mips: fix HIGHMEM initialization

2026-01-23T10:21:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit f171b55f1441294344b86edfeaa575ea9673fd23 ] Commit 6faea3422e3b ("arch, mm: streamline HIGHMEM freeing") overzealously removed mem_init_free_highmem() function that beside freeing high memory pages checked for CPU support for high memory as a prerequisite. Partially restore mem_init_free_highmem() with a new highmem_init() name and make it discard high memory in case there is no CPU support for it.

MIPS: mm: kmalloc tlb_vpn array to avoid stack overflow

2025-11-29T12:36:05+00:00

Owing to Config4.MMUSizeExt and VTLB/FTLB MMU features later MIPSr2+ cores can have more than 64 TLB entries. Therefore allocate an array for uniquification instead of placing too an small array on the stack. Fixes: 35ad7e181541 ("MIPS: mm: tlb-r4k: Uniquify TLB entries on init") Co-developed-by: Maciej W.

MIPS: mm: Prevent a TLB shutdown on initial uniquification

2025-11-21T12:23:21+00:00

Depending on the particular CPU implementation a TLB shutdown may occur if multiple matching entries are detected upon the execution of a TLBP or the TLBWI/TLBWR instructions. Given that we don't know what entries we have been handed we need to be very careful with the initial TLB setup and avoid all these instructions. Therefore read all the TLB entries one by one with the TLBR instruction, bypassing the content addressing logic, and truncate any large pages in place so as to avoid a case in the second step where an incoming entry for a large page at a lower address overlaps with a replacement entry chosen at another index. Then preinitialize the TLB using addresses outside our usual unique range and avoiding clashes with any entries received, before making the usual call to local_flush_tlb_all(). This fixes (at least) R4x00 cores if TLBP hits multiple matching TLB entries (SGI IP22 PROM for examples sets up all TLBs to the same virtual address). Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

mips: mm: convert __flush_dcache_pages() to __flush_dcache_folio_pages()

2025-09-21T21:22:06+00:00

Let's make it clearer that we are operating within a single folio by providing both the folio and the page. This implies that for flush_dcache_folio() we'll now avoid one more page->folio lookup, and that we can safely drop the "nth_page" usage. While at it, drop the "extern" from the function declaration.

MIPS: Don't use %pK through printk

2025-07-28T07:58:49+00:00

Restricted pointers ("%pK") are not meant to be used through printk(). It can unintentionally expose security sensitive, raw pointer values. Use regular pointer formatting instead.

MIPS: mm: tlb-r4k: Uniquify TLB entries on init

2025-07-16T18:01:07+00:00

Hardware or bootloader will initialize TLB entries to any value, which may collide with kernel's UNIQUE_ENTRYHI value. On MIPS microAptiv/M5150 family of cores this will trigger machine check exception and cause boot failure. On M5150 simulation this could happen 7 times out of 1000 boots. Replace local_flush_tlb_all() with r4k_tlb_uniquify() which probes each TLB ENTRIHI unique value for collisions before it's written, and in case of collision try a different ASID.

arch, mm: make releasing of memory to page allocator more explicit

2025-03-18T05:06:53+00:00

The point where the memory is released from memblock to the buddy allocator is hidden inside arch-specific mem_init()s and the call to memblock_free_all() is needlessly duplicated in every artiste cure and after introduction of arch_mm_preinit() hook, mem_init() implementation on many architecture only contains the call to memblock_free_all(). Pull memblock_free_all() call into mm_core_init() and drop mem_init() on relevant architectures to make it more explicit where the free memory is released from memblock to the buddy allocator and to reduce code duplication in architecture specific code.

arch, mm: introduce arch_mm_preinit

2025-03-18T05:06:53+00:00

Currently, implementation of mem_init() in every architecture consists of one or more of the following: * initializations that must run before page allocator is active, for instance swiotlb_init() * a call to memblock_free_all() to release all the memory to the buddy allocator * initializations that must run after page allocator is ready and there is no arch-specific hook other than mem_init() for that, like for example register_page_bootmem_info() in x86 and sparc64 or simple setting of mem_init_done = 1 in several architectures * a bunch of semi-related stuff that apparently had no better place to live, for example a ton of BUILD_BUG_ON()s in parisc. Introduce arch_mm_preinit() that will be the first thing called from mm_core_init(). On architectures that have initializations that must happen before the page allocator is ready, move those into arch_mm_preinit() along with the code that does not depend on ordering with page allocator setup. On several architectures this results in reduction of mem_init() to a single call to memblock_free_all() that allows its consolidation next.

arch, mm: streamline HIGHMEM freeing

2025-03-18T05:06:53+00:00

All architectures that support HIGHMEM have their code that frees high memory pages to the buddy allocator while __free_memory_core() is limited to freeing only low memory. There is no actual reason for that. The memory map is completely ready by the time memblock_free_all() is called and high pages can be released to the buddy allocator along with low memory. Remove low memory limit from __free_memory_core() and drop per-architecture code that frees high memory pages.
