powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses
__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++
Converts to
__this_cpu_inc(y)
tj: Folded a fix patch.

hugetlb: restrict hugepage_migration_support() to x86_64
Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs. So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.
Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

mm: migrate: check movability of hugepage in unmap_and_move_huge_page()
Currently hugepage migration works well only for pmd-based hugepages
(mainly due to lack of testing,) so we had better not enable migration of
other levels of hugepages until we are ready for it.
Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do
page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe. But the
other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without
this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages.
To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an
architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd
basis or not. And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are
available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size.

powerpc: Prevent gcc to re-read the pagetables
GCC is very likely to read the pagetables just once and cache them in
the local stack or in a register, but it is can also decide to re-read
the pagetables. The problem is that the pagetable in those places can
change from under gcc.
With THP/hugetlbfs the pmd (and pgd for hugetlbfs giga pages) can
change under gup_fast. The pages won't be freed untill we finish
gup fast because we have irq disabled and we free these pages via
rcu callback.

powerpc: Make linux pagetable walk safe with THP enabled
We need to have irqs disabled to handle all the possible parallel update for
linux page table without holding locks.
Events that we are intersted in while walking page tables are
1) Page fault
2) umap
3) THP split
4) THP collapse
A) local_irq_disabled:
------------------------
1) page fault:
A none to valid transition via page fault is not an issue because we
would either see a none or valid. If it is none, we would error out
the page table walk. We may need to use on stack values when checking for
type of page table elements, because if we do
if (!is_hugepd()) {
if (!pmd_none() {
if (pmd_bad() {
We could take that bad condition because the pmd got converted to a hugepd
after the !is_hugepd check via a hugetlb fault.
The right way would be to check for pmd_none higher up or use on stack value.
2) A valid to none conversion via unmap:
We can safely walk the upper level table, because we don't remove the the
page table entries until rcu grace period. So even if we followed a
wrong pointer we still have the pointer valid till the grace period.
A PTE pointer returned need to be atomically checked for _PAGE_PRESENT and
_PAGE_BUSY. A valid pointer returned could becoming none later. To prevent
pte_clear we take _PAGE_BUSY.
3) THP split:
A valid transparent hugepage is converted to nomal page. Before we split we
do pmd_splitting_flush, which sets the hugepage PTE to _PAGE_SPLITTING
So when walking page table we need to check for pmd_trans_splitting and
handle that. The pte returned should also need to be checked for
_PAGE_SPLITTING before setting _PAGE_BUSY similar to _PAGE_PRESENT. We save
the value of PTE on stack and check for the flag in the local pte value.
If we don't have the value set we can safely operate on the local pte value
and we atomicaly set _PAGE_BUSY.
4) THP collapse:
A normal page gets converted to hugepage. In the collapse path, we
mark the pmd none early (pmdp_clear_flush). With irq disabled, if we
are aleady walking page table we would see the pmd_none and won't continue.
If we see a valid PMD, we should still check for _PAGE_PRESENT before
setting _PAGE_BUSY, to make sure we didn't collapse the PTE to a Huge PTE.

powerpc: Fix bad pmd error with book3E config
Book3E uses the hugepd at PMD level and don't encode pte directly
at the pmd level. So it will find the lower bits of pmd set
and the pmd_bad check throws error. Infact the current code
will never take the free_hugepd_range call at all because it will
clear the pmd if it find a hugepd pointer. Fix this by clearing
bad pmd only if it is not a hugepd pointer.

powerpc: Switch 16GB and 16MB explicit hugepages to a different page table format
We will be switching PMD_SHIFT to 24 bits to facilitate THP impmenetation.
With PMD_SHIFT set to 24, we now have 16MB huge pages allocated at PGD level.
That means with 32 bit process we cannot allocate normal pages at
all, because we cover the entire address space with one pgd entry. Fix this
by switching to a new page table format for hugepages. With the new page table
format for 16GB and 16MB hugepages we won't allocate hugepage directory. Instead
we encode the PTE information directly at the directory level. This forces 16MB
hugepage at PMD level. This will also make the page take walk much simpler later
when we add the THP support.
With the new table format we have 4 cases for pgds and pmds:
(1) invalid (all zeroes)
(2) pointer to next table, as normal; bottom 6 bits == 0
(3) leaf pte for huge page, bottom two bits != 00
(4) hugepd pointer, bottom two bits == 00, next 4 bits indicate size of table

