This is needed so that we can support both hash and radix page table using single kernel. Radix kernel uses a 4 level table. We now use physical address in upper page table tree levels. Even though they are aligned to their size, for the masked bits we use the bit positions as per PowerISA 3.0.

Currently the FPU, VEC and VSX facilities are lazily loaded. This is not a problem unless a process is using these facilities. Modern versions of GCC are very good at automatically vectorising code, new and modernised workloads make use of floating point and vector facilities, even the kernel makes use of vectorised memcpy. All this combined greatly increases the cost of a syscall since the kernel uses the facilities sometimes even in syscall fast-path making it increasingly common for a thread to take an *_unavailable exception soon after a syscall, not to mention potentially taking all three. The obvious overcompensation to this problem is to simply always load all the facilities on every exit to userspace. Loading up all FPU, VEC and VSX registers every time can be expensive and if a workload does avoid using them, it should not be forced to incur this penalty. An 8bit counter is used to detect if the registers have been used in the past and the registers are always loaded until the value wraps to back to zero. Several versions of the assembly in entry_64.S were tested: 1. Always calling C. 2. Performing a common case check and then calling C. 3. A complex check in asm. After some benchmarking it was determined that avoiding C in the common case is a performance benefit (option 2). The full check in asm (option 3) greatly complicated that codepath for a negligible performance gain and the trade-off was deemed not worth it.

htab_get_table_size() either retrieve the size of the hash page table (HPT) from the device tree - if the HPT size is determined by firmware - or uses a heuristic to determine a good size based on RAM size if the kernel is responsible for allocating the HPT. To support a PAPR extension allowing resizing of the HPT, we're going to want the memory size -> HPT size logic elsewhere, so split it out into a helper function.

At the moment the hpte_removebolted callback in ppc_md returns void and will BUG_ON() if the hpte it's asked to remove doesn't exist in the first place. This is awkward for the case of cleaning up a mapping which was partially made before failing. So, we add a return value to hpte_removebolted, and have it return ENOENT in the case that the HPTE to remove didn't exist in the first place. In the (sole) caller, we propagate errors in hpte_removebolted to its caller to handle. However, we handle ENOENT specially, continuing to complete the unmapping over the specified range before returning the error to the caller. This means that htab_remove_mapping() will work sanely on a partially present mapping, removing any HPTEs which are present, while also returning ENOENT to its caller in case it's important there. There are two callers of htab_remove_mapping(): - In remove_section_mapping() we already WARN_ON() any error return, which is reasonable - in this case the mapping should be fully present - In vmemmap_remove_mapping() we BUG_ON() any error. We change that to just a WARN_ON() in the case of ENOENT, since failing to remove a mapping that wasn't there in the first place probably shouldn't be fatal.

This frees up bits 57-63 in the Linux PTE on 64-bit Book 3S machines. In the 4k page case, this is done just by reducing the size of the RPN field to 39 bits, giving 51-bit real addresses. In the 64k page case, we had 10 unused bits in the middle of the PTE, so this moves the RPN field down 10 bits to make use of those unused bits. This means the RPN field is now 3 bits larger at 37 bits, giving 53-bit real addresses in the normal case, or 49-bit real addresses for the special 4k PFN case. We are doing this in order to be able to move some other PTE bits into the positions where PowerISA V3.0 processors will expect to find them in radix-tree mode. Ultimately we will be able to move the RPN field to lower bit positions and make it larger. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

On powerpc, acquire and release semantics can be achieved with lightweight barriers("lwsync" and "ctrl+isync"), which can be used to implement __atomic_op_{acquire,release}. For release semantics, since we only need to ensure all memory accesses that issue before must take effects before the -store- part of the atomics, "lwsync" is what we only need. On the platform without "lwsync", "sync" should be used. Therefore in __atomic_op_release() we use PPC_RELEASE_BARRIER. For acquire semantics, "lwsync" is what we only need for the similar reason. However on the platform without "lwsync", we can use "isync" rather than "sync" as an acquire barrier. Therefore in __atomic_op_acquire() we use PPC_ACQUIRE_BARRIER, which is barrier() on UP, "lwsync" if available and "isync" otherwise. Implement atomic{,64}_{add,sub,inc,dec}_return_relaxed, and build other variants with these helpers.

