      [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock · 872fec16
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
      been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
      kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
      pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
      
      Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
      architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
      and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
      did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
      
      Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
      user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
      differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
      
      If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
      init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
      neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
      break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
      pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
      
      Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
      used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
      pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
      map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
      took page_table_lock for no good reason.

      [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.

      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!
