* powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell2008-08-041-155/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* powerpc/mm: Implement _PAGE_SPECIAL & pte_special() for 64-bitNick Piggin2008-07-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement _PAGE_SPECIAL and pte_special() for 64-bit powerpc. This bit will be used by the fast get_user_pages() to differenciate PTEs that correspond to a valid struct page from special mappings that don't such as IO mappings obtained via io_remap_pfn_ranges().

* powerpc: define support for 16G hugepagesJon Tollefson2008-07-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The huge page size is defined for 16G pages. If a hugepagesz of 16G is specified at boot-time then it becomes the huge page size instead of the default 16M. The change in pgtable-64K.h is to the macro pte_iterate_hashed_subpages to make the increment to va (the 1 being shifted) be a long so that it is not shifted to 0. Otherwise it would create an infinite loop when the shift value is for a 16G page (when base page size is 64K).

* powerpc: Free a PTE bit on ppc64 with 64K pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-06-301-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | This frees a PTE bit when using 64K pages on ppc64. This is done by getting rid of the separate _PAGE_HASHPTE bit. Instead, we just test if any of the 16 sub-page bits is set. For non-combo pages (ie. real 64K pages), we set SUB0 and the location encoding in that field.

* [POWERPC] Provide a way to protect 4k subpages when using 64k pagesPaul Mackerras2008-01-241-1/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and the normal system calls for controlling page protections. Of course, the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty slow. This provides a facility for such programs to control the access permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages. The idea is that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a specified range of virtual addresses. These masks are applied at the level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected. Note that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be allowed. This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages. The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array of protection masks in memory. The array has a 32-bit word per 64k page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields, for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access. Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support). In fact the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future to switch only the affected segments. The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the page table tree. The top level of this tree is stored in a structure that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the pgd array. Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB) that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those for higher addresses.

* [POWERPC] Size swapper_pg_dir correctlyStephen Rothwell2007-09-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | David Gibson pointed out that swapper_pg_dir actually need to be PGD_TABLE_SIZE bytes long not PAGE_SIZE. This actually saves 64k in the bss for a kernel ppc64_defconfig built with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES.

* [POWERPC] Expand RPN field to 34 bits when using 64k pagesPaul Mackerras2007-08-031-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | The real page number field in our PTEs when configured for 64kB pages is currently 32 bits, which turns out to be not quite enough for the resources that the eHCA driver wants to map. This expands the RPN field to include 2 adjacent, previously-unused bits. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

* [POWERPC] Remove arch/powerpc's dependence on asm-ppc/pg{alloc,table}.hDavid Gibson2007-05-021-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, all 32-bit powerpc platforms use asm-ppc/pgtable.h and asm-ppc/pgalloc.h, even when otherwise compiled with ARCH=powerpc. Those asm-ppc files are a fairly nasty tangle of #ifdefs including a bunch of things which shouldn't be necessary any more in arch/powerpc. Cleaning up that mess is going to take a while, but this patch is a first step. It separates the asm-powerpc/pg{alloc,table}.h into 64 bit and 32 bit versions in asm-powerpc, which the basic .h files in asm-powerpc select based on config. We make a few tiny tweaks to the innards of the files along the way, making the outermost ifdefs (double-inclusion protection and __KERNEL__) a little cleaner, and #including asm-generic/pgtable.h from the top-level asm-powerpc/pgtable.h (since both the old 32-bit and 64-bit versions ended with such an #include).

* [POWERPC] Allow drivers to map individual 4k pages to userspacePaul Mackerras2007-04-121-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some drivers have resources that they want to be able to map into userspace that are 4k in size. On a kernel configured with 64k pages we currently end up mapping the 4k we want plus another 60k of physical address space, which could contain anything. This can introduce security problems, for example in the case of an infiniband adaptor where the other 60k could contain registers that some other program is using for its communications. This patch adds a new function, remap_4k_pfn, which drivers can use to map a single 4k page to userspace regardless of whether the kernel is using a 4k or a 64k page size. Like remap_pfn_range, it would typically be called in a driver's mmap function. It only maps a single 4k page, which on a 64k page kernel appears replicated 16 times throughout a 64k page. On a 4k page kernel it reduces to a call to remap_pfn_range. The way this works on a 64k kernel is that a new bit, _PAGE_4K_PFN, gets set on the linux PTE. This alters the way that __hash_page_4K computes the real address to put in the HPTE. The RPN field of the linux PTE becomes the 4k RPN directly rather than being interpreted as a 64k RPN. Since the RPN field is 32 bits, this means that physical addresses being mapped with remap_4k_pfn have to be below 2^44, i.e. 0x100000000000. The patch also factors out the code in arch/powerpc/mm/hash_utils_64.c that deals with demoting a process to use 4k pages into one function that gets called in the various different places where we need to do that. There were some discrepancies between exactly what was done in the various places, such as a call to spu_flush_all_slbs in one case but not in others. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Use 64k pages without needing cache-inhibited large pagesPaul Mackerras2006-06-151-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but not for cache-inhibited pages. This patch lets us use 64k hardware pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y). User processes start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any non-cacheable mappings. With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for the imalloc region. If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages. I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this, though, and these machines don't have AGP. When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately. We use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages. If hash_page is trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE before inserting the 4k HPTE. The hash invalidation routines also use the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a set of 4k HPTEs to remove. With those two changes, we can tolerate a mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get removed when the address space is torn down.

* [PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includesArnd Bergmann2006-01-091-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does not have this yet. This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__ any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when including any of the headers in user space libraries.

* powerpc: Trivially merge several headers from asm-ppc64 to asm-powerpcPaul Mackerras2005-11-191-0/+90
For these, I have just done the lame-o merge where the file ends up looking like: #ifndef CONFIG_PPC64 #include <asm-ppc/foo.h> #else ... contents from asm-ppc64/foo.h #endif so nothing has changed, really, except that we reduce include/asm-ppc64 a bit more.
