This is the meat of the series which prevents any dcache alias creation by always keeping the U and K mapping of a page congruent. If a mapping already exists, and other tries to access the page, prev one is flushed to physical page (wback+inv) Essentially flush_dcache_page()/copy_user_highpage() create K-mapping of a page, but try to defer flushing, unless U-mapping exist. When page is actually mapped to userspace, update_mmu_cache() flushes the K-mapping (in certain cases this can be optimised out) Additonally flush_cache_mm(), flush_cache_range(), flush_cache_page() handle the puring of stale userspace mappings on exit/munmap... flush_anon_page() handles the existing U-mapping for anon page before kernel reads it via the GUP path. Note that while not complete, this is enough to boot a simple dynamically linked Busybox based rootfs Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

vaddr used to index the cache was clipped from the wrong end, and thus would potentially fail to flush the correct lines. The problem was dorment for so long because up until the recent optimizations it was only used for ptrace break-point only flushes. Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

flush_dcache_page( ) is MM hook to ensure that a page has consistent views between kernel and userspace. Thus it is called when * kernel writes to a page which at some later point could get mapped to userspace (so kernel mapping needs to be flushed-n-inv) * kernel is about to read from a page with possible userspace mappings (so userspace mappings needs to be made coherent with kernel ones) However for Non aliasing VIPT dcache, any userspace mapping will always be congruent to kernel mapping. Thus d-cache need need not be flushed at all (or delayed indefinitely). The only reason it does need to be flushed is when mapping code pages. Since icache doesn't snoop dcache, those dirty dcache lines need to be written back to memory and icache line invalidated so that icache lines fetch will get the right data. Decent gains on LMBench fork/exec/sh and File I/O micro-benchmarks.

由 Vineet Gupta 提交于
This change continues the theme from prev commit - this time icache handling for kernel's own code modification (vmalloc: loadable modules, breakpoints for kprobes/kgdb...) flush_icache_range() calls the CDU icache helper with vaddr to enable exact line invalidate. For a true kernel-virtual mapping, the vaddr is actually virtual hence valid as index into cache. For kprobes breakpoint however, the vaddr arg is actually paddr - since that's how normal kernel is mapped in ARC memory map. This implies that CDU will use the same addr for indexing as for tag match - which is fine since kernel code would only have that "implicit" mapping and none other. This should speed up module loading significantly - specially on default ARC700 icache configurations (32k) which alias. Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

ARC icache doesn't snoop dcache thus executable pages need to be made coherent before mapping into userspace in flush_icache_page(). However ARC700 CDU (hardware cache flush module) requires both vaddr (index in cache) as well as paddr (tag match) to correctly identify a line in the VIPT cache. A typical ARC700 SoC has aliasing icache, thus the paddr only based flush_icache_page() API couldn't be implemented efficiently. It had to loop thru all possible alias indexes and perform the invalidate operation (ofcourse the cache op would only succeed at the index(es) where tag matches - typically only 1, but the cost of visiting all the cache-bins needs to paid nevertheless). Turns out however that the vaddr (along with paddr) is available in update_mmu_cache() hence better suits ARC icache flush semantics. With both vaddr+paddr, exactly one flush operation per line is done. Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

munmap ends up calling tlb_flush() which for ARC was flushing the entire TLB unconditionally (by moving the MMU to a new ASID) do_munmap unmap_region unmap_vmas unmap_single_vma unmap_page_range tlb_start_vma zap_pud_range tlb_end_vma() tlb_finish_mmu tlb_flush() ---> unconditional flush_tlb_mm() So even a single page munmap, a frequent operation when uClibc dynamic linker (ldso) is loading the dependent shared libraries, would move the the ASID multiple times - needlessly invalidating the pre-faulted TLB entries (and increasing the rate of ASID wraparound + full TLB flush). This is now optimised to only be called if tlb->full_mm (which means for exit/execve) cases only. And for those cases, flush_tlb_mm() is already optimised to be a no-op for mm->mm_users == 0. So essentially there are no mmore full mm flushes - except for fork which anyhow needs it for properly COW'ing parent address space. munmap now needs to do TLB range flush, which is implemented with tlb_end_vma() Results ------- 1. ASID now consistenly moves by 4 during a simple ls (as opposed to 5 or 7 before). 2.

arc-intc is initialized in arc common code as it is applicable to all platforms. However platforms with their own external intc still need to refer to it for correct DT interrupt tree hierarchy setup, e.g. static struct of_device_id __initdata tb10x_irq_ids[] = { { .compatible = "snps,arc700-intc", .data = dummy_init_irq }, { .compatible = "abilis,tb10x_ictl", .data = tb10x_init_irq }, {}, }; The fix is to use the generic irqchip framework to tie all irqchips in a special linker section and then call irqchip_init() which calls the DT of_irq_init() for all the intc in one go. That way the platform code need not be aware of arc-intc at all. Signed-off-by: NVineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

Currently, for every ARC kernel build I see the following: --------------->8----------------- DTB arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.S AS arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.o LD arch/arc/boot/dts/built-in.o rm arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.S <-- forces rebuild next iter CHK kernel/config_data.h --------------->8----------------- This is because *.dts.S is intermediate file in dtb generation and is by default deleted by make which needs a ".SECONDARY" hint to NOT do so. This could have ideally been done in scripts/Makefile.lib - for benefit of all, however .SECONDARY doesn't seem to work with wildcards.
