mm: introduce memdesc_flags_t

2025-09-13T23:55:07+00:00

Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t". At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct folio. This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags' word of all three structures. This gives us a certain amount of type safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID, section number and zone number in the upper bits. That lets us have functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone. There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f instead. That's most of the churn here. Maybe we should be removing these things from the debug output? This patch (of 11): Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef. In upcoming patches, this will provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to functions which take this as an argument.

ARC: mm: retire support for aliasing VIPT D$

2023-12-09T00:30:24+00:00

Legacy ARC700 processors (first generation of MMU enabled ARC cores) had VIPT cached which could be configured such that they could alias. Corresponding support in kernel (with all the obnoxious cache flush overhead) was added in ARC port 10 years ago to support 1 silicon. That is long bygone and we can let it RIP.

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: -Wmissing-prototype warning fixes

2023-08-13T23:53:02+00:00

Anrd reported [1] new compiler warnings due to -Wmissing-protype. These are for non static functions mostly used in asm code hence not exported already. Fix this by adding the prototypes.
