Moved phys_addr_t out of mmu-*.h and into asm/types.h so we can use it in places that before would have caused recursive includes. For example to use phys_addr_t in <asm/page.h> we would have included <asm/mmu.h> which would have possibly included <asm/mmu-hash64.h> which includes <asm/page.h>. Wheeee recursive include. CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is a bit counterintuitive in light of ppc64 systems and thus the config option is only used for ppc32 systems with >32-bit physical addresses (44x, 85xx, 745x, etc.).

Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and the normal system calls for controlling page protections. Of course, the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty slow. This provides a facility for such programs to control the access permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages. The idea is that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a specified range of virtual addresses. These masks are applied at the level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected. Note that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be allowed. This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages. The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array of protection masks in memory. The array has a 32-bit word per 64k page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields, for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access. Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support). In fact the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future to switch only the affected segments. The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the page table tree. The top level of this tree is stored in a structure that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the pgd array. Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB) that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those for higher addresses.

Commit 473980a9 added a call to clear the SLB shadow buffer before registering it. Unfortunately this means that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in there. On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch, each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data, which causes it to crash. This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the 3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize. This fixes the problem that 473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

Before we register the SLB shadow buffer, we need to invalidate the entries in the buffer, otherwise we can end up stale entries from when we previously offlined the CPU. This does this invalidate as well as unregistering the buffer with PHYP before we offline the cpu. Tested and fixes crashes seen on 970MP (thanks to tonyb) and POWER5.

Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB entries. This uses this property instead of assuming 64. If no property is found, we assume 64 entries as before. This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance at all.

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.

On Power machines supporting VRMA, Kexec/Kdump does not work. VRMA (virtual real-mode area) means that accesses with IR/DR = 0 (i.e. the MMU "off") actually still go through the hash table, using entries put there by the hypervisor. This means that when we clear out the hash table on kexec, we need to make sure these entries are left untouched. This also adds plpar_pte_read_raw() on the lines of plpar_pte_remove_raw().

Using typedefs to rename structure types if frowned on by CodingStyle. However, we do so for the hash PTE structure on both ppc32 (where it's called "PTE") and ppc64 (where it's called "hpte_t"). On ppc32 we also have such a typedef for the BATs ("BAT").

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.

Currently asm-powerpc/mmu.h has definitions for the 64-bit hash based MMU. If CONFIG_PPC64 is not set, it instead includes asm-ppc/mmu.h which contains a particularly horrible mess of #ifdefs giving the definitions for all the various 32-bit MMUs. It would be nice to have the low level definitions for each MMU type neatly in their own separate files. It would also be good to wean arch/powerpc off dependence on the old asm-ppc/mmu.h. This patch makes a start on such a cleanup by moving the definitions for the 64-bit hash MMU to their own file, asm-powerpc/mmu_hash64.h. Definitions for the other MMUs still all come from asm-ppc/mmu.h, however each MMU type can now be one-by-one moved over to their own file, in the process cleaning them up stripping them of cruft no longer necessary in arch/powerpc.

Until now, we have always entered the spu page fault handler with a mutex for the spu context held. This has multiple bad side-effects: - it becomes impossible to suspend the context during page faults - if an spu program attempts to access its own mmio areas through DMA, we get an immediate livelock when the nopage function tries to acquire the same mutex This patch makes the page fault logic operate on a struct spu_context instead of a struct spu, and moves it from spu_base.c to a new file fault.c inside of spufs. We now also need to copy the dar and dsisr contents of the last fault into the saved context to have it accessible in case we schedule out the context before activating the page fault handler.

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.

Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue, might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV) as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back happens. Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately. This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

Parsing addresses extracted from Open Firmware isn't a simple matter. We have various bits of code that try to do it in various place, including some heuristics in prom.c that pre-parse addresses at boot and fill device-nodes "addrs", but those are dodgy at best and I want to deprecate them. So this patch introduces a new set of routines that should be capable of parsing most types of addresses and translating them into CPU physical addresses. It currently works for things on PCI busses and ISA busses and should work on "standard" busses like the root bus or the MacIO bus that don't put funky flags in addresses. If you have other bus types that do use funky flags, you'll have to add new bus type translators, which is fairly easy.

On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5.

This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for compatibility across different CPUs or configs. A new header, asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros. It uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files. Headers (bitops.h, uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility macros are changed to use asm-compat.h. ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces that. As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution here than in asm-compat.h.

early_setup() calls htab_initialize() which is similar, but not identical to iSeries_bolt_kernel(). On iSeries the Hypervisor has already inserted some ptes for us, and we simply have to detect that and bolt them. iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert() implements that logic. For the case of a non-existing pte we just call iSeries_hpte_insert(). This appears to work, although it's not entirely equivalent to the old code in iSeries_make_pte() which panicked if we got a secondary slot. Not sure if that's important.

So to avoid flushing kernel ERAT entries on each context switch, this patch inverts our usage of the class bit, setting it on user SLB entries and clearing it on kernel SLB entries. Booted on POWER5 and G5. Signed-off-by: NDavid Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Paulus, I think this is now a reasonable candidate for the post-2.6.13 queue. Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64 Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the address region from 1-1.5T. Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages in this area. This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity. That is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of the process's lifetime. This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB (mmu segment) granularity. This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).

On ppc64 machines with segment tables, CPU0's segment table is at a fixed address, currently 0x9000. This patch moves it to the free space at 0x6000, just below the fwnmi data area. This saves 8k of space in vmlinux and the runtime kernel image. Signed-off-by: NDavid Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64 This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T). The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level, and a quarter page for the intermediate levels. It uses full 64-bit pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of physical memory. This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.
