<id>urn:sha1:7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b</id>
<content type='text'>
The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).

But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.

So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

&lt;linux/cacheflush.h&gt; from &lt;asm-generic/cacheflush.h&gt;.  Remove the
flush_icache_page() wrapper from each architecture into

<id>urn:sha1:1362d15ffb59db65b2df354b548b7915686cb05c</id>
<content type='text'>
The final icache_flush was in the update_mmu_cache, and update_mmu_cache
is after the set_pte_at. Thus, when CPU0 sets the pte,  the other CPU
would see it before the icache_flush broadcast happens, and their
icaches may have cached stale VIPT cache lines in their I-caches. When
address translation was ready for the new cache line, they will use the
stale data of icache, not the fresh one of the dcache.

The csky instruction cache is VIPT, and it needs an origin virtual
address to invalidate the virtual address index entries of cache ways.
The current implementation uses a temporary mapping mechanism -
kmap_atomic, which returns a new virtual address for invalidation. But,
the original virtual address cache line may still in the I-cache.

So force invalidation I-cache in update_mmu_cache, and prevent
flush_dcache when there is an EXEC page. This bug was detected in the
4*c860 SMP system, and this patch could pass the stress test.

<title>csky: mmu: Prevent spurious page faults</title>

<content type='text'>
C-SKY MMU would pre-fetch invalid pte entries, and it could work with
flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault, but the additional page fault exceptions
would reduce performance. So flushing the entry of the TLB would prevent
the following spurious page faults. Here is the test code:

define DATA_LEN  4096
define COPY_NUM  (504*100)

unsigned char src[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char dst[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};

unsigned char func_src[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};
unsigned char func_dst[DATA_LEN*COPY_NUM] = {0};

void main(void)
{
	int j;
	for (j = 0; j &lt; COPY_NUM; j++)
		memcpy(&amp;dst[j*DATA_LEN], &amp;src[j*DATA_LEN], 4);
}

perf stat -e page-faults ./main.elf

The amount of page fault traps would be reduced in half with the patch.

<title>csky/mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:41e0d49104dbff888ef6446ea46842fde66c0a76</id>
<content type='text'>
Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by stealing one bit from the
offset.  This reduces the maximum swap space per file to 16 GiB (was 32
GiB).

We might actually be able to reuse one of the other software bits
(_PAGE_READ / PAGE_WRITE) instead, because we only have to keep
pte_present(), pte_none() and HW happy.  For now, let's keep it simple
because there might be something non-obvious.

Try to access RAM with the largest bit width possible, but without
doing unaligned accesses.

A further improvement could be to use multiple read and writes as the
assembly version was trying to do.

Tested on a BeagleV Starlight with a SiFive U74 core, where the
improvement is noticeable.
