      CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables. · 2f569afd
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      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.

      asm-*/posix_types.h: scrub __GLIBC__ · 531d7d42

      aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT · 7fa30315
      David Howells 提交于
      Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
      
      Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
      be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case.  Not
      only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
      
      To make this work, this patch also does the following:
      
       (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
           CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
      
       (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
           core dumping code.
      
       (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline.  This
           is then included only where needed.  This means that this bit of arch
           code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
           the core kernel.
      
       (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
           needed) and FRV.
      
      This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
      asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
      format is available.

      [SPARC64]: Fix two kernel linear mapping setup bugs. · 8f361453
      David S. Miller 提交于
      This was caught and identified by Greg Onufer.
      
      Since we setup the 256M/4M bitmap table after taking over the trap
      table, it's possible for some 4M mapping to get loaded in the TLB
      beforhand which later will be 256M mappings.
      
      This can cause illegal TLB multiple-match conditions.  Fix this by
      setting up the bitmap before we take over the trap table.
      
      Next, __flush_tlb_all() was not doing anything on hypervisor
      platforms.  Fix by adding sun4v_mmu_demap_all() and calling it.

      This was found by make randconfig
      
      If the kernel .text is very large, the .fixup section branches
      are too far away to be relocated correctly.
      
      Use "sethi %hi(label), reg; jmpl reg + %lo(label); %g0" sequence
      instead of the branch to fix this.
      
      There is another case in switch_to() involving a branch, which
      is fixed similarly.

      Change table chaining layout · 18dabf47
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
      long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:
      
      - Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
        at sg + 1.
      - Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
        with the two low bits masked off.
      - Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
        NULL when passed such an entry.
      
      It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
      and set the page member.
