      sparc64: Support transparent huge pages. · 9e695d2e
      David Miller 提交于
      This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.
      
      Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding.  The
      lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation.  This is possible
      because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
      whatever encoding scheme we want.  We just have to make the TLB miss
      assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.
      
      set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
      page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
      based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table.  In the second regime
      we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
      only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.
      
      We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
      likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
      in the future.
      
      With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

      mm: hugetlb: add arch hook for clearing page flags before entering pool · 5d3a551c
      Will Deacon 提交于
      The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
      pages via free_pages_check.  A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
      rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
      cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
      userspace.
      
      This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
      since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
      allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
      pool.
      
      This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
      that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
      state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
      is freed into the pool.

      sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/include · a439fe51
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      The majority of this patch was created by the following script:
      
      ***
      ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
      mkdir -p $ASM
      git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
      git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
      git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
      sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
      sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
      ***
      
      The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
      for header files when sparc64 is being build.
      And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
      sparc64 code.

      sparc: copy sparc64 specific files to asm-sparc · a00736e9
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Used the following script to copy the files:
      cd include
      set -e
      SPARC64=`ls asm-sparc64`
      for FILE in ${SPARC64}; do
      	if [ -f asm-sparc/$FILE ]; then
