We need to have irqs disabled to handle all the possible parallel update for
linux page table without holding locks.
Events that we are intersted in while walking page tables are
1) Page fault
2) umap
3) THP split
4) THP collapse
A) local_irq_disabled:
------------------------
1) page fault:
A none to valid transition via page fault is not an issue because we
would either see a none or valid. If it is none, we would error out
the page table walk. We may need to use on stack values when checking for
type of page table elements, because if we do
if (!is_hugepd()) {
if (!pmd_none() {
if (pmd_bad() {
We could take that bad condition because the pmd got converted to a hugepd
after the !is_hugepd check via a hugetlb fault.
The right way would be to check for pmd_none higher up or use on stack value.
2) A valid to none conversion via unmap:
We can safely walk the upper level table, because we don't remove the the
page table entries until rcu grace period. So even if we followed a
wrong pointer we still have the pointer valid till the grace period.
A PTE pointer returned need to be atomically checked for _PAGE_PRESENT and
_PAGE_BUSY. A valid pointer returned could becoming none later. To prevent
pte_clear we take _PAGE_BUSY.
3) THP split:
A valid transparent hugepage is converted to nomal page. Before we split we
do pmd_splitting_flush, which sets the hugepage PTE to _PAGE_SPLITTING
So when walking page table we need to check for pmd_trans_splitting and
handle that. The pte returned should also need to be checked for
_PAGE_SPLITTING before setting _PAGE_BUSY similar to _PAGE_PRESENT. We save
the value of PTE on stack and check for the flag in the local pte value.
If we don't have the value set we can safely operate on the local pte value
and we atomicaly set _PAGE_BUSY.
4) THP collapse:
A normal page gets converted to hugepage. In the collapse path, we
mark the pmd none early (pmdp_clear_flush). With irq disabled, if we
are aleady walking page table we would see the pmd_none and won't continue.
If we see a valid PMD, we should still check for _PAGE_PRESENT before
setting _PAGE_BUSY, to make sure we didn't collapse the PTE to a Huge PTE.

The deposted PTE page in the second half of the PMD table is used to

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it.
When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume
the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when
we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid
we should do a tlb invalidate. With hugepages, we need to pass the correct
actual page size value for tlb invalidation.
This change update the patch 0608d69246
"powerpc/mm: Always invalidate tlb on hpte invalidate and update" to handle
transparent hugepages correctly.

We look at both the segment base page size and actual page size and store

We also update all relevant functions to take actual page size argument
so that we can use the correct PTE LP encoding in HPTE. This should also
get the basic Multiple Page Size per Segment (MPSS) support. This is needed
to enable THP on ppc64.

This patch change the kernel VSID range so that we limit VSID_BITS to 37.
This enables us to support 64TB with 65 bit VA (37+28). Without this patch
we have boot hangs on platforms that only support 65 bit VA.
With this patch we now have proto vsid generated as below:
We first generate a 37-bit "proto-VSID". Proto-VSIDs are generated
from mmu context id and effective segment id of the address.
For user processes max context id is limited to ((1ul << 19) - 5)
for kernel space, we use the top 4 context ids to map address as below
0x7fffc - [ 0xc000000000000000 - 0xc0003fffffffffff ]
0x7fffd - [ 0xd000000000000000 - 0xd0003fffffffffff ]

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.
The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).
This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.

The RMA (RMO is a misnomer) is a concept specific to ppc64 (in fact
server ppc64 though I hijack it on embedded ppc64 for similar purposes)
and represents the area of memory that can be accessed in real mode
(aka with MMU off), or on embedded, from the exception vectors (which
is bolted in the TLB) which pretty much boils down to the same thing.
We take that out of the generic MEMBLOCK data structure and move it into

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).
The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.
It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.
Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().
The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

The hugepage arch code provides a number of hook functions/macros
which mirror the functionality of various normal page pte access
functions. Various changes in the normal page accessors (in
particular BenH's recent changes to the handling of lazy icache
flushing and PAGE_EXEC) have caused the hugepage versions to get out
of sync with the originals. In some cases, this is a bug, at least on
some MMU types.
One of the reasons that some hooks were not identical to the normal
page versions, is that the fact we're dealing with a hugepage needed
to be passed down do use the correct dcache-icache flush function.
This patch makes the main flush_dcache_icache_page() function hugepage
aware (by checking for the PageCompound flag). That in turn means we
can make set_huge_pte_at() just a call to set_pte_at() bringing it
back into sync. As a bonus, this lets us remove the
hash_huge_page_do_lazy_icache() function, replacing it with a call to
the hash_page_do_lazy_icache() function it was based on.
Some other hugepage pte access hooks - huge_ptep_get_and_clear() and
huge_ptep_clear_flush() - are not so easily unified, but this patch at
least brings them back into sync with the current versions of the
corresponding normal page functions.

This patch simplifies the logic used to initialize hugepages on
powerpc. The somewhat oddly named set_huge_psize() is renamed to
add_huge_page_size() and now does all necessary verification of
whether it's given a valid hugepage sizes (instead of just some) and
instantiates the generic hstate structure (but no more).
hugetlbpage_init() now steps through the available pagesizes, checks
if they're valid for hugepages by calling add_huge_page_size() and
initializes the kmem_caches for the hugepage pagetables. This means
we can now eliminate the mmu_huge_psizes array, since we no longer
need to pass the sizing information for the pagetable caches from
set_huge_psize() into hugetlbpage_init()
Determination of the default huge page size is also moved from the
hash code into the general hugepage code.

Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different
pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to
hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page
tables at a different level. Every hugepage aware path that needs to
walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the
slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables
accordingly. Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage
sizes, more layout options and more mess.
This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to
reduce this complexity. In the new scheme, instead of having to
consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the
PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables,
and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage
shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the
slice mask. This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple
levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for
now we assume only one level exists.
This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to
know how the pagetables should be set out. All other (hugepage)
pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go.
There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage
directory pointers, but it was only used for debug. We alter that
flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable
pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear
mapping). This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and
punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for
unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage
pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative.
While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating)
#defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.

early_init_mmu_secondary() is called at CPU hotplug time, so it
must be marked as __cpuinit, not __init.
Caused by 757c74d2 ("powerpc/mm: Introduce early_init_mmu() on 64-bit").

This moves some MMU related init code out of setup_64.c into hash_utils_64.c
and calls it early_init_mmu() and early_init_mmu_secondary(). This will
make it easier to plug in a new MMU type.

Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask.
It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

At the moment we size the hashtable based on 4kB pages / 2, even on a
64kB kernel. This results in a hashtable that is much larger than it
needs to be.
Grab the real page size and size the hashtable based on that
Note: This only has effect on non hypervisor machines.
