mm: clarify that the function operates on hugepage pte

2015-06-25T00:49:44+00:00

We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear. Add _huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on hugepage pte. We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect, pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V Acked-by: Kirill A.

sparc: Resolve conflict between sparc v9 and M7 on usage of bit 9 of TTE

2015-06-01T05:15:01+00:00

sparc: Resolve conflict between sparc v9 and M7 on usage of bit 9 of TTE Bit 9 of TTE is CV (Cacheable in V-cache) on sparc v9 processor while the same bit 9 is MCDE (Memory Corruption Detection Enable) on M7 processor. This creates a conflicting usage of the same bit. Kernel sets TTE.cv bit on all pages for sun4v architecture which works well for sparc v9 but enables memory corruption detection on M7 processor which is not the intent. This patch adds code to determine if kernel is running on M7 processor and takes steps to not enable memory corruption detection in TTE erroneously. Signed-off-by: Khalid Aziz Signed-off-by: David S.

mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs

2015-02-12T01:06:03+00:00

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account pmd page tables to the process": mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap': >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] The code: > 2857 WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) > 2858 round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT); In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0. round_up() has the same type -- int. PUD_SHIFT. I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned long. On every arch for consistency. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

sparc: drop pte_file()-related helpers

2015-02-10T22:30:33+00:00

We've replaced remap_file_pages(2) implementation with emulation. Nobody creates non-linear mapping anymore. This patch also increase number of bits availble for swap offset. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: fix huge zero page accounting in smaps report

2014-12-11T01:41:08+00:00

As a small zero page, huge zero page should not be accounted in smaps report as normal page. For small pages we rely on vm_normal_page() to filter out zero page, but vm_normal_page() is not designed to handle pmds. We only get here due hackish cast pmd to pte in smaps_pte_range() -- pte and pmd format is not necessary compatible on each and every architecture. Let's add separate codepath to handle pmds. follow_trans_huge_pmd() will detect huge zero page for us. We would need pmd_dirty() helper to do this properly. The patch adds it to THP-enabled architectures which don't yet have one. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use do_div to fix 32-bit build] Signed-off-by: "Kirill A.

sparc64: Kill unnecessary tables and increase MAX_BANKS.

2014-10-05T23:53:40+00:00

swapper_low_pmd_dir and swapper_pud_dir are actually completely useless and unnecessary. We just need swapper_pg_dir[]. Naturally the other page table chunks will be allocated on an as-needed basis. Since the kernel actually accesses these tables in the PAGE_OFFSET view, there is not even a TLB locality advantage of placing them in the kernel image. Use the hard coded vmlinux.ld.S slot for swapper_pg_dir which is naturally page aligned. Increase MAX_BANKS to 1024 in order to handle heavily fragmented virtual guests. Even with this MAX_BANKS increase, the kernel is 20K+ smaller. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Bob Picco

sparc64: Adjust vmalloc region size based upon available virtual address bits.

2014-10-05T23:53:40+00:00

In order to accomodate embedded per-cpu allocation with large numbers of cpus and numa nodes, we have to use as much virtual address space as possible for the vmalloc region. Otherwise we can get things like: PERCPU: max_distance=0x380001c10000 too large for vmalloc space 0xff00000000 So, once we select a value for PAGE_OFFSET, derive the size of the vmalloc region based upon that.

sparc64: Increase MAX_PHYS_ADDRESS_BITS to 53.

2014-10-05T23:53:40+00:00

Make sure, at compile time, that the kernel can properly support whatever MAX_PHYS_ADDRESS_BITS is defined to. On M7 chips, use a max_phys_bits value of 49. Based upon a patch by Bob Picco. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Bob Picco

sparc64: Fix physical memory management regressions with large max_phys_bits.

2014-10-05T23:53:39+00:00

If max_phys_bits needs to be > 43 (f.e. for T4 chips), things like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC stop working because the 3-level page tables only can cover up to 43 bits. Another problem is that when we increased MAX_PHYS_ADDRESS_BITS up to 47, several statically allocated tables became enormous. Compounding this is that we will need to support up to 49 bits of physical addressing for M7 chips. The two tables in question are sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap and kpte_linear_bitmap. The first holds a bitmap, with 1 bit for each 4MB chunk of physical memory, indicating whether that chunk actually exists in the machine and is valid. The second table is a set of 2-bit values which tell how large of a mapping (4MB, 256MB, 2GB, 16GB, respectively) we can use at each 256MB chunk of ram in the system. These tables are huge and take up an enormous amount of the BSS section of the sparc64 kernel image. Specifically, the sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap is 4MB, and the kpte_linear_bitmap is 128K. So let's solve the space wastage and the DEBUG_PAGEALLOC problem at the same time, by using the kernel page tables (as designed) to manage this information. We have to keep using large mappings when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is disabled, and we do this by encoding huge PMDs and PUDs. On a T4-2 with 256GB of ram the kernel page table takes up 16K with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC disabled and 256MB with it enabled. Furthermore, this memory is dynamically allocated at run time rather than coded statically into the kernel image. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Bob Picco

sparc64: Switch to 4-level page tables.

2014-10-05T23:53:38+00:00

This has become necessary with chips that support more than 43-bits of physical addressing. Based almost entirely upon a patch by Bob Picco. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Bob Picco
