      MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself · 4b3073e1
      Russell King 提交于
      On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
      in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
      copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
      uncacheable.
      
      This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
      now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
      for modification via update_mmu_cache().
      
      Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
      update_mmu_cache():
      
        On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
        to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
        more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
        pte_t?
      
      Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:
      
        Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
        -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
        for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
        _PAGE_EXEC.
      
      So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
      remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
      suit.

      [XTENSA] Add support for cache-aliasing · 6656920b
      Chris Zankel 提交于
      Add support for processors that have cache-aliasing issues, such as
      the Stretch S5000 processor. Cache-aliasing means that the size of
      the cache (for one way) is larger than the page size, thus, a page
      can end up in several places in cache depending on the virtual to
      physical translation. The method used here is to map a user page
      temporarily through the auto-refill way 0 and of of the DTLB.
      We probably will want to revisit this issue and use a better
      approach with kmap/kunmap.
