This patch reworks the TLB Miss handler in order to not use r12 register, hence avoiding having to save it into SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH2. In the DAR Fixup code we can now use SPRN_M_TW, freeing SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH2. Then SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH2 may be used for something else in the future. Signed-off-by:

Using this HW assistance implies some constraints on the page table structure: - Regardless of the main page size used (4k or 16k), the level 1 table (PGD) contains 1024 entries and each PGD entry covers a 4Mbytes area which is managed by a level 2 table (PTE) containing also 1024 entries each describing a 4k page. - 16k pages require 4 identifical entries in the L2 table - 512k pages PTE have to be spread every 128 bytes in the L2 table - 8M pages PTE are at the address pointed by the L1 entry and each 8M page require 2 identical entries in the PGD. In order to use hardware assistance with 16K pages, this patch does the following modifications: - Make PGD size independent of the main page size - In 16k pages mode, redefine pte_t as a struct with 4 elements, and populate those 4 elements in __set_pte_at() and pte_update() - Adapt the size of the hugepage tables. - Define a PTE_FRAGMENT_NB so that a 16k page contains 4 page tables.

Today, on the 8xx the TLB handlers do SW tablewalk by doing all the calculation in ASM, in order to match with the Linux page table structure. The 8xx offers hardware assistance which allows significant size reduction of the TLB handlers, hence also reduces the time spent in the handlers. However, using this HW assistance implies some constraints on the page table structure: - Regardless of the main page size used (4k or 16k), the level 1 table (PGD) contains 1024 entries and each PGD entry covers a 4Mbytes area which is managed by a level 2 table (PTE) containing also 1024 entries each describing a 4k page. - 16k pages require 4 identifical entries in the L2 table - 512k pages PTE have to be spread every 128 bytes in the L2 table - 8M pages PTE are at the address pointed by the L1 entry and each 8M page require 2 identical entries in the PGD. This patch modifies the TLB handlers to use HW assistance for 4K PAGES. Before that patch, the mean time spent in TLB miss handlers is: - ITLB miss: 80 ticks - DTLB miss: 62 ticks After that patch, the mean time spent in TLB miss handlers is: - ITLB miss: 72 ticks - DTLB miss: 54 ticks So the improvement is 10% for ITLB and 13% for DTLB misses Signed-off-by:

In preparation of making use of hardware assistance in TLB handlers, this patch temporarily disables 16K pages and hugepages. The reason is that when using HW assistance in 4K pages mode, the linux model fit with the HW model for 4K pages and 8M pages. However for 16K pages and 512K mode some additional work is needed to get linux model fit with HW model. For the 8M pages, they will naturaly come back when we switch to HW assistance, without any additional handling. In order to keep the following patch smaller, the removal of the current special handling for 8M pages gets removed here as well. Therefore the 4K pages mode will be implemented first and without support for 512k hugepages. Then the 512k hugepages will be brought back. And the 16K pages will be implemented in the following step. Signed-off-by:

In order to simplify time critical exceptions handling 8xx specific SW perf counters, this patch moves the counters into the beginning of memory. This is possible because .text is readable and the counters are never modified outside of the handlers. By doing this, we avoid having to set a second register with the upper part of the address of the counters. Signed-off-by:

In this case it happens because PGD cache and 512k hugepte cache are the same size (4k). While a cache with constructor is created for the PGD, hugepages create cache without constructor and uses kmem_cache_zalloc(). As both expect a cache with the same size, the hugepages reuse the cache created for PGD, hence the conflict. In order to avoid this conflict, this patch: - modifies pgtable_cache_add() so that a zeroising constructor is added for any cache size. - replaces calls to kmem_cache_zalloc() by kmem_cache_alloc() Signed-off-by:

There is no point in taking the page table lock as pte_frag or pmd_frag are always NULL when we have only one fragment. Reviewed-by:

In preparation of next patch which generalises the use of pte_fragment_alloc() for all, this patch moves the related functions in a place that is common to all subarches. The 8xx will need that for supporting 16k pages, as in that mode page tables still have a size of 4k. Since pte_fragment with only once fragment is not different from what is done in the general case, we can easily migrate all subarchs to pte fragments. Reviewed-by:

commit 1bc54c03 ("powerpc: rework 4xx PTE access and TLB miss") introduced non atomic PTE updates and started the work of removing PTE updates in TLB miss handlers, but kept PTE_ATOMIC_UPDATES for the 8xx with the following comment: /* Until my rework is finished, 8xx still needs atomic PTE updates */ commit fe11dc3f ("powerpc/8xx: Update TLB asm so it behaves as linux mm expects") removed all PTE updates done in TLB miss handlers Therefore, atomic PTE updates are not needed anymore for the 8xx Signed-off-by:

Preemption should be disabled because the per CPU variable may make no sense if there is a preemption (and a CPU switch) after it reads the per CPU data and when it is used. In this device driver specifically, it is not a problem, because this code just needs to have access to one lppaca struct, and it does not matter if it is the current per CPU lppaca struct or not (i.e. when there is a preemption and a CPU migration). That said, the most appropriate fix seems to be related to avoiding the debug_smp_processor_id() call at get_paca(), instead of calling preempt_disable() before get_paca(). Signed-off-by:

Currently xmon needs to get devtree_lock (through rtas_token()) during its invocation (at crash time). If there is a crash while devtree_lock is being held, then xmon tries to get the lock but spins forever and never get into the interactive debugger, as in the following case: int *ptr = NULL; raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&devtree_lock, flags); *ptr = 0xdeadbeef; This patch avoids calling rtas_token(), thus trying to get the same lock, at crash time. This new mechanism proposes getting the token at initialization time (xmon_init()) and just consuming it at crash time. This would allow xmon to be possible invoked independent of devtree_lock being held or not. Signed-off-by:
