-x86/PAT: Xorg:705 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining
-
-The entry in question is setup by uvesafb which in its
-uvesafb_ioremap() function calls ioremap_wc().
-
-It appears that Xorg mmaps this from userspace, then later does a
-fork() to execute a utility. At this point, when creating the vmas for
-the new process, the pat code says "eeek!" as the protection mode for
-the new vmas don't match the old one, returns -EINVAL, the process dies
-and X goes with it.
-
-There are a few hammers we can hit this with, we can boot with "nopat"
-option which makes the problem go away, or turn off CONFIG_X86_PAT. No
-surprises there. Changing uvesafb to use mtrr=0 doesn't help since the
-ioremap_wc call still happens.
-
-The real issue is the "expected mapping type uncached-minus for got
-write-combining" message, it all goes wrong from there.
-
-Upon looking at the code and scratching my head for a long while, I
-notice that there are two ways of representing the protection mode
-data, "enum page_cache_mode" and "pgprot_t & _PAGE_CACHE_MASK".
-
-The exact meaning of pgprot_t depends on which CPU you're running,
-older CPUs have errata meaning only a small number of bits can be used.
-The exact mapping table is determined by __cachemode2pte_tbl and is
-updated at boot by calls from update_cache_mode_entry().
-
-The result of this if you map enum -> pgprot_t, then try to do pgprot_t
--> enum, you can get different values since its not a 1:1 mapping.
-
-This means the comparison in reserve_pfn_range() where it does "pcm !=
-want_pcm" isn't correct and can trigger even in cases where there isn't
-a problem.
-
-This can be "fixed" by doing cachemode2protval(pcm) !=
-cachemode2protval(want_pcm) and checking whether the protection bits
-match, rather than the enum values, since in reality this is what we
-really care about. With that change, X boots up just fine.
-
-We don't see this on qemux86-64 since that has more PAT bits working
-and hence the values map correctly.
