[PATCH] ppc64: override command line AS/LD/CC variables when adding -m64 and co for biarch compilers The following kind of calls currently fails : make ARCH=ppc64 CC="gcc-3.4" Since the code for detecting a biarch compiler and adding the needed 64bit magic argument fails if the AS/LD/CC commands are overriden in the command line. The attached patch fixes this by using the make override and += directive, but i am not 100% sure this will work without gmake, as i am no Makefile expert.

Currently ppc64 has two mm_structs for the kernel, init_mm and also ioremap_mm. The latter really isn't necessary: this patch abolishes it, instead restricting vmallocs to the lower 1TB of the init_mm's range and placing io mappings in the upper 1TB. This simplifies the code in a number of places and eliminates an unecessary set of pagetables. It also tweaks the unmap/free path a little, allowing us to remove the unmap_im_area() set of page table walkers, replacing them with unmap_vm_area(). Signed-off-by:

This patch kills the whole embedded System.map mecanism and the bootloader-passed System.map that was used to provide symbol resolution in xmon. Instead, xmon now uses kallsyms like ppc64 does. No hurry getting that in Linus tree, let it be tested in -mm for a while first and make sure it doesn't break various embedded configs. Signed-off-by:

Made the number of TLB CAM entries private and converted the board consumers to use num_tlbcam_entries which is setup at boot time from configuration registers. This way the only consumers of the #define NUM_TLBCAMS are the arrays used to manage the TLB. Signed-off-by:

The MPC8548 has 48 internal interrupts and 12 external interrupts. The previous generation PowerQUICC III devices only had 32 internal and 12 external interrupts on the primary interrupt controller. Expanded the number of internal interrupts to 48 for all PowerQUICC III processors and moved the interrupt numbers for the external after the 48 internal interrupt lines, rather than putting the 12 new internal interrupts at the end and ifdef'ng the whole mess. As parted of this created a macro which represents the internal interrupt senses since they are the same on all PQ3 processors. Signed-off-by:

I am always trying to make sure I've booted the right kernel after a new install. Too paranoid maybe. But I guess there're other people like me. So let's make kbuild display the compile version number at the end to give us a hint. I know we may be booting vmlinux someday, but don't care about it for now. Signed-off-by:

It's common practice to msync a large address range regularly, in which often only a few ptes have actually been dirtied since the previous pass. sync_pte_range then goes much faster if it tests whether pte is dirty before locating and accessing each struct page cacheline; and it is hardly slowed by ptep_clear_flush_dirty repeating that test in the opposite case, when every pte actually is dirty. But beware, s390's pte_dirty always says false, since its dirty bit is kept in the storage key, located via the struct page address. So skip this optimization in its case: use a pte_maybe_dirty macro which just says true if page_test_and_clear_dirty is implemented. Signed-off-by:

Remember that ironic get_user_pages race? when the raised page_count on a page swapped out led do_wp_page to decide that it had to copy on write, so substituted a different page into userspace. 2.6.7 onwards have Andrea's solution, where try_to_unmap_one backs out if it finds page_count raised. Which works, but is unsatisfying (rmap.c has no other page_count heuristics), and was found a few months ago to hang an intensive page migration test. A year ago I was hesitant to engage page_mapcount, now it seems the right fix. So remove the page_count hack from try_to_unmap_one; and use activate_page in unuse_mm when dropping lock, to replace its secondary effect of helping swapoff to make progress in that case. Simplify can_share_swap_page (now called only on anonymous pages) to check page_mapcount + page_swapcount == 1: still needs the page lock to stabilize their (pessimistic) sum, but does not need swapper_space.tree_lock for that. In do_swap_page, move swap_free and unlock_page below page_add_anon_rmap, to keep sum on the high side, and correct when can_share_swap_page called. Signed-off-by:

A small optimization to do_wp_page's check for whether to avoid copy by reusing the page already mapped. It can never share a cached file page, nor can it share a reserved page (often the empty zero page), so it's a waste of time to lock and unlock in those cases. Which nowadays can both be neatly excluded by a preliminary PageAnon test. Christoph has reported that a preliminary page_count test proved valuable for scalability here, but PageAnon covers more common cases all at once. Signed-off-by:

Since its birth, get_user_pages has been calling a misguided get_page_map function. follow_page has already returned NULL if the pfn is invalid, we cannot reach an invalid pfn from a validated struct page. Remove get_page_map, and the messy rewind in get_user_pages to cope with its failure. Oh, and could we please call that "struct page *page" like everywhere else, instead of "struct page *map"?

Strict mbind's check for currently mapped pages being on node has been using a slow loop which re-evaluates pgd, pud, pmd, pte for each entry: replace that by a standard four-level page table walk like others in mm. Since mmap_sem is held for writing, page_table_lock can be taken at the inner level to limit latency. Signed-off-by:

Strict mbind's check that pages already mapped are on right node has been using pte_page without checking if pfn_valid, and without page_table_lock to prevent spurious failures when try_to_unmap_one intervenes between the pte_present and the pte_page. Signed-off-by:

To improve shmem scalability, we allowed tmpfs instances which don't need their blocks or inodes limited not to count them, and not to allocate any sbinfo. Which was okay when the only use for the sbinfo was accounting blocks and inodes; but since then a couple of unrelated projects extending tmpfs want to store other data in the sbinfo. Whether either extension reaches mainline is beside the point: I'm guilty of a bad design decision, and should restore sbinfo to make any such future extensions easier. So, once again allocate a shmem_sb_info for every shmem/tmpfs instance, and now let max_blocks 0 indicate unlimited blocks, and max_inodes 0 unlimited inodes. Brent Casavant verified (many months ago) that this does not perceptibly impact the scalability (since the unlimited sbinfo cacheline is repeatedly accessed but only once dirtied). And merge shmem_set_size into its sole caller shmem_remount_fs. Signed-off-by:

This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic allocator (genalloc). The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2 mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split off from the driver. The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory etc. The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2 driver. Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory. The SGI SN architecture requires it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA cluster. The specific user for this is the XPC code. Another application is large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose. Performance of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial. This is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch. Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device drivers and other subsystems as they please. For instance to handle onboard device memory. It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2 right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently). On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie. it isn't safe to access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory accessed in cached mode. The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc. The uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages and sticks them into the uncached pool. Only after these chunks have been utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory. Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions. Signed-off-by:

Reduce size of the huge per_cpu_pageset structure in __initdata introduced into mm1 with the pageset localization patchset. Use one specially configured pageset per cpu for all zones and nodes during bootup. - Avoid duplication of pageset initialization code. - do the adding to the pageset list before potential free_pages_bulk in free_hot_cold_page (otherwise we would have to hold a page in a pageset during the period that the boot pagesets are in use). - remove mistaken __cpuinitdata attribute and revert back to __initdata for the boot pageset. A boot pageset is not necessary for cpu hotplug.

The pageset array can potentially acquire a huge amount of memory on large NUMA systems. F.e. on a system with 512 processors and 256 nodes there will be 256*512 pagesets. If each pageset only holds 5 pages then we are talking about 655360 pages.With a 16K page size on IA64 this results in potentially 10 Gigabytes of memory being trapped in pagesets. The typical cases are much less for smaller systems but there is still the potential of memory being trapped in off node pagesets. Off node memory may be rarely used if local memory is available and so we may potentially have memory in seldom used pagesets without this patch. The slab allocator flushes its per cpu caches every 2 seconds. The following patch flushes the off node pageset caches in the same way by tying into the slab flush. The patch also changes /proc/zoneinfo to include the number of pages currently in each pageset. Signed-off-by:
