      David S. Miller authored
      We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes,
      so taking advantage of this can save many instructions
      compared to the simple memset() call we make now.
      
      A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u
      and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara.
      
      The next trick is to be able to perform an init and
      a copy_tsb() in parallel when growing a TSB table.

      [SPARC64]: Top-down address space allocation for 32-bit tasks. · a91690dd
      David S. Miller authored
      Currently allocations are very constrained for 32-bit processes.
      It grows down-up from 0x70000000 to 0xf0000000 which gives about
      2GB of stack + dynamic mmap() space.
      
      So support the top-down method, and we need to override the
      generic helper function in order to deal with D-cache coloring.
      
      With these changes I was able to squeeze out a mmap() just over
      3.6GB in size in a 32-bit process.

      [SPARC64]: Fix and re-enable dynamic TSB sizing. · 7a1ac526
      David S. Miller authored
      This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases.
      The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged
      them all up here.
      
      1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB
         switching to and from kernel threads.
      
         We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus
         use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event.
      
         There is a big comment now in that function describing
         exactly how it can happen.
      
      2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be
         guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock.  This makes
         page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both
         TSB growing and TLB context changes.
      
      3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault
         processing.  Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but
         that is deadlock prone.  At the end of do_sparc64_fault()
         we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow
         sequence.  We also have dropped the address space semaphore.
      
      While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine
      and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file.  This piece of
      code is quite time critical.
      
      There are some small negative side effects to this code which
      can be improved upon.  In particular we grab the mm->context.lock
      even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's
      a bit excessive.  We can get rid of that locking, and the same
      lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around
      the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer
      and tsb_nentries value.  That would work because anyone growing
      the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the
      TSB change cross call.
      
      I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in
      right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description
      is here for reference.
      
      This code seems very solid now.  It passes several parallel GCC
      bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is
      a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel.  That puts
      about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu
      migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity,
      incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine
      real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test
      system. :-)

      [SPARC64]: Fix 32-bit truncation which broke sparsemem. · 17b0e199
      David S. Miller authored
      The page->flags manipulations done by the D-cache dirty
      state tracking was broken because the constants were not
      marked with "UL" to make them 64-bit, which means we were
      clobbering the upper 32-bits of page->flags all the time.
      
      This doesn't jive well with sparsemem which stores the
      section and indexing information in the top 32-bits of
      page->flags.
      
      This is yet another sparc64 bug which has been with us
      forever.
      
      While we're here, tidy up some things in bootmem_init()
      and paginig_init():
      
      1) Pass min_low_pfn to init_bootmem_node(), it's identical
         to (phys_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) but we should use consistent
         with the variable names we print in CONFIG_BOOTMEM_DEBUG
      
      2) max_mapnr, although no longer used, was being set
         inaccurately, we shouldn't subtract pfn_base any more.
      
      3) All the games with phys_base in the zones_*[] arrays
         we pass to free_area_init_node() are no longer necessary.
      
      Thanks to Josh Grebe and Fabbione for the bug reports
      and testing.  Fix also verified locally on an SB2500
      which had a memory layout that triggered the same problem.

      [SPARC64]: More SUN4V cpu mondo bug fixing. · 3cab0c3e
      David S. Miller authored
      This cpu mondo sending interface isn't all that easy to
      use correctly...
      
      We were clearing out the wrong bits from the "mask" after getting
      something other than EOK from the hypervisor.
      
      It turns out the hypervisor can just be resent the same cpu_list[]
      array, with the 0xffff "done" entries still in there, and it will do
      the right thing.
      
      So don't update or try to rebuild the cpu_list[] array to condense it.
      
      This requires the "forward_progress" check to be done slightly
      differently, but this new scheme is less bug prone than what we were
      doing before.

      [SPARC64]: Do not allow mapping pages within 4GB of 64-bit VA hole. · 8bcd1741
      David S. Miller authored
      The UltraSPARC T1 manual recommends this because the chip
      could instruction prefetch into the VA hole, and this would
      also make decoding  certain kinds of memory access traps
      more difficult (because the chip sign extends certain pieces
      of trap state).

      [SPARC64]: Fix _PAGE_EXEC handling. · 45f791eb
      David S. Miller authored
      First of all, use the known _PAGE_EXEC_{4U,4V} value instead
      of loading _PAGE_EXEC from memory.  We either know which one
      to use by context, or we can code patch the test.
      
      Next, we need to check executability of a PTE in the generic
      TSB miss handler.
