2007-05-07[POWERPC] 64K page support for kexecLuke Browning
This fixes a couple of kexec problems related to 64K page support in the kernel. kexec issues a tlbie for each pte. The parameters for the tlbie are the page size and the virtual address. Support was missing for the computation of these two parameters for 64K pages. This adds that support.

2007-05-02[POWERPC] Revise PPC44x MMU code for arch/powerpcDavid Gibson
This patch takes the definitions for the PPC44x MMU (a software loaded TLB) from asm-ppc/mmu.h, cleans them up of things no longer necessary in arch/powerpc and puts them in a new asm-powerpc/mmu_44x.h file. It also substantially simplifies arch/powerpc/mm/44x_mmu.c and makes a couple of small fixes necessary for the 44x MMU code to build and work properly in arch/powerpc.

2007-04-24[POWERPC] Abolish PHYS_FMT macro from arch/powerpcDavid Gibson
32-bit powerpc systems define a macro, PHYS_FMT, giving a printf format string fragment for displaying physical addresses, since most 32-bit powerpc platforms use 32-bit physical addresses but a few use 64-bit physical addresses. This macro is used in exactly one place, a rare error message, where we can solve the problem more simply by just unconditionally casting the address up to 64-bit quantity before formatting it. This patch does so, meaning that as we bring MMU definitions from asm-ppc over to asm-powerpc, cleaning them up in the process, we don't need to implement this ugly macro (which additionally has a very bad name for something global).

2007-04-24[POWERPC] Cleanup and fix breakage in tlbflush.hDavid Gibson
BenH's commit a741e67969577163a4cfc78d7fd2753219087ef1 in powerpc.git, although (AFAICT) only intended to affect ppc64, also has side-effects which break 44x. I think 40x, 8xx and Freescale Book E are also affected, though I haven't tested them. The problem lies in unconditionally removing flush_tlb_pending() from the versions of flush_tlb_mm(), flush_tlb_range() and flush_tlb_kernel_range() used on ppc64 - which are also used the embedded platforms mentioned above. The patch below cleans up the convoluted #ifdef logic in tlbflush.h, in the process restoring the necessary flushes for the software TLB platforms. There are three sets of definitions for the flushing hooks: the software TLB versions (revised to avoid using names which appear to related to TLB batching), the 32-bit hash based versions (external functions) amd the 64-bit hash based versions (which implement batching). It also moves the declaration of update_mmu_cache() to always be in tlbflush.h (previously it was in tlbflush.h except for PPC64, where it was in pgtable.h). Booted on Ebony (440GP) and compiled for 64-bit and 32-bit multiplatform.

Here's an implementation of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC for 64 bits powerpc. It applies on top of the 32 bits patch. Unlike Anton's previous attempt, I'm not using updatepp. I'm removing the hash entries from the bolted mapping (using a map in RAM of all the slots). Expensive but it doesn't really matter, does it ? :-) Memory hot-added doesn't benefit from this unless it's added at an address that is below end_of_DRAM() as calculated at boot time.

2007-04-13[POWERPC] Fix 32-bit mm operations when not using BATsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
On hash table based 32 bits powerpc's, the hash management code runs with a big spinlock. It's thus important that it never causes itself a hash fault. That code is generally safe (it does memory accesses in real mode among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking a hash miss exceptions. This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC implemented in a subsequent patch. This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash pressure.

2007-04-13[POWERPC] Make tlb flush batch use lazy MMU modeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems. This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given CPU before it drops that lock. We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush. Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will use the batch for that flush.

2007-04-13[POWERPC] Allow drivers to map individual 4k pages to userspacePaul Mackerras
Some drivers have resources that they want to be able to map into userspace that are 4k in size. On a kernel configured with 64k pages we currently end up mapping the 4k we want plus another 60k of physical address space, which could contain anything. This can introduce security problems, for example in the case of an infiniband adaptor where the other 60k could contain registers that some other program is using for its communications. This patch adds a new function, remap_4k_pfn, which drivers can use to map a single 4k page to userspace regardless of whether the kernel is using a 4k or a 64k page size. Like remap_pfn_range, it would typically be called in a driver's mmap function. It only maps a single 4k page, which on a 64k page kernel appears replicated 16 times throughout a 64k page. On a 4k page kernel it reduces to a call to remap_pfn_range. The way this works on a 64k kernel is that a new bit, _PAGE_4K_PFN, gets set on the linux PTE. This alters the way that __hash_page_4K computes the real address to put in the HPTE. The RPN field of the linux PTE becomes the 4k RPN directly rather than being interpreted as a 64k RPN. Since the RPN field is 32 bits, this means that physical addresses being mapped with remap_4k_pfn have to be below 2^44, i.e. 0x100000000000. The patch also factors out the code in arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c that deals with demoting a process to use 4k pages into one function that gets called in the various different places where we need to do that. There were some discrepancies between exactly what was done in the various places, such as a call to spu_flush_all_slbs in one case but not in others. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-03-10[POWERPC] Fix spu SLB invalidationsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The SPU code doesn't properly invalidate SPUs SLBs when necessary, for example when changing a segment size from the hugetlbfs code. In addition, it saves and restores the SLB content on context switches which makes it harder to properly handle those invalidations. This patch removes the saving & restoring for now, something more efficient might be found later on. It also adds a spu_flush_all_slbs(mm) that can be used by the core mm code to flush the SLBs of all SPEs that are running a given mm at the time of the flush. In order to do that, it adds a spinlock to the list of all SPEs and move some bits & pieces from spufs to spu_base.c Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2007-03-08[POWERPC] Allow duplicate lmb_reserve() callsDavid Gibson
At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour. This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with memory reserve map. Which regions are automatically reserved by the kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble. This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to reserve a previously reserved region. It also removes a now redundant test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above. At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an identical region. Attempting to reserve two different, but overlapping regions will still cause problems. I might post another patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.

