2007-12-13[SPARC64]: Fix two kernel linear mapping setup bugs.David S. Miller
This was caught and identified by Greg Onufer. Since we setup the 256M/4M bitmap table after taking over the trap table, it's possible for some 4M mapping to get loaded in the TLB beforhand which later will be 256M mappings. This can cause illegal TLB multiple-match conditions. Fix this by setting up the bitmap before we take over the trap table. Next, __flush_tlb_all() was not doing anything on hypervisor platforms. Fix by adding sun4v_mmu_demap_all() and calling it. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-31[SPARC64]: Fix build failure when CONFIG_BUG is disabled.David S. Miller
When CONFIG_BUG is turned off, the standard trick of: switch (x) { case X: ... case Y: ... default: BUG(); }; to mark impossible cases does not work because BUG() evalutes to nothing and thus GCC just sees a fallthrough code path. Add an explicit KERN_ERR log message and a do_exit() to trap this case. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-16fix memory hot remove not configured case.KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, arch dependent code around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is a mess. This patch cleans up them. This is against 2.6.23-rc6-mm1. - fix compile failure on ia64/ CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE case. - For !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, add generic no-op remove_memory(), which returns -EINVAL. - removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc. - removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64. - only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it to return -EINVAL. Note: Currently, only ia64 supports CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. I welcome other archs if there are requirements and testers.

2007-10-16During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process groupWill Schmidt
We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory condition. Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious that something has gone wrong. This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than just the one thread.

2007-08-31hugepage: fix broken check for offset alignment in hugepage mappingsDavid Gibson
For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to be aligned to the size of a hugepage. In commit 68589bc353037f233fe510ad9ff432338c95db66, the check for this was moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks. But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to commit 4b1d89290b62bb2db476c94c82cf7442aab440c8, prepare_hugepage_range() is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings. This means we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc and i386 at least. This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range() and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap(). I'm putting it there, rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

2007-05-29[SPARC64]: Eliminate NR_CPUS limitations.David S. Miller
Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical systems don't have that many cpus. Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary NR_CPUS values: 1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on D-cache aliasing platforms. With some build time calculations and some build-time BUG checks on page->flags layout, this one was easily solved. 2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set. Some simple looping logic clears that up too. 3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16. There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64 specific problem. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-05-08move die notifier handling to common codeChristoph Hellwig
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

2006-12-07[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb pageChen, Kenneth W
Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.

2006-09-26[SPARC64]: Kill bogus check from bootmem_init().David S. Miller
There is an ancient and totally incorrect sanity check being done on the ramdisk location. The check assumes that the kernel is always loaded to physical address zero, which is wrong. It was trying to validate the ramdisk value by saying that if it fell within the kernel image address range it must be wrong. Anyways, kill this because it actually creates problems. The 'ramdisk_image' should always be adjusted down by KERNBASE. SILO can easily put the ramdisk in a location which causes this test to trigger, breaking things.

2006-08-29[SPARC64]: Fix X server hangs due to large pages.David S. Miller
This problem was introduced by changeset 14778d9072e53d2171f66ffd9657daff41acfaed Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range(). It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage mapping on a fault. Adding special handling for this would add considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add(). So let's just side-step the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by io_remap_pfn_range(). The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that.
