      [POWERPC] Provide a way to protect 4k subpages when using 64k pages · fa28237c
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for
emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a
smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and
the normal system calls for controlling page protections.  Of course,
the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping
the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty
slow.

This provides a facility for such programs to control the access
permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages.  The idea is
that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a
specified range of virtual addresses.  These masks are applied at the
level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table
based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected.  Note
that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise
be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be
allowed.  This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and
only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages.

The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which
takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array
of protection masks in memory.  The array has a 32-bit word per 64k
page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields,
for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents
write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access.

Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are
protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k
hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support).  In fact
the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the
subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future
to switch only the affected segments.

The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the
page table tree.  The top level of this tree is stored in a structure
that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the
pgd array.  Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB)
that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages
are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the
protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for
addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those
for higher addresses.

      [POWERPC] pasemi: Distribute interrupts evenly across cpus · d87bf3be
      由 Olof Johansson 提交于 
      By default the OpenPIC on PWRficient will bias to one core (since that
will improve changes of the other core being able to stay idle/powered
down). However, this conflicts with most irq load balancing schemes,
since setting an interrupt to be delivered to either core doesn't really
result in the load being shared. It also doesn't work well with the
soft irq disable feature of PPC, since EE will stay on until the first
interrupt is taken while soft disabled.

Set the gconf0 config bit that enables even distribution of interrupts
among the two cores.

      [POWERPC] pasemi: Implement NMI support · f365355e
      由 Olof Johansson 提交于 
      Some PWRficient-based boards have a NMI button that's wired up to a GPIO
as interrupt source. By configuring the openpic accordingly, these get
delivered as a machine check with high priority, instead of as an external
interrupt.

The device tree contains a property "nmi-source" in the openpic node
for these systems, and it's the (hwirq) source for the input.

Also, for these interrupts, the IACK is read from another register than
the regular (MCACK instead), but they are EOI'd as usual. So implement
said function for the mpic driver.

Finally, move a couple of external function defines to include/ instead
of local under sysdev. Being able to mask/unmask and eoi directly saves
us from setting up a dummy irq handler that will never be called.
