      efi/x86: Revert struct layout change to fix kexec boot regression · a088b858
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      
Commit

  0a67361d ("efi/x86: Remove runtime table address from kexec EFI setup data")

removed the code that retrieves the non-remapped UEFI runtime services
pointer from the data structure provided by kexec, as it was never really
needed on the kexec boot path: mapping the runtime services table at its
non-remapped address is only needed when calling SetVirtualAddressMap(),
which never happens during a kexec boot in the first place.

However, dropping the 'runtime' member from struct efi_setup_data was a
mistake. That struct is shared ABI between the kernel and the kexec tooling
for x86, and so we cannot simply change its layout. So let's put back the
removed field, but call it 'unused' to reflect the fact that we never look
at its contents. While at it, add a comment to remind our future selves
that the layout is external ABI.

      efi/x86: Don't remap text<->rodata gap read-only for mixed mode · f6103162
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      
Commit

  d9e3d2c4 ("efi/x86: Don't map the entire kernel text RW for mixed mode")

updated the code that creates the 1:1 memory mapping to use read-only
attributes for the 1:1 alias of the kernel's text and rodata sections, to
protect it from inadvertent modification. However, it failed to take into
account that the unused gap between text and rodata is given to the page
allocator for general use.

If the vmap'ed stack happens to be allocated from this region, any by-ref
output arguments passed to EFI runtime services that are allocated on the
stack (such as the 'datasize' argument taken by GetVariable() when invoked
from efivar_entry_size()) will be referenced via a read-only mapping,
resulting in a page fault if the EFI code tries to write to it:

      mm/memory_hotplug: add pgprot_t to mhp_params · bfeb022f
      Logan Gunthorpe authored 
      
devm_memremap_pages() is currently used by the PCI P2PDMA code to create
struct page mappings for IO memory.  At present, these mappings are
created with PAGE_KERNEL which implies setting the PAT bits to be WB.
However, on x86, an mtrr register will typically override this and force
the cache type to be UC-.  In the case firmware doesn't set this
register it is effectively WB and will typically result in a machine
check exception when it's accessed.

Other arches are not currently likely to function correctly seeing they
don't have any MTRR registers to fall back on.

To solve this, provide a way to specify the pgprot value explicitly to
arch_add_memory().

Of the arches that support MEMORY_HOTPLUG: x86_64, and arm64 need a
simple change to pass the pgprot_t down to their respective functions
which set up the page tables.  For x86_32, set the page tables
explicitly using _set_memory_prot() (seeing they are already mapped).

For ia64, s390 and sh, reject anything but PAGE_KERNEL settings -- this
should be fine, for now, seeing these architectures don't support
ZONE_DEVICE.

A check in __add_pages() is also added to ensure the pgprot parameter
was set for all arches.

      mm/vma: introduce VM_ACCESS_FLAGS · 6cb4d9a2
      Anshuman Khandual authored 
      
There are many places where all basic VMA access flags (read, write,
exec) are initialized or checked against as a group.  One such example
is during page fault.  Existing vma_is_accessible() wrapper already
creates the notion of VMA accessibility as a group access permissions.

Hence lets just create VM_ACCESS_FLAGS (VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC) which
will not only reduce code duplication but also extend the VMA
accessibility concept in general.

This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the

macros with standard VMA access flag combinations that are used
frequently across many platforms.  Apart from simplification, this

      mm: define pte_index as macro for x86 · c97078bd
      Arjun Roy authored 
      
pte_index() is either defined as a macro (e.g.  sparc64) or as an
inlined function (e.g.  x86).  vm_insert_pages() depends on pte_index
but it is not defined on all platforms (e.g.  m68k).

To fix compilation of vm_insert_pages() on architectures not providing
pte_index(), we perform the following fix:

0. For platforms where it is meaningful, and defined as a macro, no
    change is needed.
1. For platforms where it is meaningful and defined as an inlined
    function, and we want to use it with vm_insert_pages(), we define
    a degenerate macro of the form:  #define pte_index pte_index
2. vm_insert_pages() checks for the existence of a pte_index macro
   definition. If found, it implements a batched insert. If not found,
   it devolves to calling vm_insert_page() in a loop.

This patch implements step 1 for x86.

v3 of this patch fixes a compilation warning for an unused method.
v2 of this patch moved a macro definition to a more readable location.

      mm: hugetlb: optionally allocate gigantic hugepages using cma · cf11e85f
      Roman Gushchin authored 
      
Commit 944d9fec ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation
at runtime") has added the run-time allocation of gigantic pages.

However it actually works only at early stages of the system loading,
when the majority of memory is free.  After some time the memory gets
fragmented by non-movable pages, so the chances to find a contiguous 1GB
block are getting close to zero.  Even dropping caches manually doesn't
help a lot.

At large scale rebooting servers in order to allocate gigantic hugepages
is quite expensive and complex.  At the same time keeping some constant
percentage of memory in reserved hugepages even if the workload isn't
using it is a big waste: not all workloads can benefit from using 1 GB
pages.

The following solution can solve the problem:
1) On boot time a dedicated cma area* is reserved. The size is passed
   as a kernel argument.
2) Run-time allocations of gigantic hugepages are performed using the
   cma allocator and the dedicated cma area

In this case gigantic hugepages can be allocated successfully with a
high probability, however the memory isn't completely wasted if nobody
is using 1GB hugepages: it can be used for pagecache, anon memory, THPs,
etc.

* On a multi-node machine a per-node cma area is allocated on each node.
  Following gigantic hugetlb allocation are using the first available
  numa node if the mask isn't specified by a user.

Usage:
1) configure the kernel to allocate a cma area for hugetlb allocations:
   pass hugetlb_cma=10G as a kernel argument

2) allocate hugetlb pages as usual, e.g.
   echo 10 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages

If the option isn't enabled or the allocation of the cma area failed,
the current behavior of the system is preserved.

x86 and arm-64 are covered by this patch, other architectures can be
trivially added later.

The patch contains clean-ups and fixes proposed and implemented by Aslan
Bakirov and Randy Dunlap.  It also contains ideas and suggestions
proposed by Rik van Riel, Michal Hocko and Mike Kravetz.  Thanks!
