Subject: [PATCH] x86/PAT: have pat_enabled() properly reflect state when running on e.g. Xen
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022 16:50:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9385fa60-fa5d-f559-a137-6608408f88b0@suse.com> (raw)

The latest with commit bdd8b6c98239 ("drm/i915: replace X86_FEATURE_PAT
with pat_enabled()") pat_enabled() returning false (because of PAT
initialization being suppressed in the absence of MTRRs being announced
to be available) has become a problem: The i915 driver now fails to
initialize when running PV on Xen (i915_gem_object_pin_map() is where I
located the induced failure), and its error handling is flaky enough to
(at least sometimes) result in a hung system.

Yet even beyond that problem the keying of the use of WC mappings to
pat_enabled() (see arch_can_pci_mmap_wc()) means that in particular
graphics frame buffer accesses would have been quite a bit less
performant than possible.

Arrange for the function to return true in such environments, without
undermining the rest of PAT MSR management logic considering PAT to be
disabled: Specifically, no writes to the PAT MSR should occur.

For the new boolean to live in .init.data, init_cache_modes() also needs
moving to .init.text (where it could/should have lived already before).

On the system where I observed the issue, a knock-on effect of driver
initialization failing was that the SATA-controller also started to
report failures.