With ppc64 we use the deposited pgtable_t to store the hash pte slot information. We should not withdraw the deposited pgtable_t without marking the pmd none. This ensure that low level hash fault handling will skip this huge pte and we will handle them at upper levels. Recent change to pmd splitting changed the above in order to handle the race between pmd split and exit_mmap. The race is explained below. Consider following race: CPU0 CPU1 shrink_page_list() add_to_swap() split_huge_page_to_list() __split_huge_pmd_locked() pmdp_huge_clear_flush_notify() // pmd_none() == true exit_mmap() unmap_vmas() zap_pmd_range() // no action on pmd since pmd_none() == true pmd_populate() As result the THP will not be freed. The leak is detected by check_mm(): BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880058d2e580 idx:1 val:512 The above required us to not mark pmd none during a pmd split. The fix for ppc is to clear the huge pte of _PAGE_USER, so that low level fault handling code skip this pte. At higher level we do take ptl lock. That should serialze us against the pmd split. Once the lock is acquired we do check the pmd again using pmd_same. That should always return false for us and hence we should retry the access. We do the pmd_same check in all case after taking plt with THP (do_huge_pmd_wp_page, do_huge_pmd_numa_page and huge_pmd_set_accessed) Also make sure we wait for irq disable section in other cpus to finish before flipping a huge pte entry with a regular pmd entry. Code paths like find_linux_pte_or_hugepte depend on irq disable to get a stable pte_t pointer. A parallel thp split need to make sure we don't convert a pmd pte to a regular pmd entry without waiting for the irq disable section to finish.

However, we could get stale cached primary bus and run into kernel crash in one case: full hotplug as part of fenced PHB error recovery releases all PCI busses under the PHB at unplugging time and recreate them at plugging time. pe->bus is still dereferencing the PCI bus that was released. This adds another PE flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) to represent the validity of pe->bus. pe->bus is updated when its first child EEH device is online and the flag is set.

In current implementation, when VF BAR is bigger than 64MB, it uses 4 M64 BARs in Single PE mode to cover the number of VFs required to be enabled. By doing so, several VFs would be in one VF Group and leads to interference between VFs in the same group. And in this patch, m64_wins is renamed to m64_map, which means index number of the M64 BAR used to map the VF BAR. Based on Gavin's comments. Also makes sure the VF BAR size is bigger than 32MB when M64 BAR is used in Single PE mode. This patch changes the design by using one M64 BAR in Single PE mode for one VF BAR.

The four cpumasks cpu_{possible,online,present,active}_bits are exposed readonly via the corresponding const variables cpu_xyz_mask. But they are also accessible for arbitrary writing via the exposed functions set_cpu_xyz. There's quite a bit of code throughout the kernel which iterates over or otherwise accesses these bitmaps, and having the access go via the cpu_xyz_mask variables is nowadays [1] simply a useless indirection. It may be that any problem in CS can be solved by an extra level of indirection, but that doesn't mean every extra indirection solves a problem. In this case, it even necessitates some minor ugliness (see 4/6). Patch 1/6 is new in v2, and fixes a build failure on ppc by renaming a struct member, to avoid problems when the identifier cpu_online_mask becomes a macro later in the series. The next four patches eliminate the cpu_xyz_mask variables by simply exposing the actual bitmaps, after renaming them to discourage direct access - that still happens through cpu_xyz_mask, which are now simply macros with the same type and value as they used to have. After that, there's no longer any reason to have the setter functions be out-of-line: The boolean parameter is almost always a literal true or false, so by making them static inlines they will usually compile to one or two instructions. For a defconfig build on x86_64, bloat-o-meter says we save ~3000 bytes. We also save a little stack (stackdelta says 127 functions have a 16 byte smaller stack frame, while two grow by that amount). Mostly because, when iterating over the mask, gcc typically loads the value of cpu_xyz_mask into a callee-saved register and from there into %rdi before each find_next_bit call - now it can just load the appropriate immediate address into %rdi before each call. [1] See Rusty's kind explanation http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2047078/focus=2047722 for some historic context. This patch (of 6): As preparation for eliminating the indirect access to the various global cpu_*_bits bitmaps via the pointer variables cpu_*_mask, rename the cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header to simply online_mask, thus allowing cpu_online_mask to become a macro.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory, PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory. The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into 4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type. The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new _PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active. Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references against the device driver established page mapping. Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new "struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page allocator. This patch (of 18): The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

MADV_FREE needs pmd_dirty and pmd_mkclean for detecting recent overwrite of the contents since MADV_FREE syscall is called for THP page.

With new refcounting we don't need to mark PMDs splitting. Let's drop code to handle this. pmdp_splitting_flush() is not needed too: on splitting PMD we will do pmdp_clear_flush() + set_pte_at(). pmdp_clear_flush() will do IPI as needed for fast_gup.
