The implementation of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() directly calls ptep_set_wrprotect() to mark a hugepte write protected. However this call is not appropriate on ppc64 kernels as this is a small page only implementation. This can lead to the hash not being flushed correctly when a mapping is being converted to COW, allowing processes to continue using the original copy. Currently huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() unconditionally calls ptep_set_wrprotect(). This is fine on ppc32 kernels as this call is generic. On 64 bit this is implemented as: pte_update(mm, addr, ptep, _PAGE_RW, 0); On ppc64 this last parameter is the page size and is passed directly on to hpte_need_flush(): hpte_need_flush(mm, addr, ptep, old, huge); And this directly affects the page size we pass to flush_hash_page(): flush_hash_page(vaddr, rpte, psize, ssize, 0); As this changes the way the hash is calculated we will flush the wrong pages, potentially leaving live hashes to the original page. Move the definition of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() to the 32/64 bit specific headers.

The new 440x6 core used on AMCC 460EX/GT introduces new storage attibure fields to the TLB2 word. Those are: Bit 11 12 13 14 15 WL1 IL1I IL1D IL2I IL2D With these bits the cache (L1 and L2) can be configured in a more flexible way, instruction- and data-cache independently now. The "old" I and W bits are still available and setting these old bits will automically set these new bits too (for backward compatibilty). The current code does not clear these fields resulting in disabling the cache by chance. This patch now makes sure that these new bits are cleared when the TLB2 word is written.

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted: vm_normal_page() { ... if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) { if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; #else if (!pfn_valid(pfn)) return NULL; #endif goto out; } ... } This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get slightly better code generation in the process): vm_normal_page() { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; return pte_page(pte); #else ... #endif } And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this. Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate. So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any compiled code changes to mm/memory.o. BTW: I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion. The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function -- the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions, while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches in their distro... This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon return to user space when that happens. This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which isn't something I want to deal with.

Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults. This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed). This allow fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

There are no actual implementations of fixup_bigphys_addr() in arch/powerpc, and with a 64-bit aware ioremap() and so forth, it should no longer be necessary. This patch removes the last dregs of fixup_bigphys_addr() from arch/powerpc. In fact, the only reason this hasn't caused link errors already is that nobody must have tried using one of the small number of drivers using io_remap_pfn_range() on one of the small number of platforms which are 32-bit but define CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT. Nonetheless this fixes a bug, and should go into 2.6.22. Signed-off-by: NDavid Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack, to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels). This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.

32-bit powerpc uses a PTE_FMT macro to handle printk() formatting of PTE entries (which can vary in type and size). Apparently there was a good reason for it once, but with current compilers it's simpler just to workaround the variation with a cast in the printk() itself (there's only one use).

Currently, all 32-bit powerpc platforms use asm-ppc/pgtable.h and asm-ppc/pgalloc.h, even when otherwise compiled with ARCH=powerpc. Those asm-ppc files are a fairly nasty tangle of #ifdefs including a bunch of things which shouldn't be necessary any more in arch/powerpc. Cleaning up that mess is going to take a while, but this patch is a first step. It separates the asm-powerpc/pg{alloc,table}.h into 64 bit and 32 bit versions in asm-powerpc, which the basic .h files in asm-powerpc select based on config. We make a few tiny tweaks to the innards of the files along the way, making the outermost ifdefs (double-inclusion protection and __KERNEL__) a little cleaner, and #including asm-generic/pgtable.h from the top-level asm-powerpc/pgtable.h (since both the old 32-bit and 64-bit versions ended with such an #include).

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the other hand, return the kernel virtual address. Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is simple to standardize their usage. Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an address. This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G on 32-bit architectures. We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G. Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an address by directly comparing to max_pfn. Working with max_pfn instead of high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

To add support for 36-bit physical addressing on e500 the following changes have been made. The changes are generalized to support any physical address size larger than 32-bits: * Allow FSL Book-E parts to use a 64-bit PTE, it is 44-bits of pfn, 20-bits of flags. * Introduced new CPU feature (CPU_FTR_BIG_PHYS) to allow runtime handling of updating hardware register (SPRN_MAS7) which holds the upper 32-bits of physical address that will be written into the TLB. This is useful since not all e500 cores support 36-bit physical addressing. * Currently have a pass through implementation of fixup_bigphys_addr * Moved _PAGE_DIRTY in the 64-bit PTE case to free room for three additional storage attributes that may exist in future FSL Book-E cores and updated fault handler to copy these bits into the hardware TLBs.

While the existing pte_update code handled atomically modifying a 64-bit PTE, it did not return all 64-bits of the PTE before it was modified. This causes problems in some places that expect the full PTE to be returned, like ptep_get_and_clear(). Created a new pte_update function that is conditional on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT. It atomically reads the low PTE word which all PTE flags are required to be in and returns a premodified full 64-bit PTE. Since we now have an explicit 64-bit PTE version of pte_update we can also remove the hack that existed to get the low PTE word regardless of size.
