firewire: fw-sbp2: try to increase reconnect_hold (speed up reconnection)
Ask the target to grant 4 seconds instead of the standard and minimum of
1 second window after bus reset for reconnection. This accelerates
reconnection if there are more than one targets on the bus: If a login
and inquiry to one target blocks the fw-sbp2 workqueue for more than 1s
after bus reset, we now still can reconnect to the other target.
Before that, fw-sbp2's reconnect attempts would be rejected with "error
status: 0:9" (function rejected), and fw-sbp2 would finally re-login.
All those futile reconnect attemps cost extra time until the target
which needs re-login is ready for I/O again.
The reconnect timeout field in the login ORB doesn't have to be honored
by the target though. I found that we could get up to
- allegedly 32768s from an old OXFW911 firmware
- 256s from LSI bridges
- 4s from OXUF922 and OXFW912 bridges,
- 2s from TI bridges,
- only the standard 1s from Initio and Prolific bridges and from
Apple OpenFirmware in target mode.
We just try to get 4 seconds which already covers the case of a few
HDDs on the same bus quite nicely.
A minor drawback occurs in the following (rare and impractical) border
case:
- two initiators are there, initiator 1 holds an exclusive login to
a target,
- initiator 1 goes off the bus,
- target refuses login attempts from initiator 2 until reconnect_hold
seconds after bus reset.
An alternative approach to the issue at hand would be to parallelize
fw-sbp2's reconnect and login work.

firewire: fw-ohci: Dynamically allocate buffers for DMA descriptors
Previously, the fw-ohci driver used fixed-length buffers for storing
descriptors for isochronous receive DMA programs. If an application
(such as libdc1394) generated a DMA program that was too large, fw-ohci
would reach the limit of its fixed-sized buffer and return an error to
userspace.
This patch replaces the fixed-length ring-buffer with a linked-list of
page-sized buffers. Additional buffers can be dynamically allocated and
appended to the list when necessary. For a particular context, buffers
are kept around after use and reused as necessary, so there is no
allocation taking place after the DMA program is generated for the first
time.
In addition, the buffers it uses are coherent for DMA so there is no
syncing required before and after writes. This syncing wasn't properly
done in the previous version of the code.
-
This is the fourth version of my patch that replaces a fixed-length
buffer for DMA descriptors with a dynamically allocated linked-list of
buffers.
As we discovered with the last attempt, new context programs are
sometimes queued from interrupt context, making it unacceptable to call
tasklet_disable() from context_get_descriptors().
This version of the patch uses ohci->lock for all locking needs instead
of tasklet_disable/enable. There is a new requirement that
context_get_descriptors() be called while holding ohci->lock. It was
already held for the AT context, so adding the requirement for the iso
context did not seem particularly onerous. In addition, this has the
side benefit of allowing iso queue to be safely called from concurrent
user-space threads, which previously was not safe.

firewire: fw-ohci: Bug fixes for packet-per-buffer support
This patch corrects a number of bugs in the current OHCI 1.0
packet-per-buffer support:
1. Correctly deal with payloads that cross a page boundary. The
previous version would not split the descriptor at such a boundary,
potentially corrupting unrelated memory.
2. Allow user-space to specify multiple packets per struct
fw_cdev_iso_packet in the same way that dual-buffer allows. This is
signaled by header_length being a multiple of header_size. This
multiple determines the number of packets. The payload size allocated
per packet is determined by dividing the total payload size by the
number of packets.
3. Make sync support work properly for packet-per-buffer.
I have tested this patch with libdc1394 by forcing my OHCI 1.1
controller to use the packet-per-buffer support instead of dual-buffer.
I would greatly appreciate testing by those who have a DV devices and
other types of iso streamers to make sure I didn't cause any
regressions.
Stefan, with this patch, I'm hoping that libdc1394 will work with all
your OHCI 1.0 controllers now.
The one bit of future work that remains for packet-per-buffer support is
the automatic compaction of short payloads that I discussed with

firewire: fw-ohci: Fix for dualbuffer three-or-more buffers
This patch fixes the problem where different OHCI 1.1 controllers behave
differently when a received iso packet straddles three or more buffers
when using the dual-buffer receive mode. Two changes are made in order
to handle this situation:
1. The packet sync DMA descriptor is given a non-zero header length and
non-zero payload length. This is because zero-payload descriptors are
not discussed in the OHCI 1.1 specs and their behavior is thus
undefined. Instead we use a header size just large enough for a single
header and a payload length of 4 bytes for this first descriptor.
2. As we process received packets in the context's tasklet, read the
packet length out of the headers. Keep track of the running total of
the packet length as "excess_bytes", so we can ignore any descriptors
where no packet starts or ends. These descriptors may not have had
their first_res_count or second_res_count fields updated by the
controller so we cannot rely on those values.
The main drawback of this patch is that the excess_bytes value might get
"out of sync" with the packet descriptors if something strange happens
to the DMA program. I'm not if such a thing could ever happen, but I
appreciate any suggestions in making it more robust.
Also, the packet-per-buffer support may need a similar fix to deal with
issue 1, but I haven't done any work on that yet.

