[v5,00/15] x86/mtrr: fix handling with PAT but without MTRR

Message

Jürgen Groß April 1, 2023, 6:36 a.m. UTC

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.

It should be noted that patches 9+10 are replacing today's way to
lookup the MTRR cache type for a memory region from looking at the
MTRR register values to building a memory map with the cache types.
This should make the lookup much faster and much easier to understand.

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)

Changes in V3:
- dropped patch 5 of V2, as already applied
- split patch 1 of V2 into 2 patches
- new patches 6-10
- addressed comments

Changes in V4:
- addressed comments

Changes in V5
- addressed comments
- some other small fixes
- new patches 3, 8 and 15
