* [POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)Kumar Gala2008-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and kdump). The support can be configured at compile time by setting CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as desired. Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. Setting this config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START. If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning. However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program header physical address field in the resulting ELF image. Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a multiple of 256M. This is due to how we map TLBs to cover lowmem. This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment in the future. It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a non-aligned physical address. All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings. ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. /dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

* [POWERPC] Update linker script to properly set physical addressesKumar Gala2008-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can set LOAD_OFFSET and use the AT attribute on sections and the linker will properly set the physical address of the LOAD program header for us. This allows us to know how the PHYSICAL_START the user configured a kernel with by just looking at the resulting vmlinux ELF. This is pretty much stolen from how x86 does things in their linker scripts. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.Martin Schwidefsky2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> reported: 2.6.23-rc1 breaks the build for 64-bit powerpc for me (using maple_defconfig): LD vmlinux.o powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: dynreloc miscount for kernel/built-in.o, section .opd powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: can not edit opd Bad value make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1 However, I see a possibly related binutils patch: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/33650 It was tracked down to be caused by the weak prototype declaration in mm.h: __attribute__((weak)) const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma); But there is no need to make the declaration weak - only the definition needs to be marked weak. So drop the weak declaration. And in the process drop the duplicate definition in page.h for powerpc.

* [POWERPC] Remove use of 4level-fixup.h for ppc32David Gibson2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack, to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels). This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.

* [POWERPC] Fix STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKSDavid Gibson2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we don't have it active by default, the STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS option has bitrotted again. This patch fixes a couple of simple build fixes if the option is selected. First, pud_t mustn't be defined in page.h on 32-bit systems, because it conflicts with the version in the generic pud-folding code. Second, pci_32.c is missing a __pgprot() wrapper call. Third, a couple of PS3 files use constants of type pgprot_t when they need the raw values, we add pgprot_val() calls to fix this.

| | | | | | | | | | PPC32 is still using asm-generic/4level-fixup.h, but asm-powerpc/page.h was defining pud_t and pgd_t.

* [PATCH] powerpc: Separate usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSETMichael Ellerman2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch separates usage of KERNELBASE and PAGE_OFFSET. I haven't looked at any of the PPC32 code, if we ever want to support Kdump on PPC we'll have to do another audit, ditto for iSeries. This patch makes PAGE_OFFSET the constant, it'll always be 0xC * 1 gazillion for 64-bit. To get a physical address from a virtual one you subtract PAGE_OFFSET, _not_ KERNELBASE. KERNELBASE is the virtual address of the start of the kernel, it's often the same as PAGE_OFFSET, but _might not be_. If you want to know something's offset from the start of the kernel you should subtract KERNELBASE.
