      [POWERPC] Use 1TB segments · 1189be65
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
      user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
      (currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).
      
      We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
      ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.
      
      We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
      that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
      unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments.  That
      would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
      keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
      and is not addressed here.
      
      Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

      [POWERPC] Rewrite IO allocation & mapping on powerpc64 · 3d5134ee
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO
      space allocations on powerpc64.  The main goals are:
      
       - Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible
       - Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and
         mapped in a single place for PCI bridges
       - Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including
         hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports,
         so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers
         that assume IO ports fit in an int.
       - Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved
         low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there.
      
      I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so
      far, that's it :-)
      
      With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in
      mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with
      explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate
      areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs.
      
      This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the
      diffstat of that patch :-)
      
      A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace
      all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space.
      The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from
      scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after,
      which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI
      hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots).
      
      imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive
      that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation
      is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB
      (which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear
      down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space.
      
      I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with
      the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate
      file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of
      hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge.
      
      This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs
      will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have
      worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers
      that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper
      function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.

      [POWERPC] Cleanup and fix breakage in tlbflush.h · 62102307
      David Gibson 提交于
      BenH's commit a741e679 in powerpc.git,
      although (AFAICT) only intended to affect ppc64, also has side-effects
      which break 44x.  I think 40x, 8xx and Freescale Book E are also
      affected, though I haven't tested them.
      
      The problem lies in unconditionally removing flush_tlb_pending() from
      the versions of flush_tlb_mm(), flush_tlb_range() and
      flush_tlb_kernel_range() used on ppc64 - which are also used the
      embedded platforms mentioned above.
      
      The patch below cleans up the convoluted #ifdef logic in tlbflush.h,
      in the process restoring the necessary flushes for the software TLB
      platforms.  There are three sets of definitions for the flushing
      hooks: the software TLB versions (revised to avoid using names which
      appear to related to TLB batching), the 32-bit hash based versions
      (external functions) amd the 64-bit hash based versions (which
      implement batching).
      
      It also moves the declaration of update_mmu_cache() to always be in
      tlbflush.h (previously it was in tlbflush.h except for PPC64, where it
      was in pgtable.h).
      
      Booted on Ebony (440GP) and compiled for 64-bit and 32-bit
      multiplatform.

      [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.

      [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages · 3c726f8d
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
      base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
      hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
      will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
      
      Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
      will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
      still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
      information from the newer hypervisors.
