[POWERPC] Fix swapper_pg_dir size when CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y on FSL_BOOKE

2007-12-06T19:11:04+00:00

The size of swapper_pg_dir is 8k instead of 4k when using 64-bit PTEs
(CONFIG_PTE_64BIT).

[POWERPC] 4xx: Deal with 44x virtually tagged icache

2007-11-01T12:15:30+00:00

The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually
tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with
it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't
report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches
in their distro...

This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by
setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously
marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon
return to user space when that happens.

This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained
flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very
strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires
a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which
isn't something I want to deal with.

mm: remove ptep_test_and_clear_dirty and ptep_clear_flush_dirty

2007-07-17T17:22:59+00:00

Nobody is using ptep_test_and_clear_dirty and ptep_clear_flush_dirty.  Remove
the functions from all architectures.

Kill pte_rdprotect(), pte_exprotect(), pte_mkread(), pte_mkexec(), pte_read(),
pte_exec(), and pte_user() except where arch-specific code is making use of
them.

Rework ptep_set_access_flags and fix sun4c

2007-06-16T20:16:16+00:00

Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.

This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed).  This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.

[POWERPC] Start factoring pgtable-ppc32.h and pgtable-ppc64.h

2007-06-14T12:30:15+00:00

This factors some things defined in both pgtable-ppc32.h and
pgtable-ppc64.h into the common part of asm-powerpc/pgtable.h.  These
are all things which have essentially identical definitions, and which
by their nature are very unlikely ever to need different definitions
in the two cases.

[POWERPC] Remove the dregs of APUS support from arch/powerpc

2007-06-14T12:30:15+00:00

APUS (the Amiga Power-Up System) is not supported under arch/powerpc
and it's unlikely it ever will be.  Therefore, this patch removes the
fragments of APUS support code from arch/powerpc which have been
copied from arch/ppc.

A few APUS references are left in asm-powerpc in .h files which are
still used from arch/ppc.

[POWERPC] Abolish iopa(), mm_ptov(), io_block_mapping() from arch/powerpc

2007-06-14T12:30:15+00:00

These old-fashioned IO mapping functions no longer have any callers in
code which remains relevant on arch/powerpc.  Therefore, this removes
them from arch/powerpc.
