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.

We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead of a full page. This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB. What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the mm struct. This logic triggers only on allocations. For example, we don't try to keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port does. There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change: 1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *". There's all of this special logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the PMD populate interfaces. 2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct just gets copied from the parent on fork.

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page support. Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB. The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page. We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures that this requirement is always met. There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

Narrowing the scope of the page size configurations will make the transparent hugepage changes much simpler.

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.

This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4. We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero. As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte subblock of the L2 cache line, it works. As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost at least 50 cycles. For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the Niagara-1 variants instead. Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable way. A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles. Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store ASIs. By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least Recently Used. If we know we're going to use the data immediately (which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being evicted before they get used.

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note. Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or linux/compat.h. Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by __compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h to asm/compat.h.

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific architectures. We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the personality flags across exec(). This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently by commits f9783ec8 ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on exec") and 59e4c3a2 ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on exec") in a similar way already).

After fixing a couple of brainos, it even seems to work. What's done here is move of ->syscall_noerror right before FPDEPTH byte in ->flags and using sth to [%g6 + TI_SYS_NOERROR] instead of stb to [%g6 + TI_FPDEPTH] in both branches of etrap_save. AFAICS, that ought to be solid. Again, deciding what to do with now unused delay slot of branch on ->syscall_noerror and dealing with the order of tests in ret_from_sys is a separate question, but at least that way we don't have to clean ->syscall_noerror in there at all. AFAICS, it ought to be a clear win - sth is not going to cost more than stb on etrap_64.S side of things, and we are losing write on syscalls.S one.

This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support. The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile() directly and avoids set_fs(). The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers for powerpc to handle the u32->int type conversion. compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system. On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile. Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: NDavid S.
