2006-02-07[PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup, consolidating icache dirtying logicDavid Gibson
The code to mark a page as icache dirty (so that it will later be icache-dcache flushed when we try to execute from it) is duplicated in three places: flush_dcache_page() does this marking and nothing else, but clear_user_page() and copy_user_page() duplicate it, since those functions make the page icache dirty themselves. This patch makes those other functions call flush_dcache_page() instead, so the logic's all in one place. This will make life less confusing if we ever need to tweak the details of the the lazy icache flush mechanism. arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c | 14 ++------------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Replace VMALLOCBASE with VMALLOC_STARTDavid Gibson
On ppc64, we independently define VMALLOCBASE and VMALLOC_START to be the same thing: the start of the vmalloc() area at 0xd000000000000000. VMALLOC_START is used much more widely, including in generic code, so this patch gets rid of the extraneous VMALLOCBASE. This does require moving the definitions of region IDs from page_64.h to pgtable.h, but they don't clearly belong in the former rather than the latter, anyway. While we're moving them, clean up the definitions of the REGION_IDs: - Abolish REGION_SIZE, it was only used once, to define REGION_MASK anyway - Define the specific region ids in terms of the REGION_ID() macro. - Define KERNEL_REGION_ID in terms of PAGE_OFFSET rather than KERNELBASE. It amounts to the same thing, but conceptually this is about the region of the linear mapping (which starts at PAGE_OFFSET) rather than of the kernel text itself (which is at KERNELBASE).

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Separate usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSETMichael Ellerman
This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries. This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1 gazillion for 64-bit. To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET, _not_ KERNELBASE. KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_. If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel you should subtract KERNELBASE.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Add a is_kernel_addr() macroMichael Ellerman
There's a bunch of code that compares an address with KERNELBASE to see if it's a "kernel address", ie. >= KERNELBASE. The proper test is actually to compare with PAGE_OFFSET, since we're going to change KERNELBASE soon. So replace all of them with an is_kernel_addr() macro that does that.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Make hugepage mappings respect hint addressesDavid Gibson
Currently, the powerpc version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() entirely ignores the hint address. The only way to get a hugepage mapping at a specified address is with MAP_FIXED, in which case there's no way (short of parsing /proc/self/maps) for userspace to tell if it will clobber an existing mapping. This is inconvenient, so the patch below makes hugepage mappings use the given hint address if possible.

This patch unifies udbg for both ppc32 and ppc64 when building the merged achitecture. xmon now has a single "back end". The powermac udbg stuff gets enriched with some ADB capabilities and btext output. In addition, the early_init callback is now called on ppc32 as well, approx. in the same order as ppc64 regarding device-tree manipulations. The init sequences of ppc32 and ppc64 are getting closer, I'll unify them in a later patch. For now, you can force udbg to the scc using "sccdbg" or to btext using "btextdbg" on powermacs. I'll implement a cleaner way of forcing udbg output to something else than the autodetected OF output device in a later patch.

2005-12-09[PATCH] powerpc: Fix SLB flushing path in hugepageDavid Gibson
On ppc64, when opening a new hugepage region, we need to make sure any old normal-page SLBs for the area are flushed on all CPUs. There was a bug in this logic - after putting the new hugepage area masks into the thread structure, we copied it into the paca (read by the SLB miss handler) only on one CPU, not on all. This could cause incorrect SLB entries to be loaded when a multithreaded program was running simultaneously on several CPUs. This patch corrects the error, copying the context information into the PACA on all CPUs using the mm in question before flushing any existing SLB entries.

2005-12-09[PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepagesDavid Gibson
On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed. Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation. We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page in question. Tested on G5.

2005-11-25[PATCH] powerpc: More hugepage boundary case fixesDavid Gibson
Blah. The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has an off-by-one bug. Furthermore, the related functions touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also buggy. Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 where we tweaked the semantics of where hugepages are allowed. Other bugs have been there essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<' with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences). The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up things like this if they creep in again.

2005-11-23[PATCH] powerpc: fix for hugepage areas straddling 4GB boundaryDavid Gibson
Commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t. Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that change. First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match, second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point. The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is triggered at the wrong point.

This patch should fix the crashes we have been seeing on 64-bit powerpc systems with a memory hole when sparsemem is enabled. I'd appreciate it if people who know more about NUMA and sparsemem than me could look over it. There were two bugs. The first was that if NUMA was enabled but there was no NUMA information for the machine, the setup_nonnuma() function was adding a single region, assuming memory was contiguous. The second was that the loops in mem_init() and show_mem() assumed that all pages within the span of a pgdat were valid (had a valid struct page).

2005-11-11[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernelBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier).

2005-11-07[PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepagesDavid Gibson
This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by this patch). The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64 introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id c594adad5653491813959277fb87a2fef54c4e05) due to a misunderstanding of the srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual). In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for hugepages. In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB granularity). To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of 1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable them some other day). Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5 LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).
