      Some of the trap code was still assuming that alternate

      Let's just consistently flush at KERNBASE when we need
      a pipeline synchronization.  That's locked into the TLB

      This also cleans up tsb_context_switch().  The assembler

      and passes it into the assembler code as arguments.
      
      setup_tsb_parms() computes the locked TLB entry to map the
      TSB.  Later when we support using the physical address quad
      load instructions of Cheetah+ and later, we'll simply use
      the physical address for the TSB register value and set
      the map virtual and PTE both to zero.

      [SPARC64]: Elminate all usage of hard-coded trap globals. · 56fb4df6
      David S. Miller 提交于
      UltraSPARC has special sets of global registers which are switched to
      for certain trap types.  There is one set for MMU related traps, one
      set of Interrupt Vector processing, and another set (called the
      Alternate globals) for all other trap types.
      
      For what seems like forever we've hard coded the values in some of
      these trap registers.  Some examples include:
      
      1) Interrupt Vector global %g6 holds current processors interrupt
         work struct where received interrupts are managed for IRQ handler
         dispatch.
      
      2) MMU global %g7 holds the base of the page tables of the currently
         active address space.
      
      3) Alternate global %g6 held the current_thread_info() value.
      
      Such hardcoding has resulted in some serious issues in many areas.
      There are some code sequences where having another register available
      would help clean up the implementation.  Taking traps such as
      cross-calls from the OBP firmware requires some trick code sequences
      wherein we have to save away and restore all of the special sets of
      global registers when we enter/exit OBP.
      
      We were also using the IMMU TSB register on SMP to hold the per-cpu
      area base address, which doesn't work any longer now that we actually
      use the TSB facility of the cpu.
      
      The implementation is pretty straight forward.  One tricky bit is
      getting the current processor ID as that is different on different cpu
      variants.  We use a stub with a fancy calling convention which we
      patch at boot time.  The calling convention is that the stub is
      branched to and the (PC - 4) to return to is in register %g1.  The cpu
      number is left in %g6.  This stub can be invoked by using the
      __GET_CPUID macro.
      
      We use an array of per-cpu trap state to store the current thread and
      physical address of the current address space's page tables.  The
      TRAP_LOAD_THREAD_REG loads %g6 with the current thread from this
      table, it uses __GET_CPUID and also clobbers %g1.
      
      TRAP_LOAD_IRQ_WORK is used by the interrupt vector processing to load
      the current processor's IRQ software state into %g6.  It also uses
      __GET_CPUID and clobbers %g1.
      
      Finally, TRAP_LOAD_PGD_PHYS loads the physical address base of the
      current address space's page tables into %g7, it clobbers %g1 and uses
      __GET_CPUID.
      
      Many refinements are possible, as well as some tuning, with this stuff
      in place.

      [SPARC64]: Move away from virtual page tables, part 1. · 74bf4312
      David S. Miller 提交于
      We now use the TSB hardware assist features of the UltraSPARC
      MMUs.
      
      SMP is currently knowingly broken, we need to find another place
      to store the per-cpu base pointers.  We hid them away in the TSB
      base register, and that obviously will not work any more :-)
      
      Another known broken case is non-8KB base page size.
      
      Also noticed that flush_tlb_all() is not referenced anywhere, only
      the internal __flush_tlb_all() (local cpu only) is used by the
      sparc64 port, so we can get rid of flush_tlb_all().
      
      The kernel gets it's own 8KB TSB (swapper_tsb) and each address space
      gets it's own private 8K TSB.  Later we can add code to dynamically
      increase the size of per-process TSB as the RSS grows.  An 8KB TSB is
      good enough for up to about a 4MB RSS, after which the TSB starts to
      incur many capacity and conflict misses.
      
      We even accumulate OBP translations into the kernel TSB.
      
      Another area for refinement is large page size support.  We could use
      a secondary address space TSB to handle those.

      [PATCH] fix free swap cache latency · 6f5e6b9e
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Lee Revell reported 28ms latency when process with lots of swapped memory
      exits.
      
      2.6.15 introduced a latency regression when unmapping: in accounting the
      zap_work latency breaker, pte_none counted 1, pte_present PAGE_SIZE, but a
      swap entry counted nothing at all.  We think of pages present as the slow
      case, but Lee's trace shows that free_swap_and_cache's radix tree lookup
      can make a lot of work - and we could have been doing it many thousands of
      times without a latency break.
      
      Move the zap_work update up to account swap entries like pages present.
      This does account non-linear pte_file entries, and unmap_mapping_range
      skipping over swap entries, by the same amount even though they're quick:
      but neither of those cases deserves complicating the code (and they're
      treated no worse than they were in 2.6.14).

      [PATCH] dm stripe: Fix bounds · 8ba32fde
      Kevin Corry 提交于
      The dm-stripe target currently does not enforce that the size of a stripe
      device be a multiple of the chunk-size.  Under certain conditions, this can
      lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device.  This
      test-case shows one example.
      
      echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0
      echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1
      echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \
         dmsetup create stripe0
      dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1k
      
      This will produce the output:
      dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error
      97+0 records in
      96+0 records out
      
      And in the kernel log will be:
      attempt to access beyond end of device
      dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100
      
      The patch will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe
      chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped
      device from being created.
      
      This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can
      think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a
      multiple of the chunk-size.
      
      The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.
