Today powerpc64 uses a set of pgtable_caches while powerpc32 uses standard pages when using 4k pages and a single pgtable_cache if using other size pages. In preparation of implementing huge pages on the 8xx, this patch replaces the specific powerpc32 handling by the 64 bits approach. This is done by: * moving 64 bits pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init() in a new file called init-common.c * modifying pgtable_cache_init() to also handle the case without PMD * removing the 32 bits version of pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init() * copying related header contents from 64 bits into both the book3s/32 and nohash/32 header files On the 8xx, the following cache sizes will be used: * 4k pages mode: - PGT_CACHE(10) for PGD - PGT_CACHE(3) for 512k hugepage tables * 16k pages mode: - PGT_CACHE(6) for PGD - PGT_CACHE(7) for 512k hugepage tables - PGT_CACHE(3) for 8M hugepage tables Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Reviewed-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <oss@buserror.net>

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok __init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref. Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485 ("Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst") This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces them treewide. /* compatibility defines */ #define __init_refok __ref #define __initdata_refok __refdata #define __exit_refok __ref I can also provide separate patches if necessary.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window hopefully. Motivation: While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is documented as * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop for ever. This is not implemented right now though. I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic for it. $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l 111 $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 36 So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later after all the simple ones are sorted out. I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from arch maintainers. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 19): __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0 allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail). Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

We have a powerpc specific global called mem_init_done which is "set on boot once kmalloc can be called". But that's not *quite* true. We set it at the bottom of mem_init(), and rely on the fact that mm_init() calls kmem_cache_init() immediately after that, and nothing is running in parallel.

There is no barrier between something like ioremap() writing to a PTE, and returning the value to a caller that may then store the pointer in a place that is visible to other CPUs. Such callers generally don't perform barriers of their own. Even if callers of ioremap() and similar things did use barriers, the most logical choise would be smp_wmb(), which is not architecturally sufficient when BookE hardware tablewalk is used. A full sync is specified by the architecture. For userspace mappings, OTOH, we generally already have an lwsync due to locking, and if we occasionally take a spurious fault due to not having a full sync with hardware tablewalk, it will not be fatal because we will retry rather than oops.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

The Nintendo Wii video game console has two discontiguous RAM regions: - MEM1: 24MB @ 0x00000000 - MEM2: 64MB @ 0x10000000 Unfortunately, the kernel currently does not support discontiguous RAM memory regions on 32-bit PowerPC platforms. This patch adds a series of workarounds to allow the use of the second memory region (MEM2) as RAM by the kernel. Basically, a single range of memory from the beginning of MEM1 to the end of MEM2 is reported to the kernel, and a memory reservation is created for the hole between MEM1 and MEM2. With this patch the system is able to use all the available RAM and not just ~27% of it. This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

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...

Make FIXADDR_TOP a compile time constant and cleanup a couple of definitions relative to the layout of the kernel address space on ppc32. We also print out that layout at boot time for debugging purposes. This is a pre-requisite for properly fixing non-coherent DMA allocactions.

This patch tweaks the way some PTE bit combinations are defined, in such a way that the 32 and 64-bit variant become almost identical and that will make it easier to bring in a new common pte-* file for the new variant of the Book3-E support. The combination of bits defining access to kernel pages are now clearly separated from the combination used by userspace and the core VM. The resulting generated code should remain identical unless I made a mistake. Note: While at it, I removed a non-sensical statement related to CONFIG_KGDB in ppc_mmu_32.c which could cause kernel mappings to be user accessible when that option is enabled. Probably something that bitrot. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This adds the necessary bits and pieces to powerpc implementation of ioremap to benefit from caller tracking in /proc/vmallocinfo, at least for ioremap's done after mem init as the older ones aren't tracked. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Fixed v_mapped_by_tlbcam() and p_mapped_by_tlbcam() to use phys_addr_t instead of unsigned long. In 36-bit physical mode we really need these functions to deal with phys_addr_t when trying to match a physical address or when returning one. Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

The clear_fixmap() routine issues map_page() with flags set to 0. Currently this causes a BUG_ON() inside the map_page(), as it assumes that a PTE should be clear before mapping. This patch makes the map_page() to trigger the BUG_ON() only if the flags were set.

This adds support for 16k and 64k page sizes on PowerPC 44x processors. The PGDIR table is much smaller than a page when using 16k or 64k pages (512 and 32 bytes respectively) so we allocate the PGDIR with kzalloc() instead of __get_free_pages(). One PTE table covers rather a large memory area when using 16k or 64k pages (32MB or 512MB respectively), so we can easily put FIXMAP and PKMAP in the area covered by one PTE table.

Add the ability for a classic ppc kernel to be loaded at an address of 32MB. This done by fixing a few places that assume we are loaded at address 0, and by changing several uses of KERNELBASE to use PAGE_OFFSET, instead.