KVM: PPC: Implement MMU notifiers for Book3S HV guests
This adds the infrastructure to enable us to page out pages underneath
a Book3S HV guest, on processors that support virtualized partition
memory, that is, POWER7. Instead of pinning all the guest's pages,
we now look in the host userspace Linux page tables to find the
mapping for a given guest page. Then, if the userspace Linux PTE
gets invalidated, kvm_unmap_hva() gets called for that address, and
we replace all the guest HPTEs that refer to that page with absent
HPTEs, i.e. ones with the valid bit clear and the HPTE_V_ABSENT bit
set, which will cause an HDSI when the guest tries to access them.
Finally, the page fault handler is extended to reinstantiate the
guest HPTE when the guest tries to access a page which has been paged
out.
Since we can't intercept the guest DSI and ISI interrupts on PPC970,
we still have to pin all the guest pages on PPC970. We have a new flag,
kvm->arch.using_mmu_notifiers, that indicates whether we can page
guest pages out. If it is not set, the MMU notifier callbacks do
nothing and everything operates as before.

powerpc: hugetlb: modify include usage for FSL BookE code
The original 32-bit hugetlb implementation used PPC64 vs PPC32 to
determine which code path to take. However, the final hugetlb
implementation for 64-bit FSL ended up shared with the FSL
32-bit code so the actual check needs to be FSL_BOOK3E vs
everything else. This patch changes the include protections to
reflect this.
There are also a couple of related comment fixes.

powerpc: get_hugepte() don't put_page() the wrong page
"page" may have changed to point to the next hugepage after the loop
completed, The references have been taken on the head page, so the
put_page must happen there too.
This is a longstanding issue pre-thp inclusion.
It's totally unclear how these page_cache_add_speculative and
pte_val(pte) != pte_val(*ptep) checks are necessary across all the
powerpc gup_fast code, when x86 doesn't need any of that: there's no way
the page can be freed with irq disabled so we're guaranteed the
atomic_inc will happen on a page with page_count > 0 (so not needing the
speculative check).
The pte check is also meaningless on x86: no need to rollback on x86 if
the pte changed, because the pte can still change a CPU tick after the
check succeeded and it won't be rolled back in that case. The important
thing is we got a reference on a valid page that was mapped there a CPU
tick ago. So not knowing the soft tlb refill code of ppc64 in great
detail I'm not removing the "speculative" page_count increase and the
pte checks across all the code, but unless there's a strong reason for
it they should be later cleaned up too.
If a pte can change from huge to non-huge (like it could happen with
THP) passing a pte_t *ptep to gup_hugepte() would also require to repeat
the is_hugepd in gup_hugepte(), but that shouldn't happen with hugetlbfs
only so I'm not altering that.

attempting to use hugetlbfs on 64-bit Power server processors results
in an infinite stack recursion between get_unmapped_area() and
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

powerpc: Hugetlb for BookE
Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.
The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).
This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

powerpc/mm: Fix bug in gup_hugepd()
Commit a4fe3ce7699bfe1bd88f816b55d42d8fe1dac655 introduced a new
get_user_pages() path for hugepages on powerpc. Unfortunately, there
is a bug in it's loop logic, which can cause it to overrun the end of
the intended region. This came about by copying the logic from the
normal page path, which assumes the address and end parameters have
been pagesize aligned at the top-level. Since they're not *hugepage*
size aligned, the simplistic logic could step over the end of the gup
region without triggering the loop end condition.
This patch fixes the bug by using the technique that the normal page
path uses in levels above the lowest to truncate the ending address to
something we know we'll match with.

powerpc/mm: Bring hugepage PTE accessor functions back into sync with normal accessors
The hugepage arch code provides a number of hook functions/macros
which mirror the functionality of various normal page pte access
functions. Various changes in the normal page accessors (in
particular BenH's recent changes to the handling of lazy icache
flushing and PAGE_EXEC) have caused the hugepage versions to get out
of sync with the originals. In some cases, this is a bug, at least on
some MMU types.
One of the reasons that some hooks were not identical to the normal
page versions, is that the fact we're dealing with a hugepage needed
to be passed down do use the correct dcache-icache flush function.
This patch makes the main flush_dcache_icache_page() function hugepage
aware (by checking for the PageCompound flag). That in turn means we
can make set_huge_pte_at() just a call to set_pte_at() bringing it
back into sync. As a bonus, this lets us remove the
hash_huge_page_do_lazy_icache() function, replacing it with a call to
the hash_page_do_lazy_icache() function it was based on.
Some other hugepage pte access hooks - huge_ptep_get_and_clear() and
huge_ptep_clear_flush() - are not so easily unified, but this patch at
least brings them back into sync with the current versions of the
corresponding normal page functions.

