LEVEL is a very common word, and now after many years it suddenly clashed with another LEVEL define in the DRBD code. Rename it to PA_ASM_LEVEL instead. Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>

This patch updates the parisc huge TLB page support to use per-pagetable spinlocks. This patch requires Mikulas' per-pagetable spinlock patch and the revised TLB serialization patch from Helge and myself. With Mikulas' patch, we need to use the per-pagetable spinlock for page table updates. The TLB lock is only used to serialize TLB flushes on machines with the Merced bus.

PA-RISC uses a global spinlock to protect pagetable updates in the TLB fault handlers. When multiple cores are taking TLB faults simultaneously, the cache line containing the spinlock becomes a bottleneck. This patch embeds the spinlock in the top level page directory, so that every process has its own lock. It improves performance by 30% when doing parallel compilations. At least on the N class systems, only one PxTLB inter processor broadcast can be active at any one time on the Merced bus. If a Merced bus is found, this patch serializes the TLB flushes with the pa_tlb_flush_lock spinlock. v1: Initial patch by Mikulas v2: Added Merced detection by Helge v3: Revised TLB serialization by Dave & Helge Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

There are only a couple of instructions that can function as a memory barrier on parisc. Currently, we use the sync instruction as a memory barrier when releasing a spinlock. However, the ldcw instruction is a better barrier when we have a handy memory location since it operates in the cache on coherent machines. This patch updates the spinlock release code to use ldcw. I also changed the "stw,ma" instructions to "stw" instructions as it is not an adequate barrier. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

TLB operations only need to be serialized on machines with the Merced (Stretch) bus. The only machines in this category are L and N class, and they require a 64-bit PA 2.0 kernel. On these machines, we use local TLB purges in the tmpalias routines. We don't need to serialize TLB purges on all other machines. Thus, the lock/unlock code can be removed when CONFIG_PA20 is not defined. Further, when CONFIG_PA20 is not defined, alternative patching converts the TLB purges to local purges when PA 2.0 hardware has been detected.

The commit 1c30844d ("mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs") breaks memory management on a parisc c8000 workstation with this memory layout: 0) Start 0x0000000000000000 End 0x000000003fffffff Size 1024 MB 1) Start 0x0000000100000000 End 0x00000001bfdfffff Size 3070 MB 2) Start 0x0000004040000000 End 0x00000040ffffffff Size 3072 MB With the patch 1c30844d, the kernel will incorrectly reclaim the first zone when it fills up, ignoring the fact that there are two completely free zones. Basiscally, it limits cache size to 1GiB. The parisc kernel is currently using the DISCONTIGMEM implementation, but isn't NUMA. Avoid this issue or strange work-arounds by switching to the more commonly used SPARSEMEM implementation.

We use some of the hugetlb inlines (eg. pud_huge()) when operating on the linear mapping and if they're compiled into empty wrappers we can corrupt memory. Then two fixes to our VFIO IOMMU code. The first is not a regression but fixes the locking to avoid a user-triggerable deadlock. The second does fix a regression since rc1, and depends on the first fix. It makes it possible to run guests with large amounts of memory again (~256GB).

This way, slhc_free() accepts what slhc_init() returns, whether that is an error or not. In particular, the pattern in sl_alloc_bufs() is slcomp = slhc_init(16, 16); ... slhc_free(slcomp); for the error handling path, and rather than complicate that code, just make it ok to always free what was returned by the init function. That's what the code used to do before commit 4ab42d78 ("ppp, slip: Validate VJ compression slot parameters completely") when slhc_init() just returned NULL for the error case, with no actual indication of the details of the error.
