      gxfb/lxfb: detect framebuffer size using an MSR if VSA2 isn't available · fd967956
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      If there's no VSA2 (ie, if we're using tinybios or OpenFirmware), use the
      GLIU's P2D Range Offset Descriptor to determine how much memory we have
      available for the framebuffer.
      
      Originally based on a patch by Jordan Crouse.  Tested with OpenFirmware;
      Pascal informs me that tinybios has a stub that fills in P2D_RO0.

      x86: GEODE: add Virtual Systems Architecture detection · e9338364
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      This is generic VSA2 detection.  It's used by OLPC to determine whether or not
      the BIOS contains VSA2, but since other BIOSes are coming out that don't use
      the VSA (ie, tinybios), it might end up being useful for others.

      x86: geode: MSR cleanup · 32bf87e3
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      This cleans up a few MSR-using drivers in the following manner:
        - Ensures MSRs are all defined in asm/geode.h, rather than in misc
          places
        - Makes the naming consistent; cs553[56] ones begin with MSR_,
          GX-specific ones start with MSR_GX_, and LX-specific ones start
          with MSR_LX_.  Also, make the names match the data sheet.
        - Use MSR names rather than numbers in source code
        - Document the fact that the LX's MSR_PADSEL has the wrong value
          in the data sheet.  That's, uh, good to note.

      hugetlbfs: common code update for s390 · 7f2e9525
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      Huge ptes have a special type on s390 and cannot be handled with the standard
      pte functions in certain cases, e.g.  because of a different location of the
      invalid bit.  This patch adds some new architecture- specific functions to
      hugetlb common code, as a prerequisite for the s390 large page support.
      
      This won't affect other architectures in functionality, but I need to add some
      new dummy inline functions to the headers.

      hugetlbfs: add missing TLB flush to hugetlb_cow() · 8fe627ec
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte with
      set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation.  The old pte will remain in
      the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result in a page fault
      loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is flushed from somewhere else.
       This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush()
      function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in hugetlb_cow().
      
      ATTENTION: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, the s390
      implementation will come with our large page patch later.  Other architectures
      should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed.

      hugetlbfs: architecture header cleanup · 6d779079
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      This patch moves all architecture functions for hugetlb to architecture header
      files (include/asm-foo/hugetlb.h) and converts all macros to inline functions.
       It also removes (!) ARCH_HAS_HUGEPAGE_ONLY_RANGE,
      ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_FREE_PGD_RANGE, ARCH_HAS_PREPARE_HUGEPAGE_RANGE,
      ARCH_HAS_SETCLEAR_HUGE_PTE and ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_PREFAULT_HOOK.
      
      Getting rid of the ARCH_HAS_xxx #ifdef and macro fugliness should increase
      readability and maintainability, at the price of some code duplication.  An
      asm-generic common part would have reduced the loc, but we would end up with
      new ARCH_HAS_xxx defines eventually.

      mm: introduce pte_special pte bit · 7e675137
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      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.
