We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before getting into the debugger. We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could be unexpected. This changes our code to behave more like other architectures, and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it. While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86. Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> --- v2. Add the r12 clobber fix

There is a race where a thread causes a coprocessor type to be valid in its own ACOP _and_ in the current context, but it does not propagate to the ACOP register of other threads in time for them to use it. The original code tries to solve this by sending an IPI to all threads on the system, which is heavy handed, but unfortunately still provides a window where the icswx is issued by other threads and the ACOP is not up to date. This patch detects that the ACOP DSI fault was a "false positive" and syncs the ACOP and causes the icswx to be replayed.

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are implemented as subsystem interfaces now. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

We find the runtime address of _stext and relocate ourselves based on the following calculation. virtual_base = ALIGN(KERNELBASE,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE) + MODULO(_stext.run,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE) relocate() is called with the Effective Virtual Base Address (as shown below) | Phys. Addr| Virt. Addr | Page |------------------------| Boundary | | | | | | | | | Kernel Load |___________|_ __ _ _ _ _|<- Effective Addr(_stext)| | ^ |Virt. Base Addr | | | | | | | | | |reloc_offset| | | | | | | | | | |______v_____|<-(KERNELBASE)%TLB_SIZE | | | | | | | | | Page |-----------|------------| Boundary | | | On BookE, we need __va() & __pa() early in the boot process to access the device tree. Currently this has been defined as : #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) - PHYSICAL_START + KERNELBASE) where: PHYSICAL_START is kernstart_addr - a variable updated at runtime. KERNELBASE is the compile time Virtual base address of kernel. This won't work for us, as kernstart_addr is dynamic and will yield different results for __va()/__pa() for same mapping. e.g., Let the kernel be loaded at 64MB and KERNELBASE be 0xc0000000 (same as PAGE_OFFSET). In this case, we would be mapping 0 to 0xc0000000, and kernstart_addr = 64M Now __va(1MB) = (0x100000) - (0x4000000) + 0xc0000000 = 0xbc100000 , which is wrong. it should be : 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000 On platforms which support AMP, like PPC_47x (based on 44x), the kernel could be loaded at highmem. Hence we cannot always depend on the compile time constants for mapping. Here are the possible solutions: 1) Update kernstart_addr(PHSYICAL_START) to match the Physical address of compile time KERNELBASE value, instead of the actual Physical_Address(_stext). The disadvantage is that we may break other users of PHYSICAL_START. They could be replaced with __pa(_stext). 2) Redefine __va() & __pa() with relocation offset #ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) - PHYSICAL_START + (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET))) #define __pa(x) ((unsigned long)(x) + PHYSICAL_START - (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET)) #endif where, RELOC_OFFSET could be a) A variable, say relocation_offset (like kernstart_addr), updated at boot time. This impacts performance, as we have to load an additional variable from memory. OR b) #define RELOC_OFFSET ((PHYSICAL_START & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK) - \ (KERNELBASE & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK)) This introduces more calculations for doing the translation. 3) Redefine __va() & __pa() with a new variable i.e, #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) + VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET)) where VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET : #ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 #define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET virt_phys_offset #else #define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET (KERNELBASE - PHYSICAL_START) #endif /* CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 */ where virt_phy_offset is updated at runtime to : Effective KERNELBASE - kernstart_addr. Taking our example, above: virt_phys_offset = effective_kernelstart_vaddr - kernstart_addr = 0xc0400000 - 0x400000 = 0xc0000000 and __va(0x100000) = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000 which is what we want. I have implemented (3) in the following patch which has same cost of operation as the existing one. I have tested the patches on 440x platforms only. However this should work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if somebody could test this on 47x. Signed-off-by: NSuzuki K.

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method. The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series. This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with smaller TLB size). Changes since v3: * Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer) Suggested-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Tested-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NSuzuki K.

