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 shouldn't be necessary anymore as struct resource now supports 64 bits

CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT is set and removes ioremap64 and fixup_bigphys_addr.

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.

Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to

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 huge pte pointer.

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.

The pgdir field in the paca was a leftover from the dynamic VSIDs
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.