ieee1394: sbp2: raise default transfer size limit

fw-sbp2, sbp2 now does not limit the size of single transfers to 255
sectors anymore, unless told so by a blacklist flag or by module load
parameters.
Only very old bridge chips have been known to need the 255 sectors
limit, and we have got one such chip in our hardwired blacklist. There
certainly is a danger that more bridges need that limit; but I prefer to
have this issue present in both fw-sbp2 and sbp2 rather than just one of

PAE mode requires that we reload cr3 in order to guarantee that
changes to the pgd will be noticed by the processor. This means that
in principle pud_clear needs to reload cr3 every time. However,
because reloading cr3 implies a tlb flush, we want to avoid it where
possible.
pud_clear() is only used in a couple of places:
- in free_pmd_range(), when pulling down a range of process address space, and
- huge_pmd_unshare()
In both cases, the calling code will do a a tlb flush anyway, so
there's no need to do it within pud_clear().
In free_pmd_range(), the pud_clear is immediately followed by
pmd_free_tlb(); we can hook that to make the mmu_gather do an
unconditional full flush to make sure cr3 gets reloaded.
In huge_pmd_unshare, it is followed by flush_tlb_range, which always
results in a full cr3-reload tlb flush.

x86: early boot debugging via FireWire (ohci1394_dma=early)
This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.
If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.
With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.
In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.
An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case. Previously
they were always allocated and freed with the pgd. The modifies the
code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on
demand.
This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation
as much as possible.
There is a complicating wart, however. When you install a new
reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see
it unless you reload cr3. Since reloading cr3 also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to
avoid whereever possible.
This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the
current pagetable. Later patches will optimise this further.

When changing a kernel page from RO->RW, it's OK to leave stale TLB
entries around, since doing a global flush is expensive and they pose
no security problem. They can, however, generate a spurious fault,
which we should catch and simply return from (which will have the
side-effect of reloading the TLB to the current PTE).
This can occur when running under Xen, because it frequently changes
kernel pages from RW->RO->RW to implement Xen's pagetable semantics.
It could also occur when using CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, since it avoids
doing a global TLB flush after changing page permissions.

x86: fix the missing BIOS area check in page_is_ram
page_is_ram has a FIXME since ages, which reminds to sanity check the
BIOS area between 640k and 1M, which is sometimes falsely reported as
RAM in the e820 tables.
Implement the sanity check. Move the BIOS range defines from
pageattr.c into e820.h to avoid duplicate defines.

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

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.

x86: turn the check_exec function into function that
What the check_exec() function really is trying to do is enforce certain
bits in the pgprot that are required by the x86 architecture, but that
callers might not be aware of (such as NX bit exclusion of the BIOS
area for BIOS based PCI access; it's not uncommon to ioremap the BIOS
region for various purposes and normally ioremap() memory has the NX bit
set).
This patch turns the check_exec() function into static_protections()
which also is now used to make sure the kernel text area remains non-NX
and that the .rodata section remains read-only. If the architecture
ends up requiring more such mandatory prot settings for specific areas,
this is now a reasonable place to add these.

This patch fixes a bug of ioremap_nocache. ioremap_nocache() will call
__ioremap() with flags != 0 to do the real work, which will call
change_page_attr_addr() if phys_addr + size - 1 < (end_pfn_map << PAGE_SHIFT).
But some pages between 0 ~ end_pfn_map << PAGE_SHIFT are not mapped by
identity map, this will make change_page_attr_addr failed.

x86: fix NX bit handling in change_page_attr()
This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on
Intel i386/x86_64 CPUs. After changing page attribute to be
executable with these functions, the page remains un-executable on
Intel i386/x86_64 CPU. Because on Intel i386/x86_64 CPU, only if the
"NX" bits of all three level page tables are cleared (PAE is enabled),
the corresponding page is executable (refer to section 4.13.2 of Intel
64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual). So, the bug
is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when splitting the huge
PMD.
