powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Add support for reserving gigantic huge pages via kernel command line

2017-08-16T04:56:12+00:00

With commit aa888a74977a8 ("hugetlb: support larger than MAX_ORDER") we added support for allocating gigantic hugepages via kernel command line. Switch ppc64 arch specific code to use that. W.r.t FSL support, we now limit our allocation range using BOOTMEM_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE. We use the kernel command line to do reservation of hugetlb pages on powernv platforms. On pseries hash mmu mode the supported gigantic huge page size is 16GB and that can only be allocated with hypervisor assist. For pseries the command line option doesn't do the allocation. Instead pseries does gigantic hugepage allocation based on hypervisor hint that is specified via "ibm,expected#pages" property of the memory node.

powerpc/mm: Implement STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32

2017-08-15T12:55:57+00:00

This patch implements STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32. As for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, it deactivates BAT and LTLB mappings in order to allow page protection setup at the level of each page. As BAT/LTLB mappings are deactivated, there might be a performance impact. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/32: Add missing \n and switch to pr_warn()

2016-09-13T07:37:11+00:00

The message is missing a \n, add it. Switch to pr_warn(), it's shorter and less ugly. Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/32: Remove RELOCATABLE_PPC32

2016-07-19T10:17:07+00:00

It is seldom used in the kernel code and can be easily replaced by either RELOCATABLE or PPC32. So there is no reason to keep a separate kernel option for this. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: query dynamic DEBUG_PAGEALLOC setting

We can disable debug_pagealloc processing even if the code is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This patch changes the code to query whether it is enabled or not in runtime.
