[PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisation

2006-10-11T18:14:14Z

Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns). The unintended impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. As a result, the the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off. The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using arch-independent zone-sizing. Two users have successfully booted their powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4). It has also been boot tested on x86, x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2. Credit to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for identifying the bug and rolling the first fix. Additional credit to Johannes Berg and Andreas Schwab for reporting the problem and testing on powerpc.

ppc: Remove CHRP, POWER3 and POWER4 support from arch/ppc

2006-03-27T23:22:10Z

32-bit CHRP machines are now supported only in arch/powerpc, as are all 64-bit PowerPC processors. This means that we don't use Open Firmware on any platform in arch/ppc any more. This makes PReP support a single-platform option like every other platform support option in arch/ppc now, thus CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM is gone from arch/ppc. CONFIG_PPC_PREP is the option that selects PReP support and is generally what has replaced CONFIG_PPC_MULTIPLATFORM within arch/ppc. _machine is all but dead now, being #defined to 0. Updated Makefiles, comments and Kconfig options generally to reflect these changes. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] remove set_page_count() outside mm/

2006-03-22T15:54:02Z

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1. Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted(). This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed to play around with page->_count. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] ppc: Remove powermac support from ARCH=ppc

2006-01-15T06:30:44Z

This makes it possible to build kernels for PReP and/or CHRP with ARCH=ppc by removing the (non-building) powermac support. It's now also possible to select PReP and CHRP independently. Powermac users should now build with ARCH=powerpc instead of ARCH=ppc. (This does mean that it is no longer possible to build a 32-bit kernel for a G5.) Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] ppc32 8xx: update_mmu_cache() needs unconditional tlbie

2005-11-16T02:28:22Z

Currently 8xx fails to boot due to endless pagefaults. Seems the bug is exposed by the change which avoids flushing the TLB when not necessary (in case the pte has not changed), introduced recently: __handle_mm_fault(): entry = pte_mkyoung(entry); if (!pte_same(old_entry, entry)) { ptep_set_access_flags(vma, address, pte, entry, write_access); update_mmu_cache(vma, address, entry); lazy_mmu_prot_update(entry); } else { /* * This is needed only for protection faults but the arch code * is not yet telling us if this is a protection fault or not. * This still avoids useless tlb flushes for .text page faults * with threads. */ if (write_access) flush_tlb_page(vma, address); } The "update_mmu_cache()" call was unconditional before, which caused the TLB to be flushed by: if (pfn_valid(pfn)) { struct page *page = pfn_to_page(pfn); if (!PageReserved(page) && !test_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags)) { if (vma->vm_mm == current->active_mm) { #ifdef CONFIG_8xx /* On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly * "dcbst" from flush_dcache_icache) fault as write * operation if there is an unpopulated TLB entry * for the address in question. To workaround that, * we invalidate the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst * misbehaviour. */ _tlbie(address); #endif __flush_dcache_icache((void *) address); } else flush_dcache_icache_page(page); set_bit(PG_arch_1, &page->flags); } Which worked to due to pure luck: PG_arch_1 was always unset before, but now it isnt. The root of the problem are the changes against the 8xx TLB handlers introduced during v2.6. What happens is the TLBMiss handlers load the zeroed pte into the TLB, causing the TLBError handler to be invoked (thats two TLB faults per pagefault), which then jumps to the generic MM code to setup the pte. The bug is that the zeroed TLB is not invalidated (the same reason for the "dcbst" misbehaviour), resulting in infinite TLBError faults. The "two exception" approach requires a TLB flush (to nuke the zeroed TLB) at each PTE update for correct behaviour: Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addresses

2005-10-29T04:25:49Z

Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an address. This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G on 32-bit architectures. We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G. Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an address by directly comparing to max_pfn. Working with max_pfn instead of high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.
