- pat.c offers, dominantly, the memtype APIs - so rename it to memtype.c.

- pageattr.c is offering, primarily, the set_memory*() page attribute APIs,
  which is offered via the &lt;asm/set_memory.h&gt; header: name the .c file
  along the same pattern.

I.e. perform these renames, and move them all next to each other in arch/x86/mm/pat/:

    pat.c             =&gt; memtype.c
    pat_internal.h    =&gt; memtype.h
    pat_interval.c    =&gt; memtype_interval.c

    pageattr.c        =&gt; set_memory.c
    pageattr-test.c   =&gt; cpa-test.c

<title>x86/mm/pat: Clean up PAT initialization flags</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d891b9219d2a73640d2f2a216ecb6fb29d832013</id>
<content type='text'>
Right now we have these variables that impact the PAT initialization sequence:

  pat_disabled
  boot_cpu_done
  pat_initialized
  init_cm_done

Some have a pat_ prefix, some not, and the naming is random,
which makes their purpose rather opaque.

Name them consistently and according to their role:

  pat_disabled
  pat_bp_initialized
  pat_bp_enabled
  pat_cm_initialized

Also rename pat_bsp_init() =&gt; pat_bp_init(), to use the canonical
abbreviation.

Also add a warning for double calls of init_cache_modes(), the call chains
leading to this are complex and I couldn't convince myself that we never
call this function twice - so utilize the flag for a debug check.

No change in functionality intended.

<title>x86/mm/pat: Harmonize 'struct memtype *' local variable and function parameter use</title>

We have quite a zoo of 'struct memtype' variable nomenclature:

  new
  entry
  print_entry
  data
  match
  out
  memtype

Beyond the randomness, some of these are outright confusing, especially
when used in larger functions.

Standardize them:

  entry
  entry_new
  entry_old
  entry_print
  entry_match
  entry_out

The advantage is that it's easier to parse at a glance - and the tree is ordered
by start address, which is now reflected in putting the start address in the first
column.

This is also now similar to how we print e820 entries:

  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bafda000-0x00000000bb3d3fff] usable
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bb3d4000-0x00000000bdd2efff] reserved
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bdd2f000-0x00000000bddccfff] ACPI NVS
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bddcd000-0x00000000bdea0fff] ACPI data
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bdea1000-0x00000000bdf2efff] ACPI NVS

Since this is a debugfs file not used by tools there's no known ABI dependencies.

<title>x86/mm/pat: Disambiguate PAT-disabled boot messages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5557e831f68878ef202c0e5296235442cff9b41e</id>
<content type='text'>
Right now we have these four types of PAT-disabled boot messages:

  x86/PAT: PAT support disabled.
  x86/PAT: PAT MSR is 0, disabled.
  x86/PAT: MTRRs disabled, skipping PAT initialization too.
  x86/PAT: PAT not supported by CPU.

The first message is ambiguous in that it doesn't signal that PAT is off
due to a boot option.

The second message doesn't really make it clear that this is the MSR value
during early bootup and it's the firmware environment that disabled PAT
support.

The fourth message doesn't really make it clear that we disable PAT support
because CONFIG_MTRR is off in the kernel.

Clarify, harmonize and fix the spelling in these user-visible messages:

  x86/PAT: PAT support disabled via boot option.
  x86/PAT: PAT support disabled by the firmware.
  x86/PAT: PAT support disabled because CONFIG_MTRR is disabled in the kernel.
  x86/PAT: PAT not supported by the CPU.

Also add a fifth message, in case PAT support is disabled at build time:

  x86/PAT: PAT support disabled because CONFIG_X86_PAT is disabled in the kernel.

Previously we'd just silently return from pat_init() without giving any indication
that PAT support is off.

Finally, clarify/extend some of the comments related to PAT initialization.

Tidy up the code:

 - add comments explaining the PAT code, the role of the functions and the logic

 - fix various typos and grammar while at it

 - simplify the file-scope memtype_interval_*() namespace to interval_*()

 - simplify stylistic complications such as unnecessary linebreaks
   or convoluted control flow

 - use the simpler '#ifdef CONFIG_*' pattern instead of '#if defined(CONFIG_*)' pattern

 - remove the non-idiomatic newline between late_initcall() and its function definition

<title>x86/mm: Fix decoy address handling vs 32-bit builds</title>

<id>urn:sha1:51c3fbd89d7554caa3290837604309f8d8669d99</id>
<content type='text'>
A decoy address is used by set_mce_nospec() to update the cache attributes
for a page that may contain poison (multi-bit ECC error) while attempting
to minimize the possibility of triggering a speculative access to that
page.

When reserve_memtype() is handling a decoy address it needs to convert it
to its real physical alias. The conversion, AND'ing with __PHYSICAL_MASK,
is broken for a 32-bit physical mask and reserve_memtype() is passed the
last physical page. Gert reports triggering the:

    BUG_ON(start &gt;= end);

...assertion when running a 32-bit non-PAE build on a platform that has
a driver resource at the top of physical memory:

    BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved

Given that the decoy address scheme is only targeted at 64-bit builds and
assumes that the top of physical address space is free for use as a decoy
address range, simply bypass address sanitization in the 32-bit case.

Lastly, there was no need to crash the system when this failure occurred,
and no need to crash future systems if the assumptions of decoy addresses
are ever violated. Change the BUG_ON() to a WARN() with an error return.