powerpc/mm: Cleanup initialization of hugepages on powerpc
This patch simplifies the logic used to initialize hugepages on
powerpc. The somewhat oddly named set_huge_psize() is renamed to
add_huge_page_size() and now does all necessary verification of
whether it's given a valid hugepage sizes (instead of just some) and
instantiates the generic hstate structure (but no more).
hugetlbpage_init() now steps through the available pagesizes, checks
if they're valid for hugepages by calling add_huge_page_size() and
initializes the kmem_caches for the hugepage pagetables. This means
we can now eliminate the mmu_huge_psizes array, since we no longer
need to pass the sizing information for the pagetable caches from
set_huge_psize() into hugetlbpage_init()
Determination of the default huge page size is also moved from the

powerpc/mm: Allow more flexible layouts for hugepage pagetables
Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different
pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to
hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page
tables at a different level. Every hugepage aware path that needs to
walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the
slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables
accordingly. Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage
sizes, more layout options and more mess.
This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to
reduce this complexity. In the new scheme, instead of having to
consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the
PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables,
and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage
shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the
slice mask. This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple
levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for
now we assume only one level exists.
This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to
know how the pagetables should be set out. All other (hugepage)
pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go.
There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage
directory pointers, but it was only used for debug. We alter that
flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable
pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear
mapping). This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and
punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for
unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage
pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative.
While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating)
#defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.

powerpc/mm: Cleanup management of kmem_caches for pagetables
Currently we have a fair bit of rather fiddly code to manage the
various kmem_caches used to store page tables of various levels. We
generally have two caches holding some combination of PGD, PUD and PMD
tables, plus several more for the special hugepage pagetables.
This patch cleans this all up by taking a different approach. Rather
than the caches being designated as for PUDs or for hugeptes for 16M
pages, the caches are simply allocated to be a specific size. Thus
sharing of caches between different types/levels of pagetables happens
naturally. The pagetable size, where needed, is passed around encoded
in the same way as {PGD,PUD,PMD}_INDEX_SIZE; that is n where the
pagetable contains 2^n pointers.

But hpte_need_flush() already looks up the page sizes for its own

patch alters it to mask based on the pagesize it has looked up itself,

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the

mm: report the MMU pagesize in /proc/pid/smaps
The KernelPageSize entry in /proc/pid/smaps is the pagesize used by the
kernel to back a VMA. This matches the size used by the MMU in the
majority of cases. However, one counter-example occurs on PPC64 kernels
whereby a kernel using 64K as a base pagesize may still use 4K pages for
the MMU on older processor. To distinguish, this patch reports
MMUPageSize as the pagesize used by the MMU in /proc/pid/smaps.

powerpc: Check for valid hugepage size in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area
It looks like most of the hugetlb code is doing the correct thing if
hugepages are not supported, but the mmap code is not. If we get into
the mmap code when hugepages are not supported, such as in an LPAR
which is running Active Memory Sharing, we can oops the kernel. This
fixes the oops being seen in this path.

powerpc: Clean up hugepage pagetable allocation for powerpc with 16G pages
There is a small bug in the handling of 16G hugepages recently added
to the kernel. This doesn't cause a crash or other user-visible
problems, but it does mean that more levels of pagetable are allocated
than makes sense for 16G pages. The hugepage pagetables for the 16G
pages are allocated much lower in the pagetable tree than they should
be, with the intervening levels allocated with full pmd and pud pages
which will only ever have one entry filled in.
This corrects this problem, at the same time cleaning up the handling
of which level 64k versus 16M hugepage pagetables are allocated at.
The new way of formatting the tests should be more robust against
changes in pagetable structure, or any newly added hugepage sizes.

The 64K SPU local store mapping feature is incompatible with the

use a different page table format.
For now, disable 64K huge pages when CONFIG_SPU_FS_64K_LS,

powerpc: support multiple hugepage sizes
Instead of using the variable mmu_huge_psize to keep track of the huge
page size we use an array of MMU_PAGE_* values. For each supported huge
page size we need to know the hugepte_shift value and have a
pgtable_cache. The hstate or an mmu_huge_psizes index is passed to
functions so that they know which huge page size they should use.
The hugepage sizes 16M and 64K are setup(if available on the hardware) so
that they don't have to be set on the boot cmd line in order to use them.
The number of 16G pages have to be specified at boot-time though (e.g.
hugepagesz=16G hugepages=5).

