W.r.t hugetlb, we support two format for pmd. With book3s_64 and 64K linux page size, we can have pte at the pmd level. Hence we don't need to support hugepd there. For everything else hugepd is supported and pmd_huge is (0).

The way VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET is not correct on book3e-64, because it does not account for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE other than via the 32-bit-only virt_phys_offset. book3e-64 can (and if the comment about a GCC miscompilation is still relevant, should) use the normal ppc64 __va/__pa. At this point, only booke-32 will use VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET, so given the issues with its calculation, restrict its definition to booke-32. Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of gcc as something like: addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top nibble. This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least. To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator, and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator. Using an AND operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add it on. (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.) CC: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

We allocate one page for the last level of linux page table. With THP and large page size of 16MB, that would mean we are wasting large part of that page. To map 16MB area, we only need a PTE space of 2K with 64K page size. This patch reduce the space wastage by sharing the page allocated for the last level of linux page table with multiple pmd entries. We call these smaller chunks PTE page fragments and allocated page, PTE page. In order to support systems which doesn't have 64K HPTE support, we also add another 2K to PTE page fragment. The second half of the PTE fragments is used for storing slot and secondary bit information of an HPTE. With this we now have a 4K PTE fragment. We use a simple approach to share the PTE page. On allocation, we bump the PTE page refcount to 16 and share the PTE page with the next 16 pte alloc request. This should help in the node locality of the PTE page fragment, assuming that the immediate pte alloc request will mostly come from the same NUMA node. We don't try to reuse the freed PTE page fragment. Hence we could be waisting some space.

We will be switching PMD_SHIFT to 24 bits to facilitate THP impmenetation. With PMD_SHIFT set to 24, we now have 16MB huge pages allocated at PGD level. That means with 32 bit process we cannot allocate normal pages at all, because we cover the entire address space with one pgd entry. Fix this by switching to a new page table format for hugepages. With the new page table format for 16GB and 16MB hugepages we won't allocate hugepage directory. Instead we encode the PTE information directly at the directory level. This forces 16MB hugepage at PMD level. This will also make the page take walk much simpler later when we add the THP support. With the new table format we have 4 cases for pgds and pmds: (1) invalid (all zeroes) (2) pointer to next table, as normal; bottom 6 bits == 0 (3) leaf pte for huge page, bottom two bits != 00 (4) hugepd pointer, bottom two bits == 00, next 4 bits indicate size of table Signed-off-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

We find the runtime address of _stext and relocate ourselves based on the following calculation. virtual_base = ALIGN(KERNELBASE,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE) + MODULO(_stext.run,KERNEL_TLB_PIN_SIZE) relocate() is called with the Effective Virtual Base Address (as shown below) | Phys. Addr| Virt. Addr | Page |------------------------| Boundary | | | | | | | | | Kernel Load |___________|_ __ _ _ _ _|<- Effective Addr(_stext)| | ^ |Virt. Base Addr | | | | | | | | | |reloc_offset| | | | | | | | | | |______v_____|<-(KERNELBASE)%TLB_SIZE | | | | | | | | | Page |-----------|------------| Boundary | | | On BookE, we need __va() & __pa() early in the boot process to access the device tree. Currently this has been defined as : #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) - PHYSICAL_START + KERNELBASE) where: PHYSICAL_START is kernstart_addr - a variable updated at runtime. KERNELBASE is the compile time Virtual base address of kernel. This won't work for us, as kernstart_addr is dynamic and will yield different results for __va()/__pa() for same mapping. e.g., Let the kernel be loaded at 64MB and KERNELBASE be 0xc0000000 (same as PAGE_OFFSET). In this case, we would be mapping 0 to 0xc0000000, and kernstart_addr = 64M Now __va(1MB) = (0x100000) - (0x4000000) + 0xc0000000 = 0xbc100000 , which is wrong. it should be : 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000 On platforms which support AMP, like PPC_47x (based on 44x), the kernel could be loaded at highmem. Hence we cannot always depend on the compile time constants for mapping. Here are the possible solutions: 1) Update kernstart_addr(PHSYICAL_START) to match the Physical address of compile time KERNELBASE value, instead of the actual Physical_Address(_stext). The disadvantage is that we may break other users of PHYSICAL_START. They could be replaced with __pa(_stext). 2) Redefine __va() & __pa() with relocation offset #ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) - PHYSICAL_START + (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET))) #define __pa(x) ((unsigned long)(x) + PHYSICAL_START - (KERNELBASE + RELOC_OFFSET)) #endif where, RELOC_OFFSET could be a) A variable, say relocation_offset (like kernstart_addr), updated at boot time. This impacts performance, as we have to load an additional variable from memory. OR b) #define RELOC_OFFSET ((PHYSICAL_START & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK) - \ (KERNELBASE & PPC_PIN_SIZE_OFFSET_MASK)) This introduces more calculations for doing the translation. 3) Redefine __va() & __pa() with a new variable i.e, #define __va(x) ((void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) + VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET)) where VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET : #ifdef CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 #define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET virt_phys_offset #else #define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET (KERNELBASE - PHYSICAL_START) #endif /* CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_PPC32 */ where virt_phy_offset is updated at runtime to : Effective KERNELBASE - kernstart_addr. Taking our example, above: virt_phys_offset = effective_kernelstart_vaddr - kernstart_addr = 0xc0400000 - 0x400000 = 0xc0000000 and __va(0x100000) = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000 = 0xc0100000 which is what we want. I have implemented (3) in the following patch which has same cost of operation as the existing one. I have tested the patches on 440x platforms only. However this should work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if somebody could test this on 47x. Signed-off-by: NSuzuki K.

