2008-07-30powerpc/mm: Lockless get_user_pages_fast() for 64-bit (v3)Nick Piggin
Implement lockless get_user_pages_fast for 64-bit powerpc. Page table existence is guaranteed with RCU, and speculative page references are used to take a reference to the pages without having a prior existence guarantee on them.

2008-01-23[POWERPC] Provide a way to protect 4k subpages when using 64k pagesPaul Mackerras
Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and the normal system calls for controlling page protections. Of course, the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty slow. This provides a facility for such programs to control the access permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages. The idea is that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a specified range of virtual addresses. These masks are applied at the level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected. Note that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be allowed. This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages. The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array of protection masks in memory. The array has a 32-bit word per 64k page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields, for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access. Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support). In fact the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future to switch only the affected segments. The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the page table tree. The top level of this tree is stored in a structure that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the pgd array. Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB) that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those for higher addresses.

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Rewrite IO allocation & mapping on powerpc64Benjamin Herrenschmidt
This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO space allocations on powerpc64. The main goals are: - Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible - Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and mapped in a single place for PCI bridges - Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports, so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers that assume IO ports fit in an int. - Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there. I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so far, that's it :-) With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs. This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the diffstat of that patch :-) A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space. The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after, which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots). imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB (which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space. I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge. This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.

2007-05-09[POWERPC] Introduce address space "slices"Benjamin Herrenschmidt
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.

2006-12-04[POWERPC] ps3: multiplatform build fixesArnd Bergmann
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. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>

2005-10-12powerpc: make iSeries boot againStephen Rothwell
On ARCH=ppc64 we were getting htab_hash_mask recalculated to the correct value for our particular machine by accident. In the merge tree, that code was commented out, so htab_hash_mask was being corrupted. We now set ppc64_pft_size instead which gets htab_has_mask calculated correctly for us later. We should put an ibm,pft-size property in the device tree at some point. Also set -mno-minimal-toc in some makefiles. Allow iSeries to configure PROC_DEVICETREE.

2005-10-06powerpc: Merge lmb.c and make MM initialization use it.Paul Mackerras
This also creates merged versions of do_init_bootmem, paging_init and mem_init and moves them to arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c. It gets rid of the mem_pieces stuff. I made memory_limit a parameter to lmb_enforce_memory_limit rather than a global referenced by that function.

2005-09-26powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.Paul Mackerras
This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm, arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc. For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc. The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
