      PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures · 27ac792c
      Andrea Righi 提交于
      On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
      boundary. For example:
      
      	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
      
      always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
      
      The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
      example):
      
      #define PAGE_SHIFT      12
      #define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
      #define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
      ...
      #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
      
      The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
      PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
      Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
      typeof(addr) for the mask.
      
      Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
      include/linux/mm.h.

      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.

      Add __GFP_MOVABLE for callers to flag allocations from high memory that may be migrated · 769848c0
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      It is often known at allocation time whether a page may be migrated or not.
      This patch adds a flag called __GFP_MOVABLE and a new mask called
      GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE.  Allocations using the __GFP_MOVABLE can be either migrated
      using the page migration mechanism or reclaimed by syncing with backing
      storage and discarding.
      
      An API function very similar to alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() is added for
      __GFP_MOVABLE allocations called alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable().  The
      flags used by alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() are not changed because it would
      change the semantics of an existing API.  After this patch is applied there
      are no in-kernel users of alloc_zeroed_user_highpage() so it probably should
      be marked deprecated if this patch is merged.
      
      Note that this patch includes a minor cleanup to the use of __GFP_ZERO in
      shmem.c to keep all flag modifications to inode->mapping in the
      shmem_dir_alloc() helper function.  This clean-up suggestion is courtesy of
      Hugh Dickens.
      
      Additional credit goes to Christoph Lameter and Linus Torvalds for shaping the
      concept.  Credit to Hugh Dickens for catching issues with shmem swap vector
      and ramfs allocations.

      [S390] Virtual memmap for s390. · f4eb07c1
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Virtual memmap support for s390. Inspired by the ia64 implementation.
      
      Unlike ia64 we need a mechanism which allows us to dynamically attach
      shared memory regions.
      These memory regions are accessed via the dcss device driver. dcss
      implements the 'direct_access' operation, which requires struct pages
      for every single shared page.
      Therefore this implementation provides an interface to attach/detach
      shared memory:
      
      int add_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size);
      int remove_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size);
      
      The purpose of the add_shared_memory function is to add the given
      memory range to the 1:1 mapping and to make sure that the
      corresponding range in the vmemmap is backed with physical pages.
      It also initialises the new struct pages.
      
      remove_shared_memory in turn only invalidates the page table
      entries in the 1:1 mapping. The page tables and the memory used for
      struct pages in the vmemmap are currently not freed. They will be
      reused when the next segment will be attached.
      Given that the maximum size of a shared memory region is 2GB and
      in addition all regions must reside below 2GB this is not too much of
      a restriction, but there is room for improvement.

      [S390] Inline assembly cleanup. · 94c12cc7
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
      coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register
      asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps  as well. The atomic ops,
      bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc
      is used.  That results in slightly better code.
      
      Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
