      ARC: lazy dcache flush broke gdb in non-aliasing configs · 7bb66f6e
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a
      code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set
      the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for
      corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed.
      
      So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made
      default. There is no significant overhead since all of special alias
      handling code is compiled out for non-aliasing build

      ARC: [mm] Aliasing VIPT dcache support 2/4 · 4102b533
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      This is the meat of the series which prevents any dcache alias creation
      by always keeping the U and K mapping of a page congruent.
      If a mapping already exists, and other tries to access the page, prev
      one is flushed to physical page (wback+inv)
      
      Essentially flush_dcache_page()/copy_user_highpage() create K-mapping
      of a page, but try to defer flushing, unless U-mapping exist.
      When page is actually mapped to userspace, update_mmu_cache() flushes
      the K-mapping (in certain cases this can be optimised out)
      
      Additonally flush_cache_mm(), flush_cache_range(), flush_cache_page()
      handle the puring of stale userspace mappings on exit/munmap...
      
      flush_anon_page() handles the existing U-mapping for anon page before
      kernel reads it via the GUP path.
      
      Note that while not complete, this is enough to boot a simple
      dynamically linked Busybox based rootfs

      ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing VIPT) · eacd0e95
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      flush_dcache_page( ) is MM hook to ensure that a page has consistent
      views between kernel and userspace. Thus it is called when
      
      * kernel writes to a page which at some later point could get mapped to
        userspace (so kernel mapping needs to be flushed-n-inv)
      * kernel is about to read from a page with possible userspace mappings
        (so userspace mappings needs to be made coherent with kernel ones)
      
      However for Non aliasing VIPT dcache, any userspace mapping will always
      be congruent to kernel mapping. Thus d-cache need need not be flushed at
      all (or delayed indefinitely).
      
      The only reason it does need to be flushed is when mapping code pages.
      Since icache doesn't snoop dcache, those dirty dcache lines need to be
      written back to memory and icache line invalidated so that icache lines
      fetch will get the right data.
      
      Decent gains on LMBench fork/exec/sh and File I/O micro-benchmarks.

      ARC: [mm] optimise icache flush for kernel mappings · 7586bf72
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      This change continues the theme from prev commit - this time icache
      handling for kernel's own code modification (vmalloc: loadable modules,
      breakpoints for kprobes/kgdb...)
      
      flush_icache_range() calls the CDU icache helper with vaddr to enable
      exact line invalidate.
      
      For a true kernel-virtual mapping, the vaddr is actually virtual hence
      valid as index into cache. For kprobes breakpoint however, the vaddr arg
      is actually paddr - since that's how normal kernel is mapped in ARC
      memory map.  This implies that CDU will use the same addr for
      indexing as for tag match - which is fine since kernel code would only
      have that "implicit" mapping and none other.
      
      This should speed up module loading significantly - specially on default
      ARC700 icache configurations (32k) which alias.

      ARC: [mm] optimise icache flush for user mappings · 24603fdd
      Vineet Gupta 提交于
      ARC icache doesn't snoop dcache thus executable pages need to be made
      coherent before mapping into userspace in flush_icache_page().
      
      However ARC700 CDU (hardware cache flush module) requires both vaddr
      (index in cache) as well as paddr (tag match) to correctly identify a
      line in the VIPT cache. A typical ARC700 SoC has aliasing icache, thus
      the paddr only based flush_icache_page() API couldn't be implemented
      efficiently. It had to loop thru all possible alias indexes and perform
      the invalidate operation (ofcourse the cache op would only succeed at
      the index(es) where tag matches - typically only 1, but the cost of
      visiting all the cache-bins needs to paid nevertheless).
      
      Turns out however that the vaddr (along with paddr) is available in
      update_mmu_cache() hence better suits ARC icache flush semantics.
      With both vaddr+paddr, exactly one flush operation per line is done.
