powerpc/vphn: move VPHN parsing logic to a separate file

2015-03-17T23:48:59+00:00

The goal behind this patch is to be able to write userland tests for the
VPHN parsing code.

powerpc/cell: Move spu_handle_mm_fault() out of cell platform

2014-10-08T09:14:54+00:00

Currently spu_handle_mm_fault() is in the cell platform.

This code is generically useful for other non-cell co-processors on powerpc.

This patch moves this function out of the cell platform into arch/powerpc/mm so
that others may use it.

powerpc: Remove STAB code

2014-07-28T04:10:22+00:00

Old cpus didn't have a Segment Lookaside Buffer (SLB), instead they had
a Segment Table (STAB). Now that we've dropped support for those cpus,
we can remove the STAB support entirely.

powerpc/THP: Add code to handle HPTE faults for hugepages

2013-06-21T06:01:56+00:00

The deposted PTE page in the second half of the PMD table is used to
track the state on hash PTEs. After updating the HPTE, we mark the
coresponding slot in the deposted PTE page valid.

powerpc/mm: Make mmap_64.c compile on 32bit powerpc

2013-06-20T06:55:11+00:00

There appears to be no good reason to keep this as 64bit only. It works
on 32bit also, and has checks so that it can work correctly with 32bit
binaries on 64bit hardware which is why I think this works.

I tested this on qemu using the virtex-ml507 machine type.

powerpc: Build kernel with -mcmodel=medium

2013-01-10T06:00:31+00:00

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.

Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:

# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.

On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

powerpc: Split ICSWX ACOP and PID processing

2011-11-25T03:11:27+00:00

Some processors, like embedded, that already have a PID register that
is managed by the system.  This patch separates the ACOP and PID
processing into separate files so that the ACOP code can be shared.

powerpc: Hugetlb for BookE

2011-09-19T23:19:40+00:00

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors.  This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints.  Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.

The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).

This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.
