      [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros · 46a82b2d
      Dave McCracken 提交于
      One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
      pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
      page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
      have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
      other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
      
      Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
      structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
      simple to standardize their usage.
      
      Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
      patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
      pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

      [PATCH] hugepage: is_aligned_hugepage_range() cleanup · 42b88bef
      David Gibson 提交于
      Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced
      is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to
      verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping.
      is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement
      prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own.
      
      Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same
      implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range().  On powerpc, which
      implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never
      used.
      
      In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it
      suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range,
      whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed).
      
      This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range().  Instead
      prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly.  Most archs use the default
      version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a
      hugepage.  ia64 and powerpc define custom versions.  The ia64 one simply
      checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to
      being suitably aligned.  The powerpc version (just as previously) checks
      for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to
      set up new areas for use by hugepages.
      
      No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions on ppc64 (POWER5 LPAR).

      [PATCH] remove set_page_count() outside mm/ · 7835e98b
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
      Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
      init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().
      
      This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
      to play around with page->_count.

      [PATCH] mm: i386 sh sh64 ready for split ptlock · 60ec5585
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of pte_offset_map (or inappropriate
      pte_offset_kernel) and mm-wide page_table_lock, in sundry arch places.
      
      The i386 vm86 mark_screen_rdonly: yes, there was and is an assumption that the
      screen fits inside the one page table, as indeed it does.
      
      The sh __do_page_fault: which handles both kernel faults (without lock) and
      user mm faults (locked - though it set_pte without locking before).
      
      The sh64 flush_cache_range and helpers: which wrongly thought callers held
      page_table_lock before (only its tlb_start_vma did, and no longer does so);
      moved the flush loop down, and adjusted the large versus small range decision
      to consider a range which spans page tables as large.

      [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock · 872fec16
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
      been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
      kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
      pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
      
      Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
      architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
      and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
      did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
      
      Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
      user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
      differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
      
      If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
      init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
      neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
      break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
      pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
      
      Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
      used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
      pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
      map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
      took page_table_lock for no good reason.

      [PATCH] Hugepage consolidation · 63551ae0
      David Gibson 提交于
      A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar.  This patch
      attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
      combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
      order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
      reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
      lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
      
      Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
      
      Notes:
      	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
      	  analagous to set_pte()
      	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
