mm: remove kern_addr_valid() completely

2024-11-08T15:26:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit e025ab842ec35225b1a8e163d1f311beb9e38ce9 ] Most architectures (except arm64/x86/sparc) simply return 1 for kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it calls copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the address is a valid kernel address. So as there is no need for kern_addr_valid(), let's remove it.

ARM: 9266/1: mm: fix no-MMU ZERO_PAGE() implementation

2022-11-07T14:16:44+00:00

Actually in no-MMU SoCs(i.e. i.MXRT) ZERO_PAGE(vaddr) expands to ``` virt_to_page(0) ``` that in order expands to: ``` pfn_to_page(virt_to_pfn(0)) ``` and then virt_to_pfn(0) to: ``` ((((unsigned long)(0) - PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT) + PHYS_PFN_OFFSET) ``` where PAGE_OFFSET and PHYS_PFN_OFFSET are the DRAM offset(0x80000000) and PAGE_SHIFT is 12. This way we obtain 16MB(0x01000000) summed to the base of DRAM(0x80000000). When ZERO_PAGE(0) is then used, for example in bio_add_page(), the page gets an address that is out of DRAM bounds. So instead of using fake virtual page 0 let's allocate a dedicated zero_page during paging_init() and assign it to a global 'struct page * empty_zero_page' the same way mmu.c does and it's the same approach used in m68k with commit dc068f462179 as discussed here[0]. Then let's move ZERO_PAGE() definition to the top of pgtable.h to be in common between mmu.c and nommu.c.

arm/mm: enable ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT

2022-07-18T00:14:41+00:00

This enables ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT on the platform and exports standard vm_get_page_prot() implementation via DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT, which looks up a private and static protection_map[] array. Subsequently all __SXXX and __PXXX macros can be dropped which are no longer needed.

ARM: update __swp_entry_to_pte() to use PTE_TYPE_FAULT

2021-06-07T11:55:30+00:00

Swap entries use a faulting PTE which have the least two significant bits as zero. Due to this, the use of PTE_TYPE_FAULT was overlooked, but really should have been included in __swp_entry_to_pte(). Convert this macro to use PTE_TYPE_FAULT to properly document what is going on here, and use __pte() to convert the swp_entry_t to a pte_t. This results in no change to the resulting kernel image.

ARM: mm: add missing pud_page define to 2-level page tables

2021-04-30T18:20:39+00:00

Patch series "huge vmalloc mappings", v13. The kernel virtual mapping layer grew support for mapping memory with > PAGE_SIZE ptes with commit 0ddab1d2ed66 ("lib/ioremap.c: add huge I/O map capability interfaces"), and implemented support for using those huge page mappings with ioremap. According to the submission, the use-case is mapping very large non-volatile memory devices, which could be GB or TB: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1425404664-19675-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hp.com/ The benefit is said to be in the overhead of maintaining the mapping, perhaps both in memory overhead and setup / teardown time. Memory overhead for the mapping with a 4kB page and 8 byte page table is 2GB per TB of mapping, down to 4MB / TB with 2MB pages. The same huge page vmap infrastructure can be quite easily adapted and used for mapping vmalloc memory pages without more complexity for arch or core vmap code. However unlike ioremap, vmalloc page table overhead is not a real problem, so the advantage to justify this is performance. Several of the most structures in the kernel (e.g., vfs and network hash tables) are allocated with vmalloc on NUMA machines, in order to distribute access bandwidth over the machine. Mapping these with larger pages can improve TLB usage significantly, for example this reduces TLB misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a 2-node POWER9 (59,800 -> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%, due to vfs hashes being allocated with 2MB pages. [ Other numbers? - The difference is even larger in a guest due to more costly TLB misses. - Eric Dumazet was keen on the network hash performance possibilities. - Other archs? Ding was doing x86 testing. ] The kernel module allocator also uses vmalloc to map module images even on non-NUMA, which can result in high iTLB pressure on highly modular distro type of kernels. This series does not implement huge mappings for modules yet, but it's a step along the way. Rick Edgecombe was looking at that IIRC. The per-cpu allocator similarly might be able to take advantage of this. Also on the todo list. The disadvantages of this I can see are: * Memory fragmentation can waste some physical memory because it will attempt to allocate larger pages to fit the required size, rounding up (once the requested size is >= 2MB). - I don't see it being a big problem in practice unless some user crops up that allocates thousands of 2.5MB ranges. We can tewak heuristics a bit there if needed to reduce peak waste. * Less granular mappings can make the NUMA distribution less balanced. - Similar to the above. - Could also allocate all major system hashes with one allocation up-front and spread them all across the one block, which should help overall NUMA distribution and reduce fragmentation waste. * Callers might expect something about the underlying allocated pages. - Tried to keep the apperance of base PAGE_SIZE pages throughout the APIs and exposed data structures. - Added a VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP flag to hammer troublesome cases with. - Finally, added a nohugevmalloc boot option to turn it off (independent of nohugeiomap). This patch (of 14): ARM uses its own PMD folding scheme which is missing pud_page which should just pass through to pmd_page. Move this from the 3-level page table to common header.

mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions

2020-06-09T16:39:14+00:00

All architectures define pte_index() as (address >> PAGE_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PTE - 1) and all architectures define pte_offset_kernel() as an entry in the array of PTEs indexed by the pte_index(). For the most architectures the pte_offset_kernel() implementation relies on the availability of pmd_page_vaddr() that converts a PMD entry value to the virtual address of the page containing PTEs array. Let's move x86 definitions of the PTE accessors to the generic place in and then simply drop the respective definitions from the other architectures. The architectures that didn't provide pmd_page_vaddr() are updated to have that defined. The generic implementation of pte_offset_kernel() can be overridden by an architecture and alpha makes use of this because it has special ordering requirements for its version of pte_offset_kernel().

mm/special: create generic fallbacks for pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()

2020-04-10T22:36:21+00:00

Currently there are many platforms that dont enable ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL but required to define quite similar fallback stubs for special page table entry helpers such as pte_special() and pte_mkspecial(), as they get build in generic MM without a config check. This creates two generic fallback stub definitions for these helpers, eliminating much code duplication. mips platform has a special case where pte_special() and pte_mkspecial() visibility is wider than what ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL enablement requires. This restricts those symbol visibility in order to avoid redefinitions which is now exposed through this new generic stubs and subsequent build failure. arm platform set_pte_at() definition needs to be moved into a C file just to prevent a build failure.
