      arm64: hugetlb: add support for PTE contiguous bit · 66b3923a
      David Woods 提交于
      The arm64 MMU supports a Contiguous bit which is a hint that the TTE
      is one of a set of contiguous entries which can be cached in a single
      TLB entry.  Supporting this bit adds new intermediate huge page sizes.
      
      The set of huge page sizes available depends on the base page size.
      Without using contiguous pages the huge page sizes are as follows.
      
       4KB:   2MB  1GB
      64KB: 512MB
      
      With a 4KB granule, the contiguous bit groups together sets of 16 pages
      and with a 64KB granule it groups sets of 32 pages.  This enables two new
      huge page sizes in each case, so that the full set of available sizes
      is as follows.
      
       4KB:  64KB   2MB  32MB  1GB
      64KB:   2MB 512MB  16GB
      
      If a 16KB granule is used then the contiguous bit groups 128 pages
      at the PTE level and 32 pages at the PMD level.
      
      If the base page size is set to 64KB then 2MB pages are enabled by
      default.  It is possible in the future to make 2MB the default huge
      page size for both 4KB and 64KB granules.

      arm64: Add support for hardware updates of the access and dirty pte bits · 2f4b829c
      Catalin Marinas 提交于
      The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for hardware
      updates of the access and dirty information in page table entries. With
      TCR_EL1.HA enabled, when the CPU accesses an address with the PTE_AF bit
      cleared in the page table, instead of raising an access flag fault the
      CPU sets the actual page table entry bit. To ensure that kernel
      modifications to the page tables do not inadvertently revert a change
      introduced by hardware updates, the exclusive monitor (ldxr/stxr) is
      adopted in the pte accessors.
      
      When TCR_EL1.HD is enabled, a write access to a memory location with the
      DBM (Dirty Bit Management) bit set in the corresponding pte
      automatically clears the read-only bit (AP[2]). Such DBM bit maps onto
      the Linux PTE_WRITE bit and to check whether a writable (DBM set) page
      is dirty, the kernel tests the PTE_RDONLY bit. In order to allow
      read-only and dirty pages, the kernel needs to preserve the software
      dirty bit. The hardware dirty status is transferred to the software
      dirty bit in ptep_set_wrprotect() (using load/store exclusive loop) and
      pte_modify().
