      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
      
      Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
      will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
      freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
      
      Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
      virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
      page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
      RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
      entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
      we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
      
      The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
      too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
      almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
      argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

      sh: Flush only the needed range when unmapping a VMA. · c2035184
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      This follows the ARM change from Aaro Koskinen:
      
      	When unmapping N pages (e.g. shared memory) the amount of TLB
      	flushes done can be (N*PAGE_SIZE/ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE)*N although it
      	should be N at maximum. With PREEMPT kernel ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE is 8
      	pages, so there is a noticeable performance penalty when
      	unmapping a large VMA and the system is spending its time in
      	flush_tlb_range().
      
      	The problem is that tlb_end_vma() is always flushing the full VMA
      	range. The subrange that needs to be flushed can be calculated by
      	tlb_remove_tlb_entry(). This approach was suggested by Hugh
      	Dickins, and is also used by other arches.
      
      	The speed increase is roughly 3x for 8M mappings and for larger
      	mappings even more.
      
      Bits and peices are taken from the ARM patch as well as the existing
      arch/um implementation that is quite similar.
      
      The end result is a significant reduction in both partial and full TLB
      flushes initiated through flush_tlb_range().
      
      At the same time, the nommu implementation was broken, had a superfluous
      cache flush, and subsequently would have triggered a BUG_ON() if a
      code-path had triggered it. Tidy this up for correctness and provide a
      nopped-out implementation there.

      sh: asm/tlb.h needs linux/pagemap.h for CONFIG_SWAP=n. · bb7de070
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      linux/swap.h really wants to include linux/pagemap.h in order to satisfy
      the page_cache_release()/release_pages() definition requirements when
      CONFIG_SWAP=n. Unfortunately the code in question contains:
      
      	/* only sparc can not include linux/pagemap.h in this file
      	 * so leave page_cache_release and release_pages undeclared... */
      	#define free_page_and_swap_cache(page) \
      		page_cache_release(page)
      	#define free_pages_and_swap_cache(pages, nr) \
      		release_pages((pages), (nr), 0);
      
      so it looks like we're stuck with doing it in asm/tlb.h instead, as
      others already do (ARM, CRIS, etc.). Grumble.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
