      [POWERPC] Make tlb flush batch use lazy MMU mode · a741e679
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we
      lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs
      after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash
      entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems.
      
      This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather
      stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the
      paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu
      mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range
      of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given
      CPU before it drops that lock.
      
      We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush.
      
      Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and
      disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is
      always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen
      and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching
      is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will
      use the batch for that flush.

      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!
