parisc: Switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM

2019-05-03T21:47:40+00:00

The commit 1c30844d2dfe ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") breaks memory management on a parisc c8000 workstation with this memory layout: 0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB 1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB 2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB With the patch 1c30844d2dfe, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB. The parisc kernel is currently using the DISCONTIGMEM implementation, but isn't NUMA. Avoid this issue or strange work-arounds by switching to the more commonly used SPARSEMEM implementation.

parisc: Export __cmpxchg_u64 unconditionally

__cmpxchg_u64 is built and used outside CONFIG_64BIT and thus needs to be exported. This fixes the following build error seen when building parisc:allmodconfig. ERROR: "__cmpxchg_u64" [drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e.ko] undefined! Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Clean up fixup routines for get_user()/put_user()

2017-03-29T19:50:36+00:00

Al Viro noticed that userspace accesses via get_user()/put_user() can be simplified a lot with regard to usage of the exception handling. This patch implements a fixup routine for get_user() and put_user() in such that the exception handler will automatically load -EFAULT into the register %r8 (the error value) in case on a fault on userspace. Additionally the fixup routine will zero the target register on fault in case of a get_user() call. The target register is extracted out of the faulting assembly instruction. This patch brings a few benefits over the old implementation: 1. Exception handling gets much cleaner, easier and smaller in size. 2. Helper functions like fixup_get_user_skip_1 (all of fixup.S) can be dropped. 3. No need to hardcode %r9 as target register for get_user() any longer. This helps the compiler register allocator and thus creates less assembler statements. 4. No dependency on the exception_data contents any longer. 5. Nested faults will be handled cleanly.

parisc: Avoid function pointers for kernel exception routines

2016-04-08T20:13:45+00:00

We want to avoid the kernel module loader to create function pointers for the kernel fixup routines of get_user() and put_user(). Changing the external reference from function type to int type fixes this. This unbreaks exception handling for get_user() and put_user() when called from a kernel module.

parisc: fixes and cleanups in page cache flushing (1/4)

2013-02-20T21:49:19+00:00

This is the first patch in a series of 4, with which the page cache flushing of parisc will gets fixed and enhanced. This even fixes the nasty "minifail" bug (http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/TestCases?highlight=%28minifail%29) which prevented parisc to stay an official debian port. Basically the flush in copy_user_page together with the TLB patch from commit 7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 is what fixes the minifail bug. This patch still uses the TMPALIAS approach. The new copy_user_page implementation calls flush_dcache_page_asm to flush the user dcache page (crucial for minifail fix) via a kernel TMPALIAS mapping. After that, it just copies the page using the kernel mapping. It does a final flush if needed. Generally it is hard to avoid doing some cache flushes using the kernel mapping (e.g., copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page). This patch depends on a subsequent change to pacache.S implementing clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm. These are optimized routines to clear and copy a page. The calls in clear_user_page and copy_user_page could be replaced by calls to memset and memcpy, respectively. I tested prefetch optimizations in clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm but didn't see any significant performance improvement on rp3440. I'm not sure if these are routines are significantly faster than memset and/or memcpy, but they are there for further performance evaluation.
