      arm64: percpu: Implement this_cpu operations · f97fc810
      Steve Capper 提交于
      The generic this_cpu operations disable interrupts to ensure that the
      requested operation is protected from pre-emption. For arm64, this is
      overkill and can hurt throughput and latency.
      
      This patch provides arm64 specific implementations for the this_cpu
      operations. Rather than disable interrupts, we use the exclusive
      monitor or atomic operations as appropriate.
      
      The following operations are implemented: add, add_return, and, or,
      read, write, xchg. We also wire up a cmpxchg implementation from
      cmpxchg.h.
      
      Testing was performed using the percpu_test module and hackbench on a
      Juno board running 3.18-rc4.

      arm64: pgalloc: consistently use PGALLOC_GFP · 15670ef1
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      We currently allocate different levels of page tables with a variety of
      differing flags, and the PGALLOC_GFP flags, intended for use when
      allocating any level of page table, are only used for ptes in
      pte_alloc_one. On x86, PGALLOC_GFP is used for all page table
      allocations.
      
      Currently the major differences are:
      
      * __GFP_NOTRACK -- Needed to ensure page tables are always accessible in
        the presence of kmemcheck to prevent recursive faults. Currently
        kmemcheck cannot be selected for arm64.
      
      * __GFP_REPEAT -- Causes the allocator to try to reclaim pages and retry
        upon a failure to allocate.
      
      * __GFP_ZERO -- Sometimes passed explicitly, sometimes zalloc variants
        are used.
      
      While we've no encountered issues so far, it would be preferable to be
      consistent. This patch ensures all levels of table are allocated in the
      same manner, with PGALLOC_GFP.

      arm64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize layout · d6c763af
      Yann Droneaud 提交于
      Since commit 8a0a9bd4 ('random: make get_random_int() more
      random'), get_random_int() returns a random value for each call,
      so comment and hack introduced in mmap_rnd() as part of commit
      1d18c47c ('arm64: MMU fault handling and page table management')
      are incorrects.
      
      Commit 1d18c47c seems to use the same hack introduced by
      commit a5adc91a ('powerpc: Ensure random space between stack
      and mmaps'), latter copied in commit 5a0efea0 ('sparc64: Sharpen
      address space randomization calculations.').
      
      But both architectures were cleaned up as part of commit
      fa8cbaaf ('powerpc+sparc64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize
      layout') as hack is no more needed since commit 8a0a9bd4.
      
      So the present patch removes the comment and the hack around
      get_random_int() on AArch64's mmap_rnd().

      mmu_gather: move minimal range calculations into generic code · fb7332a9
      Will Deacon 提交于
      On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages
      , it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when
      unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to
      tlb_remove_tlb_entry.
      
      arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields
      of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which
      does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating
      invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range.
      
      This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code
      and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the
      process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will
      point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked
      by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that
      the end of the range has actually been set.

      arm64: entry: use ldp/stp instead of push/pop when saving/restoring regs · 63648dd2
      Will Deacon 提交于
      The push/pop instructions can be suboptimal when saving/restoring large
      amounts of data to/from the stack, for example on entry/exit from the
      kernel. This is because:
      
        (1) They act on descending addresses (i.e. the newly decremented sp),
            which may defeat some hardware prefetchers
      
        (2) They introduce an implicit dependency between each instruction, as
            the sp has to be updated in order to resolve the address of the
            next access.
      
      This patch removes the push/pop instructions from our kernel entry/exit
      macros in favour of ldp/stp plus offset.

      arm64: Fix up /proc/cpuinfo · 44b82b77
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      Commit d7a49086 (arm64: cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs)
      attempted to clean up /proc/cpuinfo, but due to concerns regarding
      further changes was reverted in commit 5e39977e (Revert "arm64:
      cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs").
      
      There are two major issues with the arm64 /proc/cpuinfo format
      currently:
      
      * The "Features" line describes (only) the 64-bit hwcaps, which is
        problematic for some 32-bit applications which attempt to parse it. As
        the same names are used for analogous ISA features (e.g. aes) despite
        these generally being architecturally unrelated, it is not possible to
        simply append the 64-bit and 32-bit hwcaps in a manner that might not
        be misleading to some applications.
      
        Various potential solutions have appeared in vendor kernels. Typically
        the format of the Features line varies depending on whether the task
        is 32-bit.
      
      * Information is only printed regarding a single CPU. This does not
        match the ARM format, and does not provide sufficient information in
        big.LITTLE systems where CPUs are heterogeneous. The CPU information
        printed is queried from the current CPU's registers, which is racy
        w.r.t. cross-cpu migration.
      
      This patch attempts to solve these issues. The following changes are
      made:
      
      * When a task with a LINUX32 personality attempts to read /proc/cpuinfo,
        the "Features" line contains the decoded 32-bit hwcaps, as with the
        arm port. Otherwise, the decoded 64-bit hwcaps are shown. This aligns
        with the behaviour of COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE and COMPAT_ELF_PLATFORM. In
        the absense of compat support, the Features line is empty.
      
        The set of hwcaps injected into a task's auxval are unaffected.
      
      * Properties are printed per-cpu, as with the ARM port. The per-cpu
        information is queried from pre-recorded cpu information (as used by
        the sanity checks).
      
      * As with the previous attempt at fixing up /proc/cpuinfo, the hardware
        field is removed. The only users so far are 32-bit applications tied
        to particular boards, so no portable applications should be affected,
        and this should prevent future tying to particular boards.
      
      The following differences remain:
      
      * No model_name is printed, as this cannot be queried from the hardware
        and cannot be provided in a stable fashion. Use of the CPU
        {implementor,variant,part,revision} fields is sufficient to identify a
        CPU and is portable across arm and arm64.
      
      * The following system-wide properties are not provided, as they are not
        possible to provide generally. Programs relying on these are already
        tied to particular (32-bit only) boards:
        - Hardware
        - Revision
        - Serial
      
      No software has yet been identified for which these remaining
      differences are problematic.
