      powerpc/44x: Support for 256KB PAGE_SIZE · e1240122
      Yuri Tikhonov 提交于
      This patch adds support for 256KB pages on ppc44x-based boards.
      
      For simplification of implementation with 256KB pages we still assume
      2-level paging. As a side effect this leads to wasting extra memory space
      reserved for PTE tables: only 1/4 of pages allocated for PTEs are
      actually used. But this may be an acceptable trade-off to achieve the
      high performance we have with big PAGE_SIZEs in some applications (e.g.
      RAID).
      
      Also with 256KB PAGE_SIZE we increase THREAD_SIZE up to 32KB to minimize
      the risk of stack overflows in the cases of on-stack arrays, which size
      depends on the page size (e.g. multipage BIOs, NTFS, etc.).
      
      With 256KB PAGE_SIZE we need to decrease the PKMAP_ORDER at least down
      to 9, otherwise all high memory (2 ^ 10 * PAGE_SIZE == 256MB) we'll be
      occupied by PKMAP addresses leaving no place for vmalloc. We do not
      separate PKMAP_ORDER for 256K from 16K/64K PAGE_SIZE here; actually that
      value of 10 in support for 16K/64K had been selected rather intuitively.
      Thus now for all cases of PAGE_SIZE on ppc44x (including the default, 4KB,
      one) we have 512 pages for PKMAP.
      
      Because ELF standard supports only page sizes up to 64K, then you should
      use binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with '-zmax-page-size' set to 256K
      for building applications, which are to be run with the 256KB-page sized
      kernel. If using the older binutils, then you should patch them like follows:
      
      	--- binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c.orig
      	+++ binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c
      
      	-#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE                0x10000
      	+#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE                0x40000
      
      One more restriction we currently have with 256KB page sizes is inability
      to use shmem safely, so, for now, the 256KB is available only if you turn
      the CONFIG_SHMEM option off (another variant is to use BROKEN).
      Though, if you need shmem with 256KB pages, you can always remove the !SHMEM
      dependency in 'config PPC_256K_PAGES', and use the workaround available here:

      [POWERPC] Port fixmap from x86 and use for kmap_atomic · 2c419bde
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      The fixmap code from x86 allows us to have compile time virtual addresses
      that we change the physical addresses of at run time.
      
      This is useful for applications like kmap_atomic, PCI config that is done
      via direct memory map, kexec/kdump.
      
      We got ride of CONFIG_HIGHMEM_START as we can now determine a more optimal
      location for PKMAP_BASE based on where the fixmap addresses start and
      working back from there.
      
      Additionally, the kmap code in asm-powerpc/highmem.h always had debug
      enabled.  Moved to using CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM to determine if we should
      have the extra debug checking.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
