This patch expands functionality of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to set main
(static) kernel data area as NX.
The following steps are taken to achieve this:
1. Linker script is adjusted so .text always starts and ends on a page bound
2. Linker script is adjusted so .rodata always start and end on a page boundary
3. NX is set for all pages from _etext through _end in mark_rodata_ro.
4. free_init_pages() sets released memory NX in arch/x86/mm/init.c
5. bios rom is set to x when pcibios is used.
The results of patch application may be observed in the diff of kernel page
table dumps:

This patch adds an initial page table with low mappings used exclusively
for booting APs/resuming after ACPI suspend/machine restart. After this,
there's no need to add low mappings to swapper_pg_dir and zap them later
or create own swsusp PGD page solely for ACPI sleep needs - we have
initial_page_table for that.

Originally the only early reserved range that is overlapped with high
pages is "KVA RAM", but we already do remove that from the active ranges.
However, It turns out Xen could have that kind of overlapping to support memory
ballooning.x
So we need to make add_highpage_with_active_regions() to subtract
memblock reserved just like low ram; this is the proper design anyway.
In this patch, refactering get_freel_all_memory_range() to make it can
be used by add_highpage_with_active_regions(). Also we don't need to
remove "KVA RAM" from active ranges.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Steven Rostedt reported that we are unconditionally making the
kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to
the kernel text area for setting/clearing any page table
attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for
the kernel text mapping that is set at compile time.
We should delay (to forbid the write attribute) and enforce only
after the kernel has mapped the text as read-only.

To eventually interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes, we
need to know the physical topology of the machine without actually
registering it. This does the k8 node setup in two parts:
detection and registration. NUMA emulation can then used the
physical topology detected to setup the address ranges of emulated
nodes accordingly. If emulation isn't used, the k8 nodes are
registered as normal.
Two formals are added to the x86 NUMA setup functions: `acpi' and
`k8'. These represent whether ACPI or K8 NUMA has been detected;
both cannot be true at the same time. This specifies to the NUMA
emulation code whether an underlying physical NUMA topology exists
and which interface to use.
This patch deals solely with separating the k8 setup path into
Northbridge detection and registration steps and leaves the ACPI
changes for a subsequent patch. The `acpi' formal is added here,
however, to avoid touching all the header files again in the next
patch.
This approach also ensures emulated nodes will not span physical
nodes so the true memory latency is not misrepresented.
k8_get_nodes() may now be used to export the k8 physical topology
of the machine for NUMA emulation.

For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add().
In usual,
- range of physical memory
- range of vmalloc area
- text, etc...
are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It
doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary
memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required
physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory
hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating
information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on
/proc/iomem.

Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual
addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense
when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill
further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all
cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full
available range.
Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on
code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I
know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

The hooks that we modify are:
- Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
- Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
the instruction that caused the page fault)
Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is
enabled.
(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
handler.)
As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable
the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation
in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

Impact: keep kernel text read only
Because dynamic ftrace converts the calls to mcount into and out of
nops at run time, we needed to always keep the kernel text writable.
But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts
the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts
it back to read only afterward.
The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to
modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only.
The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK
or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that
using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what
its state will actually be.
Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions
themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is
OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.

Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>
The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the
subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over
the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to
calculate pte addresses).
This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot
process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number
of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't
show up the problem).
Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its
entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered
and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile
scheme ever breaks again...
Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap
trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes
potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early
ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by
early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration,
namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the
time the fixmap area page tables get constructed.
Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space
needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for
large CPU counts to actually boot.

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.
This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.
In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

Use one of the software-defined PTE bits to indicate that a mapping is
intended for an IO address. On native hardware this is irrelevent,
since a physical address is a physical address. But in a virtual
environment, physical addresses are also virtualized, so there needs
to be some way to distinguish between pseudo-physical addresses and
actual hardware addresses; _PAGE_IOMAP indicates this intent.
By default, __supported_pte_mask masks out _PAGE_IOMAP, so it doesn't
even appear in the final pagetable.

In the first pass, kernel physical mapping will be setup using large or
small pages but uses the same PTE attributes as that of the early
PTE attributes setup by early boot code in head_[32|64].S
After flushing TLB's, we go through the second pass, which setups the
direct mapped PTE's with the appropriate attributes (like NX, GLOBAL etc)
which are runtime detectable.
This two pass mechanism conforms to the TLB app note which says:
"Software should not write to a paging-structure entry in a way that would
change, for any linear address, both the page size and either the page frame
or attributes."
