Merge "Use hugepages to map kernel mem on 8xx" into next
Merge Christophe's large series to use huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx. From his cover letter: The main purpose of this big series is to: - reorganise huge page handling to avoid using mm_slices. - use huge pages to map kernel memory on the 8xx. The 8xx supports 4 page sizes: 4k, 16k, 512k and 8M. It uses 2 Level page tables, PGD having 1024 entries, each entry covering 4M address space. Then each page table has 1024 entries. At the time being, page sizes are managed in PGD entries, implying the use of mm_slices as it can't mix several pages of the same size in one page table. The first purpose of this series is to reorganise things so that standard page tables can also handle 512k pages. This is done by adding a new _PAGE_HUGE flag which will be copied into the Level 1 entry in the TLB miss handler. That done, we have 2 types of pages: - PGD entries to regular page tables handling 4k/16k and 512k pages - PGD entries to hugepd tables handling 8M pages. There is no need to mix 8M pages with other sizes, because a 8M page will use more than what a single PGD covers. Then comes the second purpose of this series. At the time being, the 8xx has implemented special handling in the TLB miss handlers in order to transparently map kernel linear address space and the IMMR using huge pages by building the TLB entries in assembly at the time of the exception. As mm_slices is only for user space pages, and also because it would anyway not be convenient to slice kernel address space, it was not possible to use huge pages for kernel address space. But after step one of the series, it is now more flexible to use huge pages. This series drop all assembly 'just in time' handling of huge pages and use huge pages in page tables instead. Once the above is done, then comes icing on the cake: - Use huge pages for KASAN shadow mapping - Allow pinned TLBs with strict kernel rwx - Allow pinned TLBs with debug pagealloc Then, last but not least, those modifications for the 8xx allows the following improvement on book3s/32: - Mapping KASAN shadow with BATs - Allowing BATs with debug pagealloc All this allows to considerably simplify TLB miss handlers and associated initialisation. The overhead of reading page tables is negligible compared to the reduction of the miss handlers. While we were at touching pte_update(), some cleanup was done there too. Tested widely on 8xx and 832x. Boot tested on QEMU MAC99.
