For addresses above 512TB we allocate additional mmu contexts. To make it all easy, addresses above 512TB are handled with IR/DR=1 and with stack frame setup. The mmu_context_t is also updated to track the new extended_ids. To support upto 4PB we need a total 8 contexts.

While the implementation of the "slices" address space allows a significant amount of high slices, it limits the number of low slices to 16 due to the use of a single u64 low_slices_psize element in struct mm_context_t 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 means we could have at least 64 slices. In order to override this limitation, this patch switches the handling of low_slices_psize to char array as done already for high_slices_psize.

On 64-bit book3s, with the hash MMU, we currently define the kernel virtual space (vmalloc, ioremap etc.), to be 16T in size. This is a leftover from pre v3.7 when our user VM was also 16T. Of that 16T we split it 50/50, with half used for PCI IO and ioremap and the other 8T for vmalloc. We never bothered to make it any bigger because 8T of vmalloc ought to be enough for anybody. But it turns out that's not true, the per cpu allocator wants large amounts of vmalloc space, not to make large allocations, but to allow a large stride between allocations, because we use pcpu_embed_first_chunk(). With a bit of juggling we can increase the entire kernel virtual space to 64T. The only real complication is the check of the address in the SLB miss handler, see the comment in the code. Although we could continue to split virtual space 50/50 as we do now, no one seems to be running out of PCI IO or ioremap space. So instead keep that as 8T, and use the remaining 56T for vmalloc. In future we should be able to increase the kernel virtual space to 512T, the code already supports that, it just needs testing on older hardware.

Currently we use the top 4 context ids (0x7fffc-0x7ffff) for the kernel. Kernel VSIDs are built using these top context values and effective the segement ID. In subsequent patches we want to increase the max effective address to 512TB. We will achieve that by increasing the effective segment IDs there by increasing virtual address range. We will be switching to a 68bit virtual address in the following patch. But platforms like Power4 and Power5 only support a 65 bit virtual address. We will handle that by limiting the context bits to 16 instead of 19 on those platforms. That means the max context id will have a different value on different platforms. So that we don't have to deal with the kernel context ids changing between different platforms, move the kernel context ids down to use context ids 1-4. We can't use segment 0 of context-id 0, because that maps to VSID 0, which we want to keep as invalid, so we avoid context-id 0 entirely. Similarly we can't use the last segment of the maximum context, so we avoid it too.

Currently, if userspace or the kernel accesses a completely bogus address, for example with any of bits 46-59 set, we first take an SLB miss interrupt, install a corresponding SLB entry with VSID 0, retry the instruction, then take a DSI/ISI interrupt because there is no HPT entry mapping the address. However, by the time of the second interrupt, the Come-From Address Register (CFAR) has been overwritten by the rfid instruction at the end of the SLB miss interrupt handler. Since bogus accesses can often be caused by a function return after the stack has been overwritten, the CFAR value would be very useful as it could indicate which function it was whose return had led to the bogus address. This patch adds code to create a full exception frame in the SLB miss handler in the case of a bogus address, rather than inserting an SLB entry with a zero VSID field. Then we call a new slb_miss_bad_addr() function in C code, which delivers a signal for a user access or creates an oops for a kernel access. In the latter case the oops message will show the CFAR value at the time of the access. In the case of the radix MMU, a segment miss interrupt indicates an access outside the ranges mapped by the page tables. Previously this was handled by the code for an unrecoverable SLB miss (one with MSR[RI] = 0), which is not really correct. With this patch, we now handle these interrupts with slb_miss_bad_addr(), which is much more consistent.

In commit c60ac569 ("powerpc: Update kernel VSID range", 2013-03-13) we lost a check on the region number (the top four bits of the effective address) for addresses below PAGE_OFFSET. That commit replaced a check that the top 18 bits were all zero with a check that bits 46 - 59 were zero (performed for all addresses, not just user addresses). This means that userspace can access an address like 0x1000_0xxx_xxxx_xxxx and we will insert a valid SLB entry for it. The VSID used will be the same as if the top 4 bits were 0, but the page size will be some random value obtained by indexing beyond the end of the mm_ctx_high_slices_psize array in the paca. If that page size is the same as would be used for region 0, then userspace just has an alias of the region 0 space. If the page size is different, then no HPTE will be found for the access, and the process will get a SIGSEGV (since hash_page_mm() will refuse to create a HPTE for the bogus address). The access beyond the end of the mm_ctx_high_slices_psize can be at most 5.5MB past the array, and so will be in RAM somewhere. Since the access is a load performed in real mode, it won't fault or crash the kernel. At most this bug could perhaps leak a little bit of information about blocks of 32 bytes of memory located at offsets of i * 512kB past the paca->mm_ctx_high_slices_psize array, for 1 <= i <= 11.

