      powerpc: Optimize hugepage invalidate · 1a527286
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      Hugepage invalidate involves invalidating multiple hpte entries.
Optimize the operation using H_BULK_REMOVE on lpar platforms.
On native, reduce the number of tlb flush.

      powerpc: split hugepage when using subpage protection · d8e355a2
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      We find all the overlapping vma and mark them such that we don't allocate
hugepage in that range. Also we split existing huge page so that the
normal page hash can be invalidated and new page faulted in with new
protection bits.

      powerpc: disable assert_pte_locked for collapse_huge_page · a00e7bea
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      With THP we set pmd to none, before we do pte_clear. Hence we can't
walk page table to get the pte lock ptr and verify whether it is locked.
THP do take pte lock before calling pte_clear. So we don't change the locking
rules here. It is that we can't use page table walking to check whether
pte locks are held with THP.

      powerpc: Prevent gcc to re-read the pagetables · 7888b4dd
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      GCC is very likely to read the pagetables just once and cache them in
the local stack or in a register, but it is can also decide to re-read
the pagetables. The problem is that the pagetable in those places can
change from under gcc.

With THP/hugetlbfs the pmd (and pgd for hugetlbfs giga pages) can
change under gup_fast. The pages won't be freed untill we finish
gup fast because we have irq disabled and we free these pages via
rcu callback.

      powerpc: Make linux pagetable walk safe with THP enabled · 0ac52dd7
      由 Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于 
      We need to have irqs disabled to handle all the possible parallel update for
linux page table without holding locks.

Events that we are intersted in while walking page tables are
1) Page fault
2) umap
3) THP split
4) THP collapse

A) local_irq_disabled:
------------------------
1) page fault:
A none to valid transition via page fault is not an issue because we
would either see a none or valid. If it is none, we would error out
the page table walk. We may need to use on stack values when checking for
type of page table elements, because if we do

if (!is_hugepd()) {
    if (!pmd_none() {
       if (pmd_bad() {

We could take that bad condition because the pmd got converted to a hugepd
after the !is_hugepd check via a hugetlb fault.

The right way would be to check for pmd_none higher up or use on stack value.

2) A valid to none conversion via unmap:
We can safely walk the upper level table, because we don't remove the the
page table entries until rcu grace period. So even if we followed a
wrong pointer we still have the pointer valid till the grace period.

A PTE pointer returned need to be atomically checked for _PAGE_PRESENT and
 _PAGE_BUSY. A valid pointer returned could becoming none later. To prevent
pte_clear we take _PAGE_BUSY.

3) THP split:
A valid transparent hugepage is converted to nomal page. Before we split we
do pmd_splitting_flush, which sets the hugepage PTE to _PAGE_SPLITTING
So when walking page table we need to check for pmd_trans_splitting and
handle that. The pte returned should also need to be checked for
_PAGE_SPLITTING before setting _PAGE_BUSY similar to _PAGE_PRESENT. We save
the value of PTE on stack and check for the flag in the local pte value.
If we don't have the value set we can safely operate on the local pte value
and we atomicaly set _PAGE_BUSY.

4) THP collapse:
A normal page gets converted to hugepage. In the collapse path, we
mark the pmd none early (pmdp_clear_flush). With irq disabled, if we
are aleady walking page table we would see the pmd_none and won't continue.
If we see a valid PMD, we should still check for _PAGE_PRESENT before
setting _PAGE_BUSY, to make sure we didn't collapse the PTE to a Huge PTE.
