<title>powerpc: Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in non-uapi headers</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=74db6cc331b0da5c48c62b7af68d747ec9af1984'/>
<id>urn:sha1:74db6cc331b0da5c48c62b7af68d747ec9af1984</id>
<content type='text'>
While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names
that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing
for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace
coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use
__ASSEMBLER__  instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__
macro that is provided by the compilers.

This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple
"sed -i" statement), apart from tweaking two comments manually in
arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h and arch/powerpc/include/asm/kasan.h
(which did not have proper underscores at the end) and fixing a
checkpatch error about spaces in arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu_csa.h.

The VDSO implementation includes headers from outside of the
vdso/ namespace.

Introduce vdso/page.h to make sure that the generic library
uses only the allowed namespace.

<title>powerpc/64s: use contiguous PMD/PUD instead of HUGEPD</title>

<content type='text'>
On book3s/64, the only user of hugepd is hash in 4k mode.

All other setups (hash-64, radix-4, radix-64) use leaf PMD/PUD.

Rework hash-4k to use contiguous PMD and PUD instead.

In that setup there are only two huge page sizes: 16M and 16G.

16M sits at PMD level and 16G at PUD level.

pte_update doesn't know page size, lets use the same trick as
hpte_need_flush() to get page size from segment properties.  That's not
the most efficient way but let's do that until callers of pte_update()
provide page size instead of just a huge flag.

<id>urn:sha1:7c44202e36097e23240025298ccd1fe4eacfd94e</id>

e500 supports many page sizes among which the following size are
implemented in the kernel at the time being: 4M, 16M, 64M, 256M, 1G.

On e500, TLB miss for hugepages is exclusively handled by SW even on e6500
which has HW assistance for 4k pages, so there are no constraints like on
the 8xx.

On e500/32, all are at PGD/PMD level and can be handled as cont-PMD.

On e500/64, smaller ones are on PMD while bigger ones are on PUD.  Again,
they can easily be handled as cont-PMD and cont-PUD instead of hugepd.

On e500/32, use the pagesize bits in PTE to know if it is a PMD or a leaf
entry.  This works because the pagesize bits are in the last 12 bits and
page tables are 4k aligned.

On e500/64, use highest bit which is always 1 on PxD (Because PxD contains
virtual address of a kernel memory) and always 0 on PTEs because not all
bits of RPN are used/possible.

<title>powerpc/8xx: rework support for 8M pages using contiguous PTE entries</title>

<content type='text'>
In order to fit better with standard Linux page tables layout, add support
for 8M pages using contiguous PTE entries in a standard page table.  Page
tables will then be populated with 1024 similar entries and two PMD
entries will point to that page table.

The PMD entries also get a flag to tell it is addressing an 8M page, this
is required for the HW tablewalk assistance.

arc, arm64, parisc and powerpc all have their own Kconfig symbols
in place of the common CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_4KB symbols. Change these
so the common symbols are the ones that are actually used, while
leaving the arhcitecture specific ones as the user visible
place for configuring it, to avoid breaking user configs.

<title>powerpc: Make virt_to_pfn() a static inline</title>
<updated>2023-08-16T13:54:49Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:58b6fed89ab0f602de0d143c617c29c3d4c67429</id>
<content type='text'>
Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.

Move the virt_to_pfn() and related functions below the
declaration of __pa() so it compiles.

For symmetry do the same with pfn_to_kaddr().

As the file is included right into the linker file, we need
to surround the functions with ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ so we
don't cause compilation errors.

The conversion moreover exposes the fact that pmd_page_vaddr()
was returning an unsigned long rather than a const void * as
could be expected, so all the sites defining pmd_page_vaddr()
had to be augmented as well.

Finally the KVM code in book3s_64_mmu_hv.c was passing an
unsigned int to virt_to_phys() so fix that up with a cast so the
result compiles.

Every architecture that supports FLATMEM memory model defines its own
version of pfn_valid() that essentially compares a pfn to max_mapnr.

Use mips/powerpc version implemented as static inline as a generic
implementation of pfn_valid() and drop its per-architecture definitions.
