2008-02-08CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.Martin Schwidefsky
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.

2007-10-11[MIPS] Rename CONFIG_BUILD_ELF64 into KBUILD_64BIT_SYM32Franck Bui-Huu
This patch renames it for 3 reasons: - "CONFIG" pattern is used by Kconfig. Now this macro is no more defined by Kconfig but by Kbuild itself make this clear by translating "CONFIG" into "KBUILD". - "ELF32" word is improper because it is irrelevant to ELF format and it makes confusion with CONFIG_BOOT_ELF32. So translate it with SYM32. - Add "64BIT" part to make clear that this macro implies a 64 bits kernel.

2007-09-27[MIPS] Fix CONFIG_BUILD_ELF64 kernels with symbols in CKSEG0.Ralf Baechle

2007-07-10[MIPS] Fix PHYS_OFFSET for 64-bits kernels with 32-bits symbolsFranck Bui-Huu
The current implementation of __pa() for 64-bits kernels with 32-bits symbols is broken. In this configuration, we need 2 values for PAGE_OFFSET, one in XKPHYS and the other in CKSEG0 space. When the value in CKSEG0 space is used, it doesn't take into account of PHYS_OFFSET. Even worse we can't redefine this value. The patch restores CPHYSADDR() but in __pa()'s implementation because it removes the need of 2 PAGE_OFFSET. OTOH, CPHYSADDR() is quite bad when dealing with mapped kernels. So this patch assumes there's no need to deal with such kernel in 64-bits world. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2007-02-06[MIPS] FLATMEM: introduce PHYS_OFFSET.Franck Bui-Huu
The old code was assuming that min_low_pfn was always 0. This means that platforms having a big hole at their memory start paid the price of wasting some memory for the allocation of unused entries in mem_map[]. This patch prevents this waste. It introduces PHYS_OFFSET define which is the start of the physical memory and uses it wherever needed. Specially when converting physical/virtual addresses into virtual/physical ones. Currently all platforms defines PHYS_OFFSET to 0. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2006-11-30[MIPS] Make __pa() aware of XKPHYS/CKSEG0 address mix for 64 bit kernelsFranck Bui-Huu
During early boot mem init, some configs couldn't use __pa() to convert virtual into physical addresses. Specially for 64 bit kernel cases when CONFIG_BUILD_ELF64=n. This patch make __pa() work for _all_ configs and thus make CPHYSADDR() useless. Signed-off-by: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2006-11-30[MIPS] page.h: remove __pa() usages.Franck Bui-Huu
__pa() was used by virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid(). These latter are used when kernel is initialised so __pa() is not appropriate, we use virt_to_phys() instead. Futhermore __pa() is going to take care of CKSEG0/XKPHYS address mix for 64 bit kernels. This makes __pa() more complex than virt_to_phys() and this extra work is not needed by virt_to_page() and virt_addr_valid(). Eventually it consolidates virt_to_phys() prototype by making its argument 'const'. this avoids some warnings that was due to some virt_to_page() usages which pass const pointer.

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!
