19 years ago[PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepages
David Gibson [Mon, 7 Nov 2005 08:57:52 +0000 (00:57 -0800)]
[PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepages

This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to
fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by
this patch).

The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64
introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id
c594adad5653491813959277fb87a2fef54c4e05) due to a misunderstanding of the
srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa).  The problem arises when a 64-bit
process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual).
In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for
hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for
hugepages.

In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to
be more sensible.  Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages
if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all
addresses below 1TB for hugepage).  With this patch, any given address is
governed by a single bitmap.  Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage
if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M
granularity).  Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff
the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set.  Higher addresses are marked
for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB
granularity).

To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending
patch for 64k base page size [0].  As such, this patch also addresses a
hugepage problem introduced by that patch.  That patch allows hugepages of
1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when
using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are
stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB.  This patch simply
disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable
them some other day).

Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5
LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

 The patch configures the CSR register closely following the directives
 in [1], paragraph 4.1, page 19.

 According to the considerations in [1], page 11, while the AHB bus
 supports both endian modes, on the IXP4XX it always uses big-endian.

 The PCI bus is connected to the South AHB. A wrong setting in the CSR
 register will thus cause a malfunctional PCI bus.

 A schematic diagram of the bus interconnections on the IXP4XX
 can be found in [1], page 18.

 The patch has been verified to work on the NSLU2 in
 both LE and BE modes.

[PATCH] kbuild: permanently fix kernel configuration include mess

Include autoconf.h into every kernel compilation via the gcc command line
using -imacros.  This ensures that we have the kernel configuration
included from the start, rather than relying on each file having #include
<linux/config.h> as appropriate.  History has shown that this is something
which is difficult to get right.

Since we now include the kernel configuration automatically, make
configcheck becomes meaningless, so remove it.

[PATCH] Set the vga cursor even when hidden

Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,

We have an optimized sha1 routine (arch/arm/lib/sha1.S) meant to
override the generic one in lib/sha1.c.

Unfortunately lib/lib.a is listed _before_ arch/arm/lib/lib.a in the
link argument list and therefore the architecture specific lib functions
are not picked up before the generic versions.

This patch is a quick fix to change that ordering for ARM.  Here's what

powerpc: Fix random memory corruption in merged elf.h

The merged verison of ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS is basically the PPC64 version, with
a memset that came from PPC and a few types abstracted out into #defines. But
it's not _quite_ right.

The first problem is we calculate the number of registers with:
        nregs = sizeof(struct pt_regs) / sizeof(ELF_GREG_TYPE)

For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's bogus because the registers are
64 bits, but ELF_GREG_TYPE is u32, so nregs == 88 which is wrong.

The other problem is the memset, which assumes a struct pt_regs is smaller
than a struct elf_regs. For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's false.

The fix is to calculate the number of regs using sizeof(unsigned long), which
should always be right, and just memset the whole damn thing _before_ copying
the registers in.
