Our PV guest patching code assembles chunks of instructions on the fly when it encounters more complicated instructions to hijack. These instructions need to live in a section that we don't mark as non-executable, as otherwise we fault when jumping there. Right now we put it into the .bss section where it automatically gets marked as non-executable. Add a check to the NX setting function to ensure that we leave these particular pages executable.

On p8 systems, with relocation on exception feature enabled we are seeing kdump kernel hang at interrupt vector 0xc*4400. The reason is, with this feature enabled, exception are raised with MMU (IR=DR=1) ON with the default offset of 0xc*4000. Since exception is raised in virtual mode it requires the vector region to be executable without which it fails to fetch and execute instruction at 0xc*4xxx. For default kernel since kernel is loaded at real 0, the htab mappings sets the entire kernel text region executable. But for relocatable kernel (e.g. kdump case) we only copy interrupt vectors down to real 0 and never marked that region as executable because in p7 and below we always get exception in real mode. This patch fixes this issue by marking htab mapping range as executable that overlaps with the interrupt vector region for relocatable kernel. Thanks to Ben who helped me to debug this issue and find the root cause.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros. There are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.

We need to have irqs disabled to handle all the possible parallel update for linux page table without holding locks. Events that we are intersted in while walking page tables are 1) Page fault 2) umap 3) THP split 4) THP collapse A) local_irq_disabled: ------------------------ 1) page fault: A none to valid transition via page fault is not an issue because we would either see a none or valid. If it is none, we would error out the page table walk. We may need to use on stack values when checking for type of page table elements, because if we do if (!is_hugepd()) { if (!pmd_none() { if (pmd_bad() { We could take that bad condition because the pmd got converted to a hugepd after the !is_hugepd check via a hugetlb fault. The right way would be to check for pmd_none higher up or use on stack value. 2) A valid to none conversion via unmap: We can safely walk the upper level table, because we don't remove the the page table entries until rcu grace period. So even if we followed a wrong pointer we still have the pointer valid till the grace period. A PTE pointer returned need to be atomically checked for _PAGE_PRESENT and _PAGE_BUSY. A valid pointer returned could becoming none later. To prevent pte_clear we take _PAGE_BUSY. 3) THP split: A valid transparent hugepage is converted to nomal page. Before we split we do pmd_splitting_flush, which sets the hugepage PTE to _PAGE_SPLITTING So when walking page table we need to check for pmd_trans_splitting and handle that. The pte returned should also need to be checked for _PAGE_SPLITTING before setting _PAGE_BUSY similar to _PAGE_PRESENT. We save the value of PTE on stack and check for the flag in the local pte value. If we don't have the value set we can safely operate on the local pte value and we atomicaly set _PAGE_BUSY. 4) THP collapse: A normal page gets converted to hugepage. In the collapse path, we mark the pmd none early (pmdp_clear_flush). With irq disabled, if we are aleady walking page table we would see the pmd_none and won't continue. If we see a valid PMD, we should still check for _PAGE_PRESENT before setting _PAGE_BUSY, to make sure we didn't collapse the PTE to a Huge PTE.

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it. When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid we should do a tlb invalidate. With hugepages, we need to pass the correct actual page size value for tlb invalidation. This change update the patch 0608d692 "powerpc/mm: Always invalidate tlb on hpte invalidate and update" to handle transparent hugepages correctly.

Proto-VSIDs are generated from mmu context id and effective segment id of the address.

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.

The change wasn't noticed at compile time since hashpage_preload() used a void* as the parameter to subpage_protection(). This is obviously wrong and can trigger the following crash when CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT are enabled.

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes) and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode (aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing. We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE). The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere. It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears. Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time results in something that is accessible with a simple __va(). The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will honor the current limit when performing those allocations. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This adds some debug output to our MMU hash code to print out some useful debug data if the hypervisor refuses the insertion (which should normally never happen). Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> ---
