The SLUB allocator relies on struct page fields first_page and slab,
overwritten by ptl when SPLIT_PTLOCK: so the SLUB allocator cannot then
be used for the lowest level of pagetable pages. This was obstructing
SLUB on PowerPC, which uses kmem_caches for its pagetables. So convert
its pte level to use normal gfp pages (whereas pmd, pud and 64k-page pgd
want partpages, so continue to use kmem_caches for pmd, pud and pgd).

The basic issue is to be able to do what hugetlbfs does but with
different page sizes for some other special filesystems; more
specifically, my need is:
- Huge pages
- SPE local store mappings using 64K pages on a 4K base page size
kernel on Cell
- Some special 4K segments in 64K-page kernels for mapping a dodgy
type of powerpc-specific infiniband hardware that requires 4K MMU
mappings for various reasons I won't explain here.
The main issues are:
- To maintain/keep track of the page size per "segment" (as we can
only have one page size per segment on powerpc, which are 256MB
divisions of the address space).
- To make sure special mappings stay within their allotted
"segments" (including MAP_FIXED crap)
- To make sure everybody else doesn't mmap/brk/grow_stack into a
"segment" that is used for a special mapping
Some of the necessary mechanisms to handle that were present in the
hugetlbfs code, but mostly in ways not suitable for anything else.
The patch relies on some changes to the generic get_unmapped_area()
that just got merged. It still hijacks hugetlb callbacks here or
there as the generic code hasn't been entirely cleaned up yet but
that shouldn't be a problem.
So what is a slice ? Well, I re-used the mechanism used formerly by our
hugetlbfs implementation which divides the address space in
"meta-segments" which I called "slices". The division is done using
256MB slices below 4G, and 1T slices above. Thus the address space is
divided currently into 16 "low" slices and 16 "high" slices. (Special
case: high slice 0 is the area between 4G and 1T).
Doing so simplifies significantly the tracking of segments and avoids
having to keep track of all the 256MB segments in the address space.
While I used the "concepts" of hugetlbfs, I mostly re-implemented
everything in a more generic way and "ported" hugetlbfs to it.
Slices can have an associated page size, which is encoded in the mmu
context and used by the SLB miss handler to set the segment sizes. The
hash code currently doesn't care, it has a specific check for hugepages,
though I might add a mechanism to provide per-slice hash mapping
functions in the future.
The slice code provide a pair of "generic" get_unmapped_area() (bottomup
and topdown) functions that should work with any slice size. There is
some trickiness here so I would appreciate people to have a look at the
implementation of these and let me know if I got something wrong.

The code for demoting segments to 4K had some issues, like for example,
when using _PAGE_4K_PFN flag, the first CPU to hit it would do the
demotion, but other CPUs hitting the same page wouldn't properly flush
their SLBs if mmu_ci_restriction isn't set. There are also potential
issues with hash_preload not handling _PAGE_4K_PFN. All of these are
non issues on current hardware but might bite us in the future.
This patch thus fixes it by:
- Taking the test comparing the mm and current CPU context page
sizes to decide to flush SLBs out of the mmu_ci_restrictions test
since that can also be triggered by _PAGE_4K_PFN pages
- Due to the above being done all the time, demote_segment_4k
doesn't need update the context and flush the SLB
- demote_segment_4k can be static and doesn't need an EXPORT_SYMBOL
- Making hash_preload ignore anything that has either _PAGE_4K_PFN
or _PAGE_NO_CACHE set, thus avoiding duplication of the complicated
logic in hash_page() (and possibly making hash_preload a little bit
faster for the normal case).

