[IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing

Browse Source 
This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:

  - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
    they don't appear in the EFI memory map.  This keeps X from working
    on the Intel Tiger box.

  - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
    /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
    access.  This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
    boxes in the default configuration.

There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.

Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
map doesn't mention the region.

MEMORY ATTRIBUTE ALIASING ON IA-64
Bjorn Helgaas
<bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
May 4, 2006
MEMORY ATTRIBUTES
Itanium supports several attributes for virtual memory references.
The attribute is part of the virtual translation, i.e., it is
contained in the TLB entry. The ones of most interest to the Linux
kernel are:
WB Write-back (cacheable)
UC Uncacheable
WC Write-coalescing
System memory typically uses the WB attribute. The UC attribute is
used for memory-mapped I/O devices. The WC attribute is uncacheable
like UC is, but writes may be delayed and combined to increase
performance for things like frame buffers.
The Itanium architecture requires that we avoid accessing the same
page with both a cacheable mapping and an uncacheable mapping[1].
The design of the chipset determines which attributes are supported
on which regions of the address space. For example, some chipsets
support either WB or UC access to main memory, while others support
only WB access.
MEMORY MAP
Platform firmware describes the physical memory map and the
supported attributes for each region. At boot-time, the kernel uses
the EFI GetMemoryMap() interface. ACPI can also describe memory
devices and the attributes they support, but Linux/ia64 currently
doesn't use this information.
The kernel uses the efi_memmap table returned from GetMemoryMap() to
learn the attributes supported by each region of physical address
space. Unfortunately, this table does not completely describe the
address space because some machines omit some or all of the MMIO
regions from the map.
The kernel maintains another table, kern_memmap, which describes the
memory Linux is actually using and the attribute for each region.
This contains only system memory; it does not contain MMIO space.
The kern_memmap table typically contains only a subset of the system
memory described by the efi_memmap. Linux/ia64 can't use all memory
in the system because of constraints imposed by the identity mapping
scheme.
The efi_memmap table is preserved unmodified because the original
boot-time information is required for kexec.
KERNEL IDENTITY MAPPINGS
Linux/ia64 identity mappings are done with large pages, currently
either 16MB or 64MB, referred to as "granules." Cacheable mappings
are speculative[2], so the processor can read any location in the
page at any time, independent of the programmer's intentions. This
means that to avoid attribute aliasing, Linux can create a cacheable
identity mapping only when the entire granule supports cacheable
access.
Therefore, kern_memmap contains only full granule-sized regions that
can referenced safely by an identity mapping.
Uncacheable mappings are not speculative, so the processor will
generate UC accesses only to locations explicitly referenced by
software. This allows UC identity mappings to cover granules that
are only partially populated, or populated with a combination of UC
and WB regions.
USER MAPPINGS
User mappings are typically done with 16K or 64K pages. The smaller
page size allows more flexibility because only 16K or 64K has to be
homogeneous with respect to memory attributes.
POTENTIAL ATTRIBUTE ALIASING CASES
There are several ways the kernel creates new mappings:
mmap of /dev/mem
This uses remap_pfn_range(), which creates user mappings. These
mappings may be either WB or UC. If the region being mapped
happens to be in kern_memmap, meaning that it may also be mapped
by a kernel identity mapping, the user mapping must use the same
attribute as the kernel mapping.
If the region is not in kern_memmap, the user mapping should use
an attribute reported as being supported in the EFI memory map.
Since the EFI memory map does not describe MMIO on some
machines, this should use an uncacheable mapping as a fallback.
mmap of /sys/class/pci_bus/.../legacy_mem
This is very similar to mmap of /dev/mem, except that legacy_mem
only allows mmap of the one megabyte "legacy MMIO" area for a
specific PCI bus. Typically this is the first megabyte of
physical address space, but it may be different on machines with
several VGA devices.
"X" uses this to access VGA frame buffers. Using legacy_mem
rather than /dev/mem allows multiple instances of X to talk to
different VGA cards.
The /dev/mem mmap constraints apply.
However, since this is for mapping legacy MMIO space, WB access
does not make sense. This matters on machines without legacy
VGA support: these machines may have WB memory for the entire
first megabyte (or even the entire first granule).
On these machines, we could mmap legacy_mem as WB, which would
be safe in terms of attribute aliasing, but X has no way of
knowing that it is accessing regular memory, not a frame buffer,
so the kernel should fail the mmap rather than doing it with WB.
read/write of /dev/mem
This uses copy_from_user(), which implicitly uses a kernel
identity mapping. This is obviously safe for things in
kern_memmap.
There may be corner cases of things that are not in kern_memmap,
but could be accessed this way. For example, registers in MMIO
space are not in kern_memmap, but could be accessed with a UC
mapping. This would not cause attribute aliasing. But
registers typically can be accessed only with four-byte or
eight-byte accesses, and the copy_from_user() path doesn't allow
any control over the access size, so this would be dangerous.
ioremap()
This returns a kernel identity mapping for use inside the
kernel.
If the region is in kern_memmap, we should use the attribute
specified there. Otherwise, if the EFI memory map reports that
the entire granule supports WB, we should use that (granules
that are partially reserved or occupied by firmware do not appear
in kern_memmap). Otherwise, we should use a UC mapping.
PAST PROBLEM CASES
mmap of various MMIO regions from /dev/mem by "X" on Intel platforms
The EFI memory map may not report these MMIO regions.
These must be allowed so that X will work. This means that
when the EFI memory map is incomplete, every /dev/mem mmap must
succeed. It may create either WB or UC user mappings, depending
on whether the region is in kern_memmap or the EFI memory map.
mmap of 0x0-0xA0000 /dev/mem by "hwinfo" on HP sx1000 with VGA enabled
See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=140858.
The EFI memory map reports the following attributes:
0x00000-0x9FFFF WB only
0xA0000-0xBFFFF UC only (VGA frame buffer)
0xC0000-0xFFFFF WB only
This mmap is done with user pages, not kernel identity mappings,
so it is safe to use WB mappings.
The kernel VGA driver may ioremap the VGA frame buffer at 0xA0000,
which will use a granule-sized UC mapping covering 0-0xFFFFF. This
granule covers some WB-only memory, but since UC is non-speculative,
the processor will never generate an uncacheable reference to the
WB-only areas unless the driver explicitly touches them.
mmap of 0x0-0xFFFFF legacy_mem by "X"
If the EFI memory map reports this entire range as WB, there
is no VGA MMIO hole, and the mmap should fail or be done with
a WB mapping.
There's no easy way for X to determine whether the 0xA0000-0xBFFFF
region is a frame buffer or just memory, so I think it's best to
just fail this mmap request rather than using a WB mapping. As
far as I know, there's no need to map legacy_mem with WB
mappings.
Otherwise, a UC mapping of the entire region is probably safe.
The VGA hole means the region will not be in kern_memmap. The
HP sx1000 chipset doesn't support UC access to the memory surrounding
the VGA hole, but X doesn't need that area anyway and should not
reference it.
mmap of 0xA0000-0xBFFFF legacy_mem by "X" on HP sx1000 with VGA disabled
The EFI memory map reports the following attributes:
0x00000-0xFFFFF WB only (no VGA MMIO hole)
This is a special case of the previous case, and the mmap should
fail for the same reason as above.
