[PATCH] paravirt: remove set pte atomic

2006-10-01T07:39:34Z

Now that ptep_establish has a definition in PAE i386 3-level paging code, the only paging model which is insane enough to have multi-word hardware PTEs which are not efficient to set atomically, we can remove the ghost of set_pte_atomic from other architectures which falesly duplicated it, and remove all knowledge of it from the generic pgtable code. set_pte_atomic is now a private pte operator which is specific to i386 Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] paravirt: lazy mmu mode hooks.patch

2006-10-01T07:39:33Z

Implement lazy MMU update hooks which are SMP safe for both direct and shadow page tables. The idea is that PTE updates and page invalidations while in lazy mode can be batched into a single hypercall. We use this in VMI for shadow page table synchronization, and it is a win. It also can be used by PPC and for direct page tables on Xen. For SMP, the enter / leave must happen under protection of the page table locks for page tables which are being modified. This is because otherwise, you end up with stale state in the batched hypercall, which other CPUs can race ahead of. Doing this under the protection of the locks guarantees the synchronization is correct, and also means that spurious faults which are generated during this window by remote CPUs are properly handled, as the page fault handler must re-check the PTE under protection of the same lock.

[PATCH] paravirt: pte clear not present

2006-10-01T07:39:33Z

Change pte_clear_full to a more appropriately named pte_clear_not_present, allowing optimizations when not-present mapping changes need not be reflected in the hardware TLB for protected page table modes. There is also another case that can use it in the fremap code.

[PATCH] Let WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition

2006-09-29T16:18:06Z

Letting WARN_ON/WARN_ON_ONCE return the condition means that you could do if (WARN_ON(blah)) { handle_impossible_case } Rather than if (unlikely(blah)) { WARN_ON(1) handle_impossible_case } I checked all the newly added WARN_ON_ONCE users and none of them test the return status so we can still change it.

[PATCH] Include __param section in read-only data range

2006-09-27T15:26:19Z

The param section is an array of "kernel_param" structures, storing only constant data: pointer to name, permission of the variable pointed to by (void *)arg and pointers to set/get methods. Move end_rodata down to include __param section in the read-only range used by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

[PATCH] x86: trivial pgtable.h ASSEMBLY move

2006-09-26T15:48:56Z

Parsing generic pgtable.h in assembler is simply crazy. None of this file is needed in assembler code, and C inline functions and structures routine break one or more different compiles.

[PATCH] x86: put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in vmlinux

2006-09-26T15:48:55Z

This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for other architectures will be as simple. This change also adds , which defines C and Assembler macros for actually creating ELF notes. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Eric W.

[PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros

2006-09-26T15:48:51Z

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the other hand, return the kernel virtual address. Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is simple to standardize their usage. Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

[PATCH] trigger a syntax error if percpu macros are incorrectly used

2006-09-26T15:48:44Z

get_cpu_var()/per_cpu()/__get_cpu_var() arguments must be simple identifiers. Otherwise the arch dependent implementations might break. This patch enforces the correct usage of the macros by producing a syntax error if the variable is not a simple identifier.
