CONFIG_PIN_TLB maps IMMR area and the first 24 Mbytes of memory. In some circunstances it might be more interesting to not map IMMR but map 32 Mbytes of memory instead. Therefore we add config option CONFIG_PIN_TLB_IMMR to select if IMMR shall be pinned or not, hence whether we pin 24 or 32 Mbytes of RAM Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <oss@buserror.net>

On recent kernels, with some debug options like for instance CONFIG_LOCKDEP, the BSS requires more than 8M memory, allthough the kernel code fits in the first 8M. Today, it is necessary to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB to get more than 8M at startup, allthough pinning TLB is not necessary for that. We could have inconditionaly mapped 16 or 24M bytes at startup but some old hardware only have 8M and mapping non-existing RAM would be an issue due to speculative accesses. With the preceding patch however, the TLB entries are populated on demand. By setting up the TLB miss handler to handle up to 24M until the handler is patched for the entire memory space, it is possible to allow access up to more memory without mapping non-existing RAM. It is therefore not needed anymore to map memory data at all at startup. It will be handled by the TLB miss handler. One might still want to PIN the IMMR and the first 24M of RAM. It is now possible to do it in the C memory initialisation functions. In addition, we now know how much memory we have when we do it, so we are able to adapt the pining to the real amount of memory available. So boards with less than 24M can now also benefit from PIN_TLB. Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <oss@buserror.net>

Instead of using the first level page table to define mappings for the linear memory space, we can use direct mapping from the TLB handling routines. This has several advantages: * No need to read the tables at each TLB miss * No issue in 16k pages mode where the 1st level table maps 64 Mbytes The size of the available linear space is known at system startup. In order to avoid data access at each TLB miss to know the memory size, the TLB routine is patched at startup with the proper size This patch provides a 10%-15% improvment of TLB miss handling for kernel addresses Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <oss@buserror.net>

Once the linear memory space has been mapped with 8Mb pages, as seen in the related commit, we get 11 millions DTLB missed during the reference 600s period. 77% of the misses are on user addresses and 23% are on kernel addresses (1 fourth for linear address space and 3 fourth for virtual address space) Traditionaly, each driver manages one computer board which has its own components with its own memory maps. But on embedded chips like the MPC8xx, the SOC has all registers located in the same IO area. When looking at ioremaps done during startup, we see that many drivers are re-mapping small parts of the IMMR for their own use and all those small pieces gets their own 4k page, amplifying the number of TLB misses: in our system we get 0xff000000 mapped 31 times and 0xff003000 mapped 9 times. Even if each part of IMMR was mapped only once with 4k pages, it would still be several small mappings towards linear area. This patch maps the IMMR with a single 512k page. With this patch applied, the number of DTLB misses during the 10 min period is reduced to 11.8 millions for a duration of 5.8s, which represents 2% of the non-idle time hence yet another 10% reduction.

On most mpc8xx boards it is OK as IMMR is set to 0xff000000 but for instance on EP88xC board, IMMR is at 0xfa200000 which overlaps with VM ioremap area This patch fixes the virtual address for remapping IMMR with the fixmap regardless of the value of IMMR. The size of IMMR area is 256kbytes (CPM at offset 0, security engine at offset 128k) so a 512k page is enough Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <oss@buserror.net>

On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler. This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the non-idle time. Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and 85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93% are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on addresses from the virtual address space. MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is done on the 40x. In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add 4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR routine. This is just ignored by HW. In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page. With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.

This patch implements PAGE_EXEC capability on the 8xx. All pages PP exec bits are set to 000, which means Execute for Supervisor and no Execute for User. Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to Page rules, "all Supervisor" rules (Exec for all) and "all User" rules (Exec for noone) Therefore, we define 4 APG groups. msb is _PAGE_EXEC, lsb is _PAGE_USER. MI_AP is initialised as follows: GP0 (00) => Not User, no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user) GP1 (01) => User but no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user) GP2 (10) => Not User, exec => 01 (rights according to page definition) GP3 (11) => User, exec => 00 (all accesses performed as supervisor) Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> [scottwood: comments: s/exec/data/ on data side, and s/pages/pages'/] Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

Use of APG for handling PAGE_USER. All pages PP exec bits are set to either 000 or 011, which means respectively RW for Supervisor and no access for User, or RO for Supervisor and no access for user. Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to Page rules or "all Supervisor" rules (Access to all) Therefore, we define 2 APG groups corresponding to _PAGE_USER. Mx_AP are initialised as follows: GP0 => No user => 01 (all accesses performed according to page definition) GP1 => User => 00 (all accesses performed as supervisor according to page definition) This removes the special 8xx handling in pte_update() Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

Kernel MMU handling code handles validity of entries via _PMD_PRESENT which corresponds to V bit in MD_TWC and MI_TWC. When the V bit is not set, MPC8xx triggers TLBError exception. So we don't have to check that and branch ourself to TLBError. We can set TLB entries with non present entries, remove all those tests and let the 8xx handle it. This reduce the number of cycle when the entries are valid which is the case most of the time, and doesn't significantly increase the time for handling invalid entries.