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method. The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series. This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with smaller TLB size).

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low (16-64) on current processors. The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g. Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated). This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for 64-bit BooKE.

The following commit broke CONFIG_RELOCATABLE support on FSL Book-E parts: commit 549e8152 Author: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Date: Sat Aug 30 11:43:47 2008 +1000 powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable The change to __va and __pa to use PAGE_OFFSET & MEMORY_START causes problems on the Book-E parts because we don't know MEMORY_START until after we parse the device tree. We need __va to work properly to even parse the device tree so we have a chicken an egg. So go back to using he other definition of __va/__pa on CONFIG_BOOKE and use the PAGE_OFFSET/MEMORY_START version on "Classic" PPC64. Also updated casts to handle phys_addr_t being a different size from unsigned long (ie 36-bit physical on PPC32). Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page tables at a different level. Every hugepage aware path that needs to walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables accordingly. Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage sizes, more layout options and more mess. This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to reduce this complexity. In the new scheme, instead of having to consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables, and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the slice mask. This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for now we assume only one level exists. This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to know how the pagetables should be set out. All other (hugepage) pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go. There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage directory pointers, but it was only used for debug. We alter that flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear mapping). This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative. While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating) #defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.

This patch adds support for 256KB pages on ppc44x-based boards. For simplification of implementation with 256KB pages we still assume 2-level paging. As a side effect this leads to wasting extra memory space reserved for PTE tables: only 1/4 of pages allocated for PTEs are actually used. But this may be an acceptable trade-off to achieve the high performance we have with big PAGE_SIZEs in some applications (e.g. RAID). Also with 256KB PAGE_SIZE we increase THREAD_SIZE up to 32KB to minimize the risk of stack overflows in the cases of on-stack arrays, which size depends on the page size (e.g. multipage BIOs, NTFS, etc.). With 256KB PAGE_SIZE we need to decrease the PKMAP_ORDER at least down to 9, otherwise all high memory (2 ^ 10 * PAGE_SIZE == 256MB) we'll be occupied by PKMAP addresses leaving no place for vmalloc. We do not separate PKMAP_ORDER for 256K from 16K/64K PAGE_SIZE here; actually that value of 10 in support for 16K/64K had been selected rather intuitively. Thus now for all cases of PAGE_SIZE on ppc44x (including the default, 4KB, one) we have 512 pages for PKMAP. Because ELF standard supports only page sizes up to 64K, then you should use binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with '-zmax-page-size' set to 256K for building applications, which are to be run with the 256KB-page sized kernel. If using the older binutils, then you should patch them like follows: --- binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c.orig +++ binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c -#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x10000 +#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x40000 One more restriction we currently have with 256KB page sizes is inability to use shmem safely, so, for now, the 256KB is available only if you turn the CONFIG_SHMEM option off (another variant is to use BROKEN). Though, if you need shmem with 256KB pages, you can always remove the !SHMEM dependency in 'config PPC_256K_PAGES', and use the workaround available here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/19/20Signed-off-by: NYuri Tikhonov <yur@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: NIlya Yanok <yanok@emcraft.com> Signed-off-by: NJosh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This adds support for 16k and 64k page sizes on PowerPC 44x processors. The PGDIR table is much smaller than a page when using 16k or 64k pages (512 and 32 bytes respectively) so we allocate the PGDIR with kzalloc() instead of __get_free_pages(). One PTE table covers rather a large memory area when using 16k or 64k pages (32MB or 512MB respectively), so we can easily put FIXMAP and PKMAP in the area covered by one PTE table.

The second is due to the fact that the DMA code changes expose memstart_addr to prom_init.c Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Today's linux-next build (powerpc allyesconfig) failed like this: In file included from arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-hash64.h:17, from arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu.h:8, from arch/powerpc/include/asm/pgtable.h:8, from arch/powerpc/mm/slb.c:20: arch/powerpc/include/asm/page.h:76: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'memstart_addr' arch/powerpc/include/asm/page.h:77: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'kernstart_addr' Caused by commit 600715dc ("generic: add phys_addr_t for holding physical addresses") from the tip-core tree. This only fails if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set. So include that instead of asm/types.h in asm/page.h for the CONFIG_RELOCATABLE case.

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at, since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables, so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.) The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr), where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns 0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running at), which necessitated a few adjustments. This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet). With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical address 0 and run there. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.

Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and kdump). The support can be configured at compile time by setting CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as desired. Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. Setting this config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START. If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning. However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program header physical address field in the resulting ELF image. Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a multiple of 256M. This is due to how we map TLBs to cover lowmem. This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment in the future. It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a non-aligned physical address. All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings. ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. /dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

We can set LOAD_OFFSET and use the AT attribute on sections and the linker will properly set the physical address of the LOAD program header for us. This allows us to know how the PHYSICAL_START the user configured a kernel with by just looking at the resulting vmlinux ELF. This is pretty much stolen from how x86 does things in their linker scripts. Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> reported: 2.6.23-rc1 breaks the build for 64-bit powerpc for me (using maple_defconfig): LD vmlinux.o powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: dynreloc miscount for kernel/built-in.o, section .opd powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: can not edit opd Bad value make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1 However, I see a possibly related binutils patch: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/33650 It was tracked down to be caused by the weak prototype declaration in mm.h: __attribute__((weak)) const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma); But there is no need to make the declaration weak - only the definition needs to be marked weak. So drop the weak declaration. And in the process drop the duplicate definition in page.h for powerpc.

For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack, to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels). This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.
