powerpc/e500: Always use 64 bits PTE

2026-03-04T05:35:06+00:00

Today there are two PTE formats for e500: - The 64 bits format, used - On 64 bits kernel - On 32 bits kernel with 64 bits physical addresses - On 32 bits kernel with support of huge pages - The 32 bits format, used in other cases Maintaining two PTE formats means unnecessary maintenance burden because every change needs to be implemented and tested for both formats. Remove the 32 bits PTE format. The memory usage increase due to larger PTEs is minimal (approx. 0,1% of memory). This also means that from now on huge pages are supported also with 32 bits physical addresses.

powerpc/mm: support page table check

2026-01-27T04:02:36+00:00

On creation and clearing of a page table mapping, instrument such calls by invoking page_table_check_pte_set and page_table_check_pte_clear respectively. These calls serve as a sanity check against illegal mappings. Enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK on powerpc, except when HUGETLB_PAGE is enabled (powerpc has some weirdness in how it implements set_huge_pte_at(), which may require some further work).

powerpc/mm: implement *_user_accessible_page() for ptes

2026-01-27T04:02:35+00:00

Page table checking depends on architectures providing an implementation of p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page. With refactorisations made on powerpc/mm, the pte_access_permitted() and similar methods verify whether a userland page is accessible with the required permissions. Since page table checking is the only user of p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page(), implement these for all platforms, using some of the same preliminary checks taken by pte_access_permitted() on that platform. Since commit 8e9bd41e4ce1 ("powerpc/nohash: Replace pte_user() by pte_read()") pte_user() is no longer required to be present on all platforms as it may be equivalent to or implied by pte_read(). Hence implementations of pte_user_accessible_page() are specialised.

powerpc/32: Automatically adapt TASK_SIZE based on constraints

2026-01-07T04:01:05+00:00

At the time being, TASK_SIZE can be customized by the user via Kconfig but it is not possible to check all constraints in Kconfig. Impossible setups are detected at compile time with BUILD_BUG() but that leads to build failure when setting crazy values. It is not a problem on its own because the user will usually either use the default value or set a well thought value. However build robots generate crazy random configs that lead to build failures, and build robots see it as a regression every time a patch adds such a constraint. So instead of failing the build when the custom TASK_SIZE is too big, just adjust it to the maximum possible value matching the setup. Several architectures already calculate TASK_SIZE based on other parameters and options. In order to do so, move MODULES_VADDR calculation into task_size_32.h and ensure that: - On book3s/32, userspace and module area have their own segments (256M) - On 8xx, userspace has its own full PGDIR entries (4M) Then TASK_SIZE is guaranteed to be correct so remove related BUILD_BUG()s.

powerpc/603: Really copy kernel PGD entries into all PGDIRs

2025-09-15T08:19:22+00:00

Commit 82ef440f9a38 ("powerpc/603: Copy kernel PGD entries into all PGDIRs and preallocate execmem page tables") was supposed to extend to powerpc 603 the copy of kernel PGD entries into all PGDIRs implemented in a previous patch on the 8xx. But 603 is book3s/32 and uses a duplicate of pgd_alloc() defined in another header. So really do the copy at the correct place for the 603.

powerpc: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-09-01T07:53:29+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 standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), apart from tweaking two comments manually in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h and arch/powerpc/include/asm/kasan.h (which did not have proper underscores at the end) and fixing a checkpatch error about spaces in arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu_csa.h.

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).