For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack,
to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels
rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer
pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd

The current get_unmapped_area code calls the f_ops->get_unmapped_area or the
arch one (via the mm) only when MAP_FIXED is not passed. That makes it
impossible for archs to impose proper constraints on regions of the virtual
address space. To work around that, get_unmapped_area() then calls some
hugetlbfs specific hacks.
This cause several problems, among others:
- It makes it impossible for a driver or filesystem to do the same thing
that hugetlbfs does (for example, to allow a driver to use larger page sizes
to map external hardware) if that requires applying a constraint on the
addresses (constraining that mapping in certain regions and other mappings
out of those regions).
- Some archs like arm, mips, sparc, sparc64, sh and sh64 already want
MAP_FIXED to be passed down in order to deal with aliasing issues. The code
is there to handle it... but is never called.
This series of patches moves the logic to handle MAP_FIXED down to the various
arch/driver get_unmapped_area() implementations, and then changes the generic
code to always call them. The hugetlbfs hacks then disappear from the generic
code.
Since I need to do some special 64K pages mappings for SPEs on cell, I need to
work around the first problem at least. I have further patches thus
implementing a "slices" layer that handles multiple page sizes through slices
of the address space for use by hugetlbfs, the SPE code, and possibly others,
but it requires that serie of patches first/
There is still a potential (but not practical) issue due to the fact that
filesystems/drivers implemeting g_u_a will effectively bypass all arch checks.
This is not an issue in practice as the only filesystems/drivers using that
hook are doing so for arch specific purposes in the first place.
There is also a problem with mremap that will completely bypass all arch
checks. I'll try to address that separately, I'm not 100% certain yet how,
possibly by making it not work when the vma has a file whose f_ops has a
get_unmapped_area callback, and by making it use is_hugepage_only_range()
before expanding into a new area.
Also, I want to turn is_hugepage_only_range() into a more generic
is_normal_page_range() as that's really what it will end up meaning when used
in stack grow, brk grow and mremap.
None of the above "issues" however are introduced by this patch, they are
already there, so I think the patch can go ini for 2.6.22.
This patch:
Handle MAP_FIXED in powerpc's arch_get_unmapped_area() in all 3
implementations of it.

32-bit powerpc systems define a macro, PHYS_FMT, giving a printf
format string fragment for displaying physical addresses, since most
32-bit powerpc platforms use 32-bit physical addresses but a few use
64-bit physical addresses.
This macro is used in exactly one place, a rare error message, where
we can solve the problem more simply by just unconditionally casting
the address up to 64-bit quantity before formatting it.
This patch does so, meaning that as we bring MMU definitions from
asm-ppc over to asm-powerpc, cleaning them up in the process, we don't
need to implement this ugly macro (which additionally has a very bad

BenH's commit a741e67969 in powerpc.git,
although (AFAICT) only intended to affect ppc64, also has side-effects
which break 44x. I think 40x, 8xx and Freescale Book E are also
affected, though I haven't tested them.
The problem lies in unconditionally removing flush_tlb_pending() from
the versions of flush_tlb_mm(), flush_tlb_range() and
flush_tlb_kernel_range() used on ppc64 - which are also used the
embedded platforms mentioned above.
The patch below cleans up the convoluted #ifdef logic in tlbflush.h,
in the process restoring the necessary flushes for the software TLB
platforms. There are three sets of definitions for the flushing
hooks: the software TLB versions (revised to avoid using names which
appear to related to TLB batching), the 32-bit hash based versions
(external functions) amd the 64-bit hash based versions (which
implement batching).
It also moves the declaration of update_mmu_cache() to always be in
tlbflush.h (previously it was in tlbflush.h except for PPC64, where it
was in pgtable.h).

On hash table based 32 bits powerpc's, the hash management code runs with
a big spinlock. It's thus important that it never causes itself a hash
fault. That code is generally safe (it does memory accesses in real mode
among other things) with the exception of the actual access to the code
itself. That is, the kernel text needs to be accessible without taking
a hash miss exceptions.
This is currently guaranteed by having a BAT register mapping part of the
linear mapping permanently, which includes the kernel text. But this is
not true if using the "nobats" kernel command line option (which can be
useful for debugging) and will not be true when using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
implemented in a subsequent patch.
This patch fixes this by pre-faulting in the hash table pages that hit
the kernel text, and making sure we never evict such a page under hash
pressure.

