      mm: introduce pte_special pte bit · 7e675137
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
      model (which is more dynamic than most).  Instead, they had proposed to
      implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
      the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:
      
      vm_normal_page()
      {
      	...
              if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
                      if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
      #ifdef s390
      			if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
      				return NULL;
      #else
                              if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
                                      return NULL;
      #endif
                              goto out;
                      }
      	...
      }
      
      This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
      refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
      schemes.  So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
      scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
      slightly better code generation in the process):
      
      vm_normal_page()
      {
      #ifdef s390
      	if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
      		return NULL;
      	return pte_page(pte);
      #else
      	...
      #endif
      }
      
      And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
      than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
      Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
      not be able to spare pte bits.  This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
      ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.
      
      So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c.  It is
      currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
      compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.
      
      BTW:
      I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
      The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
      implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
      depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
      only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
      the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
      accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
      not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
      we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
      out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
      we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
      don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
      while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
      mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

      [ARM] Unuse another Linux PTE bit · ad1ae2fe
      Russell King 提交于
      L_PTE_ASID is not really required to be stored in every PTE, since we
      can identify it via the address passed to set_pte_at().  So, create
      set_pte_ext() which takes the address of the PTE to set, the Linux
      PTE value, and the additional CPU PTE bits which aren't encoded in
      the Linux PTE value.

      [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros · 46a82b2d
      Dave McCracken 提交于
      One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
      pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
      page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
      have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
      other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
      
      Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
      structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
      simple to standardize their usage.
      
      Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
      patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
      pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

      [ARM] nommu: adjust headers for !MMU ARM systems · 002547b4
      Russell King 提交于
      Majorily based on Hyok Choi's patches, this fixes up the asm-arm
      header files for mmuless systems.  Over and above Hyok's patches:
      
      - nommu.h merged into mmu.h (it's only a structure)
      - nommu_context.h is essentially the same as mmu_context.h, but
        without the MM switching code.
      
      so there's no point having separate files.  Also, in memory.h,
      there's no point #ifndef'ing PHYS_OFFSET and END_MEM - both
      CONFIG_DRAM_BASE and CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE will always be set by the
      configuration scripts.
      
      Other files have minor formatting changes, but are essentially
      the same.  Hyok's original patches were signed off thusly:

      [ARM] 3439/2: xsc3: add I/O coherency support · 23759dc6
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
      
      This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the
      xsc3.  The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the
      chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then
      setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits.  In addition,
      we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls.
      A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related
      code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems.
      
      Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine()
      function as that still requires a special PTE setting.  We also don't
      touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by
      definition only used on non-coherent system.

      [PATCH] vm: remove unused/broken page_pte[_prot] macros · 1426d7a8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch removes page_pte_prot and page_pte macros from all
      architectures.  Some architectures define both, some only page_pte (broken)
      and others none.  These macros are not used anywhere.
      
      page_pte_prot(page, prot) is identical to mk_pte(page, prot) and
      page_pte(page) is identical to page_pte_prot(page, __pgprot(0)).
      
      * The following architectures define both page_pte_prot and page_pte
      
        arm, arm26, ia64, sh64, sparc, sparc64
      
      * The following architectures define only page_pte (broken)
      
        frv, i386, m32r, mips, sh, x86-64
      
      * All other architectures define neither

      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!
