On the 8xx, the minimum slice size is the size of the area covered by a single PMD entry, ie 4M in 4K pages mode and 64M in 16K pages mode. This patch increases the number of slices from 16 to 64 on the 8xx. Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

In preparation for the following patch which will fix an issue on the 8xx by re-using the 'slices', this patch enhances the 'slices' implementation to support 32 bits CPUs. On PPC32, the address space is limited to 4Gbytes, hence only the low slices will be used. The high slices use bitmaps. As bitmap functions are not prepared to handle bitmaps of size 0, this patch ensures that bitmap functions are called only when SLICE_NUM_HIGH is not nul.

To support memory keys, we moved the hash pte slot information to the second half of the page table. This was ok with PTE entries at level 4 (PTE page) and level 3 (PMD). We already allocate larger page table pages at those levels to accomodate extra details. For level 4 we already have the extra space which was used to track 4k hash page table entry details and at level 3 the extra space was allocated to track the THP details. With hugetlbfs PTE, we used this extra space at the PMD level to store the slot details. But we also support hugetlbfs PTE at PUD level for 16GB pages and PUD level page didn't allocate extra space. This resulted in memory corruption. Fix this by allocating extra space at PUD level when HUGETLB is enabled.

As Linux kernel separates KERNEL and USER address spaces, there is therefore no need to flag USER access at page level. Today, the 8xx TLB handlers already handle user access in the L1 entry through Access Protection Groups, it is then natural to move the user access handling at PMD level once _PAGE_NA allows to handle PAGE_NONE protection without _PAGE_USER In the mean time, as we free up one bit in the PTE, we can use it to include SPS (page size flag) in the PTE and avoid handling it at every TLB miss hence removing special handling based on compiled page size. For _PAGE_EXEC, we rework it to use PP PTE bits, avoiding the copy of _PAGE_EXEC bit into the L1 entry. Unfortunatly we are not able to put it at the correct location as it conflicts with NA/RO/RW bits for data entries. Upper bits of APG in L1 entry overlap with PMD base address. In order to avoid having to filter that out, we set up all groups so that upper bits can have any value.

Today, PAGE_NONE is defined as a page not having _PAGE_USER. In some circunstances, when the CPU supports it, it might be better to be able to flag a page with NO ACCESS. In a following patch, the 8xx will switch user access being flagged in the PMD, therefore it will not be possible anymore to use _PAGE_USER as a way to flag a page with no access.

pte_access_premitted get called in get_user_pages_fast path. If we have marked the pte PROT_NONE, we should not allow a read access on the address. With the current implementation we are not checking the READ and only check for WRITE. This is needed on archs like ppc64 that implement PROT_NONE using _PAGE_USER access instead of _PAGE_PRESENT. Also add pte_user check just to make sure we are not accessing kernel mapping. Even though there is code duplication, keeping the low level pte accessors different for different platforms helps in code readability.

CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 indicates support for the "standard" powerpc MMU on 64-bit CPUs. The "standard" MMU refers to the hash page table MMU found in "server" processors, from IBM mainly. Currently CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is == CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64. While it's annoying to have two symbols that always have the same value, it's not quite annoying enough to bother removing one. However with the arrival of Power9, we now have the situation where CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is enabled, but the kernel is running using the Radix MMU - *not* the "standard" MMU. So it is now actively confusing to use it, because it implies that code is disabled or inactive when the Radix MMU is in use, however that is not necessarily true. So s/CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64/CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/, and do some minor formatting updates of some of the affected lines. This will be a pain for backports, but c'est la vie.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

gup_hugepte() checks if pages are present and readable, and when 'write' is set, also checks if the pages are writable. Initially this was done by checking if _PAGE_PRESENT and _PAGE_READ were set. In addition, _PAGE_WRITE was verified for write accesses. The problem is that we have to handle the three following cases: 1/ The target defines __PAGE_READ and __PAGE_WRITE 2/ The target defines __PAGE_RW 3/ The target defines __PAGE_RO In case 1/, this is obvious In case 2/, __PAGE_READ is defined as 0 and __PAGE_WRITE as __PAGE_RW so it works as well. But in case 3, __PAGE_RW is defined as 0, which means __PAGE_WRITE is 0 and then the test returns true (page writable) in all cases. A first correction was attempted in commit 6b8cb66a ("powerpc: Fix usage of _PAGE_RO in hugepage"), but that fix is wrong: instead of checking that the page is writable when write is requested, it checks that the page is NOT writable when write is NOT requested. This patch adds a new pte_read() helper to check whether a page is readable or not. This avoids handling all possible cases in gup_hugepte(). Then gup_hugepte() is modified to use pte_present(), pte_read() and pte_write() instead of the raw flags.

