Core kernel doesn't track the page size of the VA range that we are invalidating. Hence we end up flushing TLB for the entire mm here. Later patches will improve this. We also don't flush page walk cache separetly instead use RIC=2 when flushing TLB, because we do a MMU gather flush after freeing page table. MMU_NO_CONTEXT is updated for hash.

This adds routines for early setup for radix. We use device tree property "ibm,processor-radix-AP-encodings" to find supported page sizes. If we don't find the above we consider 64K and 4K as supported page sizes. We do map vmemap using 2M page size if we can. The linear mapping is done such that we use required page size for that range. For example memory of 3.5G is mapped such that we use 1G mapping till 3G range and use 2M mapping for the rest.

On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler. This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the non-idle time. Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and 85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93% are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on addresses from the virtual address space. MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is done on the 40x. In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add 4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR routine. This is just ignored by HW. In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page. With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.

We are adding support for DMA memory pre-registration to be used in conjunction with VFIO. The idea is that the userspace which is going to run a guest may want to pre-register a user space memory region so it all gets pinned once and never goes away. Having this done, a hypervisor will not have to pin/unpin pages on every DMA map/unmap request. This is going to help with multiple pinning of the same memory. Another use of it is in-kernel real mode (mmu off) acceleration of DMA requests where real time translation of guest physical to host physical addresses is non-trivial and may fail as linux ptes may be temporarily invalid. Also, having cached host physical addresses (compared to just pinning at the start and then walking the page table again on every H_PUT_TCE), we can be sure that the addresses which we put into TCE table are the ones we already pinned. This adds a list of memory regions to mm_context_t. Each region consists of a header and a list of physical addresses. This adds API to: 1. register/unregister memory regions; 2. do final cleanup (which puts all pre-registered pages); 3. do userspace to physical address translation; 4. manage usage counters; multiple registration of the same memory is allowed (once per container). This implements 2 counters per registered memory region: - @mapped: incremented on every DMA mapping; decremented on unmapping; initialized to 1 when a region is just registered; once it becomes zero, no more mappings allowe; - @used: incremented on every "register" ioctl; decremented on "unregister"; unregistration is allowed for DMA mapped regions unless it is the very last reference. For the very last reference this checks that the region is still mapped and returns -EBUSY so the userspace gets to know that memory is still pinned and unregistration needs to be retried; @used remains 1. Host physical addresses are stored in vmalloc'ed array. In order to access these in the real mode (mmu off), there is a real_vmalloc_addr() helper. In-kernel acceleration patchset will move it from KVM to MMU code.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium. Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data: # -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from # the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the # percpu data area are created by this method. # # The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the # original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base # kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full # 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low (16-64) on current processors. The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g. Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated). This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for 64-bit BooKE.

On Freescale parts typically have TLB array for large mappings that we can bolt the linear mapping into. We utilize the code that already exists on PPC32 on the 64-bit side to setup the linear mapping to be cover by bolted TLB entries. We utilize a quarter of the variable size TLB array for this purpose. Additionally, we limit the amount of memory to what we can cover via bolted entries so we don't get secondary faults in the TLB miss handlers. We should fix this limitation in the future.

It needs to be configurable so that if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's being fixed. The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds. The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror, that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

Currently, the various forms of low level TLB invalidations are all implemented in misc_32.S for 32-bit processors, in a fairly scary mess of #ifdef's and with interesting duplication such as a whole bunch of code for FSL _tlbie and _tlbia which are no longer used. This moves things around such that _tlbie is now defined in hash_low_32.S and is only used by the 32-bit hash code, and all nohash CPUs use the various _tlbil_* forms that are now moved to a new file, tlb_nohash_low.S. I moved all the definitions for that stuff out of include/asm/tlbflush.h as they are really internal mm stuff, into mm/mmu_decl.h The code should have no functional changes. I kept some variants inline for trivial forms on things like 40x and 8xx.

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).

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.

Linus made this suggestion for the x86 merge and this starts the process for powerpc. We assume that CONFIG_PPC64 implies CONFIG_PPC_MERGE and CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32 implies CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU. Signed-off-by: NStephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

4xx is a bit of a misnomer for certain things, as they really apply to PowerPC 40x only. Rename some of the files to clean this up. Signed-off-by: NJosh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NDavid Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
