      sh: default to extended TLB support. · 782bb5a5
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      All SH-X2 and SH-X3 parts support an extended TLB mode, which has been
      left as experimental since support was originally merged. Now that it's
      had some time to stabilize and get some exposure to various platforms,
      we can drop it as an option and default enable it across the board.
      
      This is also good future proofing for newer parts that will drop support
      for the legacy TLB mode completely.
      
      This will also force 3-level page tables for all newer parts, which is
      necessary both for the varying page sizes and larger memories.

      sh: Drop down to a single quicklist. · 0176bd3d
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      We previously had 2 quicklists, one for the PGD case and one for PTEs.
      Now that the PGD/PMD cases are handled through slab caches due to the
      multi-level configurability, only the PTE quicklist remains. As such,
      reduce NR_QUICK to its appropriate size and bump down the PTE quicklist
      index.

      sh: Move page table allocation out of line · 2a5eacca
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      We also switched away from quicklists and instead moved to slab
      caches. After benchmarking both implementations the difference is
      negligible. The slab caches suit us better though because the size of a
      pgd table is just 4 entries when we're using a 3-level page table layout
      and quicklists always deal with pages.

      CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables. · 2f569afd
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
      page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
      instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
      have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
      (pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
      instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
      for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
      To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
      1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
      
      Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
      the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
      page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
      cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
      32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
      accessible since its not kmapped).
      
      Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
      pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
      later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
      additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
      NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
      a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
      functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
      freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
       To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
      pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
      call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

      sh: page table alloc cleanups and page fault optimizations. · 26ff6c11
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      Cleanup of page table allocators, using generic folded PMD and PUD
      helpers. TLB flushing operations are moved to a more sensible spot.
      
      The page fault handler is also optimized slightly, we no longer waste
      cycles on IRQ disabling for flushing of the page from the ITLB, since
      we're already under CLI protection by the initial exception handler.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
