      powerpc/mm: Rework & cleanup page table freeing code path · c7cc58a1
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      That patch used to just add a hook to page table flushing but
      pulling that string brought out a whole bunch of issues, so it
      now does that and more:
      
       - We now make the RCU batching of page freeing SMP only, as I
      believe it was intended initially. We make a few more things compile
      to nothing on !CONFIG_SMP
      
       - Some macros are turned into functions, though that forced me to
      out of line a few stuffs due to unsolvable include depenencies,
      however it's probably better that way anyway, it's not -that-
      critical code path.
      
       - 32-bit didn't call pte_free_finish() on tlb_flush() which means
      that it wouldn't push out the batch to RCU for delayed freeing when
      a bunch of page tables have been freed, they would just stay in there
      until the batch gets full.
      
      64-bit BookE will use that hook to maintain the virtually linear
      page tables or the indirect entries in the TLB when using the
      HW loader.

      powerpc: Do not assert pte_locked for hugepage PTE entries · af3e4aca
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, an assertion is made when changing the protection
      flags of a PTE that the PTE is locked. Huge pages use a different pagetable
      format and the assertion is bogus and will always trigger with a bug looking
      something like

      powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3) · 8d30c14c
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC.
      
      The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type:
      
         - Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it
      at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages
      on exec faults.
      
         - Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and
      64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache().
      
         - Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on
      exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does.
      
      That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache()
      is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before
      we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but
      I think it has bitten us in the past.
      
      Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least
      one more page fault.
      
      This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites,
      though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call
      sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags()
      which joins the former in pgtable.c
      
      The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the
      flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us
      to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation
      more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later).
      
      If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit
      the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags()
      to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make
      this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path
      is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time.
      
      For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(),
      thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache
      is clean.
      
      For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism
      for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we
      use _PAGE_EXEC.
      
      This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms

      powerpc: Merge lmb.c and make MM initialization use it. · 7c8c6b97
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This also creates merged versions of do_init_bootmem, paging_init
      and mem_init and moves them to arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c.  It gets rid
      of the mem_pieces stuff.
      
      I made memory_limit a parameter to lmb_enforce_memory_limit rather
      than a global referenced by that function.  This will require some
      small changes to ppc64 if we want to continue building ARCH=ppc64
      using the merged lmb.c.

      powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc. · 14cf11af
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
      of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
      arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
      to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
      
      For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
      arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
      to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
      
      The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.

      [PATCH] ppc32: make usage of CONFIG_PTE_64BIT & CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT consistent · a85f6d4a
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      CONFIG_PTE_64BIT & CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT are not currently consistently used in
      the code base.  Fixed up the usage such that CONFIG_PTE_64BIT is used when we
      have a 64-bit PTE regardless of physical address width.  CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is
      used if the physical address width is larger than 32-bits, regardless of PTE
      size.
      
      These changes required a few sub-arch specific ifdef's to be fixed and the
      introduction of a physical address format string.

      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.
