* sparc64: Support transparent huge pages.David Miller2012-10-091-7/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory. Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss assembler page table walkers aware of the layout. set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping. We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added in the future. With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

* sparc64: Document PGD and PMD layout.David Miller2012-10-091-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We're going to be messing around with the PMD interpretation and layout for the sake of transparent huge pages, so we better clearly document what we're starting with.

* sparc64: Halve the size of PTE tablesDavid Miller2012-10-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page support. Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB. The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE != PMD_SIZE. So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page. We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures that this requirement is always met. There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

* sparc: Access kernel TSB using physical addressing when possible.David S. Miller2011-08-051-27/+24
| | | | | | | | On sun4v this is basically required since we point the hypervisor and the TSB walking hardware at these tables using physical addressing too. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* sparc64: Stop using memory barriers for atomics and locks.David S. Miller2008-12-041-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | The kernel always executes in the TSO memory model now, so none of this stuff is necessary any more. With helpful feedback from Nick Piggin. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/includeSam Ravnborg2008-07-271-0/+283
The majority of this patch was created by the following script: *** ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm mkdir -p $ASM git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM git rm include/asm-sparc64/* git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/* sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/* *** The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc for header files when sparc64 is being build. And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from sparc64 code. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