This patch adds a fault handler that responds to illegal Coprocessor types. Currently all CTs are treated and illegal. There are two ways to report the fault back to the application. If the application used the record form ("icswx.") then the architected "reject" is emulated. If the application did not used the record form ("icswx") then it is selectable by config whether the failure is silent (as architected) or a SIGILL is generated. In all cases pr_warn() is used to log the bad CT. Signed-off-by: NJimi Xenidis <jimix@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

"page" may have changed to point to the next hugepage after the loop completed, The references have been taken on the head page, so the put_page must happen there too. This is a longstanding issue pre-thp inclusion. It's totally unclear how these page_cache_add_speculative and pte_val(pte) != pte_val(*ptep) checks are necessary across all the powerpc gup_fast code, when x86 doesn't need any of that: there's no way the page can be freed with irq disabled so we're guaranteed the atomic_inc will happen on a page with page_count > 0 (so not needing the speculative check). The pte check is also meaningless on x86: no need to rollback on x86 if the pte changed, because the pte can still change a CPU tick after the check succeeded and it won't be rolled back in that case. The important thing is we got a reference on a valid page that was mapped there a CPU tick ago. So not knowing the soft tlb refill code of ppc64 in great detail I'm not removing the "speculative" page_count increase and the pte checks across all the code, but unless there's a strong reason for it they should be later cleaned up too. If a pte can change from huge to non-huge (like it could happen with THP) passing a pte_t *ptep to gup_hugepte() would also require to repeat the is_hugepd in gup_hugepte(), but that shouldn't happen with hugetlbfs only so I'm not altering that.

This part of gup_fast doesn't seem capable of handling hugetlbfs ptes, those should be handled by gup_hugepd only, so these checks are superfluous. Plus if this wasn't a noop, it would have oopsed because, the insistence of using the speculative refcounting would trigger a VM_BUG_ON if a tail page was encountered in the page_cache_get_speculative().

Michel while working on the working set estimation code, noticed that calling get_page_unless_zero() on a random pfn_to_page(random_pfn) wasn't safe, if the pfn ended up being a tail page of a transparent hugepage under splitting by __split_huge_page_refcount(). He then found the problem could also theoretically materialize with page_cache_get_speculative() during the speculative radix tree lookups that uses get_page_unless_zero() in SMP if the radix tree page is freed and reallocated and get_user_pages is called on it before page_cache_get_speculative has a chance to call get_page_unless_zero(). So the best way to fix the problem is to keep page_tail->_count zero at all times. This will guarantee that get_page_unless_zero() can never succeed on any tail page. page_tail->_mapcount is guaranteed zero and is unused for all tail pages of a compound page, so we can simply account the tail page references there and transfer them to tail_page->_count in __split_huge_page_refcount() (in addition to the head_page->_mapcount). While debugging this s/_count/_mapcount/ change I also noticed get_page is called by direct-io.c on pages returned by get_user_pages. That wasn't entirely safe because the two atomic_inc in get_page weren't atomic. As opposed to other get_user_page users like secondary-MMU page fault to establish the shadow pagetables would never call any superflous get_page after get_user_page returns. It's safer to make get_page universally safe for tail pages and to use get_page_foll() within follow_page (inside get_user_pages()). get_page_foll() is safe to do the refcounting for tail pages without taking any locks because it is run within PT lock protected critical sections (PT lock for pte and page_table_lock for pmd_trans_huge). The standard get_page() as invoked by direct-io instead will now take the compound_lock but still only for tail pages. The direct-io paths are usually I/O bound and the compound_lock is per THP so very finegrined, so there's no risk of scalability issues with it. A simple direct-io benchmarks with all lockdep prove locking and spinlock debugging infrastructure enabled shows identical performance and no overhead. So it's worth it. Ideally direct-io should stop calling get_page() on pages returned by get_user_pages(). The spinlock in get_page() is already optimized away for no-THP builds but doing get_page() on tail pages returned by GUP is generally a rare operation and usually only run in I/O paths. This new refcounting on page_tail->_mapcount in addition to avoiding new RCU critical sections will also allow the working set estimation code to work without any further complexity associated to the tail page refcounting with THP.

All these files were including module.h just for the basic EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure. We can shift them off to the export.h header which is a way smaller footprint and thus realize some compile time gains. Signed-off-by: NPaul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
