2011-05-25mm, powerpc: move the RCU page-table freeing into generic codePeter Zijlstra1-3/+18
In case other architectures require RCU freed page-tables to implement gup_fast() and software filled hashes and similar things, provide the means to do so by moving the logic into generic code.

2011-05-25powerpc: mmu_gather reworkPeter Zijlstra1-2/+2
Fix up powerpc to the new mmu_gather stuff. PPC has an extra batching queue to RCU free the actual pagetable allocations, use the ARCH extentions for that for now. For the ppc64_tlb_batch, which tracks the vaddrs to unhash from the hardware hash-table, keep using per-cpu arrays but flush on context switch and use a TLF bit to track the lazy_mmu state.

2009-10-30powerpc/mm: Cleanup management of kmem_caches for pagetablesDavid Gibson1-26/+4
Currently we have a fair bit of rather fiddly code to manage the various kmem_caches used to store page tables of various levels. We generally have two caches holding some combination of PGD, PUD and PMD tables, plus several more for the special hugepage pagetables. This patch cleans this all up by taking a different approach. Rather than the caches being designated as for PUDs or for hugeptes for 16M pages, the caches are simply allocated to be a specific size. Thus sharing of caches between different types/levels of pagetables happens naturally. The pagetable size, where needed, is passed around encoded in the same way as {PGD,PUD,PMD}_INDEX_SIZE; that is n where the pagetable contains 2^n pointers.

2009-08-20powerpc/mm: Fix encoding of page table cache numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-1/+6
The mask used to encode the page table cache number in the batch when freeing page tables was too small for the new possible values of MMU page sizes. This increases it along with a comment explaining the constraints. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-08-20powerpc/mm: Rework & cleanup page table freeing code pathBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-11/+28
That patch used to just add a hook to page table flushing but pulling that string brought out a whole bunch of issues, so it now does that and more: - We now make the RCU batching of page freeing SMP only, as I believe it was intended initially. We make a few more things compile to nothing on !CONFIG_SMP - Some macros are turned into functions, though that forced me to out of line a few stuffs due to unsolvable include depenencies, however it's probably better that way anyway, it's not -that- critical code path. - 32-bit didn't call pte_free_finish() on tlb_flush() which means that it wouldn't push out the batch to RCU for delayed freeing when a bunch of page tables have been freed, they would just stay in there until the batch gets full. 64-bit BookE will use that hook to maintain the virtually linear page tables or the indirect entries in the TLB when using the HW loader.

2009-07-27mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()Benjamin Herrenschmidt1-3/+3
mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb() Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works. Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted, we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions. The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

2008-12-03powerpc: Use RCU based pte freeing mechanism for all powerpcKumar Gala1-0/+41
Refactor the RCU based pte free code that was used on ppc64 to be used on all powerpc. Additionally refactor pte_free() & pte_free_kernel() into common code between ppc32 & ppc64. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-08-04powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell1-0/+12
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
