      PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures · 27ac792c
      Andrea Righi 提交于
      On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
      boundary. For example:
      
      	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
      
      always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
      
      The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
      example):
      
      #define PAGE_SHIFT      12
      #define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
      #define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
      ...
      #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
      
      The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
      PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
      Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
      typeof(addr) for the mask.
      
      Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
      include/linux/mm.h.

      CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables. · 2f569afd
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
      page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
      instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
      have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
      (pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
      instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
      for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
      To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
      1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
      
      Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
      the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
      page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
      cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
      32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
      accessible since its not kmapped).
      
      Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
      pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
      later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
      additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
      NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
      a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
      functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
      freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
       To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
      pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
      call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

      [XTENSA] Add support for cache-aliasing · 6656920b
      Chris Zankel 提交于
      Add support for processors that have cache-aliasing issues, such as
      the Stretch S5000 processor. Cache-aliasing means that the size of
      the cache (for one way) is larger than the page size, thus, a page
      can end up in several places in cache depending on the virtual to
      physical translation. The method used here is to map a user page
      temporarily through the auto-refill way 0 and of of the DTLB.
      We probably will want to revisit this issue and use a better
      approach with kmap/kunmap.

      [XTENSA] clean-up header files · de4f6e5b
      Chris Zankel 提交于
      The header files in the asm-xtensa directory are not clean and
      'make headers_check' fails. This is a first patch to fix most of
      the header files. It removes unnecessary include statements and
      adds some that are required for building the kernel. The linker
      script required some updates or the linking stage would fail.
