Using of PAT to change pages from WB to WC works quite nicely.
Changing it back to WB - not so much. The crux of the matter is
that the code that does this (__page_change_att_set_clr) has only
limited information so when it tries to the change it gets
the "raw" unfiltered information instead of the properly filtered one -
and the "raw" one tell it that PSE bit is on (while infact it
is not). As a result when the PTE is set to be WB from WC, we get
tons of:

along with a detailed description of the problem and solution.
But since that posting has gone nowhere I am proposing
this band-aid solution so that at least users don't get
the page corruption (the pages that are WC don't get changed to WB
and end up being recycled for filesystem or other things causing
mysterious crashes).
The negative impact of this patch is that users of WC flag
(which are InfiniBand, radeon, nouveau drivers) won't be able
to set that flag - so they are going to see performance degradation.
But stability is more important here.

mov eax, [machine_to_phys_order]

shr ebx, cl
test ebx, ebx
jnz ...
whereas a direct check requires just a compare, like in
cmp ebx, [machine_to_phys_nr]

), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element
address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).
Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should
have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger
if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit
boundary.

The MAXSMP config option requires CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, which in turn
requires we init the memory for the maps while we bring up the cpus.
MAXSMP also increases NR_CPUS to 4096. This increase in size exposed an
issue in the argument construction for multicalls from
xen_flush_tlb_others. The args should only need space for the actual
number of cpus.
Also in 2.6.39 it exposes a bootup problem.

We only need to set max_pfn_mapped to the last pfn mapped on x86_64 to

We don't need to do this on x86_32 because cleanup_highmap is not called
on x86_32. Besides lowering max_pfn_mapped on x86_32 has the unwanted
side effect of limiting the amount of memory available for the 1:1

Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
In principle update_va_mapping is a good match for set_pte_at, since
it gets the address being mapped, which allows Xen to use its linear
pagetable mapping.
However that assumes that the pmd for the address is attached to the
current pagetable, which may not be true for a given user address space
because the kernel pmd is not shared (at least on 32-bit guests).
Normally the kernel will automatically sync a missing part of the
pagetable with the init_mm pagetable transparently via faults, but that
fails when a missing address is passed to Xen.
And while the linear pagetable mapping is very useful for 32-bit Xen
(as it avoids an explicit domain mapping), 32-bit Xen is deprecated.
64-bit Xen has all memory mapped all the time, so it makes no real
difference.
The upshot is that we should use mmu_update, since it can operate on
non-current pagetables or detached pagetables.

Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end
of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones.
On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
other purposes.
A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows.
As a consequence of the commit:
commit 4b239f458c
Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
Date: Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800
x86-64, mm: Put early page table high
at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages
area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls
in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument).
Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and
everything is fine.
Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and
are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).
In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
ranges are RO).
For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we
used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other
purposes.
On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it
also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but
that haven't been used before.
Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if
(xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen
counterpart, but that is just nasty.

For this reason, this function is introduced which is called _after_
the init_memory_mapping has completed (in a perfect world we would
call this function from init_memory_mapping, but lets ignore that).
Because we are called _after_ init_memory_mapping the pgt_buf_[start,
end,top] have all changed to new values (b/c another init_memory_mapping
is called). Hence, the first time we enter this function, we save
away the pgt_buf_start value and update the pgt_buf_[end,top].
When we detect that the "old" pgt_buf_start through pgt_buf_end
PFNs have been reserved (so memblock_x86_reserve_range has been called),
we immediately set out to RW the "old" pgt_buf_end through pgt_buf_top.
And then we update those "old" pgt_buf_[end|top] with the new ones
so that we can redo this on the next pagetable.

The two "is_early_ioremap_ptep" checks in mask_rw_pte are only used on
x86_64, in fact early_ioremap is not used at all to setup the initial
pagetable on x86_32.
Moreover on x86_32 the two checks are wrong because the range
pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end initially should be mapped RW because
the pages in the range are not pagetable pages yet and haven't been
cleared yet. Afterwards considering the pgt_buf_start..pgt_buf_end is
part of the initial mapping, xen_alloc_pte is capable of turning
the ptes RO when they become pagetable pages.
Fix the issue and improve the readability of the code providing two
different implementation of mask_rw_pte for x86_32 and x86_64.

There are valid situations in which this error is not
a warning. Mainly when QEMU maps a guest memory and uses
the VM_IO flag to set the MFNs. For right now make the
WARN be WARN_ONCE. In the future we will:
1). Remove the VM_IO code handling..
2). .. which will also remove this debug facility.

After "x86-64, mm: Put early page table high" already existing kernel
page table pages can be mapped using early_ioremap too so we need to
update mask_rw_pte to make sure these pages are still mapped RO.
The reason why we have to do that is explain by the commit message of
fef5ba797991f9335bcfc295942b684f9bf613a1:
"Xen requires that all pages containing pagetable entries to be mapped
read-only. If pages used for the initial pagetable are already mapped
then we can change the mapping to RO. However, if they are initially
unmapped, we need to make sure that when they are later mapped, they
are also mapped RO.
..SNIP..
the pagetable setup code early_ioremaps the pages to write their
entries, so we must make sure that mappings created in the early_ioremap
fixmap area are mapped RW. (Those mappings are removed before the pages
are presented to Xen as pagetable pages.)"
We accomplish all this in mask_rw_pte by mapping RO all the pages mapped
using early_ioremap apart from the last one that has been allocated
because it is not a page table page yet (it has not been hooked into the
page tables yet).

Do not set max_pfn_mapped to the end of the initial memory mappings,
that also contain pages that don't belong in pfn space (like the mfn
list).
Set max_pfn_mapped to the last real pfn mapped in the initial memory
mappings that is the pfn backing _end.
