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.

powerpc: Replace CONFIG_4xx with CONFIG_44x

2024-06-28T12:28:48+00:00

Replace 4xx usage with 44x, and replace 4xx_SOC with 44x. Also, as pointed out by Christophe, if 44x || BOOKE can be simplified to just test BOOKE, because 44x always selects BOOKE. Retain the CONFIG_4xx symbol, as there are drivers that use it to mean 4xx || 44x, those will need updating before CONFIG_4xx can be removed.

powerpc/mem: Inline flush_dcache_page()

2021-04-14T13:04:19+00:00

flush_dcache_page() is only a few lines, it is worth inlining. ia64, csky, mips, openrisc and riscv have a similar flush_dcache_page() and inline it. On pmac32_defconfig, we get a small size reduction. On ppc64_defconfig, we get a very small size increase. In both case that's in the noise (less than 0.1%). text data bss dec hex filename 18991155 5934744 1497624 26423523 19330e3 vmlinux64.before 18994829 5936732 1497624 26429185 1934701 vmlinux64.after 9150963 2467502 184548 11803013 b41985 vmlinux32.before 9149689 2467302 184548 11801539 b413c3 vmlinux32.after Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/21c417488b70b7629dae316539fb7bb8bdef4fdd.1617895813.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu

powerpc/pmem: Add flush routines using new pmem store and sync instruction

2020-07-16T03:00:22+00:00

Start using dcbstps; phwsync; sequence for flushing persistent memory range. The new instructions are implemented as a variant of dcbf and hwsync and on P8 and P9 they will be executed as those instructions. We avoid using them on older hardware.
