2008-02-08CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.Martin Schwidefsky
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.

2008-02-07Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0H. Peter Anvin
struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers, which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it just makes the code messy. Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof() instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

2008-02-05maps4: rework TASK_SIZE macrosDave Hansen
The following replaces the earlier patches sent. It should address David Rientjes's comments, and has been compile tested on all the architectures that it touches, save for parisc. For the /proc/<pid>/pagemap code[1], we need to able to query how much virtual address space a particular task has. The trick is that we do it through /proc and can't use TASK_SIZE since it references "current" on some arches. The process opening the /proc file might be a 32-bit process opening a 64-bit process's pagemap file. x86_64 already has a TASK_SIZE_OF() macro: #define TASK_SIZE_OF(child) ((test_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_IA32)) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE64) I'd like to have that for other architectures. So, add it for all the architectures that actually use "current" in their TASK_SIZE. For the others, just add a quick #define in sched.h to use plain old TASK_SIZE. 1. http://www.linuxworld.com/news/2007/042407-kernel.html - MIPS portion from Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-01-29[MIPS] R4000/R4400 daddiu erratum workaroundMaciej W. Rozycki
This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds bits for the daddiu problem. In most places it just modifies handwritten assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li and daddu. It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected, using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas. This feature is only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays unchanged. Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable). Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented. Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate. These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the run time. Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in a branch delay slot.

2008-01-29[MIPS] R4000/R4400 errata workaroundsMaciej W. Rozycki
This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds. They include compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions. Changes included are as follows: 1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary. 2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as horribly intrusive for little gain). 3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it. On the other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to have been initialised (and is there mainly for information). 4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers. 5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly. Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards).

2007-11-26[MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register.Ralf Baechle
The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will be generated. This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent. So a simple workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the affected CPUs. This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents; at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented and tested. Another thing to find out is which processor versions exactly are affected. I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0 available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken. This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.

Frequently we were just getting away with this bug for a number of reasons: o Real world application scenarios are very unlikely to use clone or fork in blocks of DSP code. o Linux by default runs the child process right after the fork, so the child by luck will find all the right context in the DSP and userlocal registers. o So far the rdhwr instruction was emulated on all hardware so userlocal wasn't getting referenced at all and the emulation wasn't suffering from the issue since it gets it's value straight from the thread's thread_info. Fixed by moving the code to load the context from switch_to() to finish_arch_switch which will be called by newborn and old threads. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2007-11-15[MIPS] Fix shadow register support.Ralf Baechle
Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore systems. The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels. SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code. So fix the allocator by ditching it. Move the remaining CPU probe bits into the generic CPU probe. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
