      [SPARC64]: Remove most limitations to kernel image size. · 64658743
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Currently kernel images are limited to 8MB in size, and this causes
      problems especially when enabling features that take up a lot of
      kernel image space such as lockdep.
      
      The code now will align the kernel image size up to 4MB and map that
      many locked TLB entries.  So, the only practical limitation is the
      number of available locked TLB entries which is 16 on Cheetah and 64
      on pre-Cheetah sparc64 cpus.  Niagara cpus don't actually have hw
      locked TLB entry support.  Rather, the hypervisor transparently
      provides support for "locked" TLB entries since it runs with physical
      addressing and does the initial TLB miss processing.
      
      Fully utilizing this change requires some help from SILO, a patch for
      which will be submitted to the maintainer.  Essentially, SILO will
      only currently map up to 8MB for the kernel image and that needs to be
      increased.
      
      Note that neither this patch nor the SILO bits will help with network
      booting.  The openfirmware code will only map up to a certain amount
      of kernel image during a network boot and there isn't much we can to
      about that other than to implemented a layered network booting
      facility.  Solaris has this, and calls it "wanboot" and we may
      implement something similar at some point.

      [SPARC64]: Loosen checks in exception table handling. · 622eaec6
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Some parts of the kernel now do things like do *_user() accesses while
      set_fs(KERNEL_DS) that fault on purpose.
      
      See, for example, the code added by changeset
      a0c1e907 ("futex: runtime enable pi
      and robust functionality").
      
      That trips up the ASI sanity checking we make in do_kernel_fault().
      
      Just remove it for now.  Maybe we can add it back later with an added
      conditional which looks at the current get_fs() value.

      [SPARC64]: Fix section mismatch from kernel_map_range · 896aef43
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Fix following warnings:
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4f980): Section mismatch in reference from the function kernel_map_range() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem()
      WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4f9cc): Section mismatch in reference from the function kernel_map_range() to the function .init.text:__alloc_bootmem()
      
      alloc_bootmem() is only used during early init and for any subsequent
      call to kernel_map_range() the program logic avoid the call.
      So annotate kernel_map_range() with __ref to tell modpost to
      ignore the reference to a __init function.

      Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem() · 72a7fe39
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
      BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
      between crashkernel area and already used memory.
      
      This patch:
      
      Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
      If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
      has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.
      
      Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
      inside reserve_bootmem_core().

      [SPARC64]: Fix two kernel linear mapping setup bugs. · 8f361453
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This was caught and identified by Greg Onufer.
      
      Since we setup the 256M/4M bitmap table after taking over the trap
      table, it's possible for some 4M mapping to get loaded in the TLB
      beforhand which later will be 256M mappings.
      
      This can cause illegal TLB multiple-match conditions.  Fix this by
      setting up the bitmap before we take over the trap table.
      
      Next, __flush_tlb_all() was not doing anything on hypervisor
      platforms.  Fix by adding sun4v_mmu_demap_all() and calling it.

      fix memory hot remove not configured case. · 48e94196
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Now, arch dependent code around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is a mess.
      This patch cleans up them. This is against 2.6.23-rc6-mm1.
      
       - fix compile failure on ia64/ CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE case.
       - For !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, add generic no-op remove_memory(),
         which returns -EINVAL.
       - removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc.
       - removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64.
      
       - only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it
         to return -EINVAL.
      
      Note:
      Currently, only ia64 supports CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. I welcome other
      archs if there are requirements and testers.

      During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group · dcca2bde
      Will Schmidt 提交于
      We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
      after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
      condition.
      
      Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
      state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
      application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
      that something has gone wrong.
      
      This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
      than just the one thread.

      hugepage: fix broken check for offset alignment in hugepage mappings · dec4ad86
      David Gibson 提交于
      For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to
      be aligned to the size of a hugepage.
      
      In commit 68589bc3, the check for this was
      moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks.
       But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to
      commit 4b1d8929, prepare_hugepage_range()
      is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings.  This means
      we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that
      mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc
      and i386 at least.
      
      This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range()
      and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap().  I'm putting it there,
      rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one
      place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific
      implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().