Introduce a helper pgtable_gfp_flags() which just returns the current gfp flags and adds __GFP_ACCOUNT to account for page table allocation. The generic helper is added to include/asm/pgalloc.h and has two variants - WARNING ugly bits ahead 1. If the header is included from a module, no check for mm == &init_mm is done, since init_mm is not exported 2. For kernel includes, the check is done and required see (3e79ec7d arch: x86: charge page tables to kmemcg) The fundamental assumption is that no module should be doing pgd/pud/pmd and pte alloc's on behalf of init_mm directly. NOTE: This adds an overhead to pmd/pud/pgd allocations similar to x86. The other alternative was to implement pmd_alloc_kernel/pud_alloc_kernel and pgd_alloc_kernel with their offset variants. For 4k page size, pte_alloc_one no longer calls pte_alloc_one_kernel. Signed-off-by: NBalbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Today powerpc64 uses a set of pgtable_caches while powerpc32 uses standard pages when using 4k pages and a single pgtable_cache if using other size pages. In preparation of implementing huge pages on the 8xx, this patch replaces the specific powerpc32 handling by the 64 bits approach. This is done by: * moving 64 bits pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init() in a new file called init-common.c * modifying pgtable_cache_init() to also handle the case without PMD * removing the 32 bits version of pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init() * copying related header contents from 64 bits into both the book3s/32 and nohash/32 header files On the 8xx, the following cache sizes will be used: * 4k pages mode: - PGT_CACHE(10) for PGD - PGT_CACHE(3) for 512k hugepage tables * 16k pages mode: - PGT_CACHE(6) for PGD - PGT_CACHE(7) for 512k hugepage tables - PGT_CACHE(3) for 8M hugepage tables Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Reviewed-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <oss@buserror.net>

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. {pud,pmd}_alloc_one are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12 size and that fits into !costly allocation request size. PGALLOC_GFP is used only in radix__pgd_alloc which uses either order-0 or order-4 requests. The first one doesn't need the flag while the second does. Drop __GFP_REPEAT from PGALLOC_GFP and add it for the order-4 one. This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

I am sending it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window hopefully. Motivation: While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is documented as * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop for ever. This is not implemented right now though. I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic for it. $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l 111 $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 36 So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later after all the simple ones are sorted out. I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from arch maintainers. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 19): __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0 allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail). Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

Commit 74701d59 "powerpc/mm: Rename function to indicate we are allocating fragments" renamed page_table_free() to pte_fragment_free(). One occurrence was mistyped as pte_fragment_fre(). This only breaks the nohash 64K page build, which is not the default or enabled in any defconfig.

This patch switches 4K Linux page size config to use pte_t * type instead of struct page * for pgtable_t. This simplifies the code a lot and helps in consolidating both 64K and 4K page allocator routines. The changes should not have any impact, because we already store physical address in the upper level page table tree and that implies we already do struct page * to physical address conversion. One change to note here is we move the pgtable_page_dtor() call for nohash to pte_fragment_free_mm(). The nohash related change is due to the related changes in pgtable_64.c.

This reverts pgalloc related changes WRT implementing 4-level page table for 64K Linux page size and storing of physical address in higher level page tables since they are only applicable to book3s64 variant and we now have a separate copy for book3s64. This helps to keep these headers simpler.

This changes the Linux page tables to store physical addresses rather than kernel virtual addresses in the upper levels of the tree (pgd, pud and pmd) for 64-bit Book 3S machines. This also changes the hugepd pointers used to implement hugepages when the base page size is 4k to store physical addresses rather than virtual addresses (again just for 64-bit Book3S machines). This frees up some high order bits, and will be needed with PowerISA v3.0 machines which read the page table tree in hardware in radix mode.
