On hash table based 32 bits powerpc's, the hash management code runs with a big spinlock. It's thus important that it never causes itself a hash fault. That code is generally safe (it does memory accesses in real mode among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking a hash miss exceptions. This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC implemented in a subsequent patch. This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash pressure.

The 32 bits map_page() function is used internally by the mm code for early mmu mappings and for ioremap. It should never be called for an address that already has a valid PTE or hash entry, so we add a BUG_ON for that and remove the useless flush_HPTE call.

The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems. This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given CPU before it drops that lock. We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush. Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will use the batch for that flush.

由 Paul Mackerras 提交于
Some drivers have resources that they want to be able to map into userspace that are 4k in size. On a kernel configured with 64k pages we currently end up mapping the 4k we want plus another 60k of physical address space, which could contain anything. This can introduce security problems, for example in the case of an infiniband adaptor where the other 60k could contain registers that some other program is using for its communications. This patch adds a new function, remap_4k_pfn, which drivers can use to map a single 4k page to userspace regardless of whether the kernel is using a 4k or a 64k page size. Like remap_pfn_range, it would typically be called in a driver's mmap function. It only maps a single 4k page, which on a 64k page kernel appears replicated 16 times throughout a 64k page. On a 4k page kernel it reduces to a call to remap_pfn_range. The way this works on a 64k kernel is that a new bit, _PAGE_4K_PFN, gets set on the linux PTE. This alters the way that __hash_page_4K computes the real address to put in the HPTE. The RPN field of the linux PTE becomes the 4k RPN directly rather than being interpreted as a 64k RPN. Since the RPN field is 32 bits, this means that physical addresses being mapped with remap_4k_pfn have to be below 2^44, i.e. 0x100000000000. The patch also factors out the code in arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c that deals with demoting a process to use 4k pages into one function that gets called in the various different places where we need to do that. There were some discrepancies between exactly what was done in the various places, such as a call to spu_flush_all_slbs in one case but not in others.

This cleans up how the zImage code manipulates the kernel command line. Notable improvements from the old handling: - Command line manipulation is consolidated into a new prep_cmdline() function, rather than being scattered across start() and some helper functions - Less stack space use: we use just a single global command line buffer, which can be initialized by an external tool as before, we no longer need another command line sized buffer on the stack. - Easier to support platforms whose firmware passes a commandline, but not a device tree. Platform code can now point new loader_info fields to the firmware's command line, rather than having to do early manipulation of the /chosen bootargs property which may then be rewritten again by the core.

This patch adds a library of useful device tree manipulation functions to the zImage library, for use by platform code. These functions are based on the hooks already in dt_ops, so they're not dependent on a particular device tree implementation. This patch also slightly streamlines the code in main.c using these new functions. This is a consolidation of my work in this area with Scott Wood's patches to a very similar end.

There are many adapters which cannot handle DMAing across any 4 GB boundary. For instance, the latest Emulex adapters. This normally is not an issue as firmware gives dma-windows under 4gigs. However, some of the new System-P boxes have dma-windows above 4gigs, and this present a problem. During initialization of the IOMMU tables, the last entry at each 4GB boundary is marked as used. Thus no mappings can cross the boundary. If a table ends at a 4GB boundary, the entry is not marked as used. A boot option to remove this 4GB protection is given w/ protect4gb=off. This exposes the potential issue for driver and hardware development purposes.
