Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] x86/mtrr: fix handling with PAT but without MTRR
Date: Thu,  9 Feb 2023 08:22:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230209072220.6836-1-jgross@suse.com> (raw)

This series tries to fix the rather special case of PAT being available
without having MTRRs (either due to CONFIG_MTRR being not set, or
because the feature has been disabled e.g. by a hypervisor).

The main use cases are Xen PV guests and SEV-SNP guests running under
Hyper-V.

Instead of trying to work around all the issues by adding if statements
here and there, just try to use the complete available infrastructure
by setting up a read-only MTRR state when needed.

In the Xen PV case the current MTRR MSR values can be read from the
hypervisor, while for the SEV-SNP case all needed is to set the
default caching mode to "WB".

I have added more cleanup which has been discussed when looking into
the most recent failures.

Note that I couldn't test the Hyper-V related change (patch 3).

Running on bare metal and with Xen didn't show any problems with the
series applied.

Changes in V2:
- replaced former patches 1+2 with new patches 1-4, avoiding especially
  the rather hacky approach of V1, while making all the MTRR type
  conflict tests available for the Xen PV case
- updated patch 6 (was patch 4 in V1)

Juergen Gross (8):
  x86/mtrr: split off physical address size calculation
  x86/mtrr: support setting MTRR state for software defined MTRRs
  x86/hyperv: set MTRR state when running as SEV-SNP Hyper-V guest
  x86/xen: set MTRR state when running as Xen PV initial domain
  x86/mtrr: revert commit 90b926e68f50
  x86/mtrr: don't let mtrr_type_lookup() return MTRR_TYPE_INVALID
  x86/mm: only check uniform after calling mtrr_type_lookup()
  x86/mtrr: drop sanity check in mtrr_type_lookup_fixed()
