Try only lightly on > 1 order allocations. If a grow fails, we are under memory pressure, so do not try to grow the TSB for this address space any more. If a > 0 order TSB allocation fails on a new fork, retry using a 0 order allocation. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently allocations are very constrained for 32-bit processes. It grows down-up from 0x70000000 to 0xf0000000 which gives about 2GB of stack + dynamic mmap() space. So support the top-down method, and we need to override the generic helper function in order to deal with D-cache coloring. With these changes I was able to squeeze out a mmap() just over 3.6GB in size in a 32-bit process. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases. The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged them all up here. 1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB switching to and from kernel threads. We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event. There is a big comment now in that function describing exactly how it can happen. 2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock. This makes page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both TSB growing and TLB context changes. 3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault processing. Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but that is deadlock prone. At the end of do_sparc64_fault() we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow sequence. We also have dropped the address space semaphore. While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file. This piece of code is quite time critical. There are some small negative side effects to this code which can be improved upon. In particular we grab the mm->context.lock even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's a bit excessive. We can get rid of that locking, and the same lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer and tsb_nentries value. That would work because anyone growing the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the TSB change cross call. I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description is here for reference. This code seems very solid now. It passes several parallel GCC bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel. That puts about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity, incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test system. :-) Signed-off-by: David S.

The mapping is a simple "(cpuid >> 2) == core" for now. Later we'll add more sophisticated code that will walk the sun4v machine description and figure this out from there. We should also add core mappings for jaguar and panther processors. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The page->flags manipulations done by the D-cache dirty state tracking was broken because the constants were not marked with "UL" to make them 64-bit, which means we were clobbering the upper 32-bits of page->flags all the time. This doesn't jive well with sparsemem which stores the section and indexing information in the top 32-bits of page->flags. This is yet another sparc64 bug which has been with us forever. While we're here, tidy up some things in bootmem_init() and paginig_init(): 1) Pass min_low_pfn to init_bootmem_node(), it's identical to (phys_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) but we should use consistent with the variable names we print in CONFIG_BOOTMEM_DEBUG 2) max_mapnr, although no longer used, was being set inaccurately, we shouldn't subtract pfn_base any more. 3) All the games with phys_base in the zones_*[] arrays we pass to free_area_init_node() are no longer necessary. Thanks to Josh Grebe and Fabbione for the bug reports and testing. Fix also verified locally on an SB2500 which had a memory layout that triggered the same problem. Signed-off-by: David S.

Don't piggy back the SMP receive signal code to do the context version change handling. Instead allocate another fixed PIL number for this asynchronous cross-call. We can't use smp_call_function() because this thing is invoked with interrupts disabled and a few spinlocks held. Also, fix smp_call_function_mask() to count "cpus" correctly. There is no guarentee that the local cpu is in the mask yet that is exactly what this code was assuming. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

1) Always spin_lock_init() in init_context(). The caller essentially clears it out, or copies the mm info from the parent. In both cases we need to explicitly initialize the spinlock. 2) Always do explicit IRQ disabling while taking mm->context.lock and ctx_alloc_lock. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Don't try to avoid putting non-base page sized entries into the user TSB. It actually costs us more to check this than it helps. Eventually we'll have a multiple TSB scheme for user processes. Once a process starts using larger pages, we'll allocate and use such a TSB. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This cpu mondo sending interface isn't all that easy to use correctly... We were clearing out the wrong bits from the "mask" after getting something other than EOK from the hypervisor. It turns out the hypervisor can just be resent the same cpu_list[] array, with the 0xffff "done" entries still in there, and it will do the right thing. So don't update or try to rebuild the cpu_list[] array to condense it. This requires the "forward_progress" check to be done slightly differently, but this new scheme is less bug prone than what we were doing before. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The UltraSPARC T1 manual recommends this because the chip could instruction prefetch into the VA hole, and this would also make decoding certain kinds of memory access traps more difficult (because the chip sign extends certain pieces of trap state).

First of all, use the known _PAGE_EXEC_{4U,4V} value instead of loading _PAGE_EXEC from memory. We either know which one to use by context, or we can code patch the test. Next, we need to check executability of a PTE in the generic TSB miss handler. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There were several bugs in the SUN4V cpu mondo dispatch code. In fact, if we ever got a EWOULDBLOCK or other error from the hypervisor call, we'd potentially send a cpu mondo multiple times to the same cpu and even worse we could loop until the timeout resending the same mondo over and over to such cpus. So let's bulletproof this thing as follows: 1) Implement cpu_mondo_send() and cpu_state() hypervisor calls in arch/sparc64/kernel/entry.S, add prototypes to asm/hypervisor.h 2) Don't build and update the cpulist using inline functions, this was causing the cpu mask to not get updated in the caller. 3) Disable interrupts during the entire mondo send, otherwise our cpu list and/or mondo block could get overwritten if we take an interrupt and do a cpu mondo send on the current cpu. 4) Check for all possible error return types from the cpu_mondo_send() hypervisor call. In particular: HV_EOK) Our work is done, all cpus have received the mondo. HV_CPUERROR) One or more of the cpus in the cpu list we passed to the hypervisor are in error state. Use cpu_state() calls over the entries in the cpu list to see which ones. Record them in "error_mask" and report this after we are done sending the mondo to cpus which are not in error state. HV_EWOULDBLOCK) We need to keep trying. Any other error we consider fatal, we report the event and exit immediately. 5) We only timeout if forward progress is not made. Forward progress is defined as having at least one cpu get the mondo successfully in a given cpu_mondo_send() call. Otherwise we bump a counter and delay a little. If the counter hits a limit, we signal an error and report the event. Also, smp_call_function_mask() error handling reports the number of cpus incorrectly. Signed-off-by: David S.

The context allocation scheme we use depends upon there being a 1<-->1 mapping from cpu to physical TLB for correctness. Chips like Niagara break this assumption. So what we do is notify all cpus with a cross call when the context version number changes, and if necessary this makes them allocate a valid context for the address space they are running at the time. Stress tested with make -j1024, make -j2048, and make -j4096 kernel builds on a 32-strand, 8 core, T2000 with 16GB of ram. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Niagara helps us find a ancient bug in the sparc64 port :-) The ASI_* values are plain constant defines, thus signed 32-bit on sparc64. To put shift this into the regs->tstate value we were doing or'ing "(ASI_PNF << 24)" into there. ASI_PNF is 0x82 and shifted left by 24 makes that topmost bit the sign bit in a 32-bit value. This would get sign extended to 64-bits and thus corrupt the top-half of the reg->tstate value. This never caused problems in pre-Niagara cpus because the only thing up there were the condition code values. But Niagara has the global register level field, and this all 1's value is illegal there so Niagara gives an illegal instruction trap due to this bug. I'm pretty sure this bug is about as old as the sparc64 port itself. This also points out that we weren't setting ASI_PNF for 32-bit tasks. We should, so fix that while we're here.
