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.

pr_debug() can now result in code being generated even when DEBUG is not defined. That's not really desirable in some places.

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 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xf1a00235800006f8 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000034a80 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=32 NUMA Maple Modules linked in: dm_snapshot dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod loop evdev ext3 jbd mbcache sg sd_mod ide_pci_generic pata_amd ata_generic ipr libata tg3 libphy scsi_mod windfarm_pid windfarm_smu_sat windfarm_max6690_sensor windfarm_lm75_sensor windfarm_cpufreq_clamp windfarm_core i2c_powermac NIP: c000000000034a80 LR: c000000000034b18 CTR: 0000000000000003 REGS: c000000003037600 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (2.6.30-rc3-autokern1) MSR: 9000000000009032 <EE,ME,IR,DR> CR: 28002484 XER: 200fffff DAR: f1a00235800006f8, DSISR: 0000000040010000 TASK = c0000002e54cc740[2960] 'map_high_trunca' THREAD: c000000003034000 CPU: 2 GPR00: 4000000000000000 c000000003037880 c000000000895d30 c0000002e5a2e500 GPR04: 00000000a0000000 c0000002edc40880 0000005700000393 0000000000000001 GPR08: f000000011ac0000 01a00235800006e8 00000000000000f5 f1a00235800006e8 GPR12: 0000000028000484 c0000000008dd780 0000000000001000 0000000000000000 GPR16: fffffffffffff000 0000000000000000 00000000a0000000 c000000003037a20 GPR20: c0000002e5f4ece8 0000000000001000 c0000002edc40880 0000000000000000 GPR24: c0000002e5f4ece8 0000000000000000 00000000a0000000 c0000002e5f4ece8 GPR28: 0000005700000393 c0000002e5a2e500 00000000a0000000 c000000003037880 NIP [c000000000034a80] .assert_pte_locked+0xa4/0xd0 LR [c000000000034b18] .ptep_set_access_flags+0x6c/0xb4 Call Trace: [c000000003037880] [c000000003037990] 0xc000000003037990 (unreliable) [c000000003037910] [c000000000034b18] .ptep_set_access_flags+0x6c/0xb4 [c0000000030379b0] [c00000000014bef8] .hugetlb_cow+0x124/0x674 [c000000003037b00] [c00000000014c930] .hugetlb_fault+0x4e8/0x6f8 [c000000003037c00] [c00000000013443c] .handle_mm_fault+0xac/0x828 [c000000003037cf0] [c0000000000340a8] .do_page_fault+0x39c/0x584 [c000000003037e30] [c0000000000057b0] handle_page_fault+0x20/0x5c Instruction dump: 7d29582a 7d200074 7800d182 0b000000 3c004000 3960ffff 780007c6 796b00c4 7d290214 7929a302 1d290068 7d6b4a14 <800b0010> 7c000074 7800d182 0b000000 This patch fixes the problem by not asseting the PTE is locked for VMAs backed by huge pages.

Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask. It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer (the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

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 Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

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. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

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.

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. Let it rip!
