      [PATCH] Dynamic hugepage addresses for ppc64 · c594adad
      David Gibson 提交于
      Paulus, I think this is now a reasonable candidate for the post-2.6.13
      queue.
      
      Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64
      
      Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the
      address region from 1-1.5T.  Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in
      the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages
      in this area.  This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any
      address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity.  That
      is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire
      area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of
      the process's lifetime.  This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit
      applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB
      (mmu segment) granularity.
      
      This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch
      (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).

      [PATCH] Four level pagetables for ppc64 · e28f7faf
      David Gibson 提交于
      Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64
      
      This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby
      extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T).
      
      The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level,
      and a quarter page for the intermediate levels.  It uses full 64-bit
      pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of
      physical memory.  This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow
      matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available
      contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

      [PATCH] ppc64: Abolish ioremap_mm · 20cee16c
      David Gibson 提交于
      Currently ppc64 has two mm_structs for the kernel, init_mm and also
      ioremap_mm.  The latter really isn't necessary: this patch abolishes it,
      instead restricting vmallocs to the lower 1TB of the init_mm's range and
      placing io mappings in the upper 1TB.  This simplifies the code in a number
      of places and eliminates an unecessary set of pagetables.  It also tweaks
      the unmap/free path a little, allowing us to remove the unmap_im_area() set
      of page table walkers, replacing them with unmap_vm_area().

      [PATCH] ppc64: pgtable.h and other header cleanups · 1f8d419e
      David Gibson 提交于
      This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from
      asm-ppc64/pgtable.h, then kind of grew.  It now makes a bunch of
      cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding
      changes to .c files where necessary) such as:
      	- Abolishing never-used macros
      	- Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose
      	- Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the
      macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible)
      	- Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in
      terms of each other weren't
      	- Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their
      own header file (imalloc.h)
      	- Re-arranging headers to group things more logically
      	- Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead
      of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h
      	- Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're
      not using it.
      	- Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

      [PATCH] ppc64: noexec fixes · a2f95a5a
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      There were a few issues with the ppc64 noexec support:
      
      The 64bit ABI has a non executable stack by default.  At the moment 64bit apps
      require a PT_GNU_STACK section in order to have a non executable stack.
      
      Disable the read implies exec workaround on the 64bit ABI.  The 64bit
      toolchain has never had problems with incorrect mmap permissions (the 32bit
      has, thats why we need to retain the workaround).
      
      With these fixes as well as a gcc fix from Alan Modra (that was recently
      committed) 64bit apps work as expected.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
