arch/um/kernel/mem.c: remove arch_validate()

2008-07-24T17:47:24+00:00

- Remove arch_validate(), because no one uses it.

- Remove useless macro HAVE_ARCH_VALIDATE.

- Make the variable 'empty_bad_page' static.

PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures

2008-07-24T17:47:21+00:00

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:

	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):

#define PAGE_SHIFT      12
#define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.

Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

uml: use PAGE_SIZE in linker scripts

2008-05-13T15:02:22+00:00

This patch includes page.h header into linker scripts that allow us to
use PAGE_SIZE macro instead of numeric constant.

To be able to include page.h into linker scripts page.h is needed for
some modification - i.e.  we need to use __ASSEMBLY__ and _AC macro

CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.

2008-02-08T17:22:42+00:00

Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.

Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).

Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
 To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

uml: fix page table data sizes

2008-02-05T17:44:28+00:00

Get the sizes of various pieces of data right when using three-level
page tables.  pgd and pmd entries remain at 32 bits in a 32-bit
compilation because page tables will remain in low memory.  So,
PGDIR_SHIFT, the PTRS_PER_* values, set_pud, set_pmd are conditional
on 64BIT.

More use of phys_t is made when there are physical memory addresses
floating around.

ObCheckpatchViolationJustification - the new typedef is an alternate
definition of pmd_t, which I can't really live without.

uml: ptrace floating point fixes

2007-10-16T16:43:07+00:00

Handle floating point state better in ptrace.  The code now correctly
distinguishes between PTRACE_[GS]ETFPREGS and PTRACE_[GS]ETFPXREGS.  The FPX
requests get handed off to arch-specific code because that's not generic.

get_fpregs, set_fpregs, set_fpregs, and set_fpxregs needed real
implementations.

Something here exposed a missing include in asm/page.h, which needed
linux/types.h in order to get gfp_t, so that's fixed here.

uml: more page fault path trimming

2007-05-07T19:13:04+00:00

More trimming of the page fault path.

Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per
int.  The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be
passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion.

The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are
initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call.

wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by
comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of
interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers.  It
also has one check for a wait failure instead of two.  The caller is
expected to do the initial continue of the stub.  This gets rid of an
argument and some logic.  The fname argument is gone, as that can be
had from a stack trace.

user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or
two lines of code afterwards.

The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused.

flush_tlb_page is inlined.
