powerpc: Trivially merge several headers from asm-ppc64 to asm-powerpc

2005-11-19T09:17:32+00:00

For these, I have just done the lame-o merge where the file ends up looking like: #ifndef CONFIG_PPC64 #include #else ... contents from asm-ppc64/foo.h #endif so nothing has changed, really, except that we reduce include/asm-ppc64 a bit more. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove imalloc.h

2005-11-19T03:46:02+00:00

asm-ppc64/imalloc.h is only included from files in arch/powerpc/mm. We already have a header for mm local definitions, arch/powerpc/mm/mmu_decl.h. Thus, this patch moves the contents of imalloc.h into mmu_decl.h. The only exception are the definitions of PHBS_IO_BASE, IMALLOC_BASE and IMALLOC_END. Those are moved into pgtable.h, next to similar definitions of VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_SIZE. Built for multiplatform 32bit and 64bit (ARCH=powerpc).

[PATCH] fix remaining missing includes

2005-11-07T15:53:41+00:00

Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous fix-missing-includes.patch. This should now allow not to include sched.h from module.h, which is done by a followup patch. Signed-off-by: Tim Schmielau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages

2005-11-07T00:56:47+00:00

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently. Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the information from the newer hypervisors.

[PATCH] mm: page fault handlers tidyup

2005-10-30T04:40:37+00:00

Impose a little more consistency on the page fault handlers do_wp_page, do_swap_page, do_anonymous_page, do_no_page, do_file_page: why not pass their arguments in the same order, called the same names? break_cow is all very well, but what it did was inlined elsewhere: easier to compare if it's brought back into do_wp_page. do_file_page's fallback to do_no_page dates from a time when we were testing pte_file by using it wherever possible: currently it's peculiar to nonlinear vmas, so just check that. BUG_ON if not? Better not, it's probably page table corruption, so just show the pte: hmm, there's a pte_ERROR macro, let's use that for do_wp_page's invalid pfn too. Hah! Someone in the ppc64 world noticed pte_ERROR was unused so removed it: restored (and say "pud" not "pmd" in its pud_ERROR).

[PATCH] ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns instead of addresses

2005-10-29T04:25:49+00:00

Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an address. This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G on 32-bit architectures. We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G. Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an address by directly comparing to max_pfn. Working with max_pfn instead of high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

[PATCH] Four level pagetables for ppc64

2005-08-29T00:53:31+00:00

Implement 4-level pagetables for ppc64 This patch implements full four-level page tables for ppc64, thereby extending the usable user address range to 44 bits (16T). The patch uses a full page for the tables at the bottom and top level, and a quarter page for the intermediate levels. It uses full 64-bit pointers at every level, thus also increasing the addressable range of physical memory. This patch also tweaks the VSID allocation to allow matching range for user addresses (this halves the number of available contexts) and adds some #if and BUILD_BUG sanity checks.

[PATCH] ppc64: Abolish ioremap_mm

2005-06-22T01:46:26+00:00

Currently ppc64 has two mm_structs for the kernel, init_mm and also ioremap_mm. The latter really isn't necessary: this patch abolishes it, instead restricting vmallocs to the lower 1TB of the init_mm's range and placing io mappings in the upper 1TB. This simplifies the code in a number of places and eliminates an unecessary set of pagetables. It also tweaks the unmap/free path a little, allowing us to remove the unmap_im_area() set of page table walkers, replacing them with unmap_vm_area().
