      [IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing · 32e62c63
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:
      
        - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
          they don't appear in the EFI memory map.  This keeps X from working
          on the Intel Tiger box.
      
        - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
          /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
          access.  This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
          boxes in the default configuration.
      
      There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
      adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
      a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
      mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.
      
      Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
      according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
      map doesn't mention the region.

      [PATCH] hugepage: Move hugetlb_free_pgd_range() prototype to hugetlb.h · 3915bcf3
      David Gibson 提交于
      The optional hugepage callback, hugetlb_free_pgd_range() is presently
      implemented non-trivially only on ia64 (but I plan to add one for powerpc
      shortly).  It has its own prototype for the function in asm-ia64/pgtable.h.
       However, since the function is called from generic code, it make sense for
      its prototype to be in the generic hugetlb.h header file, as the protypes
      other arch callbacks already are (prepare_hugepage_range(),
      set_huge_pte_at(), etc.).  This patch makes it so.

      [PATCH] Enable mprotect on huge pages · 8f860591
      Zhang, Yanmin 提交于
      2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb
      mprotect.
      
      From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
      
        Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed
        range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of
        is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/).
      
        In fact, we don't need this test.  If the given addresses match the
        beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned.  If
        they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA.  The very
        first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a
        hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary.
      
      From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>
      
        On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE.  The
        identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect.
        A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc().
      
        The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up
        legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.

      [IA64] 4-level page tables · 837cd0bd
      Robin Holt 提交于
      This patch introduces 4-level page tables to ia64.  I have run
      some benchmarks and found nothing interesting.  Performance has
      consistently fallen within the noise range.
      
      It also introduces a config option (setting the default to 3
      levels).  The config option prevents having 4 level page
      tables with 64k base page size.

      [PATCH] vm: remove unused/broken page_pte[_prot] macros · 1426d7a8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch removes page_pte_prot and page_pte macros from all
      architectures.  Some architectures define both, some only page_pte (broken)
      and others none.  These macros are not used anywhere.
      
      page_pte_prot(page, prot) is identical to mk_pte(page, prot) and
      page_pte(page) is identical to page_pte_prot(page, __pgprot(0)).
      
      * The following architectures define both page_pte_prot and page_pte
      
        arm, arm26, ia64, sh64, sparc, sparc64
      
      * The following architectures define only page_pte (broken)
      
        frv, i386, m32r, mips, sh, x86-64

      [IA64] Rationalise Region Definitions · 0a41e250
      Peter Chubb 提交于
      Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several 
      names.  For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and 
      RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h 
       
      We also have address definitions that should depend on the 
      RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants. 
       
      The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have 
      the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that 
      depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. 
      
      (This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like 
      operation on IA64). 
      
      Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

      [PATCH] Hugepage consolidation · 63551ae0
      David Gibson 提交于
      A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar.  This patch
      attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
      combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
      order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
      reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
      lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
      
      Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
      
      Notes:
      	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
      	  analagous to set_pte()
      	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      ia64 and sparc64 hurriedly had to introduce their own variants of
      pgd_addr_end, to leapfrog over the holes in their virtual address spaces which
      the final clear_page_range suddenly presented when converted from pgd_index to
      pgd_addr_end.  But now that free_pgtables respects the vma list, those holes
      are never presented, and the arch variants can go.

      [PATCH] freepgt: hugetlb_free_pgd_range · 3bf5ee95
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      ia64 and ppc64 had hugetlb_free_pgtables functions which were no longer being
      called, and it wasn't obvious what to do about them.
      
      The ppc64 case turns out to be easy: the associated tables are noted elsewhere
      and freed later, safe to either skip its hugetlb areas or go through the
      motions of freeing nothing.  Since ia64 does need a special case, restore to
      ppc64 the special case of skipping them.
      
      The ia64 hugetlb case has been broken since pgd_addr_end went in, though it
      probably appeared to work okay if you just had one such area; in fact it's
      been broken much longer if you consider a long munmap spanning from another
      region into the hugetlb region.
      
      In the ia64 hugetlb region, more virtual address bits are available than in
      the other regions, yet the page tables are structured the same way: the page
      at the bottom is larger.  Here we need to scale down each addr before passing
      it to the standard free_pgd_range.  Was about to write a hugely_scaled_down
      macro, but found htlbpage_to_page already exists for just this purpose.  Fixed
      off-by-one in ia64 is_hugepage_only_range.
      
      Uninline free_pgd_range to make it available to ia64.  Make sure the
      vma-gathering loop in free_pgtables cannot join a hugepage_only_range to any
      other (safe to join huges?  probably but don't bother).

      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!
