* sh: Revert TLB miss fast-path changes that broke PTEA parts.Paul Mundt2007-02-141-0/+87
| | | | | | | | This ended up causing problems for older parts (particularly ones using PTEA). Revert this for now, it can be added back in once it's had some more testing. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

* sh: Get the PGD right in oops case with 64-bit PTEs.Paul Mundt2006-12-061-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously this was using a static pgd shift in the reporting code, simply flip this to PGDIR_SHIFT which does the right thing depending on varying PTE magnitudes on the SH-X2 MMU. While we're at it, and since it's been recently added, use get_TTB() for fetching the TTB, rather than the open coded instructions. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

* sh: pmd rework.Stuart Menefy2006-12-061-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | Remove extra bits from the pmd structure and store a kernel logical address rather than a physical address. This allows it to be directly dereferenced. Another piece of wierdness inherited from x86. Signed-off-by: Stuart Menefy <stuart.menefy@st.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

* [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu2006-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron2006-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

* sh: page table alloc cleanups and page fault optimizations.Paul Mundt2006-09-271-162/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup of page table allocators, using generic folded PMD and PUD helpers. TLB flushing operations are moved to a more sensible spot. The page fault handler is also optimized slightly, we no longer waste cycles on IRQ disabling for flushing of the page from the ITLB, since we're already under CLI protection by the initial exception handler.

* sh: Add control register barriers.Paul Mundt2006-09-271-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when making changes to control registers, we typically need some time for changes to take effect (8 nops, generally). However, for sh4a we simply need to do an icbi.. This is a simple patch for implementing a general purpose ctrl_barrier() which functions as a control register write barrier. There's some additional documentation in the patch itself, but it's pretty self explanatory. There were also some places where we were not doing the barrier, which didn't seem to have any adverse effects on legacy parts, but certainly did on sh4a. It's safer to have the barrier in place for legacy parts as well in these cases, though this does make flush_tlb_all() more expensive (by an order of 8 nops). We can ifdef around the flush_tlb_all() case for now if it's clear that all legacy parts won't have a problem with this. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
* [PATCH] mm: i386 sh sh64 ready for split ptlockHugh Dickins2005-10-291-17/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of pte_offset_map (or inappropriate pte_offset_kernel) and mm-wide page_table_lock, in sundry arch places. The i386 vm86 mark_screen_rdonly: yes, there was and is an assumption that the screen fits inside the one page table, as indeed it does. The sh __do_page_fault: which handles both kernel faults (without lock) and user mm faults (locked - though it set_pte without locking before). The sh64 flush_cache_range and helpers: which wrongly thought callers held page_table_lock before (only its tlb_start_vma did, and no longer does so); moved the flush loop down, and adjusted the large versus small range decision to consider a range which spans page tables as large.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+374
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
