Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 16:58:58 -0600 From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@...com> To: bp@...en8.de, hpa@...or.com, tglx@...utronix.de, mingo@...hat.com, akpm@...ux-foundation.org, arnd@...db.de Cc: linux-mm@...ck.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, x86@...nel.org, linux-nvdimm@...ts.01.org, jgross@...e.com, stefan.bader@...onical.com, luto@...capital.net, hmh@....eng.br, yigal@...xistor.com, konrad.wilk@...cle.com, Elliott@...com, mcgrof@...e.com, hch@....de Subject: [PATCH v11 0/12] Support Write-Through mapping on x86 This patchset adds support of Write-Through (WT) mapping on x86. The study below shows that using WT mapping may be useful for non-volatile memory. http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2012/HPL-2012-236.pdf The patchset consists of the following changes. - Patch 1/12 to 2/12 refactor !pat_enable paths - Patch 3/12 to 8/12 add ioremap_wt() - Patch 9/12 adds pgprot_writethrough() - Patch 10/12 to 11/12 add set_memory_wt() - Patch 12/12 changes the pmem driver to call ioremap_wt() All new/modified interfaces have been tested. --- v11: - Reordered the refactor changes from patch 10-11 to 1-2. (Borislav Petkov) - Changed BUG() to panic(). (Borislav Petkov) - Rebased to tip/master and resolved conflicts. v10: - Removed ioremap_writethrough(). (Thomas Gleixner) - Clarified and cleaned up multiple comments and functions. (Thomas Gleixner) - Changed ioremap_change_attr() to accept the WT type. v9: - Changed to export the set_xxx_wt() interfaces with GPL. (Ingo Molnar) - Changed is_new_memtype_allowed() to handle WT cases. - Changed arch-specific io.h to define ioremap_wt(). - Changed the pmem driver to use ioremap_wt(). - Rebased to 4.1-rc3 and resolved minor conflicts. v8: - Rebased to 4.0-rc1 and resolved conflicts with 9d34cfdf4 in patch 5/7. v7: - Rebased to 3.19-rc3 as Juergen's patchset for the PAT management has been accepted. v6: - Dropped the patch moving [set|get]_page_memtype() to pat.c since the tip branch already has this change. - Fixed an issue when CONFIG_X86_PAT is not defined. v5: - Clarified comment of why using slot 7. (Andy Lutomirski, Thomas Gleixner) - Moved [set|get]_page_memtype() to pat.c. (Thomas Gleixner) - Removed BUG() from set_page_memtype(). (Thomas Gleixner) v4: - Added set_memory_wt() by adding WT support of regular memory. v3: - Dropped the set_memory_wt() patch. (Andy Lutomirski) - Refactored the !pat_enabled handling. (H. Peter Anvin, Andy Lutomirski) - Added the picture of PTE encoding. (Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk) v2: - Changed WT to use slot 7 of the PAT MSR. (H. Peter Anvin, Andy Lutomirski) - Changed to have conservative checks to exclude all Pentium 2, 3, M, and 4 families. (Ingo Molnar, Henrique de Moraes Holschuh, Andy Lutomirski) - Updated documentation to cover WT interfaces and usages.
