In this patch we do: cp pgtable-ppc32.h book3s/32/pgtable.h cp pgtable-ppc64.h book3s/64/pgtable.h This enable us to do further changes to hash specific config. We will change the page table format for 64bit hash in later patches.

This is the same bug we fixed as part of 09567e7f ("powerpc/mm: Check paca psize is up to date for huge mappings"). Please check that for details. The difference here is that faults were happening on a 4K page at an address previously mapped by hugetlb.

Two DSCR tests have a hack in them: /* * XXX: Force a context switch out so that DSCR * current value is copied into the thread struct * which is required for the child to inherit the * changed value. */ sleep(1); We should not be working around this in the testcase, it is a kernel bug. Fix it by copying the current DSCR to the child, instead of what we had in the thread struct at last context switch.

commit 152d523e ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") moved the restore of SPRs after the call to _switch(). There is an issue with this approach - new tasks do not return through _switch(), they are set up by copy_thread() to directly return through ret_from_fork() or ret_from_kernel_thread(). This means restore_sprs() is not getting called for new tasks. Fix this by moving restore_sprs() before _switch().

Move all our context switch SPR save and restore code into two helpers. We do a few optimisations: - Group all mfsprs and all mtsprs. In many cases an mtspr sets a scoreboarding bit that an mfspr waits on, so the current practise of mfspr A; mtspr A; mfpsr B; mtspr B is the worst scheduling we can do. - SPR writes are slow, so check that the value is changing before writing it.

Currently, if HV KVM is configured but PR KVM isn't, we don't include a test to see whether we were interrupted in KVM guest context for the set of interrupts which get delivered directly to the guest by hardware if they occur in the guest. This includes things like program interrupts. However, the recent bug where userspace could set the MSR for a VCPU to have an illegal value in the TS field, and thus cause a TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt on the hrfid that enters the guest, showed that we can never be completely sure that these interrupts can never occur in the guest entry/exit code. If one of these interrupts does happen and we have HV KVM configured but not PR KVM, then we end up trying to run the handler in the host with the MMU set to the guest MMU context, which generally ends badly. Thus, for robustness it is better to have the test in every interrupt vector, so that if some way is found to trigger some interrupt in the guest entry/exit path, we can handle it without immediately crashing the host. This means that the distinction between KVMTEST and KVMTEST_PR goes away. Thus we delete KVMTEST_PR and associated macros and use KVMTEST everywhere that we previously used either KVMTEST_PR or KVMTEST. It also means that SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 becomes the same as SOFTEN_TEST_PR, so we deleted SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 and use SOFTEN_TEST_PR instead.

It is common practice with powerpc to use 'rN' to refer to register 'N'. However when using the pt_regs_offset table we have to use 'gprN'. So add aliases such that both 'rN' and 'gprN' can be used.

Most architectures use NR_syscalls as the #define for the number of syscalls. We use __NR_syscalls, and then define NR_syscalls as __NR_syscalls. __NR_syscalls is not used outside arch code, whereas NR_syscalls is.

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels. A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on huge pages. The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default. Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to emulate standard 2MB huge pages. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned. Furthermore the checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being calculated and written at runtime. Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write). But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this makes things harder. So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write the checksum before we map the page read-only. Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages. Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support later on. Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT). Signed-off-by: NHelge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
