revert "s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time decision"

2015-07-17T23:39:52+00:00

Heiko noticed that the current check for hugepage support on s390 is a little bit too harsh as systems which do not support will crash. The reason is that pageblock_order can now get negative when we set HPAGE_SHIFT to 0. To avoid all this and to avoid opening another can of worms with enabling HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE I think it would be best to simply allow architectures to define their own hugepages_supported().

s390/mm: change HPAGE_SHIFT type to int

2015-06-26T00:00:35+00:00

With making HPAGE_SHIFT an unsigned integer we also accidentally changed pageblock_order. In order to avoid compiler warnings we make HPAGE_SHFIT an int again.

s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time decision

2015-06-26T00:00:35+00:00

There is a potential bug with KVM and hugetlbfs if the hardware does not support hugepages (EDAT1). We fix this by making EDAT1 a hard requirement for hugepages and therefore removing and simplifying code. As s390, with the sw-emulated hugepages, was the only user of arch_prepare/release_hugepage I also removed theses calls from common and other architecture code. This patch (of 5): By dropping support for hugepages on machines which do not have the hardware feature EDAT1, we fix a potential s390 KVM bug. The bug would happen if a guest is backed by hugetlbfs (not supported currently), but does not get pagetables with PGSTE. This would lead to random memory overwrites.

s390/kvm: remove delayed reallocation of page tables for KVM

2015-04-23T14:55:49+00:00

Replacing a 2K page table with a 4K page table while a VMA is active for the affected memory region is fundamentally broken. Rip out the page table reallocation code and replace it with a simple system control 'vm.allocate_pgste'. If the system control is set the page tables for all processes are allocated as full 4K pages, even for processes that do not need it. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: remove 31 bit support

2015-03-25T10:49:33+00:00

Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel. The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit code. We didn't get any response. Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's remove the code. Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

s390/mm: avoid using pmd_to_page for !USE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS

2015-01-08T09:02:18+00:00

pmd_to_page() is only available if USE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS is defined. The use of pmd_to_page in the gmap code can cause compile errors if NR_CPUS is smaller than SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS. Do not use pmd_to_page outside of USE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS sections. Reported-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
