arm64: mm: Add double logical invert to pte accessors

2014-03-24T04:44:20Z

commit 84fe6826c28f69d8708bd575faed7f75e6b6f57f upstream. Page table entries on ARM64 are 64 bits, and some pte functions such as pte_dirty return a bitwise-and of a flag with the pte value. If the flag to be tested resides in the upper 32 bits of the pte, then we run into the danger of the result being dropped if downcast. For example: gather_stats(page, md, pte_dirty(*pte), 1); where pte_dirty(*pte) is downcast to an int. This patch adds a double logical invert to all the pte_ accessors to ensure predictable downcasting.

arm64: Move PTE_PROT_NONE higher up

2013-11-29T15:22:59Z

PTE_PROT_NONE means that a pte is present but does not have any read/write attributes. However, setting the memory type like pgprot_writecombine() is allowed and such bits overlap with PTE_PROT_NONE. This causes mmap/munmap issues in drivers that change the vma->vm_pg_prot on PROT_NONE mappings. This patch reverts the PTE_FILE/PTE_PROT_NONE shift in commit 59911ca4325d (ARM64: mm: Move PTE_PROT_NONE bit) and moves PTE_PROT_NONE together with the other software bits.

arm64: Use Normal NonCacheable memory for writecombine

2013-11-29T15:05:07Z

This provides better performance compared to Device GRE and also allows unaligned accesses. Such memory is intended to be used with standard RAM (e.g. framebuffers) and not I/O. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

arm64: Use 42-bit address space with 64K pages

2013-11-05T17:23:52Z

This patch expands the VA_BITS to 42 when the 64K page configuration is enabled allowing 2TB kernel linear mapping. Linux still uses 2 levels of page tables in this configuration with pgd now being a full page. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas Acked-by: Will Deacon Acked-by: Marc Zyngier

ARM64: mm: THP support.

2013-06-14T08:52:41Z

Bring Transparent HugePage support to ARM. The size of a transparent huge page depends on the normal page size. A transparent huge page is always represented as a pmd. If PAGE_SIZE is 4KB, THPs are 2MB. If PAGE_SIZE is 64KB, THPs are 512MB. Signed-off-by: Steve Capper Acked-by: Catalin Marinas

Add huge page support to ARM64, different huge page sizes are supported depending on the size of normal pages: PAGE_SIZE is 4KB: 2MB - (pmds) these can be allocated at any time. 1024MB - (puds) usually allocated on bootup with the command line with something like: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=6 PAGE_SIZE is 64KB: 512MB - (pmds) usually allocated on bootup via command line.

ARM64: mm: Move PTE_PROT_NONE bit.

2013-06-14T08:52:19Z

Under ARM64, PTEs can be broadly categorised as follows: - Present and valid: Bit #0 is set. The PTE is valid and memory access to the region may fault. - Present and invalid: Bit #0 is clear and bit #1 is set. Represents present memory with PROT_NONE protection. The PTE is an invalid entry, and the user fault handler will raise a SIGSEGV. - Not present (file or swap): Bits #0 and #1 are clear. Memory represented has been paged out. The PTE is an invalid entry, and the fault handler will try and re-populate the memory where necessary. Huge PTEs are block descriptors that have bit #1 clear. If we wish to represent PROT_NONE huge PTEs we then run into a problem as there is no way to distinguish between regular and huge PTEs if we set bit #1. To resolve this ambiguity this patch moves PTE_PROT_NONE from bit #1 to bit #2 and moves PTE_FILE from bit #2 to bit #3. The number of swap/file bits is reduced by 1 as a consequence, leaving 60 bits for file and swap entries. Signed-off-by: Steve Capper Acked-by: Catalin Marinas
