The AMR update is made conditional on AMR actually changing, which should be the less common case on most workloads (though kernel page faults on uaccess could be frequent, this doesn't significantly slow down that case).

Writing the AMR register is documented to require context synchronizing operations before and after, for it to take effect as expected. The KUAP restore at interrupt exit time deliberately avoids the isync after the AMR update because it only needs to take effect after the context synchronizing RFID that soon follows. Add a comment for this. The missing isync before the update doesn't have an obvious justification, and seems it could theoretically allow a rogue user access to leak past the AMR update. Add isyncs for these.

Commit 6cfd8990 ("powerpc: rework FSL Book-E PTE access and TLB miss") removed atomic pte updates on fsl booke.

The idea behind this prefetch was to kick off a page table walk before returning from the fault, getting some pipelining advantage. But this never showed up any noticable performance advantage, and in fact with KUAP the prefetches are actually blocked and cause some kind of micro-architectural fault. Removing this improves page fault microbenchmark performance by about 9%.

Commit 1ca3dec2 ("powerpc/xive: Prevent page fault issues in the machine crash handler") fixed an issue in the FW assisted dump of machines using hash MMU and the XIVE interrupt mode under the POWER hypervisor. It forced the mapping of the ESB page of interrupts being mapped in the Linux IRQ number space to make sure the 'crash kexec' sequence worked during such an event. But it didn't handle the un-mapping. This mapping is now blocking the removal of a passthrough IO adapter under the POWER hypervisor because it expects the guest OS to have cleared all page table entries related to the adapter. If some are still present, the RTAS call which isolates the PCI slot returns error 9001 "valid outstanding translations". Remove these mapping in the IRQ data cleanup routine. Under KVM, this cleanup is not required because the ESB pages for the adapter interrupts are un-mapped from the guest by the hypervisor in the KVM XIVE native device. This is now redundant but it's harmless.

The code patching code wants to get the value of a struct ppc_inst as a u64 when the instruction is prefixed, so we can pass the u64 down to __put_user_asm() and write it with a single store. The optprobes code wants to load a struct ppc_inst as an immediate into a register so it is useful to have it as a u64 to use the existing helper function. Currently this is a bit awkward because the value differs based on the CPU endianness, so add a helper to do the conversion. This fixes the usage in arch_prepare_optimized_kprobe() which was previously incorrect on big endian.

In a few places we want to calculate the address of the next instruction. Previously that was simple, we just added 4 bytes, or if using a u32 * we incremented that pointer by 1. But prefixed instructions make it more complicated, we need to advance by either 4 or 8 bytes depending on the actual instruction. We also can't do pointer arithmetic using struct ppc_inst, because it is always 8 bytes in size on 64-bit, even though we might only need to advance by 4 bytes. So add a ppc_inst_next() helper which calculates the location of the next instruction, if the given instruction was located at the given address. Note the instruction doesn't need to actually be at the address in memory. Although it would seem natural for the value to be passed by value, that makes it too easy to write a loop that will read off the end of a page, eg: for (; src < end; src = ppc_inst_next(src, *src), dest = ppc_inst_next(dest, *dest)) As noticed by Christophe and Jordan, if end is the exact end of a page, and the next page is not mapped, this will fault, because *dest will read 8 bytes, 4 bytes into the next page. So value is passed by reference, so the helper can be careful to use ppc_inst_read() on it.

Merge Christophe's large series to use huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx. From his cover letter: The main purpose of this big series is to: - reorganise huge page handling to avoid using mm_slices. - use huge pages to map kernel memory on the 8xx. The 8xx supports 4 page sizes: 4k, 16k, 512k and 8M. It uses 2 Level page tables, PGD having 1024 entries, each entry covering 4M address space. Then each page table has 1024 entries. At the time being, page sizes are managed in PGD entries, implying the use of mm_slices as it can't mix several pages of the same size in one page table. The first purpose of this series is to reorganise things so that standard page tables can also handle 512k pages. This is done by adding a new _PAGE_HUGE flag which will be copied into the Level 1 entry in the TLB miss handler. That done, we have 2 types of pages: - PGD entries to regular page tables handling 4k/16k and 512k pages - PGD entries to hugepd tables handling 8M pages. There is no need to mix 8M pages with other sizes, because a 8M page will use more than what a single PGD covers. Then comes the second purpose of this series. At the time being, the 8xx has implemented special handling in the TLB miss handlers in order to transparently map kernel linear address space and the IMMR using huge pages by building the TLB entries in assembly at the time of the exception. As mm_slices is only for user space pages, and also because it would anyway not be convenient to slice kernel address space, it was not possible to use huge pages for kernel address space. But after step one of the series, it is now more flexible to use huge pages. This series drop all assembly 'just in time' handling of huge pages and use huge pages in page tables instead. Once the above is done, then comes icing on the cake: - Use huge pages for KASAN shadow mapping - Allow pinned TLBs with strict kernel rwx - Allow pinned TLBs with debug pagealloc Then, last but not least, those modifications for the 8xx allows the following improvement on book3s/32: - Mapping KASAN shadow with BATs - Allowing BATs with debug pagealloc All this allows to considerably simplify TLB miss handlers and associated initialisation. The overhead of reading page tables is negligible compared to the reduction of the miss handlers. While we were at touching pte_update(), some cleanup was done there too. Tested widely on 8xx and 832x. Boot tested on QEMU MAC99.

DEBUG_PAGEALLOC only manages RW data. Text and RO data can still be mapped with hugepages and pinned TLB. In order to map with hugepages, also enforce a 512kB data alignment minimum. That's a trade-off between size of speed, taking into account that DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is a debug option. Anyway the alignment is still tunable. We also allow tuning of alignment for book3s to limit the complexity of the test in Kconfig that will anyway disappear in the following patches once DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is handled together with BATs.

Add a function to early map kernel memory using huge pages. For 512k pages, just use standard page table and map in using 512k pages. For 8M pages, create a hugepd table and populate the two PGD entries with it. This function can only be used to create page tables at startup. Once the regular SLAB allocation functions replace memblock functions, this function cannot allocate new pages anymore. However it can still update existing mappings with new protections. hugepd_none() macro is moved into asm/hugetlb.h to be usable outside of mm/hugetlbpage.c early_pte_alloc_kernel() is made visible. _PAGE_HUGE flag is now displayed by ptdump.

Now that linear and IMMR dedicated TLB handling is gone, kernel boundary address comparison is similar in ITLB miss handler and in DTLB miss handler. Create a macro named compare_to_kernel_boundary. When TASK_SIZE is strictly below 0x80000000 and PAGE_OFFSET is above 0x80000000, it is enough to compare to 0x8000000, and this can be done with a single instruction. Using not. instruction, we get to use 'blt' conditional branch as when doing a regular comparison: 0x00000000 <= addr <= 0x7fffffff ==> 0xffffffff >= NOT(addr) >= 0x80000000 The above test corresponds to a 'blt' Otherwise, do a regular comparison using two instructions.

Now that space have been freed next to the DTLB miss handler, it's associated DTLB perf handling can be brought back in the same place.

The code to setup linear and IMMR mapping via huge TLB entries is not called anymore. Remove it. Also remove the handling of removed code exits in the perf driver.

Up to now, linear and IMMR mappings are managed via huge TLB entries through specific code directly in TLB miss handlers. This implies some patching of the TLB miss handlers at startup, and a lot of dedicated code. Remove all this specific dedicated code. For now we are back to normal handling via standard 4k pages. In the next patches, linear memory mapping and IMMR mapping will be managed through huge pages.
