arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map

2026-01-27T04:02:18+00:00

To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone limits. Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map. Some architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init(). With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup code. Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a single place. This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and initialization. Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately after setup_arch(). After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map initialization among different architectures. As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to mm_core_early_init().

LoongArch: Adjust memory management for 32BIT/64BIT

LoongArch: Use pmd()/pte() for swap entry conversions

2025-12-06T02:39:48+00:00

The __pmd() and __pte() helper macros provide the correct initialization syntax and abstraction for the pmd_t and pte_t types. Use __pmd() to fix follow warning about __swp_entry_to_pmd() with gcc-15 under specific configs [1] : In file included from ./include/linux/pgtable.h:6, from ./include/linux/mm.h:31, from ./include/linux/pagemap.h:8, from arch/loongarch/mm/init.c:14: ./include/linux/swapops.h: In function ‘swp_entry_to_pmd’: ./arch/loongarch/include/asm/pgtable.h:302:34: error: missing braces around initializer [-Werror=missing-braces] 302 | #define __swp_entry_to_pmd(x) ((pmd_t) { (x).val | _PAGE_HUGE }) | ^ ./include/linux/swapops.h:559:16: note: in expansion of macro ‘__swp_entry_to_pmd’ 559 | return __swp_entry_to_pmd(arch_entry); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Also update __swp_entry_to_pte() to use __pte() for consistency.

LoongArch: Let {pte,pmd}_modify() record the status of _PAGE_DIRTY

2025-11-10T00:37:06+00:00

Now if the PTE/PMD is dirty with _PAGE_DIRTY but without _PAGE_MODIFIED, after {pte,pmd}_modify() we lose _PAGE_DIRTY, then {pte,pmd}_dirty() return false and lead to data loss. This can happen in certain scenarios such as HW PTW doesn't set _PAGE_MODIFIED automatically, so here we need _PAGE_MODIFIED to record the dirty status (_PAGE_DIRTY). The new modification involves checking whether the original PTE/PMD has the _PAGE_DIRTY flag. If it exists, the _PAGE_MODIFIED bit is also set, ensuring that the {pte,pmd}_dirty() interface can always return accurate information.

mm: remove devmap related functions and page table bits

2025-07-10T05:42:18+00:00

Now that DAX and all other reference counts to ZONE_DEVICE pages are managed normally there is no need for the special devmap PTE/PMD/PUD page table bits. So drop all references to these, freeing up a software defined page table bit on architectures supporting it.

LoongArch: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in headers

2025-06-26T12:07:10+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), with one comment tweaked manually in the arch/loongarch/include/asm/cpu.h file (it was missing the trailing underscores).

mm: pgtable: fix pte_swp_exclusive

2025-06-11T21:52:08+00:00

Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int. This will better reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code. This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper 32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).
