The impetus for this is that we would like to move to 64-bit PMDs and PGDs, but that would result in only supporting a 42-bit address space with the current page table layout. It'd be nice to support at least 43-bits. The reason we'd end up with only 42-bits after making PMDs and PGDs 64-bit is that we only use half-page sized PTE tables in order to make PMDs line up to 4MB, the hardware huge page size we use. So what we do here is we make huge pages 8MB, and fabricate them using 4MB hw TLB entries. Facilitate this by providing a "REAL_HPAGE_SHIFT" which is used in places that really need to operate on hardware 4MB pages. Use full pages (512 entries) for PTE tables, and adjust PMD_SHIFT, PGD_SHIFT, and the build time CPP test as needed. Use a CPP test to make sure REAL_HPAGE_SHIFT and the _PAGE_SZHUGE_* we use match up. This makes the pgtable cache completely unused, so remove the code managing it and the state used in mm_context_t. Now we have less spinlocks taken in the page table allocation path. The technique we use to fabricate the 8MB pages is to transfer bit 22 from the missing virtual address into the PTEs physical address field. That takes care of the transparent huge pages case. For hugetlb, we fill things in at the PTE level and that code already puts the sub huge page physical bits into the PTEs, based upon the offset, so there is nothing special we need to do. It all just works out. So, a small amount of complexity in the THP case, but this code is about to get much simpler when we move the 64-bit PMDs as we can move away from the fancy 32-bit huge PMD encoding and just put a real PTE value in there.

As reported by Dave Kleikamp, when we emit cross calls to do batched TLB flush processing we have a race because we do not synchronize on the sibling cpus completing the cross call. So meanwhile the TLB batch can be reset (tb->tlb_nr set to zero, etc.) and either flushes are missed or flushes will flush the wrong addresses. Fix this by using generic infrastructure to synchonize on the completion of the cross call. This first required getting the flush_tlb_pending() call out from switch_to() which operates with locks held and interrupts disabled. The problem is that smp_call_function_many() cannot be invoked with IRQs disabled and this is explicitly checked for with WARN_ON_ONCE(). We get the batch processing outside of locked IRQ disabled sections by using some ideas from the powerpc port. Namely, we only batch inside of arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() calls. If we're not in such a region, we flush TLBs synchronously. 1) Get rid of xcall_flush_tlb_pending and per-cpu type implementations. 2) Do TLB batch cross calls instead via: smp_call_function_many() tlb_pending_func() __flush_tlb_pending() 3) Batch only in lazy mmu sequences: a) Add 'active' member to struct tlb_batch b) Define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE c) Set 'active' in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() d) Run batch and clear 'active' in arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() e) Check 'active' in tlb_batch_add_one() and do a synchronous flush if it's clear. 4) Add infrastructure for synchronous TLB page flushes. a) Implement __flush_tlb_page and per-cpu variants, patch as needed. b) Likewise for xcall_flush_tlb_page. c) Implement smp_flush_tlb_page() to invoke the cross-call. d) Wire up global_flush_tlb_page() to the right routine based upon CONFIG_SMP 5) It turns out that singleton batches are very common, 2 out of every 3 batch flushes have only a single entry in them. The batch flush waiting is very expensive, both because of the poll on sibling cpu completeion, as well as because passing the tlb batch pointer to the sibling cpus invokes a shared memory dereference. Therefore, in flush_tlb_pending(), if there is only one entry in the batch perform a completely asynchronous global_flush_tlb_page() instead.

Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the SetPageReferenced() bits. On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs. In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header file adjustments were necessary. Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory. Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss assembler page table walkers aware of the layout. set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping. We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added in the future. With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page support. Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB. The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page. We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures that this requirement is always met. There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages uncacheable. This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available for modification via update_mmu_cache(). Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to update_mmu_cache(): On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the pte_t? Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC: Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases, for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the _PAGE_EXEC. So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to suit.

When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary crap. So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory that actually exists. In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates "I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges. The result of this is that: 1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size 2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such. If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu will be out of trap levels and enter RED state. To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an unnecessary extra memory reference. On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks in the TLB miss path.

Adrian Bunk reported that enabling 4MB page size breaks the build. The problem is that MAX_ORDER combined with the page shift exceeds the SECTION_SIZE_BITS we use in asm-sparc64/sparsemem.h There are several ways I suppose we could work around this. For one we could define a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER to decrease MAX_ORDER in these higher page size cases. But I also know that these page size cases are broken wrt. TLB miss handling especially on pre-hypervisor systems, and there isn't an easy way to fix that. These options were meant to be fun experimental hacks anyways, and only 8K and 64K make any sense to support. So remove 512K and 4M base page size support. Of course, we still support these page sizes for huge pages. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

__get_phys is only called from init.c as is prom_virt_to_phys(), __get_iospace() is not called at all, and sun4u_get_pte() is largely misnamed. Privatize the implementation and helper functions of sun4u_get_phys() to mm/init.c, and rename to kvaddr_to_paddr(). The only used of this thing is flush_icache_range(), and thus things can be considerably further simplified. For example, we should only see module or PAGE_OFFSET kernel addresses here, so we don't need the OBP firmware range handling at all. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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.

The "%uhi" needs to be "%%uhi" because we want a real "%" character in the assembler here, instead of an assembler variable expansion. Aparently older GCCs were more liberal and interpreted this %-letter as a literal "%" for whatever reason. Based upon a build failure report from Meelis Roos. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

On some sun4v systems, after netboot the ethernet controller and it's DMA mappings can be left active. The net result is that the kernel can end up using memory the ethernet controller will continue to DMA into, resulting in corruption. To deal with this, we are more careful about importing IOMMU translations which OBP has left in the IO-TLB. If the mapping maps into an area the firmware claimed was free and available memory for the kernel to use, we demap instead of import that IOMMU entry. This is going to cause the network chip to take a PCI master abort on the next DMA it attempts, if it has been left going like this. All tests show that this is handled properly by the PCI layer and the e1000 drivers. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If we move a mapping from one virtual address to another, and this changes the virtual color of the mapping to those pages, we can see corrupt data due to D-cache aliasing. Check for and deal with this by overriding the move_pte() macro. Set things up so that other platforms can cleanly override the move_pte() macro too. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
