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: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/19/20Signed-off-by: NYuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: NIlya Yanok <yanok@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: NJosh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This adds support for 16k and 64k page sizes on PowerPC 44x processors. The PGDIR table is much smaller than a page when using 16k or 64k pages (512 and 32 bytes respectively) so we allocate the PGDIR with kzalloc() instead of __get_free_pages(). One PTE table covers rather a large memory area when using 16k or 64k pages (32MB or 512MB respectively), so we can easily put FIXMAP and PKMAP in the area covered by one PTE table.

This commit moves the whole no-hash TLB handling out of line into a new tlb_nohash.c file, and implements some basic SMP support using IPIs and/or broadcast tlbivax instructions. Note that I'm using local invalidations for D->I cache coherency. At worst, if another processor is trying to execute the same and has the old entry in its TLB, it will just take a fault and re-do the TLB flush locally (it won't re-do the cache flush in any case).

The tlb invalidates in kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic can be called from IRQ context, however they are only local invalidates (on the processor that the kmap was called on). In the future we want to use IPIs to do tlb invalidates this causes issue since flush_tlb_page() is considered a broadcast invalidate. Add local_flush_tlb_page() as a non-broadcast invalidate and use it in kmap_atomic() since we don't have enough information in the flush_tlb_page() call to determine its local.

There are some minor issues with support 64-bit PTEs on a 32-bit processor when dealing with SMP. * We need to order the stores in set_pte_at to make sure the flag word is set second. * Change pte_clear to use pte_update so only the flag word is cleared * Added a WARN_ON to set_pte_at to ensure the pte isn't present for the 64-bit pte/SMP case (to ensure our assumption of this fact).

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: NStephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

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.

To build arch/powerpc without including asm-ppc/ we need these files in asm-powerpc/ Moved some headers under arch/powerpc/platforms if they were only used by platform or driver files and fixed up the source file includes to match the new locations Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

Introduce pagefault_{disable,enable}() and use these where previously we did manual preempt increments/decrements to make the pagefault handler do the atomic thing. Currently they still rely on the increased preempt count, but do not rely on the disabled preemption, this might go away in the future. (NOTE: the extra barrier() in pagefault_disable might fix some holes on machines which have too many registers for their own good) [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: s390 fix] Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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!
