      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.

      sparc64: Document PGD and PMD layout. · dbc9fdf0
      David Miller 提交于
      We're going to be messing around with the PMD interpretation and layout
      for the sake of transparent huge pages, so we better clearly document what
      we're starting with.

      sparc64: Halve the size of PTE tables · 56a70b8c
      David Miller 提交于
      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.

      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.

      [SPARC64]: Get DEBUG_PAGEALLOC working again. · d1acb421
      David S. Miller 提交于
      We have to make sure to use base-pagesize TLB entries even during the
      early transition period where we need TLB miss handling but don't have
      the kernel page tables setup yet for the linear region.
      
      Also, it is necessary therefore to not use the 4MB TSB for these
      translations, and instead use the normal kernel TSB.  This allows us
      to also get rid of the 4MB tsb for debug builds which shrinks the
      kernel a little bit.
