2020-08-07T18:33:26+00:00

Most architectures define pgd_free() as a wrapper for free_page().

Provide a generic version in asm-generic/pgalloc.h and enable its use for
most architectures.

Provide a generic implementation in asm-generic/pgalloc.h and use it where

asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic pmd_alloc_one() and pmd_free_one()

2020-08-07T18:33:26+00:00

For most architectures that support >2 levels of page tables,
pmd_alloc_one() is a wrapper for __get_free_pages(), sometimes with
__GFP_ZERO and sometimes followed by memset(0) instead.

More elaborate versions on arm64 and x86 account memory for the user page
tables and call to pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() as the part of PMD page
initialization.

Move the arm64 version to include/asm-generic/pgalloc.h and use the
generic version on several architectures.

The pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() is a NOP when ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is
not enabled, so there is no functional change for most architectures
except of the addition of __GFP_ACCOUNT for allocation of user page
tables.

The pmd_free() is a wrapper for free_page() in all the cases, so no
functional change here.

mm: remove quicklist page table caches

2019-09-24T22:54:09+00:00

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

arm64: switch to generic version of pte allocation

2019-07-12T18:05:45+00:00

The PTE allocations in arm64 are identical to the generic ones modulo the
GFP flags.

Using the generic pte_alloc_one() functions ensures that the user page
tables are allocated with __GFP_ACCOUNT set.

The arm64 definition of PGALLOC_GFP is removed and replaced with
GFP_PGTABLE_USER for p[gum]d_alloc_one() for the user page tables and
GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL for the kernel page tables. The KVM memory cache is now
using GFP_PGTABLE_USER.

The mappings created with create_pgd_mapping() are now using
GFP_PGTABLE_KERNEL.

The conversion to the generic version of pte_free_kernel() removes the NULL
check for pte.

The pte_free() version on arm64 is identical to the generic one and
can be simply dropped.

arm64: mm: enable per pmd page table lock

2019-04-09T10:21:50+00:00

Switch from per mm_struct to per pmd page table lock by enabling
ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK. This provides better granularity for
large system.

I'm not sure if there is contention on mm->page_table_lock. Given
the option comes at no cost (apart from initializing more spin
locks), why not enable it now.

We only do so when pmd is not folded, so we don't mistakenly call
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() on pud or p4d in pgd_pgtable_alloc().

mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions

2019-01-04T21:13:47+00:00

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

arm64: mm: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page tables

2018-02-16T18:13:57+00:00

In many cases, page tables can be accessed concurrently by either another
CPU (due to things like fast gup) or by the hardware page table walker
itself, which may set access/dirty bits. In such cases, it is important
to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page table entries so that
entries cannot be torn, merged or subject to apparent loss of coherence
due to compiler transformations.

Whilst there are some scenarios where this cannot happen (e.g. pinned
kernel mappings for the linear region), the overhead of using READ_ONCE
/WRITE_ONCE everywhere is minimal and makes the code an awful lot easier
to reason about. This patch consistently uses these macros in the arch
code, as well as explicitly namespacing pointers to page table entries
from the entries themselves by using adopting a 'p' suffix for the former
(as is sometimes used elsewhere in the kernel source).
