2008-04-24[POWERPC] Clean up access to thread_info in assemblyKumar Gala
Use (31-THREAD_SHIFT) to get to thread_info from stack pointer. This makes the code a bit easier to read and more robust if we ever change THREAD_SHIFT. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-04-24[POWERPC] Port fixmap from x86 and use for kmap_atomicKumar Gala
The fixmap code from x86 allows us to have compile time virtual addresses that we change the physical addresses of at run time. This is useful for applications like kmap_atomic, PCI config that is done via direct memory map, kexec/kdump. We got ride of CONFIG_HIGHMEM_START as we can now determine a more optimal location for PKMAP_BASE based on where the fixmap addresses start and working back from there. Additionally, the kmap code in asm-powerpc/highmem.h always had debug enabled. Moved to using CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM to determine if we should have the extra debug checking.

2008-04-24[POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)Kumar Gala
Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and kdump). The support can be configured at compile time by setting CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as desired. Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. Setting this config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START. If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning. However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program header physical address field in the resulting ELF image. Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a multiple of 256M. This is due to how we map TLBs to cover lowmem. This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment in the future. It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a non-aligned physical address. All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings. ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. /dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] Introduce lowmem_end_addr to distinguish from total_lowmemKumar Gala
total_lowmem represents the amount of low memory, not the physical address that low memory ends at. If the start of memory is at 0 it happens that total_lowmem can be used as both the size and the address that lowmem ends at (or more specifically one byte beyond the end). To make the code a bit more clear and deal with the case when the start of memory isn't at physical 0, we introduce lowmem_end_addr that represents one byte beyond the last physical address in the lowmem region.

2008-04-17[POWERPC] Remove and replace uses of PPC_MEMSTART with memstart_addrKumar Gala
A number of users of PPC_MEMSTART (40x, ppc_mmu_32) can just always use 0 as we don't support booting these kernels at non-zero physical addresses since their exception vectors must be at 0 (or 0xfffx_xxxx). For the sub-arches that support relocatable interrupt vectors (book-e), it's reasonable to have memory start at a non-zero physical address. For those cases use the variable memstart_addr instead of the #define PPC_MEMSTART since the only uses of PPC_MEMSTART are for initialization and in the future we can set memstart_addr at runtime to have a relocatable kernel.

2008-04-03[POWERPC] Fix deadlock with mmu_hash_lock in hash_page_syncBenjamin Herrenschmidt
hash_page_sync() takes and releases the low level mmu hash lock in order to sync with other processors disposing of page tables. Because that lock can be needed to service hash misses triggered by interrupt handlers, taking it must be done with interrupts off. However, hash_page_sync() appears to be called with interrupts enabled, thus causing occasional deadlocks. We fix it by making sure hash_page_sync() masks interrupts while holding the lock.

2008-03-24[POWERPC] Don't use 64k pages for ioremap on pSeriesPaul Mackerras
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.

2008-03-13[POWERPC] Fix large hash table allocation on Cell bladesMichael Ellerman
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.

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.

2008-02-08[POWERPC] Add arch-specific walk_memory_remove() for 64-bit powerpcBadari Pulavarty
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.

2008-02-07Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle
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().

2008-02-07[POWERPC] Fake NUMA emulation for PowerPCBalbir Singh
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 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. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2008-01-24[POWERPC] Provide a way to protect 4k subpages when using 64k pagesPaul Mackerras
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.

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.

2008-01-11[POWERPC] Fix CPU hotplug when using the SLB shadow bufferMichael Neuling
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.

2007-12-20[POWERPC] Fake NUMA emulation for PowerPCBalbir Singh
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 this useful for fake NUMA emulation on my simple PowerPC machine. I've tested it on a non-numa box with the following arguments: numa=fake=1G numa=fake=1G,2G name=fake=1G,512M,2G numa=fake=1500M,2800M mem=3500M numa=fake=1G mem=512M numa=fake=1G mem=1G Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-12-11[POWERPC] Use SLB size from the device treeMichael Neuling
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 entries. This uses this property instead of assuming 64. If no property is found, we assume 64 entries as before. This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance at all.
