Page faults in kernel address space between PAGE_OFFSET up to
VMALLOC_START should not try to map as vmalloc.
Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root
filesystem at boot time.
All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole.
I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit
has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part.
Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation):
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt
The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug.
More memory gets the bug more rarely.
Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail:
Start from "mount_block_root",
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297
There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes.
Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first
string is no problem.
But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not
at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the
first in list.
Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount.
Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains
a full page.
The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()":
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540
Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault
handler was not called. No problem.
In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page
fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320
The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000.
It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's
from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc".
The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332
"vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing
virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault()
got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at:
http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282
No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying
to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup.
This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also
was not existing. The endless began...
In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under
coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used
when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor.
Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this
into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and
even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc.
The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent
gcc from performing the transformation.
This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it
to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

check_sal_cache_flush is used to detect broken firmware that drops
pending interrupts.
The old implementation schedules a timer interrupt for itself in
the future by getting the current value of the Interval Timer
Counter + 1000 cycles, waits for the interrupt to be pended, calls
SAL_CACHE_FLUSH, and finally checks to see if the interrupt is
still pending.
This implementation can cause problems for virtual machine code if
the process of scheduling the timer interrupt takes more than 1000
cycles; the virtual machine can end up sleeping for several hundred
years while waiting for the ITC to wrap around.
The fix is to use platform_send_ipi. The processor will still send
an interrupt to itself, using the IA64_IPI_DM_INT delivery mode,
which causes the IPI to look like an external interrupt. The rest
of the SAL_CACHE_FLUSH + checking to see if the interrupt is still
pending remains unchanged.
This fix has been boot tested successfully on:
- intel tiger2
- hp rx6600
- hp rx5670
The rx5670 has known buggy firmware, where SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops
pending interrupts. A boot test on this machine showed this message
on the console:
SAL: SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops interrupts; PAL_CACHE_FLUSH will be used instead
Which proves that the self-inflicted IPI approach is viable. And
as expected, the other tested platforms correctly did not display
the warning.

Currently arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c always adds __GFP_NORETRY
to the allocation flags, because it wants to be reasonably
sure not to deadlock when calling alloc_pages().
But really that should only be done in two cases:
- when allocating memory in the lower 16 MB DMA zone.
If there's no free memory there, waiting or OOM killing is of no use
- when optimistically trying an allocation in the DMA32 zone
when dma_mask < DMA_32BIT_MASK hoping that the allocation
happens to fall within the limits of the dma_mask
Also blindly adding __GFP_NORETRY to the the gfp variable might
not be a good idea since we then also use it when calling
dma_ops->alloc_coherent(). Clearing it might also not be a
good idea, dma_alloc_coherent()'s caller might have set it
on purpose. The gfp variable should not be clobbered.

In case of !64BIT kernel we end up with a zero sized mem_section array.
This happens because NR_MEM_SECTIONS is smaller than SECTIONS_PER_ROOT
but we have:
#define NR_SECTION_ROOTS (NR_MEM_SECTIONS / SECTIONS_PER_ROOT)
and
struct mem_section *mem_section[NR_SECTION_ROOTS];
So fix this by selecting SPARSEMEM_STATIC which makes sure

The MPC85xx MDS board requires some board level tweaks of the PHYs that
either the eTSEC (gianfar) or UCC ethernet controllers are connected to.
Its possible to build the phylib as a module, however this breaks the
board level fix ups because phy_read and phy_write are not available
if we build as a module.
So we unconditionally select PHYLIB to ensure its built into the kernel
if we are building in MPC85xx MDS support. This was determined to be
the easiest soultion even though it prevents the user from removing
PHYLIB support if they decide they don't want it.

This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space,

valid page is found.
Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not
sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the
address space. The size is the difference between the top address and
bottom address.
