similar to: [PATCH] linux/x86: utilize lookup_address() for virt_to_ptep()

Add a helper function to convert an arbitrary mapped virtual address to a physical frame number. Adapted from code by Chris Wright, added support for large pages. Because of the placement, this needs to be a macro; pgd_offset_k requires init_mm to be defined, and getting the include files right seemed more complicated than a macroized implementation. A more proper location would be in

Provide a PT map hook for HIGHPTE kernels to designate where they are mapping page tables. This information is required so the physical address of PTE updates can be determined; otherwise, the mm layer would have to carry the physical address all the way to each PTE modification callsite, which is even more hideous that the macros required to provide the proper hooks. So lets not mess up arch

While, as discussed, the performance impact of this option is certainly higher than on native Linux, the option should not be entirely disallowed if people want to sacrifice performance for less lowmem pressure.

MMU code movement. Unfortunately, this one is a little bit more complicated than the rest. We have to override the default accessors that directly write to page table entries. Because of the 2/3-level PAE split in Linux, this turned out to be really ugly at first, but by allowing the sub-arch layer to override the definitions and keeping the native definitions in place, the code becomes much

4.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Karol Herbst <nouveau at karolherbst.de> commit cfa52c0cfa4d727aa3e457bf29aeff296c528a08 upstream. Because Linux might use bigger pages than the 4K pages to handle those mmio ioremaps, the kmmio code shouldn't rely on the pade id as it currently does. Using the memory address instead

Because Linux might use bigger pages than the 4K pages to handle those mmio ioremaps, the kmmio code shouldn't rely on the pade id as it currently does. Using the memory address instead of the page id let's us lookup how big the page is and what it's base address is, so that we won't get a page fault within the same page twice anymore. I don't know if I got this right though,

Hi, I think I got mmiotracing back to work on my machine. Would you please test this patch on your machines too? I still got some UNKNOWN entries in the mmiotrace file, but besides that it seems to work. I have no idea if that's the right way though, and it needs a big cleanup, but I just wanted to see if the basic idea works the patch should apply just fine on any 4.4 kernel happy

If something calls ioremap with an address not aligned to PAGE_SIZE, the returned address might be not aligned as well. This led to a probe registered on exactly the returned address, but the entire page was armed for mmiotracing. On calling iounmap the address passed to unregister_kmmio_probe was PAGE_SIZE aligned by the caller leading to a complete freeze of the machine. We should always page
