      powerpc: New hugepage directory format · cf9427b8
      Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于
      Change the hugepage directory format so that we can have leaf ptes directly
      at page directory avoiding the allocation of hugepage directory.
      
      With the new table format we have 3 cases for pgds and pmds:
      (1) invalid (all zeroes)
      (2) pointer to next table, as normal; bottom 6 bits == 0
      (4) hugepd pointer, bottom two bits == 00, next 4 bits indicate size of table
      
      Instead of storing shift value in hugepd pointer we use mmu_psize_def index
      so that we can fit all the supported hugepage size in 4 bits

      mm/hugetlb: add more arch-defined huge_pte functions · 106c992a
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      Commit abf09bed ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits")
      introduced another difference in the pte layout vs.  the pmd layout on
      s390, thoroughly breaking the s390 support for hugetlbfs.  This requires
      replacing some more pte_xxx functions in mm/hugetlbfs.c with a
      huge_pte_xxx version.
      
      This patch introduces those huge_pte_xxx functions and their generic
      implementation in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, which will now be included on
      all architectures supporting hugetlbfs apart from s390.  This change
      will be a no-op for those architectures.

      mm: hugetlb: add arch hook for clearing page flags before entering pool · 5d3a551c
      Will Deacon 提交于
      The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
      pages via free_pages_check.  A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
      rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
      cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
      userspace.
      
      This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
      since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
      allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
      pool.
      
      This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
      that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
      state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
      is freed into the pool.

      powerpc: Hugetlb for BookE · 41151e77
      Becky Bruce 提交于
      Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors.  This allows the kernel to
      use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
      TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
      large memory footprints.  Care should be taken when using this on FSL
      processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
      (16-64) on current processors.
      
      The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
      Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
      must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).
      
      This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
      processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
      64-bit BooKE.

      powerpc/mm: Bring hugepage PTE accessor functions back into sync with normal accessors · 0895ecda
      David Gibson 提交于
      The hugepage arch code provides a number of hook functions/macros
      which mirror the functionality of various normal page pte access
      functions.  Various changes in the normal page accessors (in
      particular BenH's recent changes to the handling of lazy icache
      flushing and PAGE_EXEC) have caused the hugepage versions to get out
      of sync with the originals.  In some cases, this is a bug, at least on
      some MMU types.
      
      One of the reasons that some hooks were not identical to the normal
      page versions, is that the fact we're dealing with a hugepage needed
      to be passed down do use the correct dcache-icache flush function.
      This patch makes the main flush_dcache_icache_page() function hugepage
      aware (by checking for the PageCompound flag).  That in turn means we
      can make set_huge_pte_at() just a call to set_pte_at() bringing it
      back into sync.  As a bonus, this lets us remove the
      hash_huge_page_do_lazy_icache() function, replacing it with a call to
      the hash_page_do_lazy_icache() function it was based on.
      
      Some other hugepage pte access hooks - huge_ptep_get_and_clear() and
      huge_ptep_clear_flush() - are not so easily unified, but this patch at
      least brings them back into sync with the current versions of the
      corresponding normal page functions.

      powerpc/mm: Allow more flexible layouts for hugepage pagetables · a4fe3ce7
      David Gibson 提交于
      Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different
      pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to
      hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page
      tables at a different level.  Every hugepage aware path that needs to
      walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the
      slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables
      accordingly.  Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage
      sizes, more layout options and more mess.
      
      This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to
      reduce this complexity.  In the new scheme, instead of having to
      consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the
      PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables,
      and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage
      shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the
      slice mask.  This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple
      levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for
      now we assume only one level exists.
      
      This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to
      know how the pagetables should be set out.  All other (hugepage)
      pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go.
      
      There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage
      directory pointers, but it was only used for debug.  We alter that
      flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable
      pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear
      mapping).  This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and
      punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for
      unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage
      pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative.
      
      While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating)
      #defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.

      Correct hash flushing from huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() · 86df8642
      David Gibson 提交于
      As Andy Whitcroft recently pointed out, the current powerpc version of
      huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() has a bug.  It just calls ptep_set_wrprotect()
      which in turn calls pte_update() then hpte_need_flush() with the 'huge'
      argument set to 0.  This will cause hpte_need_flush() to flush the wrong
      hash entries (of any).  Andy's fix for this is already in the powerpc
      tree as commit 016b33c4.
      
      I have confirmed this is a real bug, not masked by some other
      synchronization, with a new testcase for libhugetlbfs.  A process write
      a (MAP_PRIVATE) hugepage mapping, fork(), then alter the mapping and
      have the child incorrectly see the second write.
      
      Therefore, this should be fixed for 2.6.26, and for the stable tree.
      Here is a suitable patch for 2.6.26, which I think will also be suitable
      for the stable tree (neither of the headers in question has been changed
      much recently).
      
      It is cut down slighlty from Andy's original version, in that it does
      not include a 32-bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect().  Currently,
      hugepages are not supported on any 32-bit powerpc platform.  When they
      are, a suitable 32-bit version can be added - the only 32-bit hardware
      which supports hugepages does not use the conventional hashtable MMU and
      so will have different needs anyway.

      powerpc: Add 64 bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect · 016b33c4
      Andy Whitcroft 提交于
      The implementation of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() directly calls
      ptep_set_wrprotect() to mark a hugepte write protected.  However this
      call is not appropriate on ppc64 kernels as this is a small page only
      implementation.  This can lead to the hash not being flushed correctly
      when a mapping is being converted to COW, allowing processes to continue
      using the original copy.
      
      Currently huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() unconditionally calls
      ptep_set_wrprotect().  This is fine on ppc32 kernels as this call is
      generic.  On 64 bit this is implemented as:
      
      	pte_update(mm, addr, ptep, _PAGE_RW, 0);
      
      On ppc64 this last parameter is the page size and is passed directly on
      to hpte_need_flush():
      
      	hpte_need_flush(mm, addr, ptep, old, huge);
      
      And this directly affects the page size we pass to flush_hash_page():
      
      	flush_hash_page(vaddr, rpte, psize, ssize, 0);
      
      As this changes the way the hash is calculated we will flush the wrong
      pages, potentially leaving live hashes to the original page.
      
      Move the definition of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() to the 32/64 bit specific
      headers.
