      powerpc/mm: Cleanup handling of execute permission · ea3cc330
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute
      permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only
      defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
      #ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
      hopefully should cover everything.
      
      The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
      not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
      for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
      recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
      it already was in that area due to that change.
      
      I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
      permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
      some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
      I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
      the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
      and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
      VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
      execute permissions... Unless I missed something

      powerpc/mm: Split the various pgtable-* headers based on MMU type · c605782b
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch moves the definition of the PTE format for each MMU type
      to separate files instead of all in one file. This improves overall
      maintainability and will make it easier to add new types.
      
      On 64-bit, additionally, I've separated the headers relative to the
      format of the page table tree (3 vs. 4 levels for 64K vs 4K pages)
      from the headers specific to the PTE format for hash based processors,
      this will make it easier to add support for Book3 "E" 64-bit
      implementations.
      
      There are still some type-related ifdef's in the generic headers,
      we might remove them in the long run, but this patch shouldn't result
      in any code change, -hopefully- just definitions being moved around.
