This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page table walks. As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking it away, along with the other control bits. This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture. Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

ARMv7 onwards requires that there are no aliases to the same physical location using different memory types (i.e. Normal vs Strongly Ordered). Access to SO mappings when the unaligned accesses are handled in hardware is also Unpredictable (pgprot_noncached() mappings in user space). The /dev/mem driver requires uncached mappings with O_SYNC. The patch implements the phys_mem_access_prot() function which generates Strongly Ordered memory attributes if !pfn_valid() (independent of O_SYNC) and Normal Noncacheable (writecombine) if O_SYNC.

On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC). This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a vm_area_struct is required.

Provide a configuration option to allow the ARMv6 to use normal bufferable memory for coherent DMA. This option is forced to 'y' for ARMv7, and offered as a configuration option on ARMv6. Enabling this option requires drivers to have the necessary barriers to ensure that data in DMA coherent memory is visible prior to the DMA operation commencing.

On ARMv7, it is invalid to map the same physical address multiple times with different memory types. Since system RAM is already mapped as 'memory', subsequent remapping of it must retain this attribute. However, DMA memory maps it as "strongly ordered". Fix this by introducing 'pgprot_dmacoherent()' which provides the necessary page table bits for DMA mappings.

In the long run, we may want to place page tables in highmem. However, pmd_page() has traditionally been coded to convert the physical address to a virtual one, which won't work with highmem pages.

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted: vm_normal_page() { ... if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) { if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; #else if (!pfn_valid(pfn)) return NULL; #endif goto out; } ... } This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get slightly better code generation in the process): vm_normal_page() { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; return pte_page(pte); #else ... #endif } And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this. Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate. So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any compiled code changes to mm/memory.o. BTW: I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion. The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function -- the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions, while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

For kernel addresses between TASK_SIZE and PAGE_OFFSET, flush_tlb_kern_range() does not work as would be expected. The TLB invalidate works with a matching ASID, or on entries marked as global. The set_pte_at() macro marks addresses >= PAGE_OFFSET as global, but not addresses from TASK_SIZE to PAGE_OFFSET, which are also kernel addresses. The result is that the entries in this range are not actually invalidated by flush_tlb_kern_range(). This patch instead marks addresses >= TASK_SIZE as global.
