not backed by physical
DRAM. This is fine for lower memory addresses which can be marked as UC
by fixed/variable range MTRRs, however we run in to trouble with high
addresses.

The following patchset creates direct mappings only for E820_RAM regions
between 0 ~ max_low_pfn and 4GB ~ max_pfn. And leaves non-E820_RAM and
memory holes unmapped.

This fourth revision of the patchset attempts to resolve comments and
concerns from the following threads:

* https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/22/680
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/13/512
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/9/536
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/20/323

Jacob Shin (5):
  x86: Move enabling of PSE and PGE out of init_memory_mapping
  x86: find_early_table_space based on memory ranges that are being
    mapped
  x86: Only direct map addresses that are marked as E820_RAM
  x86: Fixup code testing if a pfn is direct mapped
  x86: if kernel .text .data .bss are not marked as E820_RAM, complain
    and fix

[PATCH 1/5] x86: Move enabling of PSE and PGE out of init_memory_mapping

[Jacob Shin]

Depending on the platform, init_memory_mapping() may be called multiple
times. Move it out to setup_arch() to avoid writing to cr4 on every call.

please don't put it directly in setup_arch().

and another function.

can you use attached one to replace the first patch?

[-- Attachment #2: get_page_size_mask.patch --]
[-- Type: application/octet-stream, Size: 4702 bytes --]

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86, mm:  Introduce global page_size_mask

Add probe_page_size_mask() to detect if need to use 1G or 2M.
and store them in page_size_mask.

Only probe them at first init_memory_mapping calling.
second and later init_memory_mapping() calling does not need probe again.
also we don't need to pass use_gbpages around.

[PATCH 2/5] x86: find_early_table_space based on memory ranges that are being mapped

[Jacob Shin]

Current logic finds enough space for direct mapping page tables from 0
to end. Instead, we only need to find enough space to cover mr[0].start
to mr[nr_range].end -- the range that is actually being mapped by
init_memory_mapping()

This patch also reportedly fixes suspend/resume issue reported in:

[PATCH 3/5] x86: Only direct map addresses that are marked as E820_RAM

[Jacob Shin]

Currently direct mappings are created for [ 0 to max_low_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT )
and [ 4GB to max_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ), which may include regions that are not
backed by actual DRAM. This is fine for holes under 4GB which are covered
by fixed and variable range MTRRs to be UC. However, we run into trouble
on higher memory addresses which cannot be covered by MTRRs.

Our system with 1TB of RAM has an e820 that looks like this:

 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000000983ff] usable
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000098400-0x000000000009ffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000000d0000-0x00000000000fffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000c7ebffff] usable
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ec0000-0x00000000c7ed7fff] ACPI data
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ed8000-0x00000000c7ed9fff] ACPI NVS
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7eda000-0x00000000c7ffffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x00000000fec0ffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fee00000-0x00000000fee00fff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000e037ffffff] usable
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000e038000000-0x000000fcffffffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000010000000000-0x0000011ffeffffff] usable

and so direct mappings are created for huge memory hole between
0x000000e038000000 to 0x0000010000000000. Even though the kernel never
generates memory accesses in that region, since the page tables mark
them incorrectly as being WB, our (AMD) processor ends up causing a MCE
while doing some memory bookkeeping/optimizations around that area.

This patch iterates through e820 and only direct maps ranges that are
marked as E820_RAM, and keeps track of those pfn ranges. Depending on
the alignment of E820 ranges, this may possibly result in using smaller
size (i.e. 4K instead of 2M or 1G) page tables.

Darn, there is a typo here, should be '>>' not '<<', so sorry about that,
I'll resend in the bit .. my local testing didn't catch that because '<<'
caused the value to be 0.

The ISA range mapping doesn't really make sense *inside* the loop, no? 
It seems you could do that before you enter the loop and then simply have:

+		if (end <= ISA_END_ADDRESS)
+			continue;
+
+		if (start <= ISA_END_ADDRESS)
+			start = ISA_END_ADDRESS;

... no?

