The only persistent change made by this loop is calling memblock_set_node() once for each memblock, which is not useful (and has no effect) as memblock_set_node() is not called with any memblock-specific parameters.

Remove the dependency on PCI initialization for SWIOTLB initialization. So that PCI can be initialized at proper time. SWIOTLB is partly determined by PCI inbound/outbound map which is assigned in PCI initialization. But swiotlb_init() should be done at the stage of mem_init() which is much earlier than PCI initialization. So we reserve the memory for SWIOTLB first and free it if not necessary. All boards are converted to fit this change.

There are some device-tree nodes, whose values are of type phys_addr_t. The phys_addr_t is variable sized based on the CONFIG_PHSY_T_64BIT. Change these to a fixed unsigned long long for consistency. This patch does the change only for memory_limit. The following is a list of such variables which need the change: 1) kernel_end, crashk_size - in arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c 2) (struct resource *)crashk_res.start - We could export a local static variable from machine_kexec.c. Changing the above values might break the kexec-tools. So, I will fix kexec-tools first to handle the different sized values and then change the above.

As described in the help text in the patch, this token restricts general access to /dev/mem as a way of increasing the security. Specifically, access to exclusive IOMEM and kernel RAM is denied unless CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set to 'n'. Implement the 'devmem_is_allowed()' interface for Powerpc. It will be called from range_is_allowed() when userpsace attempts to access /dev/mem. This patch is based on an earlier patch from Steve Best and with input from Paul Mackerras and Scott Wood.

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.

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.

We need to round memory regions correctly -- specifically, we need to round reserved region in the more expansive direction (lower limit down, upper limit up) whereas usable memory regions need to be rounded in the more restrictive direction (lower limit up, upper limit down). This introduces two set of inlines: memblock_region_memory_base_pfn() memblock_region_memory_end_pfn() memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn() memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn() Although they are antisymmetric (and therefore are technically duplicates) the use of the different inlines explicitly documents the programmer's intention. The lack of proper rounding caused a bug on ARM, which was then found to also affect other architectures.

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.

On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages uncacheable. This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available for modification via update_mmu_cache(). Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to update_mmu_cache(): On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the pte_t? Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC: Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases, for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the _PAGE_EXEC. So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to suit.

The hugepage arch code provides a number of hook functions/macros which mirror the functionality of various normal page pte access functions. Various changes in the normal page accessors (in particular BenH's recent changes to the handling of lazy icache flushing and PAGE_EXEC) have caused the hugepage versions to get out of sync with the originals. In some cases, this is a bug, at least on some MMU types. One of the reasons that some hooks were not identical to the normal page versions, is that the fact we're dealing with a hugepage needed to be passed down do use the correct dcache-icache flush function. This patch makes the main flush_dcache_icache_page() function hugepage aware (by checking for the PageCompound flag). That in turn means we can make set_huge_pte_at() just a call to set_pte_at() bringing it back into sync. As a bonus, this lets us remove the hash_huge_page_do_lazy_icache() function, replacing it with a call to the hash_page_do_lazy_icache() function it was based on. Some other hugepage pte access hooks - huge_ptep_get_and_clear() and huge_ptep_clear_flush() - are not so easily unified, but this patch at least brings them back into sync with the current versions of the corresponding normal page functions.

由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
Originally, walk_memory_resource() was introduced to traverse all memory of "System RAM" for detecting memory hotplug/unplug range. For doing so, flags of IORESOUCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_BUSY was used and this was enough for memory hotplug. But for using other purpose, /proc/kcore, this may includes some firmware area marked as IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOUCE_MEM. This patch makes the check strict to find out busy "System RAM". Note: PPC64 keeps their own walk_memory_resouce(), which walk through ppc64's lmb informaton. Because old kclist_add() is called per lmb, this patch makes no difference in behavior, finally. And this patch removes CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG check from this function. Because pfn_valid() just show "there is memmap or not* and cannot be used for "there is physical memory or not", this function is useful in generic to scan physical memory range.

The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there), or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual address space. This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but grew its own fixes. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC. The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type: - Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages on exec faults. - Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and 64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache(). - Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does. That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache() is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but I think it has bitten us in the past. Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least one more page fault. This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites, though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags() which joins the former in pgtable.c The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later). If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags() to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time. For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(), thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache is clean. For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we use _PAGE_EXEC. This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all the memory sections located on nodeX. For example: /sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135 indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1. Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state' that were previously not described there. In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with the maximum possible amount of physical location information for resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by this change. Immediate: - Provides information needed to determine the specific node on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out. - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory could be ugly. - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes. Future: - Will provide information needed to identify the memory sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal of a specific node. Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

Currently, we never set _PAGE_COHERENT in the PTEs, we just OR it in in the hash code based on some CPU feature bit. We also manipulate _PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED by hand in all sorts of places. This changes the logic so that instead, the PTE now contains _PAGE_COHERENT for all normal RAM pages thay have I = 0 on platforms that need it. The hash code clears it if the feature bit is not set. It also adds some clean accessors to setup various valid combinations of access flags and change various bits of code to use them instead. This should help having the PTE actually containing the bit combinations that we really want. I also removed _PAGE_GUARDED from _PAGE_BASE on 44x and instead set it explicitely from the TLB miss. I will ultimately remove it completely as it appears that it might not be needed after all but in the meantime, having it in the TLB miss makes things a lot easier.

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).

There is nothing architecture specific about remove_memory(). remove_memory() function is common for all architectures which support hotplug memory remove. Instead of duplicating it in every architecture, collapse them into arch neutral function.

Commit 8b150478 ("ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addresses") fixed page_is_ram() in arch/ppc to avoid overflow for addresses above 4G on 32-bit kernels. However arch/powerpc's page_is_ram() is missing the same fix -- it computes a physical address by doing pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, which overflows if pfn corresponds to a page above 4G. In particular this causes pages above 4G to be mapped with the wrong caching attribute; for example many ppc440-based SoCs have PCI space above 4G, and mmap()ing MMIO space may end up with a mapping that has caching enabled. Fix this by working with the pfn and avoiding the conversion to physical address that causes the overflow. This patch compares the pfn to max_pfn, which is a semantic change from the old code -- that code compared the physical address to high_memory, which corresponds to max_low_pfn. However, I think that was is another bug, since highmem pages are still RAM.
