page_is_ram has a FIXME since ages, which reminds to sanity check the BIOS area between 640k and 1M, which is sometimes falsely reported as RAM in the e820 tables. Implement the sanity check. Move the BIOS range defines from pageattr.c into e820.h to avoid duplicate defines. Signed-off-by:

With the introduction of the new API, no driver or non-archcore code needs to use c-p-a anymore, so this patch also deprecates the EXPORT_SYMBOL of CPA (it's a horrible API after all). Signed-off-by:

This patch converts various users of change_page_attr() to the new, more intent driven set_page_*/set_memory_* API set. Signed-off-by:
-
Arjan van de Ven authored
Right now, if drivers or other code want to change, say, a cache attribute of a page, the only API they have is change_page_attr(). c-p-a is a really bad API for this, because it forces the caller to know *ALL* the attributes he wants for the page, not just the 1 thing he wants to change. So code that wants to set a page uncachable, needs to be aware of the NX status as well etc etc etc. This patch introduces a set of new APIs for this, set_pages_<attr> and set_memory_<attr>, that offer a logical change to the user, and leave all attributes not implied by the requested logical change alone.

Use change_page_attr_addr() instead of change_page_attr(), which simplifies the code significantly and matches the 64bit implementation. Signed-off-by:

Make c_p_a unconditional for ioremap and iounmap. This ensures complete consistency of the flags which are handed to ioremap_page_range and the real flags in the mappings. Signed-off-by:

64bit uses end_pfn_map and 32bit uses max_low_pfn. There are several files which have #ifdef'ed defines which map either to end_pfn_map or max_low_pfn. Replace this by a universal define and clean up all the other instances. Signed-off-by:

The pgprot flags which are handed into ioremap_page_range() are different to those which are set in change_page_attr(). The ioremap_page_range flags are executable, while the c_p_a flags are not. Signed-off-by:

The pgprot flags which are handed into ioremap_page_range() are different to those which are set in change_page_attr(). The ioremap_page_range flags are executable, while the c_p_a flags are not. Also make the mappings global (which is a NOP currently on 32bit, although CPUs from PPRO+ onwards support it, but that's a separate fix.) Signed-off-by:

What the check_exec() function really is trying to do is enforce certain bits in the pgprot that are required by the x86 architecture, but that callers might not be aware of (such as NX bit exclusion of the BIOS area for BIOS based PCI access; it's not uncommon to ioremap the BIOS region for various purposes and normally ioremap() memory has the NX bit set). This patch turns the check_exec() function into static_protections() which also is now used to make sure the kernel text area remains non-NX and that the .rodata section remains read-only. If the architecture ends up requiring more such mandatory prot settings for specific areas, this is now a reasonable place to add these. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a bug of ioremap_nocache. ioremap_nocache() will call __ioremap() with flags != 0 to do the real work, which will call change_page_attr_addr() if phys_addr + size - 1 < (end_pfn_map << PAGE_SHIFT). But some pages between 0 ~ end_pfn_map << PAGE_SHIFT are not mapped by identity map, this will make change_page_attr_addr failed. This patch is based on latest x86 git and has been tested on x86_64 platform. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on Intel i386/x86_64 CPUs. After changing page attribute to be executable with these functions, the page remains un-executable on Intel i386/x86_64 CPU. Because on Intel i386/x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all three level page tables are cleared (PAE is enabled), the corresponding page is executable (refer to section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual). So, the bug is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when splitting the huge PMD. Signed-off-by:
