Implement code to walk all pages and warn if any are found to be both
writable and executable. Depends on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, and is
behind the DEBUG_WX config option.
This only runs on boot and has no runtime performance implications.
Very heavily influenced (and in some cases copied verbatim) from the
ARM64 code written by Laura Abbott (thanks!), since our ptdump

Today, STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is based on the use of regular pages
to map kernel pages.
On Book3s 32, it has three consequences:
- Using pages instead of BAT for mapping kernel linear memory severely
impacts performance.
- Exec protection is not effective because no-execute cannot be set at
page level (except on 603 which doesn't have hash tables)
- Write protection is not effective because PP bits do not provide RO
mode for kernel-only pages (except on 603 which handles it in software
via PAGE_DIRTY)
On the 603+, we have:
- Independent IBAT and DBAT allowing limitation of exec parts.
- NX bit can be set in segment registers to forbit execution on memory
mapped by pages.
- RO mode on DBATs even for kernel-only blocks.
On the 601, there is nothing much we can do other than warn the user
about it, because:
- BATs are common to instructions and data.
- BAT do not provide RO mode for kernel-only blocks.
- segment registers don't have the NX bit.
In order to use IBAT for exec protection, this patch:
- Aligns _etext to BAT block sizes (128kb)
- Set NX bit in kernel segment register (Except on vmalloc area when
CONFIG_MODULES is selected)
- Maps kernel text with IBATs.
In order to use DBAT for exec protection, this patch:
- Aligns RW DATA to BAT block sizes (4M)
- Maps kernel RO area with write prohibited DBATs
- Maps remaining memory with remaining DBATs
Here is what we get with this patch on a 832x when activating

Aligning _etext to 128kb allows to map up to 32Mb text with 8 IBATs:
16Mb + 8Mb + 4Mb + 2Mb + 1Mb + 512kb + 256kb + 128kb (+ 128kb) = 32Mb
(A 9th IBAT is unneeded as 32Mb would need only a single 32Mb block)
Aligning data to 4M allows to map up to 512Mb data with 8 DBATs:
16Mb + 8Mb + 4Mb + 4Mb + 32Mb + 64Mb + 128Mb + 256Mb = 512Mb
Because some processors only have 4 BATs and because some targets need
DBATs for mapping other areas, the following patch will allow to
modify _etext and data alignment.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".
This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.
Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.
The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

On systems where there is MMIO space between different blocks of RAM in
the physical address space, __ioremap_caller did not allow mapping these
MMIO areas, because they were below the end RAM and thus considered RAM
as well. Use the memblock-based page_is_ram function, which returns
false for such MMIO holes.
v2:
Keep the check for p < virt_to_phys(high_memory). On 32-bit systems
with high memory (memory above physical address 4GiB), the high memory
is expected to be available though ioremap. The high_memory variable
marks the end of low memory; comparing against it means that only
ioremap requests for low RAM will be denied.

Today powerpc64 uses a set of pgtable_caches while powerpc32 uses
standard pages when using 4k pages and a single pgtable_cache
if using other size pages.
In preparation of implementing huge pages on the 8xx, this patch
replaces the specific powerpc32 handling by the 64 bits approach.
This is done by:
* moving 64 bits pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init()
in a new file called init-common.c
* modifying pgtable_cache_init() to also handle the case
without PMD
* removing the 32 bits version of pgtable_cache_add() and
pgtable_cache_init()
* copying related header contents from 64 bits into both the
book3s/32 and nohash/32 header files
On the 8xx, the following cache sizes will be used:
* 4k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(10) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 512k hugepage tables
* 16k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(6) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(7) for 512k hugepage tables
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 8M hugepage tables

hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

We have a powerpc specific global called mem_init_done which is "set on
boot once kmalloc can be called".
But that's not *quite* true. We set it at the bottom of mem_init(), and
rely on the fact that mm_init() calls kmem_cache_init() immediately
after that, and nothing is running in parallel.
So replace it with the generic and 100% correct slab_is_available().

Use %pS for actual addresses, otherwise you'll get bad output

When pages are not 4K, PGDIR table is allocated with kmalloc(). In order to

Now, we have prepared to avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime. So
introduce new kernel-parameter to disable debug-pagealloc in boottime, and
makes related functions to be disabled in this case.
Only non-intuitive part is change of guard page functions. Because guard
page is effective only if debug-pagealloc is enabled, turning off
according to debug-pagealloc is reasonable thing to do.

There is no barrier between something like ioremap() writing to
a PTE, and returning the value to a caller that may then store the
pointer in a place that is visible to other CPUs. Such callers
generally don't perform barriers of their own.
Even if callers of ioremap() and similar things did use barriers,
the most logical choise would be smp_wmb(), which is not
architecturally sufficient when BookE hardware tablewalk is used. A
full sync is specified by the architecture.
For userspace mappings, OTOH, we generally already have an lwsync due
to locking, and if we occasionally take a spurious fault due to not
having a full sync with hardware tablewalk, it will not be fatal
because we will retry rather than oops.
