powerpc/mm: Increase the slice range to 64TB

2012-09-17T06:31:50Z

This patch makes the high psizes mask as an unsigned char array so that we can have more than 16TB. Currently we support upto 64TB Reviewed-by: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: various straight conversions from module.h --> export.h

2011-10-31T23:30:44Z

All these files were including module.h just for the basic EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure. We can shift them off to the export.h header which is a way smaller footprint and thus realize some compile time gains. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

powerpc: is_hugepage_only_range() must account for both 4kB and 64kB slices

2009-01-16T05:15:16Z

powerpc: is_hugepage_only_range() must account for both 4kB and 64kB slices The subpage_prot syscall fails on second and subsequent calls for a given region, because is_hugepage_only_range() is mis-identifying the 4 kB slices when the process has a 64 kB page size.

powerpc: Only demote individual slices rather than whole process

2008-07-01T01:27:57Z

At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere. This hurts the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace. With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices able to use 64kB hardware pages. This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified MAP_FIXED or if there is not sufficient space available in slices that are either empty or already have 64k-page mappings in them.
