Subject: [PATCH] Fix qemux86 pat issue
|
|
|
|
on qemux86, X doesn't start and there is
|
|
a backtrace in the logs:
|

|
|
x86/PAT: Xorg:705 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining

x86/PAT: Xorg:705 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining
|
|
|
|
The entry in question is setup by uvesafb which in its
|
|
uvesafb_ioremap() function calls ioremap_wc().
|
|
|
|
It appears that Xorg mmaps this from userspace, then later does a
|
|
fork() to execute a utility. At this point, when creating the vmas for
|
|
the new process, the pat code says "eeek!" as the protection mode for
|
|
the new vmas don't match the old one, returns -EINVAL, the process dies
|
|
and X goes with it.
|
|
|
|
There are a few hammers we can hit this with, we can boot with "nopat"
|
|
option which makes the problem go away, or turn off CONFIG_X86_PAT. No
|
|
surprises there. Changing uvesafb to use mtrr=0 doesn't help since the
|
|
ioremap_wc call still happens.
|
|
|
|
The real issue is the "expected mapping type uncached-minus for got
|
|
write-combining" message, it all goes wrong from there.
|
|
|
|
Upon looking at the code and scratching my head for a long while, I
|
|
notice that there are two ways of representing the protection mode
|
|
data, "enum page_cache_mode" and "pgprot_t & _PAGE_CACHE_MASK".
|
|
|
|
The exact meaning of pgprot_t depends on which CPU you're running,
|
|
older CPUs have errata meaning only a small number of bits can be used.
|
|
The exact mapping table is determined by __cachemode2pte_tbl and is
|
|
updated at boot by calls from update_cache_mode_entry().
|
|
|
|
The result of this if you map enum -> pgprot_t, then try to do pgprot_t
|
|
-> enum, you can get different values since its not a 1:1 mapping.
|
|
|
|
This means the comparison in reserve_pfn_range() where it does "pcm !=
|
|
want_pcm" isn't correct and can trigger even in cases where there isn't
|
|
a problem.
|
|
|
|
This can be "fixed" by doing cachemode2protval(pcm) !=
|
|
cachemode2protval(want_pcm) and checking whether the protection bits
|
|
match, rather than the enum values, since in reality this is what we
|
|
really care about. With that change, X boots up just fine.
|
|
|
|
We don't see this on qemux86-64 since that has more PAT bits working
|
|
and hence the values map correctly.
