The comment pretty much says it all.
I wrote a test program that does lots of random allocations
and forces bounds tables to be created. It came up with a
layout like this:
.... | BOUNDS DIRECTORY ENTRY COVERS | ....
| BOUNDS TABLE COVERS |
| BOUNDS TABLE | REAL ALLOC | BOUNDS TABLE |
Unmapping "REAL ALLOC" should have been able to free the
bounds table "covering" the "REAL ALLOC" because it was the
last real user. But, the neighboring VMA bounds tables were
found, considered as real neighbors, and we declined to free
the bounds table covering the area.
Doing this over and over left a small but significant number
of these orphans. Handling them is fairly straighforward.
All we have to do is walk the VMAs and skip all of the MPX
ones when looking for neighbors.

The MPX code needs to clear out bounds tables for memory which
is no longer in use. We do this when a userspace mapping is
torn down (unmapped).
There are two modes:
1. An entire bounds table becomes unused, and can be freed
and its pointer removed from the bounds directory. This
happens either when a large mapping is torn down, or when
a small mapping is torn down and it is the last mapping
"covered" by a bounds table.
2. Only part of a bounds table becomes unused, in which case
we free the backing memory as if MADV_DONTNEED was called.
The old code was a spaghetti mess of "edge" bounds tables
where the edges were handled specially, even if we were
unmapping an entire one. Non-edge bounds tables are always
fully unmapped, but share a different code path from the edge
ones. The old code had a bug where it was unmapping too much
memory. I worked on fixing it for two days and gave up.
I didn't write the original code. I didn't particularly like
it, but it worked, so I left it. After my debug session, I
realized it was undebuggagle *and* buggy, so out it went.
I also wrote a new unmapping test program which uncovers bugs
pretty nicely.

Right now, the kernel can only switch between 64-bit and 32-bit
binaries at compile time. This patch adds support for 32-bit
binaries on 64-bit kernels when we support ia32 emulation.
We essentially choose which set of table sizes to use when doing
arithmetic for the bounds table calculations.
This also uses a different approach for calculating the table
indexes than before. I think the new one makes it much more
clear what is going on, and allows us to share more code between
the 32-bit and 64-bit cases.

user_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() actually looks at sizeof(*ptr) to
figure out how many bytes to copy. If we run it on a 64-bit
kernel with a 64-bit pointer, it will copy a 64-bit bounds
directory entry. That's fine, except when we have 32-bit
programs with 32-bit bounds directory entries and we only *want*
32-bits.
This patch breaks the cmpxchg() operation out in to its own
function and performs the 32-bit type swizzling in there.
Note, the "64-bit" version of this code _would_ work on a
32-bit-only kernel. The issue this patch addresses is only for
when the kernel's 'long' is mismatched from the size of the
bounds directory entry of the process we are working on.
The new helper modifies 'actual_old_val' or returns an error.
But gcc doesn't know this, so it warns about 'actual_old_val'
being unused. Shut it up with an uninitialized_var().

There are two different events being traced here. They are
doing similar things so share a trace "EVENT_CLASS" and are
presented together.
1. Trace when MPX is zapping pages "mpx_unmap_zap":
When MPX can not free an entire bounds table, it will
instead try to zap unused parts of a bounds table to free
the backing memory. This decreases RSS (resident set
size) without decreasing the virtual space allocated
for bounds tables.
2. Trace attempts to find bounds tables "mpx_unmap_search":
This event traces any time we go looking to unmap a
bounds table for a given virtual address range. This is
useful to ensure that the kernel actually "tried" to free
a bounds table versus times it succeeded in finding one.
It might try and fail if it realized that a table was
shared with an adjacent VMA which is not being unmapped.

There are two basic things that can happen as the result of
a bounds exception (#BR):
1. We allocate a new bounds table
2. We pass up a bounds exception to userspace.
This patch adds a trace point for the case where we are
passing the exception up to userspace with a signal.
We are also explicit that we're printing out the inverse of
the 'upper' that we encounter. If you want to filter, for
instance, you need to ~ the value first. The reason we do
this is because of how 'upper' is stored in the bounds table.
If a pointer's range is:
0x1000 -> 0x2000
it is stored in the bounds table as (32-bits here for brevity):
lower: 0x00001000
upper: 0xffffdfff
That is so that an all 0's entry:
lower: 0x00000000
upper: 0x00000000
corresponds to the "init" bounds which store a *range* of:
0x00000000 -> 0xffffffff
That is, by far, the common case, and that lets us use the
zero page, or deduplicate the memory, etc... The 'upper'
stored in the table is gibberish to print by itself, so we
print ~upper to get the *actual*, logical, human-readable
value printed out.

