There is no real need to have set_context() in assembly. Now that we have mtspr() handling CPU6 ERRATA directly, we can rewrite set_context() in C language for easier maintenance. Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <oss@buserror.net>

On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler. This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the non-idle time. Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and 85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93% are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on addresses from the virtual address space. MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is done on the 40x. In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add 4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR routine. This is just ignored by HW. In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page. With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.

We are spending between 40 and 160 cycles with a mean of 65 cycles in the DTLB handling routine (measured with mftbl) so make it more simple althought it adds one instruction. With this modification, we get three registers available at all time, which will help with following patch.

This patch implements PAGE_EXEC capability on the 8xx. All pages PP exec bits are set to 000, which means Execute for Supervisor and no Execute for User. Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to Page rules, "all Supervisor" rules (Exec for all) and "all User" rules (Exec for noone) Therefore, we define 4 APG groups. msb is _PAGE_EXEC, lsb is _PAGE_USER. MI_AP is initialised as follows: GP0 (00) => Not User, no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user) GP1 (01) => User but no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user) GP2 (10) => Not User, exec => 01 (rights according to page definition) GP3 (11) => User, exec => 00 (all accesses performed as supervisor) Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> [scottwood: comments: s/exec/data/ on data side, and s/pages/pages'/] Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

Use of APG for handling PAGE_USER. All pages PP exec bits are set to either 000 or 011, which means respectively RW for Supervisor and no access for User, or RO for Supervisor and no access for user. Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to Page rules or "all Supervisor" rules (Access to all) Therefore, we define 2 APG groups corresponding to _PAGE_USER. Mx_AP are initialised as follows: GP0 => No user => 01 (all accesses performed according to page definition) GP1 => User => 00 (all accesses performed as supervisor according to page definition) This removes the special 8xx handling in pte_update() Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

By default, TASK_SIZE is set to 0x80000000 for PPC_8xx, which is most likely sufficient for most cases. However, kernel configuration allows to set TASK_SIZE to another value, so the 8xx shall handle it. This patch also takes into account the case of PAGE_OFFSET lower than 0x80000000, allthought most of the time it is equal to 0xC0000000 Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

CR only needs to be preserved when checking if we are handling a kernel address. So we can preserve CR in a register: - In ITLBMiss, check is done only when CONFIG_MODULES is defined. Otherwise we don't need to do anything at all with CR. - We use r10, then we reload SRR0/MD_EPN into r10 when CR is restored Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

Kernel MMU handling code handles validity of entries via _PMD_PRESENT which corresponds to V bit in MD_TWC and MI_TWC. When the V bit is not set, MPC8xx triggers TLBError exception. So we don't have to check that and branch ourself to TLBError. We can set TLB entries with non present entries, remove all those tests and let the 8xx handle it. This reduce the number of cycle when the entries are valid which is the case most of the time, and doesn't significantly increase the time for handling invalid entries.

8xx sometimes need to load a invalid/non-present TLBs in it DTLB asm handler. These must be invalidated separaly as linux mm doesn't. Commit 5efab4a0 was invalidating them in arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c. This patch does the invalidation earlier in order to free the TLB as soon as possible. This also has the advantage of removing some 8xx specific code from fault.c Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

Activating CONFIG_PIN_TLB is supposed to pin the IMMR and the first three 8Mbytes pages. But the setting of MD_CTR to a pinnable entry was missing before the pinning of the third 8Mb page. As the index is decremented module 28 (MD_RSV4D is set) after every DTLB update, the third 8Mbytes page was not pinned.