On pSeries, we always force the IO space to be mapped using 4K pages even with a 64K base page size to cope with some limitations in the HV interface to some devices. However, the SLB miss handler code to discriminate between vmalloc and ioremap space uses a CPU feature section such that the code is nop'ed out when the processor support large pages non-cachable mappings. Thus, we end up always using the ioremap page size for vmalloc segments on such processors, causing a discrepency between the segment and the hash table, and thus a hang continously hashing the page. It works for the first segment of the vmalloc space since that segment is "bolted" in by C code correctly, and thankfully we almost never use the vmalloc space beyond the first segment, but the new percpu code made the bug happen. This fixes it by removing the feature section from the assembly, we now always do the comparison between vmalloc and ioremap.

This changes vmemmap to use a different region (region 0xf) of the address space, and to configure the page size of that region dynamically at boot. The problem with the current approach of always using 16M pages is that it's not well suited to machines that have small amounts of memory such as small partitions on pseries, or PS3's. In fact, on the PS3, failure to allocate the 16M page backing vmmemmap tends to prevent hotplugging the HV's "additional" memory, thus limiting the available memory even more, from my experience down to something like 80M total, which makes it really not very useable. The logic used by my match to choose the vmemmap page size is: - If 16M pages are available and there's 1G or more RAM at boot, use that size. - Else if 64K pages are available, use that - Else use 4K pages I've tested on a POWER6 (16M pages) and on an iSeries POWER3 (4K pages) and it seems to work fine. Note that I intend to change the way we organize the kernel regions & SLBs so the actual region will change from 0xf back to something else at one point, as I simplify the SLB miss handler, but that will be for a later patch.

This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them (currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T). We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree. We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted) and is not addressed here.

The basic issue is to be able to do what hugetlbfs does but with different page sizes for some other special filesystems; more specifically, my need is: - Huge pages - SPE local store mappings using 64K pages on a 4K base page size kernel on Cell - Some special 4K segments in 64K-page kernels for mapping a dodgy type of powerpc-specific infiniband hardware that requires 4K MMU mappings for various reasons I won't explain here. The main issues are: - To maintain/keep track of the page size per "segment" (as we can only have one page size per segment on powerpc, which are 256MB divisions of the address space). - To make sure special mappings stay within their allotted "segments" (including MAP_FIXED crap) - To make sure everybody else doesn't mmap/brk/grow_stack into a "segment" that is used for a special mapping Some of the necessary mechanisms to handle that were present in the hugetlbfs code, but mostly in ways not suitable for anything else. The patch relies on some changes to the generic get_unmapped_area() that just got merged. It still hijacks hugetlb callbacks here or there as the generic code hasn't been entirely cleaned up yet but that shouldn't be a problem. So what is a slice ? Well, I re-used the mechanism used formerly by our hugetlbfs implementation which divides the address space in "meta-segments" which I called "slices". The division is done using 256MB slices below 4G, and 1T slices above. Thus the address space is divided currently into 16 "low" slices and 16 "high" slices. (Special case: high slice 0 is the area between 4G and 1T). Doing so simplifies significantly the tracking of segments and avoids having to keep track of all the 256MB segments in the address space. While I used the "concepts" of hugetlbfs, I mostly re-implemented everything in a more generic way and "ported" hugetlbfs to it. Slices can have an associated page size, which is encoded in the mmu context and used by the SLB miss handler to set the segment sizes. The hash code currently doesn't care, it has a specific check for hugepages, though I might add a mechanism to provide per-slice hash mapping functions in the future. The slice code provide a pair of "generic" get_unmapped_area() (bottomup and topdown) functions that should work with any slice size. There is some trickiness here so I would appreciate people to have a look at the implementation of these and let me know if I got something wrong.

Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but not for cache-inhibited pages. This patch lets us use 64k hardware pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y). User processes start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any non-cacheable mappings. With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for the imalloc region. If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages. I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this, though, and these machines don't have AGP. When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately. We use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages. If hash_page is trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE before inserting the 4k HPTE. The hash invalidation routines also use the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a set of 4k HPTEs to remove. With those two changes, we can tolerate a mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get removed when the address space is torn down.

This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries. This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1 gazillion for 64-bit. To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET, _not_ KERNELBASE. KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_. If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel you should subtract KERNELBASE.

This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by this patch). The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64 introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id c594adad) due to a misunderstanding of the srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual). In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for hugepages. In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB granularity). To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of 1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable them some other day). Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5 LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently. Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the information from the newer hypervisors.
