2008-10-13x86: add _PAGE_IOMAP pte flag for IO mappingsJeremy Fitzhardinge
Use one of the software-defined PTE bits to indicate that a mapping is intended for an IO address. On native hardware this is irrelevent, since a physical address is a physical address. But in a virtual environment, physical addresses are also virtualized, so there needs to be some way to distinguish between pseudo-physical addresses and actual hardware addresses; _PAGE_IOMAP indicates this intent. By default, __supported_pte_mask masks out _PAGE_IOMAP, so it doesn't even appear in the final pagetable.

remove USER from the PTE/PDE attributes for the very early identity mapping. We overwrite these mappings with KERNEL attribute later in the boot. Just being paranoid here as there is no need for USER bit to be set. If this breaks something(don't know the history), then we can simply drop this change.

2008-09-10x86: unsigned long pte_pfnHugh Dickins
pte_pfn() has always been of type unsigned long, even on 32-bit PAE; but in the current tip/next/mm tree it works out to be unsigned long long on 64-bit, which gives an irritating warning if you try to printk a pfn with the usual %lx. Now use the same pte_pfn() function, moved from pgtable-3level.h to pgtable.h, for all models: as suggested by Jeremy Fitzhardinge. And pte_page() can well move along with it (remaining a macro to avoid dependence on mm_types.h).

2008-07-22x86: rename PTE_MASK to PTE_PFN_MASKJeremy Fitzhardinge
Rusty, in his peevish way, complained that macros defining constants should have a name which somewhat accurately reflects the actual purpose of the constant. Aside from the fact that PTE_MASK gives no clue as to what's actually being masked, and is misleadingly similar to the functionally entirely different PMD_MASK, PUD_MASK and PGD_MASK, I don't really see what the problem is. But if this patch silences the incessent noise, then it will have achieved its goal (TODO: write test-case).

2008-07-08x86_32: remove __PAGE_KERNEL(_EXEC)Jeremy Fitzhardinge
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Older x86-32 processors do not support global mappings (PGD), so must only use it if the processor supports it. The _PAGE_KERNEL* flags always have _PAGE_KERNEL set, since logically we always want it set. This is OK even on processors which do not support PGD, since all _PAGE flags are masked with __supported_pte_mask before being turned into a real in-pagetable pte. On 32-bit systems, __supported_pte_mask is initialized to not contain _PAGE_GLOBAL, and it is then added if the CPU is found to support it. The x86-32 code used to use __PAGE_KERNEL/__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for this purpose, but they're now redundant and can be removed.

2008-07-08x86, generic: CPA add statistics about state of direct mapping v4Andi Kleen
Add information about the mapping state of the direct mapping to /proc/meminfo. I chose /proc/meminfo because that is where all the other memory statistics are too and it is a generally useful metric even outside debugging situations. A lot of split kernel pages means the kernel will run slower. This way we can see how many large pages are really used for it and how many are split. Useful for general insight into the kernel. v2: Add hotplug locking to 64bit to plug a very obscure theoretical race. 32bit doesn't need it because it doesn't support hotadd for lowmem.

Rather than making _PAGE_* constants signed, and then relying on sign-extension to make sure that masks derived from them are wide enough, just explicitly type them pteval_t. This guarantees that they and any derived values are the right size for the current pte format. The reliance on sign extension is fragile, and invokes some very subtle corners of the C type system.

2008-04-28mm: introduce pte_special pte bitNick Piggin
s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted: vm_normal_page() { ... if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) { if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; #else if (!pfn_valid(pfn)) return NULL; #endif goto out; } ... } This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get slightly better code generation in the process): vm_normal_page() { #ifdef s390 if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte)) return NULL; return pte_page(pte); #else ... #endif } And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this. Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate. So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any compiled code changes to mm/memory.o. BTW: I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion. The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function -- the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions, while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

2008-04-24x86: unify KERNEL_PGD_PTRSJeremy Fitzhardinge
Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined for 32-bit. There are a couple of follow-on changes from this: - KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS. The definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64, since it can have two different user address-space configurations. I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations. - USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar purposes. Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it completely unused, and so I removed it.

It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT. pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr are same.

2008-03-26x86: fix performance drop for glxSuresh Siddha
fix the 3D performance drop reported at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10328 fb drivers are using ioremap()/ioremap_nocache(), followed by mtrr_add with WC attribute. Recent changes in page attribute code made both ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() mappings as UC (instead of previous UC-). This breaks the graphics performance, as the effective memory type is UC instead of expected WC. The correct way to fix this is to add ioremap_wc() (which uses UC- in the absence of PAT kernel support and WC with PAT) and change all the fb drivers to use this new ioremap_wc() API. We can take this correct and longer route for post 2.6.25. For now, revert back to the UC- behavior for ioremap/ioremap_nocache.
