      powerpc: Hugetlb for BookE · 41151e77
      Becky Bruce 提交于
      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.

      powerpc: Force page alignment for initrd reserved memory · 307cfe71
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align
      the rootfs on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and
      subsequent early memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory
      between the 64K page alignment and reserved memory. When the reserved
      memory is subsequently freed, it is done so by pages, causing the
      early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which in my case, caused
      the device-tree to be clobbered.
      
      This patch forces the reserved memory for initrd to be kernel page
      aligned, and will move the device tree if it overlaps with the range
      extension of initrd. This patch will also consolidate the identical
      function free_initrd_mem() from mm/init_32.c, init_64.c to mm/mem.c,
      and adds the same range extension when freeing initrd. free_initrd_mem()
      is also moved to the __init section.
      
      Many thanks to Milton Miller for his input on this patch.

      memblock: Remove rmo_size, burry it in arch/powerpc where it belongs · cd3db0c4
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
      server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
      and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
      (aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
      is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.
      
      We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into
      arch/powerpc where it belongs, renaming it to "RMA" while at it.

      memblock: Introduce default allocation limit and use it to replace explicit ones · e63075a3
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
      from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).
      
      The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
      be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.
      
      It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.
      
      Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
      strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
      during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
      results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().
      
      The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
      the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
      honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      [POWERPC] Port fixmap from x86 and use for kmap_atomic · 2c419bde
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      The fixmap code from x86 allows us to have compile time virtual addresses
      that we change the physical addresses of at run time.
      
      This is useful for applications like kmap_atomic, PCI config that is done
      via direct memory map, kexec/kdump.
      
      We got ride of CONFIG_HIGHMEM_START as we can now determine a more optimal
      location for PKMAP_BASE based on where the fixmap addresses start and
      working back from there.
      
      Additionally, the kmap code in asm-powerpc/highmem.h always had debug
      enabled.  Moved to using CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM to determine if we should
      have the extra debug checking.

      [POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero) · 37dd2bad
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical
      address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and
      kdump).  The support can be configured at compile time by setting
      CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as
      desired.
      
      Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE.  Setting this
      config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical
      addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START.  If
      CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning.
      However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program
      header physical address field in the resulting ELF image.
      
      Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a
      multiple of 256M.  This is due to how we map TLBs to cover
      lowmem.  This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment
      in the future.  It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a
      non-aligned physical address.
      
      All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization
      of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.
      
      The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings.
      ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.
      
      /dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system
      regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Unify udbg (#2) · 51d3082f
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the
      merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg
      stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In
      addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well,
      approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations.
      The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify
      them in a later patch.
      
      For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using
      "btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg
      output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a
      later patch.

      removed from setup_32.c.  The bootinfo stuff remains in ARCH=ppc for
      the time being.