The change in pgtable-64K.h is to the macro pte_iterate_hashed_subpages to
make the increment to va (the 1 being shifted) be a long so that it is not
shifted to 0. Otherwise it would create an infinite loop when the shift
value is for a 16G page (when base page size is 64K).

hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size
The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.
This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.
Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

[POWERPC] Use 1TB segments
This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).
We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.
We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.
Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

[POWERPC] Introduce address space "slices"
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.

get_unmapped_area handles MAP_FIXED on powerpc
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.

slab allocators: Remove obsolete SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN
This patch was recently posted to lkml and acked by Pekka.
The flag SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN is
1. Never checked by SLAB at all.
2. A duplicate of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN for SLUB
3. Fulfills the role of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN for SLOB.
The only remaining use is in sparc64 and ppc64 and their use there
reflects some earlier role that the slab flag once may have had. If
its specified then SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN is also specified.
The flag is confusing, inconsistent and has no purpose.

[POWERPC] Make tlb flush batch use lazy MMU mode
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.

[POWERPC] Fix spu SLB invalidations
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
some bits & pieces from spufs to spu_base.c

[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page
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.

[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset too
(David:)
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.

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.

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
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.

[PATCH] hugepage: is_aligned_hugepage_range() cleanup
Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced
is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to
verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping.
is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement
prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own.
Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same
implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range(). On powerpc, which
implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never
used.
In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it
suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range,
whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed).
This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range(). Instead
prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly. Most archs use the default
version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a
hugepage. ia64 and powerpc define custom versions. The ia64 one simply
checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to
being suitably aligned. The powerpc version (just as previously) checks
for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to
set up new areas for use by hugepages.
No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions on ppc64 (POWER5 LPAR).

[PATCH] powerpc: Add missing icache flushes for hugepages
On most powerpc CPUs, the dcache and icache are not coherent so
between writing and executing a page, the caches must be flushed.
Userspace programs assume pages given to them by the kernel are icache
clean, so we must do this flush between the kernel clearing a page and
it being mapped into userspace for execute. We were not doing this
for hugepages, this patch corrects the situation.
We use the same lazy mechanism as we use for normal pages, delaying
the flush until userspace actually attempts to execute from the page
in question.

[PATCH] powerpc: More hugepage boundary case fixes
Blah. The patch [0] I recently sent fixing errors with
in_hugepage_area() and prepare_hugepage_range() for powerpc itself has
an off-by-one bug. Furthermore, the related functions
touches_hugepage_*_range() and within_hugepage_*_range() are also
buggy. Some of the bugs, like those addressed in [0] originated with
commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 where we tweaked the
semantics of where hugepages are allowed. Other bugs have been there
essentially forever, and are due to the undefined behaviour of '<<'
with shift counts greater than the type width (LOW_ESID_MASK could
return non-zero for high ranges with the right congruences).
The good news is that I now have a testsuite which should pick up
things like this if they creep in again.

[PATCH] powerpc: fix for hugepage areas straddling 4GB boundary
Commit 7d24f0b8a53261709938ffabe3e00f88f6498df9 fixed bugs in the ppc64 SLB
miss handler with respect to hugepage handling, and in the process tweaked
the semantics of the hugepage address masks in mm_context_t.
Unfortunately, it left out a couple of necessary changes to go with that
change. First, the in_hugepage_area() macro was not updated to match,
second prepare_hugepage_range() was not updated to correctly handle
hugepages regions which straddled the 4GB point.
The latter appears only to cause process-hangs when attempting to map such
a region, but the former can cause oopses if a get_user_pages() is
triggered at the wrong point. This patch addresses both bugs.

[PATCH] mm: powerpc ptlock comments
Update comments (only) on page_table_lock and mmap_sem in arch/powerpc.
Removed the comment on page_table_lock from hash_huge_page: since it's no
longer taking page_table_lock itself, it's irrelevant whether others are; but
how it is safe (even against huge file truncation?) I can't say.

[PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepages
This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to
fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by
this patch).
The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64
introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id
c594adad5653491813959277fb87a2fef54c4e05) due to a misunderstanding of the
srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit
process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual).
In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for
hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for
hugepages.
In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to
be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages
if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all
addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is
governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage
if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M
granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked
for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB
granularity).
To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending
patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a
hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of
1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when
using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are
stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply
disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable
them some other day).
Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5
LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

[PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages
Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel
base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any
hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel
will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently.
Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch
will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm
still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the
information from the newer hypervisors.

powerpc: Merge arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm
This moves the remaining files in arch/ppc64/mm to arch/powerpc/mm,
and arranges that we use them when compiling with ARCH=ppc64.
