Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

[ARM] nommu: adjust headers for !MMU ARM systems Majorily based on Hyok Choi's patches, this fixes up the asm-arm header files for mmuless systems. Over and above Hyok's patches: - nommu.h merged into mmu.h (it's only a structure) - nommu_context.h is essentially the same as mmu_context.h, but without the MM switching code. so there's no point having separate files. Also, in memory.h, there's no point #ifndef'ing PHYS_OFFSET and END_MEM - both CONFIG_DRAM_BASE and CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE will always be set by the configuration scripts. Other files have minor formatting changes, but are essentially the same. Hyok's original patches were signed off thusly: Signed-off-by: Hyok S.

ARM: LPAE: Page table maintenance for the 3-level format This patch modifies the pgd/pmd/pte manipulation functions to support the 3-level page table format. Since there is no need for an 'ext' argument to cpu_set_pte_ext(), this patch conditionally defines a different prototype for this function when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE. The patch also introduces the L_PGD_SWAPPER flag to mark pgd entries pointing to pmd tables pre-allocated in the swapper_pg_dir and avoid trying to free them at run-time. This flag is 0 with the classic page table format. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

tree wide: get rid of __GFP_REPEAT for order-0 allocations part I This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window hopefully. Motivation: While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is documented as * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop for ever. This is not implemented right now though. I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic for it. $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l 111 $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 36 So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later after all the simple ones are sorted out. I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from arch maintainers. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 19): __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0 allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail). Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

add mm argument to pte/pmd/pud/pgd_free (with Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>) The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as first argument. The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument. This is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm argument is needed on the free function as well.

CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables. Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

ARM: LPAE: Page table maintenance for the 3-level format This patch modifies the pgd/pmd/pte manipulation functions to support the 3-level page table format. Since there is no need for an 'ext' argument to cpu_set_pte_ext(), this patch conditionally defines a different prototype for this function when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE. The patch also introduces the L_PGD_SWAPPER flag to mark pgd entries pointing to pmd tables pre-allocated in the swapper_pg_dir and avoid trying to free them at run-time.

ARM: pgtable: switch order of Linux vs hardware page tables This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page table walks. As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking it away, along with the other control bits. This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables. Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM.

The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction.

[ARM] nommu: adjust headers for !MMU ARM systems Majorily based on Hyok Choi's patches, this fixes up the asm-arm header files for mmuless systems. Over and above Hyok's patches: - nommu.h merged into mmu.h (it's only a structure) - nommu_context.h is essentially the same as mmu_context.h, but without the MM switching code. so there's no point having separate files. Also, in memory.h, there's no point #ifndef'ing PHYS_OFFSET and END_MEM - both CONFIG_DRAM_BASE and CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE will always be set by the configuration scripts. Other files have minor formatting changes, but are essentially the same. Hyok's original patches were signed off thusly: Signed-off-by: Hyok S.
