The mask used to encode the page table cache number in the batch when freeing page tables was too small for the new possible values of MMU page sizes. This increases it along with a comment explaining the constraints. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The base TLB support didn't include support for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, though we did carve out some virtual space for it, the necessary support code wasn't there. This implements it by using 16M pages for now, though the page size could easily be changed at runtime if necessary. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This adds the TLB miss handler assembly, the low level TLB flush routines along with the necessary hook for dealing with our virtual page tables or indirect TLB entries that need to be flushes when PTE pages are freed. There is currently no support for hugetlbfs Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The definition for the global structure mmu_gathers, used by generic code, is currently defined in multiple places not including anything used by 64-bit Book3E. This changes it by moving to one place common to all processors. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This adds the PTE and pgtable format definitions, along with changes to the kernel memory map and other definitions related to implementing support for 64-bit Book3E. This also shields some asm-offset bits that are currently only relevant on 32-bit We also move the definition of the "linux" page size constants to the common mmu.h file and add a few sizes that are relevant to embedded processors.

That patch used to just add a hook to page table flushing but pulling that string brought out a whole bunch of issues, so it now does that and more: - We now make the RCU batching of page freeing SMP only, as I believe it was intended initially. We make a few more things compile to nothing on !CONFIG_SMP - Some macros are turned into functions, though that forced me to out of line a few stuffs due to unsolvable include depenencies, however it's probably better that way anyway, it's not -that- critical code path. - 32-bit didn't call pte_free_finish() on tlb_flush() which means that it wouldn't push out the batch to RCU for delayed freeing when a bunch of page tables have been freed, they would just stay in there until the batch gets full. 64-bit BookE will use that hook to maintain the virtually linear page tables or the indirect entries in the TLB when using the HW loader.

Currently, a single ifdef covers SLB related bits and more generic ppc64 related bits, split this in two separate ifdef's since 64-bit BookE will need one but not the other. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Our 64-bit hash context handling has no init function, but 64-bit Book3E will use the common mmu_context_nohash.c code which does, so define an empty inline mmu_context_init() for 64-bit server and call it from our 64-bit setup_arch() Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Acked-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

We need to pass down whether the page is direct or indirect and we'll need to pass the page size to _tlbil_va and _tlbivax_bcast We also add a new low level _tlbil_pid_noind() which does a TLB flush by PID but avoids flushing indirect entries if possible This implements those new prototypes but defines them with inlines or macros so that no additional arguments are actually passed on current processors.

The way I intend to use tophys/tovirt on 64-bit BookE is different from the "trick" that we currently play for 32-bit BookE so change the condition of definition of these macros to make it so. Also, make sure we only use rfid and mtmsrd instead of rfi and mtmsr for 64-bit server processors, not all 64-bit processors.

This adds some code to do early ioremap's using page tables instead of bolting entries in the hash table. This will be used by the upcoming 64-bits BookE port. The patch also changes the test for early vs. late ioremap to use slab_is_available() instead of our old hackish mem_init_done. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The current "no hash" MMU context management code is written with the assumption that one CPU == one TLB. This is not the case on implementations that support HW multithreading, where several linux CPUs can share the same TLB. This adds some basic support for this to our context management and our TLB flushing code. It also cleans up the optional debugging output a bit Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

enter_prom() used to save and restore registers such as CTR, XER etc.. which are volatile, or SRR0,1... which we don't care about. This removes a bunch of useless code and while at it turns an mtmsrd into an MTMSRD macro which will be useful to Book3E. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The truncate syscall has a signed long parameter, so when using a 32- bit userspace with a 64-bit kernel the argument is zero-extended instead of sign-extended. Adding the compat_sys_truncate function fixes the issue. This was noticed during an LSB truncate test failure. The test was checking for the correct error number set when truncate is called with a length of -1. The test can be found at: http://bzr.linuxfoundation.org/lsb/devel/runtime-test?cmd=inventory;rev=stewb%40linux-foundation.org-20090626205411-sfb23cc0tjj7jzgm;path=modules/vsx-pcts/tset/POSIX.os/files/truncate/ BenH: Added compat_sys_ftruncate() as well, same issue.