The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we
lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs
after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash
entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems.
This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather
stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the
paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu
mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range
of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given
CPU before it drops that lock.
We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush.
Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and
disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is
always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen
and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching
is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will
use the batch for that flush.

Some drivers have resources that they want to be able to map into
userspace that are 4k in size. On a kernel configured with 64k pages
we currently end up mapping the 4k we want plus another 60k of
physical address space, which could contain anything. This can
introduce security problems, for example in the case of an infiniband
adaptor where the other 60k could contain registers that some other
program is using for its communications.
This patch adds a new function, remap_4k_pfn, which drivers can use to
map a single 4k page to userspace regardless of whether the kernel is
using a 4k or a 64k page size. Like remap_pfn_range, it would
typically be called in a driver's mmap function. It only maps a
single 4k page, which on a 64k page kernel appears replicated 16 times
throughout a 64k page. On a 4k page kernel it reduces to a call to
remap_pfn_range.
The way this works on a 64k kernel is that a new bit, _PAGE_4K_PFN,
gets set on the linux PTE. This alters the way that __hash_page_4K
computes the real address to put in the HPTE. The RPN field of the
linux PTE becomes the 4k RPN directly rather than being interpreted as
a 64k RPN. Since the RPN field is 32 bits, this means that physical
addresses being mapped with remap_4k_pfn have to be below 2^44,
i.e. 0x100000000000.
The patch also factors out the code in arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c
that deals with demoting a process to use 4k pages into one function
that gets called in the various different places where we need to do
that. There were some discrepancies between exactly what was done in
the various places, such as a call to spu_flush_all_slbs in one case
but not in others.

The SPU code doesn't properly invalidate SPUs SLBs when necessary,
for example when changing a segment size from the hugetlbfs code. In
addition, it saves and restores the SLB content on context switches
which makes it harder to properly handle those invalidations.
This patch removes the saving & restoring for now, something more
efficient might be found later on. It also adds a spu_flush_all_slbs(mm)
that can be used by the core mm code to flush the SLBs of all SPEs that
are running a given mm at the time of the flush.
In order to do that, it adds a spinlock to the list of all SPEs and move

At present calling lmb_reserve() (and hence lmb_add_region()) twice
for exactly the same memory region will cause strange behaviour.
This makes life difficult when booting from a flat device tree with
memory reserve map. Which regions are automatically reserved by the
kernel has changed over time, so it's quite possible a newer kernel
could attempt to auto-reserve a region which is also explicitly listed
in the device tree's reserve map, leading to trouble.
This patch avoids the problem by making lmb_reserve() ignore a call to
reserve a previously reserved region. It also removes a now redundant
test designed to avoid one specific case of the problem noted above.
At present, this patch deals only with duplicate reservations of an
identical region. Attempting to reserve two different, but
overlapping regions will still cause problems. I might post another
patch later dealing with this case, but I'm avoiding it now since it
is substantially more complicated to deal with, less likely to occur
and more likely to indicate a genuine bug elsewhere if it does occur.

The powerpc specific version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() makes some
unwarranted assumptions about what checks have been made to its
parameters by its callers. This will lead to a BUG_ON() if a 32-bit
process attempts to make a hugepage mapping which extends above
TASK_SIZE (4GB).
I'm not sure if these assumptions came about because they were valid
with earlier versions of the get_unmapped_area() path, or if it was
always broken. Nonetheless this patch fixes the logic, and removes
the crash.

For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an
alternative, more compact representation for the information about the
memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This
adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation.
The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can
handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety
here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory
representation we request is different from the representation that
firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change
the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used
on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine
with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel
booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of
this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we
do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines.
We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the
ibm,client-architecture-support call.

Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.
The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.
With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

A few code paths need to check whether or not they are running
on the PS3's LV1 hypervisor before making hcalls. This introduces
a new firmware feature bit for this, FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1.
Now when both PS3 and IBM_CELL_BLADE are enabled, but not PSERIES,
FW_FEATURE_PS3_LV1 and FW_FEATURE_LPAR get enabled at compile time,
which is a bug. The same problem can also happen for (PPC_ISERIES &&
!PPC_PSERIES && PPC_SOMETHING_ELSE). In order to solve this, I
introduce a new CONFIG_PPC_NATIVE option that is set when at least
one platform is selected that can run without a hypervisor and then
turns the firmware feature check into a run-time option.
The new cell oprofile support that was recently merged does not
work on hypervisor based platforms like the PS3, therefore make
it depend on PPC_CELL_NATIVE instead of PPC_CELL. This may change
if we get oprofile support for PS3.

This patch reworks the way iSeries hooks on PCI IO operations (both MMIO
and PIO) and provides a generic way for other platforms to do so (we
have need to do that for various other platforms).
While reworking the IO ops, I ended up doing some spring cleaning in
io.h and eeh.h which I might want to split into 2 or 3 patches (among
others, eeh.h had a lot of useless stuff in it).
A side effect is that EEH for PIO should work now (it used to pass IO
ports down to the eeh address check functions which is bogus).
Also, new are MMIO "repeat" ops, which other archs like ARM already had,
and that we have too now: readsb, readsw, readsl, writesb, writesw,
writesl.
In the long run, I might also make EEH use the hooks instead
of wrapping at the toplevel, which would make things even cleaner and
relegate EEH completely in platforms/iseries, but we have to measure the
performance impact there (though it's really only on MMIO reads)
Since I also need to hook on ioremap, I shuffled the functions a bit
there. I introduced ioremap_flags() to use by drivers who want to pass
explicit flags to ioremap (and it can be hooked). The old __ioremap() is
still there as a low level and cannot be hooked, thus drivers who use it
should migrate unless they know they want the low level version.
The patch "arch provides generic iomap missing accessors" (should be
number 4 in this series) is a pre-requisite to provide full iomap
API support with this patch.

If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.
But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the
non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will
cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
have a machine to test it on.
(Hugh:)
prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same
prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.
Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
mappings into a separate region of the address space.

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.
While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
"
if (cause < 0) {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
goto bad_area;
} else if (!cause) {
/* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
goto bad_area;
} else {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
goto bad_area;
}
"
Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.
Additional discussion:
Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.
The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled. The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary. The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers. With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.
The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types. Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of

The page size encoding passed to tlbie is incorrect for new-style
large pages. This fixes it. This doesn't affect anything on older
machines because mmu_psize_defs[psize].penc (the page size encoding)
is 0 for 4k and 16M pages (the two are distinguished by a separate "is
a large page" bit).

Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but
not for cache-inhibited pages. This patch lets us use 64k hardware
pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel
has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y). User processes
start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any
non-cacheable mappings.
With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for
the imalloc region. If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in
the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages.
I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this,
though, and these machines don't have AGP.
When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have
to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately. We
use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page
was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages. If hash_page is
trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has
already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE
before inserting the 4k HPTE. The hash invalidation routines also use
the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a
set of 4k HPTEs to remove. With those two changes, we can tolerate a
mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get
removed when the address space is torn down.

patch, and is not used in the current kernel code. This removes it.

This adds a vdso_base element to the mm_context_t for 32-bit compiles
(both for ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc). This fixes the compile errors
that have been reported in arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c.

Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause
the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on
the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue,
might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV)
as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
happens.
Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.
This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.
Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.
This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.
Tested on P5 LPAR, iSeries, F50, 44p. Tested moving device tree on P5 and
44p and F50.

Change of_node_to_nid() to traverse the device tree, looking for a numa id.
Cell uses this to assign ids to SPUs, which are children of the CPU node.
Existing users of of_node_to_nid() are altered to use of_node_to_nid_single(),
which doesn't do the traversal.
Export an attach_sysdev_to_node() function, allowing system devices (eg.
SPUs) to link themselves into the numa topology in sysfs.

At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings. Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation. With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse. Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.
The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages. Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.