Right, I think what I was attempting to do was to merge the 1MB
with E820_RAM right above 1MB:

So instead of:

init_memory_mapping(0, 1MB)
init_memory_mapping(1MB, 2GB)

It would be:

init_memory_mapping(0, 2GB)

While taking care of the odd case where there is a gap right after
1MB.

But if its not worth it, I can move it out of the loop.

So that in the case where we have E820_RAM right above 1MB, we don't
call init_memory_mapping twice, first on 0 ~ 1MB and then 1MB ~ something

we only call it once. 0 ~ something.

I'll get it out of the loop if you don't think its a good idea.

if there is E820_RAM right above ISA region, then you get to initialize
0 ~ max_low_pfn in one big chunk, which results in some memory configurations
for more 2M or 1G page tables which means less space used for page tables.

im also worried about the case where that first call to init_memory_mapping
for 0 ~ 1MB, results in max_pfn_mapped = 1MB, and the next call to
init_memory_mapping is some large enough area, where we don't have enough
space under 1MB for all the page tables needed (maybe only 4K page tables
are supported or something).

We need to be able to coalesce small page tables to large, anyway; there
are plenty of machines in the field who do small chunks.  I'm not too
worried about the legacy region being in 4K pages; it will be broken
into 4K pages anyway by the TLB.

Another thing is that we may want to map from the top down (on i386 at
least top of lowmem down); we don't want to fill low memory with page
tables because of devices with restricted DMA masks.

This is serious... I'm worrying that this might be a more general
problem.  In that case we probably need to handle the case where we have
filled up all the "free" memory with page tables for the next chunk;
however, in that case the answer is pretty simple: we can then allow the
memory already mapped to become page tables for the new chunk.

looks like you could avoid add pfn_mapped[] array.

pfn_range_is_mapped() should be
check max_low_pfn_mapped, max_pfn_mapped with
e820_all_mapped(start, end, E820_RAM).

Hmm .. I guess that could work .. but what about EFI code that keys off of
EFI memory map? Does the EFI code update e820 and mark as E820_RAM whatever
ranges that it calls init_memory_mapping on (via efi_ioremap?)

I'll try your suggestion on Monday.

they are converted to e820 memmap before init_memory_mapping is called.

Yinghai, another question, what about hotplug? Are we guaranteed that
we will always be adding memory above max_pfn_mapped? And hotplug will
also update e820 to mark the range as E820_RAM as well?

Thanks!

I don't think we can rely on this...

Yinghai, looking into this further on my EFI enabled machine, there is a
memory range where:

- e820 marks it as E820_RESERVED
- EFI memory map marks it as EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA

During EFI init, the range is added (redundantly) to e820 as E820_RESERVED,
but during efi_enter_virtual_mode, direct mappings are created for the
range with a call to efi_ioremap.

Another such region is EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE which is marked as
ACPI NVS.

So these are not E820_RAM, but direct mapped by EFI code path .. what do
we do here? I think we should just stick with keeping the pfn_mapped[]
array .. no?

Re: [PATCH 3/5] x86: Only direct map addresses that are marked as E820_RAM

[H. Peter Anvin]

The EFI runtime code we need to map, but we shouldn't use as RAM.  I suspect this is also true for the ACPI areas.

[PATCH 4/5] x86: Fixup code testing if a pfn is direct mapped

[Jacob Shin]

Update code that previously assumed pfns [ 0 - max_low_pfn_mapped ) and
[ 4GB - max_pfn_mapped ) were always direct mapped, to now look up
pfn_mapped ranges instead.

[PATCH 5/5] x86: if kernel .text .data .bss are not marked as E820_RAM, complain and fix

[Jacob Shin]

There could be cases where user supplied memmap=exactmap memory
mappings do not mark the region where the kernel .text .data and
.bss reside as E820_RAM as reported here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/14/86

Handle it by complaining, and adding the range back into the e820.

           this sanitze_e820_map could be spared. trim_bios_range will

also should use brk_limit instead of bss_resource.end. aka need to
keep the map for brk area.
