      MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself · 4b3073e1
      Russell King 提交于
      On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
      in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
      copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
      uncacheable.
      
      This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
      now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
      for modification via update_mmu_cache().
      
      Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
      update_mmu_cache():
      
        On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
        to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
        more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
        pte_t?
      
      Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:
      
        Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
        -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
        for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
        _PAGE_EXEC.
      
      So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
      remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
      suit.
      
      Includes a fix from Stephen Rothwell:

      sparc64: Validate linear D-TLB misses. · d8ed1d43
      David S. Miller 提交于
      When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any
      virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses.  But with kgdb, kernel
      address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary
      crap.
      
      So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory
      that actually exists.
      
      In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap
      into the kernel image.  And in order to make that less expensive we
      make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is
      decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit
      physical address space.  We can do this because bit 41 indicates
      "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges.
      
      The result of this is that:
      
      1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size
      
      2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap
      
      We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated
      once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have
      crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such.
      
      If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal
      inside of the cpu.  So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu
      will be out of trap levels and enter RED state.
      
      To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check
      to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set.  We
      could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an
      unnecessary extra memory reference.
      
      On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations
      into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB
      misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks
      in the TLB miss path.

      sparc64: Use unsigned long long for u64. · 90181136

          People keep on doing

          testing it only on x86_64 and this generates a warning storm on
          powerpc, sparc64, etc.  Because they use `long', not `long long'.
      
          Quite a few 64-bit architectures are using `long' for their
          s64/u64 types.  We should convert them all to `long long'.
      
      Update types.h so we use unsigned long long for u64 and
      fix all warnings in sparc64 code.
      Tested with an allnoconfig, defconfig and allmodconfig builds.
      
      This patch introduces additional warnings in several drivers.
      These will be dealt with in separate patches.

      sparc64: refactor code in init_64.c · ff9aefbf
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      The sparc64 allmodconfig build broke due to enabling of the
      branch_tracer that does some very clever things with
      all if conditions. This caused my gcc 3.4.5 to be so confused that
      it emitted two warnings:
      
      arch/sparc/mm/init_64.c: In function `update_mmu_cache':
      arch/sparc/mm/init_64.c:271: warning: 'pg_flags' might be used uninitialized in this function
      arch/sparc/mm/init_64.c:272: warning: 'page' might be used uninitialized in this function
      
      And with -Werror this broke the build.
      
      Refactor code so it:
      1) becomes more readable
      2) no longer emit a warning with the branch_tracer enabled
      
      The refactoring uses a small helper function (flush_dcache()).

      sparc64: Fix cmdline_memory_size handling bugs. · f2b60794
      David S. Miller 提交于
      First, lmb_enforce_memory_limit() interprets it's argument
      (mostly, heh) as a size limit not an address limit.  So pass
      the raw cmdline_memory_size value into it.  And we don't
      need to check it against zero, lmb_enforce_memory_limit() does
      that for us.
      
      Next, free_initmem() needs special handling when the kernel
      command line trims the available memory.  The problem case is
      if the trimmed out memory is where the kernel image itself
      resides.
      
      When that memory is trimmed out, we don't add those physical
      ram areas to the sparsemem active ranges, amongst other things.
      Which means that this free_initmem() code will free up invalid
      page structs, resulting in either crashes or hangs.
      
      Just quick fix this by not freeing initmem at all if "mem="
      was given on the boot command line.

      pageflags: get rid of FLAGS_RESERVED · 9223b419
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      NR_PAGEFLAGS specifies the number of page flags we are using.  From that we
      can calculate the number of bits leftover that can be used for zone, node (and
      maybe the sections id).  There is no need anymore for FLAGS_RESERVED if we use
      NR_PAGEFLAGS.
      
      Use the new methods to make NR_PAGEFLAGS available via the preprocessor.
      NR_PAGEFLAGS is used to calculate field boundaries in the page flags fields.
      These field widths have to be available to the preprocessor.