The MPX registers (bndcsr/bndcfgu/bndstatus) are not directly
accessible via normal instructions. They essentially act as
if they were floating point registers and are saved/restored
along with those registers.
There are two main paths in the MPX code where we care about
the contents of these registers:
1. #BR (bounds) faults
2. the prctl() code where we are setting MPX up
Both of those paths _might_ be called without the FPU having
been used. That means that 'tsk->thread.fpu.state' might
never be allocated.
Also, fpu_save_init() is not preempt-safe. It was a bug to
call it without disabling preemption. The new
get_xsave_addr() calls unlazy_fpu() instead and properly
disables preemption.

We use pat_enabled in x86-specific code to see if PAT is enabled
or not but we're granting full access to it even though readers
do not need to set it. If, for instance, we granted access to it
to modules later they then could override the variable
setting... no bueno.
This renames pat_enabled to a new static variable __pat_enabled.
Folks are redirected to use pat_enabled() now.
Code that sets this can only be internal to pat.c. Apart from
the early kernel parameter "nopat" to disable PAT, we also have
a few cases that disable it later and make use of a helper
pat_disable(). It is wrapped under an ifdef but since that code
cannot run unless PAT was enabled its not required to wrap it
with ifdefs, unwrap that. Likewise, since "nopat" doesn't really
change non-PAT systems just remove that ifdef as well.
Although we could add and use an early_param_off(), these
helpers don't use __read_mostly but we want to keep
__read_mostly for __pat_enabled as this is a hot path -- upon
boot, for instance, a simple guest may see ~4k accesses to
pat_enabled(). Since __read_mostly early boot params are not
that common we don't add a helper for them just yet.

So 6 years ago we made the FPU fpstate dynamically allocated:
aa283f4927 ("x86, fpu: lazy allocation of FPU area - v5")
61c4628b53 ("x86, fpu: split FPU state from task struct - v5")
In hindsight this was a mistake:
- it complicated context allocation failure handling, such as:
/* kthread execs. TODO: cleanup this horror. */
if (WARN_ON(fpstate_alloc_init(fpu)))
force_sig(SIGKILL, tsk);
- it caused us to enable irqs in fpu__restore():
local_irq_enable();
/*
* does a slab alloc which can sleep
*/
if (fpstate_alloc_init(fpu)) {
/*
* ran out of memory!
*/
do_group_exit(SIGKILL);
return;
}
local_irq_disable();
- it (slightly) slowed down task creation/destruction by adding
slab allocation/free pattens.
- it made access to context contents (slightly) slower by adding
one more pointer dereference.
The motivation for the dynamic allocation was two-fold:
- reduce memory consumption by non-FPU tasks
- allocate and handle only the necessary amount of context for
various XSAVE processors that have varying hardware frame
sizes.
These days, with glibc using SSE memcpy by default and GCC optimizing
for SSE/AVX by default, the scope of FPU using apps on an x86 system is
much larger than it was 6 years ago.
For example on a freshly installed Fedora 21 desktop system, with a
recent kernel, all non-kthread tasks have used the FPU shortly after
bootup.
Also, even modern embedded x86 CPUs try to support the latest vector
instruction set - so they'll too often use the larger xstate frame
sizes.
So remove the dynamic allocation complication by embedding the FPU
fpstate in task_struct again. This should make the FPU a lot more
accessible to all sorts of atomic contexts.
We could still optimize for the xstate frame size in the future,
by moving the state structure to the last element of task_struct,
and allocating only a part of that.
This change is kept minimal by still keeping the ctx_alloc()/free()
routines (that now do nothing substantial) - we'll remove them in
the following patches.

