Arjan van de Ven 7219bebd72 x86: add comments to describe the new api's in cacheflush.h
The new cacheflush.h API's didn't have any comments describing
how they're to be used yet and the conventions around these functions.
This patch adds comments to this effect; in order for that to be
a logical series, some prototypes had to move around.

Andi Kleen c9caa02c52 x86: add set_memory_4k to pageattr.c
Add a new function to force split large pages into 4k pages.
This is needed for some followup optimizations.

I had to add a new field to cpa_data to pass down the information
that try_preserve_large_page should not run.

Right now no set_page_4k() because I didn't need it and all the
specialized users I have in mind would be more comfortable with
pure addresses. I also didn't export it because it's unlikely
external code needs it.

venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com ef354af462 x86: PAT add set_memory_wc() interface
Add a set_memory_wc interface(), similar to set_memory_uc interface.
Callers has to call set_memory_uc, set_memory_wb and
set_memory_wc, set_memory_wb as pairs.

Use reserve_memtype and free_memtype interfaces in set_memory_uc/set_memory_wb
interfaces to avoid aliasing.
Usage model of set_memory_uc and set_memory_wb is for RAM memory and users
will first call set_memory_uc and call set_memory_wb after use to reset the
attribute.

Harvey Harrison 7bfeab9af9 x86: include proper prototypes for rodata_test
extern should not appear in C files.  Also, the definitions
do not match the prototype currently, not sure what way you
want to go with this, I've switched the prototype to return
int, but I can see going to the void return as well.

Thomas Gleixner 76ebd0548d x86: introduce page pool in cpa
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC was not possible on 64-bit due to its early-bootup
hardcoded reliance on PSE pages, and the unrobustness of the runtime
splitup of large pages. The splitup ended in recursive calls to
alloc_pages() when a page for a pte split was requested.

Avoid the recursion with a preallocated page pool, which is used to
split up large mappings and gets refilled in the return path of
kernel_map_pages after the split has been done. The size of the page
pool is adjusted to the available memory.

This part just implements the page pool and the initialization w/o
using it yet.

Arjan van de Ven edeed30589 x86: add testcases for RODATA and NX protections/attributes
Latest update; I now have 4 NX tests, but 2 fail so they're #if 0'd.
I also cleaned up the NX test code quite a bit, and got rid of the ugly
exception table sorting stuff.

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

This patch adds testcases for the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA configuration option
as well as the NX CPU feature/mappings. Both testcases can move to tests/
once that patch gets merged into mainline.
(I'm half considering moving the rodata test into mm/init.c but I'll
wait with that until init.c is unified)

As part of this I had to fix a not-quite-right alignment in the vmlinux.lds.h
for the RODATA sections, which lead to 1 page less being marked read only.

Thomas Gleixner d7c8f21a8c x86: cpa: move flush to cpa
The set_memory_* and set_pages_* family of API's currently requires the
callers to do a global tlb flush after the function call; forgetting this is
a very nasty deathtrap. This patch moves the global tlb flush into
each of the callers

Arjan van de Ven d1028a154c x86: make various pageattr.c functions static
change_page_attr_add is only used in pageattr.c now, so we can
make this function static.
change_page_attr() isn't used anywere at all anymore; this function
is a really bad API anyway so just remove the bloat entirely.

Arjan van de Ven e1271f686a x86: deprecate change_page_attr() for drivers
With the introduction of the new API, no driver or non-archcore code needs
to use c-p-a anymore, so this patch also deprecates the EXPORT_SYMBOL of CPA
(it's a horrible API after all).

Arjan van de Ven 75cbade8ea x86: a new API for drivers/etc to control cache and other page attributes
Right now, if drivers or other code want to change, say, a cache attribute of a
page, the only API they have is change_page_attr(). c-p-a is a really bad API
for this, because it forces the caller to know *ALL* the attributes he wants
for the page, not just the 1 thing he wants to change. So code that wants to
set a page uncachable, needs to be aware of the NX status as well etc etc etc.

This patch introduces a set of new APIs for this, set_pages_<attr> and
set_memory_<attr>, that offer a logical change to the user, and leave all
attributes not implied by the requested logical change alone.

Ingo Molnar 12d6f21eac x86: do not PSE on CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
get more testing of the c_p_a() code done by not turning off
PSE on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

this simplifies the early pagetable setup code, and tests
the largepage-splitup code quite heavily.

In the end, all the largepages will be split up pretty quickly,
so there's no difference to how DEBUG_PAGEALLOC worked before.
