      [PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages · 3c726f8d
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
      base page size to 64K.  The resulting kernel still boots on any
      hardware.  On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
      will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
      
      Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
      will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
      still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
      information from the newer hypervisors.

      [PATCH] Dynamic hugepage addresses for ppc64 · c594adad
      David Gibson 提交于
      Paulus, I think this is now a reasonable candidate for the post-2.6.13
      queue.
      
      Relax address restrictions for hugepages on ppc64
      
      Presently, 64-bit applications on ppc64 may only use hugepages in the
      address region from 1-1.5T.  Furthermore, if hugepages are enabled in
      the kernel config, they may only use hugepages and never normal pages
      in this area.  This patch relaxes this restriction, allowing any
      address to be used with hugepages, but with a 1TB granularity.  That
      is if you map a hugepage anywhere in the region 1TB-2TB, that entire
      area will be reserved exclusively for hugepages for the remainder of
      the process's lifetime.  This works analagously to hugepages in 32-bit
      applications, where hugepages can be mapped anywhere, but with 256MB
      (mmu segment) granularity.
      
      This patch applies on top of the four level pagetable patch
      (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc64/patch?id=1936).

      [PATCH] Four level pagetables for ppc64 · e28f7faf
      David Gibson 提交于
      Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64
      
      This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby
      extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T).
      
      The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level,
      and a quarter page for the intermediate levels.  It uses full 64-bit
      pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of
      physical memory.  This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow
      matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available
      contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

      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!
