x86/mm/pat: Add set_memory_wt() for Write-Through type

2015-06-07T13:29:00+00:00

Now that reserve_ram_pages_type() accepts the WT type, add set_memory_wt(), set_memory_array_wt() and set_pages_array_wt() in order to be able to set memory to Write-Through page cache mode. Also, extend ioremap_change_attr() to accept the WT type. Signed-off-by: Toshi Kani Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Elliott@hp.com Cc: H.

x86/mm, asm-generic: Add ioremap_wt() for creating Write-Through mappings

2015-06-07T13:28:56+00:00

Add ioremap_wt() for creating Write-Through mappings on x86. It follows the same model as ioremap_wc() for multi-arch support. Define ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WT in the x86 version of io.h to indicate that ioremap_wt() is implemented on x86. Also update the PAT documentation file to cover ioremap_wt().

x86/mm/mtrr, pat: Document Write Combining MTRR type effects on PAT / non-PAT pages

2015-05-27T12:40:59+00:00

As part of the effort to phase out MTRR use document write-combining MTRR effects on pages with different non-PAT page attributes flags and different PAT entry values. Extend arch_phys_wc_add() documentation to clarify power of two sizes / boundary requirements as we phase out mtrr_add() use. Lastly hint towards ioremap_uc() for corner cases on device drivers working with devices with mixed regions where MTRR size requirements would otherwise not enable write-combining effective memory types.
