sparc64: Fix get_user_pages_fast() wrt. THP.

2013-02-27T17:21:12Z

[ Upstream commit 89a77915e0f56dc7b9f9082ba787895b6a83f809 ] Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the SetPageReferenced() bits. On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs. In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header file adjustments were necessary. Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. Reported-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V Signed-off-by: David S.

sparc64: Support transparent huge pages.

2012-10-09T07:23:06Z

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory. Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss assembler page table walkers aware of the layout. set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping. We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added in the future. With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

sparc64: Document PGD and PMD layout.

2012-10-09T07:23:05Z

We're going to be messing around with the PMD interpretation and layout for the sake of transparent huge pages, so we better clearly document what we're starting with. Signed-off-by: David S.

sparc64: Halve the size of PTE tables

2012-10-09T07:23:04Z

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page support. Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB. The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page. We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures that this requirement is always met. There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

sparc64: Only support 4MB huge pages and 8KB base pages.

2012-10-09T07:23:04Z

Narrowing the scope of the page size configurations will make the transparent hugepage changes much simpler. In the end what we really want to do is have the kernel support multiple huge page sizes and use whatever is appropriate as the context dictactes. Signed-off-by: David S.

sparc: Kill mmu_{un,}lockarea().

2012-05-13T20:23:16Z

These were used on sun4c during floppy data transfers since on that chip we had to lock the cpu mappings into the TLB because we cannot take a TLB miss during the assembler floppy interrupt handler that does the data transfer. That is no longer necessary since we've removed sun4c support, thus this stuff can disappear completely. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
