Impact: cleanup, code robustization The __swp_...() macros silently relied upon which bits are used for _PAGE_FILE and _PAGE_PROTNONE. After having changed _PAGE_PROTNONE in our Xen kernel to no longer overlap _PAGE_PAT, live locks and crashes were reported that could have been avoided if these macros properly used the symbolic constants. Since, as pointed out earlier, for Xen Dom0 support mainline likewise will need to eliminate the conflict between _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PROTNONE, this patch does all the necessary adjustments, plus it introduces a mechanism to check consistency between MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT and the actual encoding macros. This also fixes a latent bug in that x86-64 used a 6-bit mask in __swp_type(), and if MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT was increased beyond 5 in (the seemingly unrelated) linux/swap.h, this would have resulted in a collision with _PAGE_FILE. Non-PAE 32-bit code gets similarly adjusted for its pte_to_pgoff() and pgoff_to_pte() calculations. Signed-off-by: NJan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Use one of the software-defined PTE bits to indicate that a mapping is intended for an IO address. On native hardware this is irrelevent, since a physical address is a physical address. But in a virtual environment, physical addresses are also virtualized, so there needs to be some way to distinguish between pseudo-physical addresses and actual hardware addresses; _PAGE_IOMAP indicates this intent. By default, __supported_pte_mask masks out _PAGE_IOMAP, so it doesn't even appear in the final pagetable.

pte_pfn() has always been of type unsigned long, even on 32-bit PAE; but in the current tip/next/mm tree it works out to be unsigned long long on 64-bit, which gives an irritating warning if you try to printk a pfn with the usual %lx. Now use the same pte_pfn() function, moved from pgtable-3level.h to pgtable.h, for all models: as suggested by Jeremy Fitzhardinge. And pte_page() can well move along with it (remaining a macro to avoid dependence on mm_types.h).

Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants should have a name which somewhat accurately reflects the actual purpose of the constant. Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the problem is. But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Older x86-32 processors do not support global mappings (PGD), so must only use it if the processor supports it. The _PAGE_KERNEL* flags always have _PAGE_KERNEL set, since logically we always want it set. This is OK even on processors which do not support PGD, since all _PAGE flags are masked with __supported_pte_mask before being turned into a real in-pagetable pte. On 32-bit systems, __supported_pte_mask is initialized to not contain _PAGE_GLOBAL, and it is then added if the CPU is found to support it. The x86-32 code used to use __PAGE_KERNEL/__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for this purpose, but they're now redundant and can be removed.

Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to /proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the kernel will run slower. This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how many are split. Useful for general insight into the kernel. v2: Add hotplug locking to 64bit to plug a very obscure theoretical race. 32bit doesn't need it because it doesn't support hotadd for lowmem.

Rather than making _PAGE_* constants signed, and then relying on sign-extension to make sure that masks derived from them are wide enough, just explicitly type them pteval_t. This guarantees that they and any derived values are the right size for the current pte format. The reliance on sign extension is fragile, and invokes some very subtle corners of the C type system.

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted: vm_normal_page() { ... if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) { if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; #else if (!pfn_valid(pfn)) return NULL; #endif goto out; } ... } This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get slightly better code generation in the process): vm_normal_page() { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; return pte_page(pte); #else ... #endif } And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this. Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate. So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any compiled code changes to mm/memory.o. BTW: I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion. The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function -- the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions, while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined for 32-bit. There are a couple of follow-on changes from this: - KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS. The definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64, since it can have two different user address-space configurations. I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations. - USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar purposes. Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it completely unused, and so I removed it.
