mm: remove pte_*map_nested()

2010-10-26T23:52:08Z

Since we no longer need to provide KM_type, the whole pte_*map_nested() API is now redundant, remove it.

[S390] pgtable: move pte_mkhuge() from hugetlb.h to pgtable.h

2010-10-25T14:10:19Z

All architectures besides s390 have pte_mkhuge() defined in pgtable.h. So move the function to pgtable.h on s390 as well. Fixes a compile error introduced with "hugetlb: hugepage migration core" in linux-next which only happens on s390. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] add support for nonquiescing sske

2010-10-25T14:10:15Z

Improve performance of the sske operation by using the nonquiescing variant if the affected page has no mappings established. On machines with no support for the new sske variant the mask bit will be ignored. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] store indication fault optimization

2010-10-25T14:10:15Z

Use the store indication bit in the translation exception code on page faults to avoid the protection faults that immediatly follow the page fault if the access has been a write. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] lockless get_user_pages_fast()

2010-10-25T14:10:15Z

Implement get_user_pages_fast without locking in the fastpath on s390. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] zero page cache synonyms

2010-10-25T14:10:14Z

If the zero page is mapped to virtual user space addresses that differ only in bit 2^12 or 2^13 we get L1 cache synonyms which can affect performance. Follow the mips model and use multiple zero pages to avoid the synonyms. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] fix tlb flushing vs. concurrent /proc accesses

2010-08-24T07:26:34Z

The tlb flushing code uses the mm_users field of the mm_struct to decide if each page table entry needs to be flushed individually with IPTE or if a global flush for the mm_struct is sufficient after all page table updates have been done. The comment for mm_users says "How many users with user space?" but the /proc code increases mm_users after it found the process structure by pid without creating a new user process. Which makes mm_users useless for the decision between the two tlb flusing methods. The current code can be confused to not flush tlb entries by a concurrent access to /proc files if e.g. a fork is in progres. The solution for this problem is to make the tlb flushing logic independent from the mm_users field. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] increase default size of vmalloc area

2010-04-09T11:43:02Z

The default size of the vmalloc area is currently 1 GB. The memory resource controller uses about 10 MB of vmalloc space per gigabyte of memory. That turns a system with more than ~100 GB memory unbootable with the default vmalloc size. It costs us nothing to increase the default size to some more adequate value, e.g. 128 GB.

MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself

2010-02-20T16:41:46Z

On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages uncacheable. This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available for modification via update_mmu_cache(). Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to update_mmu_cache(): On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the pte_t? Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC: Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases, for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the _PAGE_EXEC. So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to suit.

[S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping

2009-12-07T11:51:37Z

We dont need the dirty bit if a write access is done via the kernel mapping. In that case SetPageDirty and friends are used anyway, no need to do that a second time. We can use the change-recording overide function for the kernel mapping, if available. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