2006-12-11[POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodesPaul Mackerras
For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an alternative, more compact representation for the information about the memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation. The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory representation we request is different from the representation that firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines. We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the ibm,client-architecture-support call. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb pageChen, Kenneth W
Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] ps3: multiplatform build fixesArnd Bergmann
A few code paths need to check whether or not they are running on the PS3's LV1 hypervisor before making hcalls. This introduces a new firmware feature bit for this, FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1. Now when both PS3 and IBM_CELL_BLADE are enabled, but not PSERIES, FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1 and FW_FEATURE_LPAR get enabled at compile time, which is a bug. The same problem can also happen for (PPC_ISERIES && !PPC_PSERIES && PPC_SOMETHING_ELSE). In order to solve this, I introduce a new CONFIG_PPC_NATIVE option that is set when at least one platform is selected that can run without a hypervisor and then turns the firmware feature check into a run-time option. The new cell oprofile support that was recently merged does not work on hypervisor based platforms like the PS3, therefore make it depend on PPC_CELL_NATIVE instead of PPC_CELL. This may change if we get oprofile support for PS3. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>

2006-12-04[POWERPC] Remove ioremap64 and fixup_bigphys_addrBenjamin Herrenschmidt
In order to suppose platforms with devices above 4Gb on 32 bits platforms with a >32 bits physical address space, we used to have a special ioremap64 along with a fixup routine fixup_bigphys_addr. This shouldn't be necessary anymore as struct resource now supports 64 bits addresses even on 32 bits archs. This patch enables that option when CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is set and removes ioremap64 and fixup_bigphys_addr. This is a preliminary work for the upcoming merge of 32 and 64 bits io.h Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-12-04[POWERPC] Allow hooking of PCI MMIO & PIO accessors on 64 bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks the way iSeries hooks on PCI IO operations (both MMIO and PIO) and provides a generic way for other platforms to do so (we have need to do that for various other platforms). While reworking the IO ops, I ended up doing some spring cleaning in io.h and eeh.h which I might want to split into 2 or 3 patches (among others, eeh.h had a lot of useless stuff in it). A side effect is that EEH for PIO should work now (it used to pass IO ports down to the eeh address check functions which is bogus). Also, new are MMIO "repeat" ops, which other archs like ARM already had, and that we have too now: readsb, readsw, readsl, writesb, writesw, writesl. In the long run, I might also make EEH use the hooks instead of wrapping at the toplevel, which would make things even cleaner and relegate EEH completely in platforms/iseries, but we have to measure the performance impact there (though it's really only on MMIO reads) Since I also need to hook on ioremap, I shuffled the functions a bit there. I introduced ioremap_flags() to use by drivers who want to pass explicit flags to ioremap (and it can be hooked). The old __ioremap() is still there as a low level and cannot be hooked, thus drivers who use it should migrate unless they know they want the low level version. The patch "arch provides generic iomap missing accessors" (should be number 4 in this series) is a pre-requisite to provide full iomap API support with this patch.

2006-11-14[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset tooHugh Dickins
(David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

2006-11-13[PATCH] Do a single one-line printk in bad_page_fault()Michael Ellerman
bad_page_fault() prints a message telling the user what type of bad fault we took. The first line of this message is currently implemented as two separate printks. This has the unfortunate effect that if several cpus simultaneously take a bad fault, the first and second parts of the printk get jumbled up, which looks dodge and is hard to read. So do a single one-line printk for each fault type. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-10-11[PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisationMel Gorman
Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns). The unintended impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. As a result, the the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off. The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using arch-independent zone-sizing. Two users have successfully booted their powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4). It has also been boot tested on x86, x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

2006-09-29[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-09-29[PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron
Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...
