ARC: fix page address calculation if PAGE_OFFSET != LINUX_LINK_BASE

2015-02-13T12:31:12+00:00

We used to calculate page address differently in 2 cases:

1. In virt_to_page(x) we do
 --->8---
 mem_map + (x - CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE) >> PAGE_SHIFT
 --->8---

2. In in pte_page(x) we do
 --->8---
 mem_map + (pte_val(x) - PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT
 --->8---

That leads to problems in case PAGE_OFFSET != CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE -
different pages will be selected depending on where and how we calculate
page address.

In particular in the STAR 9000853582 when gdb attempted to read memory
of another process it got improper page in get_user_pages() because this
is exactly one of the places where we search for a page by pte_page().

The fix is trivial - we need to calculate page address similarly in both
cases.

mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs

2015-02-12T01:06:03+00:00

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
 >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

The code:

 > 2857                WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
   2858                                round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has
the same type -- int.  PUD_SHIFT.

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long.  On every arch for consistency.

arc: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers

2015-02-10T22:30:31+00:00

We've replaced remap_file_pages(2) implementation with emulation.  Nobody
creates non-linear mapping anymore.

ARC: MMUv4 preps/2 - Reshuffle PTE bits

2013-08-30T04:49:12+00:00

With previous commit freeing up PTE bits, reassign them so as to:

- Match the bit to H/w counterpart where possible
  (e.g. MMUv2 GLOBAL/PRESENT, this avoids a shift in create_tlb())
- Avoid holes in _PAGE_xxx definitions

ARC: MMUv4 preps/1 - Fold PTE K/U access flags

2013-08-29T12:21:36+00:00

The current ARC VM code has 13 flags in Page Table entry: some software
(accesed/dirty/non-linear-maps) and rest hardware specific. With 8k MMU
page, we need 19 bits for addressing page frame so remaining 13 bits is
just about enough to accomodate the current flags.

In MMUv4 there are 2 additional flags, SZ (normal or super page) and WT
(cache access mode write-thru) - and additionally PFN is 20 bits (vs. 19
before for 8k). Thus these can't be held in current PTE w/o making each
entry 64bit wide.

It seems there is some scope of compressing the current PTE flags (and
freeing up a few bits). Currently PTE contains fully orthogonal distinct
access permissions for kernel and user mode (Kr, Kw, Kx; Ur, Uw, Ux)
which can be folded into one set (R, W, X). The translation of 3 PTE
bits into 6 TLB bits (when programming the MMU) can be done based on
following pre-requites/assumptions:

1. For kernel-mode-only translations (vmalloc: 0x7000_0000 to
   0x7FFF_FFFF), PTE additionally has PAGE_GLOBAL flag set (and user
   space entries can never be global). Thus such a PTE can translate
   to Kr, Kw, Kx (as appropriate) and zero for User mode counterparts.

2. For non global entries, the PTE flags can be used to create mirrored
   K and U TLB bits. This is true after commit a950549c675f2c8c504
   "ARC: copy_(to|from)_user() to honor usermode-access permissions"
   which ensured that user-space translations _MUST_ have same access
   permissions for both U/K mode accesses so that  copy_{to,from}_user()
   play fair with fault based CoW break and such...

There is no such thing as free lunch - the cost is slightly infalted
TLB-Miss Handlers.

2013-07-03T18:09:27+00:00

Pull first batch of ARC changes from Vineet Gupta:
 "There's a second bunch to follow next week - which depends on commits
  on other trees (irq/net).  I'd have preferred the accompanying ARC
  change via respective trees, but it didn't workout somehow.

  Highlights of changes:

   - Continuation of ARC MM changes from 3.10 including

       zero page optimization
       Setting pagecache pages dirty by default
       Non executable stack by default
       Reducing dcache flushes for aliasing VIPT config

   - Long overdue rework of pt_regs machinery - removing the unused word
     gutters and adding ECR register to baseline (helps cleanup lot of
     low level code)

   - Support for ARC gcc 4.8

   - Few other preventive fixes, cosmetics, usage of Kconfig helper..

  The diffstat is larger than normal primarily because of arcregs.h
  header split as well as beautification of macros in entry.h"
