Sukadev Bhattiprolu f400e198b2 [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.

Eric's original description:

	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
	->pid == 1.

	Introduce is_init to capture this case.

	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
	process that has pid == 1.

Jason Baron df67b3daea [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ
Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.

While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach.  For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:

"
        if (cause < 0) {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else if (!cause) {
                /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
                        goto bad_area;
        }
"

Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest.  I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.

Additional discussion:

Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write.  Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.

Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV.  That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c.  However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write.  Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed.  It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address.  Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV.  Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.

According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.

The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations.  This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable.  If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

Adam Litke c9169f8747 [POWERPC] hugepage BUG fix
On Tue, 2006-08-15 at 08:22 -0700, Dave Hansen wrote:
> kernel BUG in cache_free_debugcheck at mm/slab.c:2748!

Alright, this one is only triggered when slab debugging is enabled.  The
slabs are assumed to be aligned on a HUGEPTE_TABLE_SIZE boundary.  The free
path makes use of this assumption and uses the lowest nibble to pass around
an index into an array of kmem_cache pointers.  With slab debugging turned
on, the slab is still aligned, but the "working" object pointer is not.
This would break the assumption above that a full nibble is available for
the PGF_CACHENUM_MASK.

The following patch reduces PGF_CACHENUM_MASK to cover only the two least
significant bits, which is enough to cover the current number of 4 pgtable
cache types.  Then use this constant to mask out the appropriate part of
the huge pte pointer.

Paul Mackerras bf72aeba2f powerpc: Use 64k pages without needing cache-inhibited large pages
Some POWER5+ machines can do 64k hardware pages for normal memory but
not for cache-inhibited pages.  This patch lets us use 64k hardware
pages for most user processes on such machines (assuming the kernel
has been configured with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y).  User processes
start out using 64k pages and get switched to 4k pages if they use any
non-cacheable mappings.

With this, we use 64k pages for the vmalloc region and 4k pages for
the imalloc region.  If anything creates a non-cacheable mapping in
the vmalloc region, the vmalloc region will get switched to 4k pages.
I don't know of any driver other than the DRM that would do this,
though, and these machines don't have AGP.

When a region gets switched from 64k pages to 4k pages, we do not have
to clear out all the 64k HPTEs from the hash table immediately.  We
use the _PAGE_COMBO bit in the Linux PTE to indicate whether the page
was hashed in as a 64k page or a set of 4k pages.  If hash_page is
trying to insert a 4k page for a Linux PTE and it sees that it has
already been inserted as a 64k page, it first invalidates the 64k HPTE
before inserting the 4k HPTE.  The hash invalidation routines also use
the _PAGE_COMBO bit, to determine whether to look for a 64k HPTE or a
set of 4k HPTEs to remove.  With those two changes, we can tolerate a
mix of 4k and 64k HPTEs in the hash table, and they will all get
removed when the address space is torn down.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt c5cf0e30bf [PATCH] powerpc: Fix buglet with MMU hash management
Our MMU hash management code would not set the "C" bit (changed bit) in
the hardware PTE when updating a RO PTE into a RW PTE. That would cause
the hardware to possibly to a write back to the hash table to set it on
the first store access, which in addition to being a performance issue,
might also hit a bug when running with native hash management (non-HV)
as our code is specifically optimized for the case where no write back
happens.

Thus there is a very small therocial window were a hash PTE can become
corrupted if that HPTE has just been upgraded to read write, a store
access happens on it, and that races with another processor evicting
that same slot. Since eviction (caused by an almost full hash) is
extremely rare, the bug is very unlikely to happen fortunately.

This fixes by allowing the updating of the protection bits in the native
hash handling to also set (but not clear) the "C" bit, and, in order to
also improve performances in the general case, by always setting that
bit on newly inserted hash PTE so that writeback really never happens.

Michael Ellerman 2babf5c2ec [PATCH] powerpc: Unify mem= handling
We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out
I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can
clean this mess up.

Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated
above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens
we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it.

This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we
do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify
lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.

Tested on P5 LPAR, iSeries, F50, 44p. Tested moving device tree on P5 and
44p and F50.

David Gibson f10a04c034 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix pagetable bloat for hugepages
At present, ARCH=powerpc kernels can waste considerable space in
pagetables when making large hugepage mappings.  Hugepage PTEs go in
PMD pages, but each PMD page maps 256M and so contains only 16
hugepage PTEs (128 bytes of data), but takes up a 1024 byte
allocation.  With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES enabled (64k base page size),
the situation is worse.  Now hugepage PTEs are at the PTE page level
(also mapping 256M), so we store 16 hugepage PTEs in a 64k allocation.

The PowerPC MMU already means that any 256M region is either all
hugepage, or all normal pages.  Thus, with some care, we can use a
different allocation for the hugepage PTE tables and only allocate the
128 bytes necessary.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 0e5519548f [PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: powerpc
for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

Eugene Surovegin bab70a4af7 [PATCH] lock PTE before updating it in 440/BookE page fault handler
Fix 44x and BookE page fault handler to correctly lock PTE before
trying to pte_update() it, otherwise this PTE might be swapped out
after pte_present() check but before pte_uptdate() call, resulting in
corrupted PTE. This can happen with enabled preemption and low memory
condition.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt e8222502ee [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

David Gibson 42b88befd6 [PATCH] hugepage: is_aligned_hugepage_range() cleanup
Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced
is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to
verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping.
is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement
prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own.

Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same
implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range().  On powerpc, which
implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never
used.

In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it
suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range,
whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed).

This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range().  Instead
prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly.  Most archs use the default
version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a
hugepage.  ia64 and powerpc define custom versions.  The ia64 one simply
checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to
being suitably aligned.  The powerpc version (just as previously) checks
for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to
set up new areas for use by hugepages.

No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions on ppc64 (POWER5 LPAR).
