They don't need to track 4k subpage slot details and hence don't need second half of pgtable_t. Signed-off-by:

pte and pmd table size are dependent on config items. Don't hard code the same. This make sure we use the right value when masking pmd entries and also while checking pmd_bad Signed-off-by:

For a pte entry we will have _PAGE_PTE set. Our pte page address have a minimum alignment requirement of HUGEPD_SHIFT_MASK + 1. We use the lower 7 bits to indicate hugepd. ie. For pmd and pgd we can find: 1) _PAGE_PTE set pte -> indicate PTE 2) bits [2..6] non zero -> indicate hugepd. They also encode the size. We skip bit 1 (_PAGE_PRESENT). 3) othewise pointer to next table. Acked-by:

We support THP only with book3s_64 and 64K page size. Move THP details to hash64-64k.h to clarify the same. Acked-by:

W.r.t hugetlb, we support two format for pmd. With book3s_64 and 64K linux page size, we can have pte at the pmd level. Hence we don't need to support hugepd there. For everything else hugepd is supported and pmd_huge is (0). Acked-by:

Only difference here is, we apply the WIMG mapping early, so rflags passed to updatepp will also be changed. Acked-by:

Instead of open coding it in multiple code paths, export the helper and add more documentation. Also make sure we don't make assumption regarding pte bit position Acked-by:

This is similar to 64K insert. May be we want to consolidate Acked-by:

This free up 11 bits in pte_t. In the later patch we also change the pte_t format so that we can start supporting migration pte at pmd level. We now track 4k subpage valid bit as below If we have _PAGE_COMBO set, we override the _PAGE_F_GIX_SHIFT and _PAGE_F_SECOND. Together we have 4 bits, each of them used to indicate whether any of the 4 4k subpage in that group is valid. ie, [ group 1 bit ] [ group 2 bit ] ..... [ group 4 ] [ subpage 1 - 4] [ subpage 5- 8] ..... [ subpage 13 - 16] We still track each 4k subpage slot number and secondary hash information in the second half of pgtable_t. Removing the subpage tracking have some significant overhead on aim9 and ebizzy benchmark and to support THP with 4K subpage, we do need a pgtable_t of 4096 bytes. Signed-off-by:

We copy only needed PTE bits define from pte-common.h to respective hash related header. This should greatly simply later patches in which we are going to change the pte format for hash config Acked-by:
-
Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
We are going to drop pte_common.h in the later patch. The idea is to enable hash code not require to define all PTE bits. Having PTE bits defined in pte_common.h made the code unnecessarily complex. Acked-by:

We also move __ASSEMBLY__ towards the end of header. This avoid having #ifndef __ASSEMBLY___ all over the header Acked-by:

This further make a copy of pte defines to book3s/64/hash*.h. This remove the dependency on pgtable-ppc64-4k.h and pgtable-ppc64-64k.h Acked-by:

Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
In this patch we do: cp pgtable-ppc32.h book3s/32/pgtable.h cp pgtable-ppc64.h book3s/64/pgtable.h This enable us to do further changes to hash specific config. We will change the page table format for 64bit hash in later patches. Acked-by:

This is the same bug we fixed as part of 09567e7f ("powerpc/mm: Check paca psize is up to date for huge mappings"). Please check that for details. The difference here is that faults were happening on a 4K page at an address previously mapped by hugetlb. Signed-off-by:

Two DSCR tests have a hack in them: /* * XXX: Force a context switch out so that DSCR * current value is copied into the thread struct * which is required for the child to inherit the * changed value. */ sleep(1); We should not be working around this in the testcase, it is a kernel bug. Fix it by copying the current DSCR to the child, instead of what we had in the thread struct at last context switch. Signed-off-by:

commit 152d523e ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") moved the restore of SPRs after the call to _switch(). There is an issue with this approach - new tasks do not return through _switch(), they are set up by copy_thread() to directly return through ret_from_fork() or ret_from_kernel_thread(). This means restore_sprs() is not getting called for new tasks. Fix this by moving restore_sprs() before _switch().

Create a single function that gives everything up (FP, VMX, VSX, SPE). Doing this all at once means we only do one MSR write. A context switch microbenchmark using yield(): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch2.c ./context_switch2 --test=yield --fp --altivec --vector 0 0 shows an improvement of 3% on POWER8.

Add a boot option that strictly manages the MSR unavailable bits. This catches kernel uses of FP/Altivec/SPE that would otherwise corrupt user state. Signed-off-by:

Anton Blanchard authored
The enable_kernel_*() functions leave the relevant MSR bits enabled until we exit the kernel sometime later. Create disable versions that wrap the kernel use of FP, Altivec VSX or SPE. While we don't want to disable it normally for performance reasons (MSR writes are slow), it will be used for a debug boot option that does this and catches bad uses in other areas of the kernel.

Create helper functions to set and clear MSR bits after first checking if they are already set. Grouping them will make it easy to avoid the MSR writes in a subsequent optimisation. Signed-off-by:
