      hugetlbfs: architecture header cleanup · 6d779079
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      This patch moves all architecture functions for hugetlb to architecture header
      files (include/asm-foo/hugetlb.h) and converts all macros to inline functions.
       It also removes (!) ARCH_HAS_HUGEPAGE_ONLY_RANGE,
      ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_FREE_PGD_RANGE, ARCH_HAS_PREPARE_HUGEPAGE_RANGE,
      ARCH_HAS_SETCLEAR_HUGE_PTE and ARCH_HAS_HUGETLB_PREFAULT_HOOK.
      
      Getting rid of the ARCH_HAS_xxx #ifdef and macro fugliness should increase
      readability and maintainability, at the price of some code duplication.  An
      asm-generic common part would have reduced the loc, but we would end up with
      new ARCH_HAS_xxx defines eventually.

      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.

      [PATCH] unify pfn_to_page: generic functions · a117e66e
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      There are 3 memory models, FLATMEM, DISCONTIGMEM, SPARSEMEM.
      Each arch has its own page_to_pfn(), pfn_to_page() for each models.
      But most of them can use the same arithmetic.
      
      This patch adds asm-generic/memory_model.h, which includes generic
      page_to_pfn(), pfn_to_page() definitions for each memory model.
      
      When CONFIG_OUT_OF_LINE_PFN_TO_PAGE=y, out-of-line functions are
      used instead of macro. This is enabled by some archs and  reduces
      text size.

      [PATCH] Hugepage consolidation · 63551ae0
      David Gibson 提交于
      A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar.  This patch
      attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
      combined version in mm/hugetlb.c.  There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
      order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
      reduction in the total amount of code.  It also means things like hugepage
      lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
      
      Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
      
      Notes:
      	- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
      	  analagous to set_pte()
      	- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
