2007-11-08[POWERPC] Fix switch_slb handling of 1T ESID valueswill schmidt
Now that we have 1TB segment size support, we need to be using the GET_ESID_1T macro when comparing ESID values for pc, stack, and unmapped_base within switch_slb(). A new helper function called esids_match() contains the logic for deciding when to call GET_ESID and GET_ESID_1T. This fixes a duplicate-slb-entry inspired machine-check exception I was seeing when trying to run java on a power6 partition. Tested on power6 and power5.

This fixes the error error: implicit declaration of function "udbg_printf" We have a few spots where we reference udbg_printf() without #including udbg.h. These are within #ifdef DEBUG blocks, so unnoticed until we do a #define DEBUG or #define DEBUG_LOW nearby.

2007-11-01[POWERPC] ppc405 Fix arithmatic rollover bug when memory size under 16MGrant Likely
mmu_mapin_ram() loops over total_lowmem to setup page tables. However, if total_lowmem is less that 16M, the subtraction rolls over and results in a number just under 4G (because total_lowmem is an unsigned value). This patch rejigs the loop from countup to countdown to eliminate the bug. Special thanks to Magnus Hjorth who wrote the original patch to fix this bug. This patch improves on his by making the loop code simpler (which also eliminates the possibility of another rollover at the high end) and also applies the change to arch/powerpc.

2007-11-01[POWERPC] 4xx: Deal with 44x virtually tagged icacheBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches in their distro... This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon return to user space when that happens. This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which isn't something I want to deal with.

2007-11-01[POWERPC] 4xx: Fix 4xx flush_tlb_page()Benjamin Herrenschmidt
On 4xx CPUs, the current implementation of flush_tlb_page() uses a low level _tlbie() assembly function that only works for the current PID. Thus, invalidations caused by, for example, a COW fault triggered by get_user_pages() from a different context will not work properly, causing among other things, gdb breakpoints to fail. This patch adds a "pid" argument to _tlbie() on 4xx processors, and uses it to flush entries in the right context. FSL BookE also gets the argument but it seems they don't need it (their tlbivax form ignores the PID when invalidating according to the document I have).

2007-10-29[POWERPC] powerpc: Fix demotion of segments to 4K pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
When demoting a process to use 4K HW pages (instead of 64K), which happens under various circumstances such as doing cache inhibited mappings on machines that do not support 64K CI pages, the assembly hash code calls back into the C function flush_hash_page(). This function prototype was recently changed to accomodate for 1T segments but the assembly call site was not updated, causing applications that do demotion to hang. In addition, when updating the per-CPU PACA for the new sizes, we didn't properly update the slice "map", thus causing the SLB miss code to re-insert segments for the wrong size. This fixes both and adds a warning comment next to the C implementation to try to avoid problems next time someone changes it.

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

2007-10-17[POWERPC] Add 1TB workaround for PA6TOlof Johansson
PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large segment bit. As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching context. We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing, since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the same ESID. I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a failed slbie of the old entry. So as long as we clear it out on context switch we should be fine.

2007-10-12[POWERPC] Use 1TB segmentsPaul Mackerras
This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them (currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T). We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree. We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted) and is not addressed here. Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-10-08[POWERPC] 85xx: Failure with odd memory sizes and CONFIG_HIGHMEMDale Farnsworth
The CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE mmu setup code fails when CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y and the 3 fixed TLB entries cannot exactly map the lowmem size. Each TLB entry can map 4MB, 16MB, 64MB or 256MB, so the failure is observed when the kernel lowmem size is not equal to the sum of up to 3 of those values. Normally, memory is sized in nice numbers, but I observed this problem while testing a crash dump kernel. The failure can also be observed by artificially reducing the kernel's main memory via the mem= kernel command line parameter.

This partially reverts edd0622bd2e8f755c960827e15aa6908c3c5aa94. It turns out that the part of that commit that aimed to ensure that we created an SLB entry for the kernel stack on secondary CPUs when starting the CPU didn't achieve its aim, and in fact caused a regression, because get_paca()->kstack is not initialized at the point where slb_initialize is called.

We were getting a duplicate entry in the SLB shadow buffer in slb_flush_and_rebolt() if the kernel stack was in the same segment as PAGE_OFFSET, which on POWER6 causes the hypervisor to terminate the partition with an error. This fixes it. Also we were not creating an SLB entry (or an SLB shadow buffer entry) for the kernel stack on secondary CPUs when starting the CPU.

2007-07-22[POWERPC] Allow exec faults on readable areas on classic 32-bit PowerPCPaul Mackerras
Classic 32-bit PowerPC CPUs, and the early 64-bit PowerPC CPUs, don't provide a way to prevent execution from readable pages, that is, the MMU doesn't distinguish between data reads and instruction reads, although a different exception is taken for faults in data accesses and instruction accesses. Commit 9ba4ace39fdfe22268daca9f28c5df384ae462cf, in the course of fixing another bug, added a check that meant that a page fault due to an instruction access would fail if the vma did not have the VM_EXEC flag set. This gives an inconsistent enforcement on these CPUs of the no-execute status of the vma (since reading from the page is sufficient to allow subsequent execution from it), and causes old versions of ppc32 glibc (2.2 and earlier) to fail, since they rely on executing the word before the GOT but don't have it marked executable. This fixes the problem by allowing execution from readable (or writable) areas on CPUs which do not provide separate control over data and instruction reads.

2007-07-10[POWERPC] Remove extra return statementManish Ahuja
Found 2 instances of return one right after each other in arch_add_memory(). This removes the superfluous one. Signed-off-by: Manish Ahuja <mahuja@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-07-10[POWERPC] Move inline asm eieio to using eieio inline functionKumar Gala
Use the eieio function so we can redefine what eieio does rather than direct inline asm. This is part code clean up and partially because not all PPCs have eieio (book-e has mbar that maps to eieio). Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
2007-06-20[POWERPC] PowerPC: Prevent data exception in kernel space (32-bit)Segher Boessenkool
The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault() didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC. So if a userland program jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(), which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights. Boom. This fixes it. Signed-off-by: Segher Boessenkool <segher@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-14[POWERPC] Kill typedef-ed structs for hash PTEs and BATsDavid Gibson
Using typedefs to rename structure types if frowned on by CodingStyle. However, we do so for the hash PTE structure on both ppc32 (where it's called "PTE") and ppc64 (where it's called "hpte_t"). On ppc32 we also have such a typedef for the BATs ("BAT"). This removes this unhelpful use of typedefs, in the process bringing ppc32 and ppc64 closer together, by using the name "struct hash_pte" in both cases.
