parisc: add flexible mmap memory layout support

2014-02-02T20:00:13+00:00

Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in
http://lwn.net/Articles/91829). This is especially very interesting on
parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a
64bit Linux kernel).

parisc: use spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore for PTE updates

2013-04-25T20:37:00+00:00

User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
and random segmentation faults.  This patch improves the situation although
there is more work to be done.

One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at).  This
change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock.  This lock
is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
not used after the page table entry is updated.  The UP and SMP code are now
identical.

The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
cache.c to improve its efficiency.

[PARISC] Purge existing TLB entries in set_pte_at and ptep_set_wrprotect

2013-01-19T10:54:45+00:00

This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and
it  significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as
the rp3440.  When write  protecting a page for COW, we need to
purge the existing translation.  Otherwise, the COW break
doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry
which allows writes.

[PARISC] only make executable areas executable

2011-04-15T17:55:18+00:00

Currently parisc has the whole kernel marked as RWX, meaning any
kernel page at all is eligible to be executed.  This can cause a
theoretical problem on systems with combined I/D TLB because the act
of referencing a page causes a TLB insertion with an executable bit.
This TLB entry may be used by the CPU as the basis for speculating the
page into the I-Cache.  If this speculated page is subsequently used
for a user process, there is the possibility we will get a stale
I-cache line picked up as the binary executes.

As a point of good practise, only mark actual kernel text pages as
executable.  The same has to be done for init_text pages, but they're
converted to data pages (and the I-Cache flushed) when the init memory
is released.

parisc: fix compile breakage caused by inlining maybe_mkwrite

2011-01-16T23:05:44+00:00

On PARISC, we have an include of linux/mm.h inside our asm/pgtable.h, so
this patch

  commit 14fd403f2146f740942d78af4e0ee59396ad8eab
  Author: Andrea Arcangeli 
  Date:   Thu Jan 13 15:46:37 2011 -0800

      thp: export maybe_mkwrite

causes us an unsatisfiable use of pte_mkwrite in linux/mm.h.

The fix is to avoid including linux/mm.h in our pgtable.h, which
unbreaks the build.

eliminate special FLUSH flag from page table

2011-01-15T14:45:54+00:00

This was used to flush a region even if the page table entry had been
cleared.  In theory this was never necessary, but now we've switched to
alias based flushing, the whole set of code associated with it can be dumped.

mm: remove pte_*map_nested()

2010-10-26T23:52:08+00:00

Since we no longer need to provide KM_type, the whole pte_*map_nested()
API is now redundant, remove it.
