On pSeries, the hypervisor doesn't let us map in the eHEA ethernet
adapter using 64k pages, and thus the ehea driver will fail if 64k
pages are configured. This works around the problem by always
using 4k pages for ioremap on pSeries (but not on other platforms).
A better fix would be to check whether the partition could ever
have an eHEA adapter, and only force 4k pages if it could, but this
will do for 2.6.25.
This is based on an earlier patch by Tony Breeds.

Since the PMU is an NMI now, it can come at any time we are only soft
disabled. We must hard disable around the two places we allow the kernel
stack SLB and r1 to go out of sync. Otherwise the PMU exception can
force a kernel stack SLB into another slot, which can lead to it
getting evicted, which can lead to a nasty unrecoverable SLB miss
in the exception entry code.

My recent hack to allocate the hash table under 1GB on cell was poorly
tested, *cough*. It turns out on blades with large amounts of memory we
fail to allocate the hash table at all. This is because RTAS has been
instantiated just below 768MB, and 0-x MB are used by the kernel,
leaving no areas that are both large enough and also naturally-aligned.
For the cell IOMMU hack the page tables must be under 2GB, so use that
as the limit instead. This has been tested on real hardware and boots
happily.

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.

walk_memory_resource() verifies if there are holes in a given memory
range, by checking against /proc/iomem. On x86/ia64 system memory is
represented in /proc/iomem. On powerpc, we don't show system memory as
IO resource in /proc/iomem - instead it's maintained in
/proc/device-tree.
This provides a way for an architecture to provide its own
walk_memory_resource() function. On powerpc, the memory region is
small (16MB), contiguous and non-overlapping. So extra checking
against the device-tree is not needed.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

Here's a dumb simple implementation of fake NUMA nodes for PowerPC.
Fake NUMA nodes can be specified using the following command line
option
numa=fake=<node range>
node range is of the format <range1>,<range2>,...<rangeN>
Each of the rangeX parameters is passed using memparse(). I find the
patch useful for fake NUMA emulation on my simple PowerPC machine.
I've tested it on a numa box with the following arguments
numa=fake=512M
numa=fake=512M,768M
numa=fake=256M,512M mem=512M
numa=fake=1G mem=768M
numa=fake=
without any numa= argument
The other side-effect introduced by this patch is that; in the case
where we don't have NUMA information, we now set a node online after
adding each LMB. This node could very well be node 0, but in the case
that we enable fake NUMA nodes, when we cross node boundaries, we need
to set the new node online.

Currently, update_mmu_cache will crash if given a no-access PTE.
There's no need to synchronize dcache/icache unless it's an exec
mapping -- however, due to the existence of older glibc versions that
execute out of a read-but-no-exec page, readability is tested instead.
This assumes no exec-only mappings; if such mappings become supported,
they will need to go through the kmap_atomic() version of
dcache/icache synchronization.
This fixes a bug reported by some users where the kernel would crash
while dumping core on a threaded program.

is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm

In order to support the fixed IOMMU mapping (in a subsequent patch),
we need the hash table to be inside the IOMMUs DMA window. This is
usually 2G, but let's make sure the hash table is under 1G as that
will satisfy the IOMMU requirements and also means the hash table will
be on node 0.

This reverts commit 5c3f5892a2db6757a72ce8b27cba90db06683e1d,
basically because it changes behaviour even when no fake NUMA
information is specified on the kernel command line.
Firstly, it changes the nid, thus destroying the real NUMA
information. Secondly, it also changes behaviour in that if a node
ends up with no memory in it because of the memory limit, we used to
set it online and now we don't.
Also, in the non-NUMA case with no fake NUMA information, we do
node_set_online once for each LMB now, whereas previously we only did
it once. I don't know if that is actually a problem, but it does seem
unnecessary.

The e500 MMU init code previously assumed KERNELBASE always equaled
PAGE_OFFSET and PHYSICAL_START was 0. This is useful for kdump
support as well as asymetric multicore.
For the initial kdump support the secondary kernel will run at 32M
but need access to all of memory so we bump the initial TLB up to
64M. This also matches with the forth coming ePAPR spec.

There were several issues if a memreserve range existed and happened
to be in highmem:
* The bootmem allocator is only aware of lowmem so calling
reserve_bootmem with a highmem address would cause a BUG_ON
* All highmem pages were provided to the buddy allocator
Added a lmb_is_reserved() api that we now use to determine if a highem
page should continue to be PageReserved or provided to the buddy
allocator.
Also, we incorrectly reported the amount of pages reserved since all
highmem pages are initally marked reserved and we clear the
PageReserved flag as we "free" up the highmem pages.

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.

This adds the hugepagesz boot-time parameter for ppc64. It lets one
pick the size for huge pages. The choices available are 64K and 16M

only only choice) if nothing or an invalid choice is specified.
Tested 64K huge pages successfully with the libhugetlbfs 1.2.

Commit 473980a99316c0e788bca50996375a2815124ce1 added a call to clear
the SLB shadow buffer before registering it. Unfortunately this means
that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in
there. On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing
partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch,
each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data,
which causes it to crash.
This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the
3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize. This fixes the problem that
473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

Before we register the SLB shadow buffer, we need to invalidate the
entries in the buffer, otherwise we can end up stale entries from when
we previously offlined the CPU.
This does this invalidate as well as unregistering the buffer with
PHYP before we offline the cpu. Tested and fixes crashes seen on
970MP (thanks to tonyb) and POWER5.

Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we
should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB

mmu_mapin_ram() loops over total_lowmem to setup page tables. However, if

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.

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).

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.

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.

- 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.

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.
Convert
ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)
to
ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)
throughout the kernel

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.

Now, arch dependent code around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is a mess.
This patch cleans up them. This is against 2.6.23-rc6-mm1.
- fix compile failure on ia64/ CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE case.
- For !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, add generic no-op remove_memory(),
which returns -EINVAL.
- removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc.
- removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64.
- only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it
to return -EINVAL.
Note:
Currently, only ia64 supports CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. I welcome other
archs if there are requirements and testers.

Enable virtual memmap support for SPARSEMEM on PPC64 systems. Slice a 16th
off the end of the linear mapping space and use that to hold the vmemmap.
Uses the same size mapping as uses in the linear 1:1 kernel mapping.

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.

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 commit fixes the problem by setting __initial_memory_limit
in adjust_total_lowmem().

The 8xx can only support a max of 8M during early boot (it seems a lot of
8xx boards only have 8M so the bug was never triggered), but the early
allocator isn't aware of this. The following change makes it able to run
with larger memory.
