ARC: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in the non-uapi headers

2025-06-09T16:18:12+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now. This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement).

mm: introduce a common definition of mk_pte()

2025-05-12T00:48:02+00:00

Most architectures simply call pfn_pte(). Centralise that as the normal definition and remove the definition of mk_pte() from the architectures which have either that exact definition or something similar.

ARC: mm: Make virt_to_pfn() a static inline

2023-12-05T12:11:37+00:00

Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed (const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments without warnings. In order to do this we move the virt_to_phys() and below the definition of the __pa() and __va() macros so it compiles. The macro version was also able to do recursive symbol resolution.

arc: implement the new page table range API

2023-08-24T23:20:20+00:00

Add PFN_PTE_SHIFT, update_mmu_cache_range(), flush_dcache_folio() and flush_icache_pages(). Change the PG_dc_clean flag from being per-page to per-folio (which means it cannot always be set as we don't know that all pages in this folio were cleaned). Enhance the internal flush routines to take the number of pages to flush.

ARC: mm: fix leakage of memory allocated for PTE

2022-10-17T23:32:12+00:00

Since commit d9820ff ("ARC: mm: switch pgtable_t back to struct page *") a memory leakage problem occurs. Memory allocated for page table entries not released during process termination. This issue can be reproduced by a small program that allocates a large amount of memory. After several runs, you'll see that the amount of free memory has reduced and will continue to reduce after each run. All ARC CPUs are effected by this issue. The issue was introduced since the kernel stable release v5.15-rc1. As described in commit d9820ff after switch pgtable_t back to struct page *, a pointer to "struct page" and appropriate functions are used to allocate and free a memory page for PTEs, but the pmd_pgtable macro hasn't changed and returns the direct virtual address from the PMD (PGD) entry. Than this address used as a parameter in the __pte_free() and as a result this function couldn't release memory page allocated for PTEs. Fix this issue by changing the pmd_pgtable macro and returning pointer to struct page.

They were in and have been removed from there in 974b9b2c68f ("mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions") in favor of the generic version.

arch: Add pmd_pfn() where it is missing

2022-03-21T16:59:02+00:00

We need to use this function in common code, so define it for architectures and/or configrations that miss it. The result of pmd_pfn() will only be used if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is enabled, but a function or macro called pmd_pfn() must be defined, even on machines with two level page tables.

ARC: mm: support 3 levels of page tables

2021-08-26T20:43:19+00:00

ARCv2 MMU is software walked and Linux implements 2 levels of paging: pgd/pte. Forthcoming hw will have multiple levels, so this change preps mm code for same. It is also fun to try multi levels even on soft-walked code to ensure generic mm code is robust to handle. overview ________ 2 levels {pgd, pte} : pmd is folded but pmd_* macros are valid and operate on pgd 3 levels {pgd, pmd, pte}: - pud is folded and pud_* macros point to pgd - pmd_* macros operate on actual pmd code changes ____________ 1. #include 2. Define CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS 3 3a. Define PMD_SHIFT, PMD_SIZE, PMD_MASK, pmd_t 3b. Define pmd_val() which actually deals with pmd (pmd_offset(), pmd_index() are provided by generic code) 3c. pmd_alloc_one()/pmd_free() also provided by generic code (pmd_populate/pmd_free already exist) 4. Define pud_none(), pud_bad() macros based on generic pud_val() which internally pertains to pgd now. 4b. define pud_populate() to just setup pgd Acked-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta
