* powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell2008-08-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* [POWERPC] Fix possible access to free pagesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2007-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I think we have a subtle race on ppc64 with the tlb batching. The common code expects tlb_flush() to actually flush any pending TLB batch. It does that because it delays all page freeing until after tlb_flush() is called, in order to ensure no stale reference to those pages exist in any TLB, thus causing potential access to the freed pages. However, our tlb_flush only triggers the RCU for freeing page table pages, it does not currently trigger a flush of a pending TLB/hash batch, which is, I think, an error. This fixes it.

* [POWERPC] Make tlb flush batch use lazy MMU modeBenjamin Herrenschmidt2007-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current tlb flush code on powerpc 64 bits has a subtle race since we lost the page table lock due to the possible faulting in of new PTEs after a previous one has been removed but before the corresponding hash entry has been evicted, which can leads to all sort of fatal problems. This patch reworks the batch code completely. It doesn't use the mmu_gather stuff anymore. Instead, we use the lazy mmu hooks that were added by the paravirt code. They have the nice property that the enter/leave lazy mmu mode pair is always fully contained by the PTE lock for a given range of PTEs. Thus we can guarantee that all batches are flushed on a given CPU before it drops that lock. We also generalize batching for any PTE update that require a flush. Batching is now enabled on a CPU by arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and disabled by arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode(). The code epects that this is always contained within a PTE lock section so no preemption can happen and no PTE insertion in that range from another CPU. When batching is enabled on a CPU, every PTE updates that need a hash flush will use the batch for that flush.

* [PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includesArnd Bergmann2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does not have this yet. This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__ any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when including any of the headers in user space libraries.