This change the SPRG used to store the PACA on ppc64 from SPRG3 to SPRG1. SPRG3 is user readable on most processors and we want to use it for other things. We change the scratch SPRG used by exception vectors from SRPG1 to SPRG2. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The current definitions set ranges and defaults for 32 and 64-bit only using "PPC_STD_MMU" which means hash based MMU. This uselessly restrict the usefulness for the upcoming 64-bit BookE port, but more than that, it's broken on 32-bit since the only 32-bit platform supporting multiple page sizes currently is 44x which does -not- have PPC_STD_MMU_32 set. This fixes it by using PPC64 and PPC32 instead. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The STAB code used on Power3 and RS/64 uses a second scratch SPRG to save a GPR in order to decide whether to go to do_stab_bolted_* or to handle a normal data access exception. This prevents our scheme of freeing SPRG3 which is user visible for user uses since we cannot use SPRG0 which, on RS/64, seems to be read-only for supervisor mode (like POWER4). This reworks the STAB exception entry to use the PACA as temporary storage instead. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer. We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc.. and the current choice isn't always the best. This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to what those are used for on each processor family. The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all the SPRGs.

TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is not used with the new top down mmap layout. We can reuse this preload slot by loading in the segment at 0x10000000, where almost all PowerPC binaries are linked at. On a microbenchmark that bounces a token between two 64bit processes over pipes and calls gettimeofday each iteration (to access the VDSO), both the 32bit and 64bit context switch rate improves (tested on a 4GHz POWER6): 32bit: 273k/sec -> 283k/sec 64bit: 277k/sec -> 284k/sec Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

With the new top down layout it is likely that the pc and stack will be in the same segment, because the pc is most likely in a library allocated via a top down mmap. Right now we bail out early if these segments match. Rearrange the SLB preload code to sanity check all SLB preload addresses are not in the kernel, then check all addresses for conflicts.

On 64bit applications the VDSO is the only thing in segment 0. Since the VDSO is position independent we can remove the hint and let get_unmapped_area pick an area. This will mean the vdso will be near other mmaps and will share an SLB entry: 10000000-10001000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 5778459 /root/context_switch_64 10010000-10011000 r--p 00000000 08:06 5778459 /root/context_switch_64 10011000-10012000 rw-p 00001000 08:06 5778459 /root/context_switch_64 fffa92ae000-fffa92b0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 fffa92b0000-fffa9453000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 4334051 /lib64/power6/libc-2.9.so fffa9453000-fffa9462000 ---p 001a3000 08:06 4334051 /lib64/power6/libc-2.9.so fffa9462000-fffa9466000 r--p 001a2000 08:06 4334051 /lib64/power6/libc-2.9.so fffa9466000-fffa947c000 rw-p 001a6000 08:06 4334051 /lib64/power6/libc-2.9.so fffa947c000-fffa9480000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 fffa9480000-fffa94a8000 r-xp 00000000 08:06 4333852 /lib64/ld-2.9.so fffa94b3000-fffa94b4000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 fffa94b4000-fffa94b7000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] <----- here I am fffa94b7000-fffa94b8000 r--p 00027000 08:06 4333852 /lib64/ld-2.9.so fffa94b8000-fffa94bb000 rw-p 00028000 08:06 4333852 /lib64/ld-2.9.so fffa94bb000-fffa94bc000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 fffe4c10000-fffe4c25000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] On a microbenchmark that bounces a token between two 64bit processes over pipes and calls gettimeofday each iteration (to access the VDSO), our context switch rate goes from 268k to 277k ctx switches/sec (tested on a 4GHz POWER6).

The bitops.h functions that operate on a single bit in a bitfield are implemented by operating on the corresponding word location. In all cases the inner logic is valid if the mask being applied has more than one bit set, so this patch exposes those inner operations. Indeed, set_bits() was already available, but it duplicated code from set_bit() (rather than making the latter a wrapper) - it was also missing the PPC405_ERR77() workaround and the "volatile" address qualifier present in other APIs. This corrects that, and exposes the other multi-bit equivalents. One advantage of these multi-bit forms is that they allow word-sized variables to essentially be their own spinlocks, eg. very useful for state machines where an atomic "flags" variable can obviate the need for any additional locking.

The workaround enabled by CONFIG_MPIC_BROKEN_REGREAD does not work on non-broken MPICs. The symptom is no interrupts being received. The fix is twofold. Firstly the code was broken for multiple isus, we need to index into the shadow array with the src_no, not the idx. Secondly, we always do the read, but only use the VECPRI_MASK and VECPRI_ACTIVITY bits from the hardware, the rest of "val" comes from the shadow.