So fpu_save_init() is a historic name that got its name when the only
way the FPU state was FNSAVE, which cleared (well, destroyed) the FPU
state after saving it.
Nowadays the name is misleading, because ever since the introduction of
FXSAVE (and more modern FPU saving instructions) the 'we need to reload
the FPU state' part is only true if there's a pending FPU exception [*],
which is almost never the case.
So rename it to copy_fpregs_to_fpstate() to make it clear what's
happening. Also add a few comments about why we cannot keep registers
in certain cases.
Also clean up the control flow a bit, to make it more apparent when
we are dropping/keeping FP registers, and to optimize the common
case (of keeping fpregs) some more.
[*] Probably not true anymore, modern instructions always leave the FPU
state intact, even if exceptions are pending: because pending FP
exceptions are posted on the next FP instruction, not asynchronously.
They were truly asynchronous back in the IRQ13 case, and we had to
synchronize with them, but that code is not working anymore: we don't
have IRQ13 mapped in the IDT anymore.
But a cleanup patch is obviously not the place to change subtle behavior.

ioremap_nocache() currently uses UC- by default. Our goal is to
eventually make UC the default. Linux maps UC- to PCD=1, PWT=0
page attributes on non-PAT systems. Linux maps UC to PCD=1,
PWT=1 page attributes on non-PAT systems. On non-PAT and PAT
systems a WC MTRR has different effects on pages with either of
these attributes. In order to help with a smooth transition its
best to enable use of UC (PCD,1, PWT=1) on a region as that
ensures a WC MTRR will have no effect on a region, this however
requires us to have an way to declare a region as UC and we
currently do not have a way to do this.
WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC.
WC MTRR on non-PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC) yields UC.
WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=0 (UC-) yields WC.
WC MTRR on PAT system with PCD=1, PWT=1 (UC) yields UC.
A flip of the default ioremap_nocache() behaviour from UC- to UC
can therefore regress a memory region from effective memory type
WC to UC if MTRRs are used. Use of MTRRs should be phased out
and in the best case only arch_phys_wc_add() use will remain,
even if this happens arch_phys_wc_add() will have an effect on
non-PAT systems and changes to default ioremap_nocache()
behaviour could regress drivers.
Now, ideally we'd use ioremap_nocache() on the regions in which
we'd need uncachable memory types and avoid any MTRRs on those
regions. There are however some restrictions on MTRRs use, such
as the requirement of having the base and size of variable sized
MTRRs to be powers of two, which could mean having to use a WC
MTRR over a large area which includes a region in which
write-combining effects are undesirable.
Add ioremap_uc() to help with the both phasing out of MTRR use
and also provide a way to blacklist small WC undesirable regions
in devices with mixed regions which are size-implicated to use
large WC MTRRs. Use of ioremap_uc() helps phase out MTRR use by
avoiding regressions with an eventual flip of default behaviour
or ioremap_nocache() from UC- to UC.
Drivers working with WC MTRRs can use the below table to review
and consider the use of ioremap*() and similar helpers to ensure
appropriate behaviour long term even if default
ioremap_nocache() behaviour changes from UC- to UC.
Although ioremap_uc() is being added we leave set_memory_uc() to
use UC- as only initial memory type setup is required to be able
to accommodate existing device drivers and phase out MTRR use.
It should also be clarified that set_memory_uc() cannot be used
with IO memory, even though its use will not return any errors,
it really has no effect.

Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of

it reserves them via memblock API. Since memblock API is widely used by
other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world.
This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and
enables memtest feature for arm/arm64.
It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue
with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform.

Implement huge KVA mapping interfaces on x86.
On x86, MTRRs can override PAT memory types with a 4KB granularity. When
using a huge page, MTRRs can override the memory type of the huge page,
which may lead a performance penalty. The processor can also behave in an
undefined manner if a huge page is mapped to a memory range that MTRRs
have mapped with multiple different memory types. Therefore, the mapping
code falls back to use a smaller page size toward 4KB when a mapping range
is covered by non-WB type of MTRRs. The WB type of MTRRs has no affect on
the PAT memory types.
pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() call mtrr_type_lookup() to see if a
given range is covered by MTRRs. MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK indicates that the
range is either covered by WB or not covered and the MTRR default value is
set to WB. 0xFF indicates that MTRRs are disabled.
HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is selected when X86_64 or X86_32 with X86_PAE is set.
X86_32 without X86_PAE is not supported since such config can unlikey be
benefited from this feature, and there was an issue found in testing.
