This is a backport from 2.6 which I did to overcome 8xx CPU
bugs. 8xx does not update the DAR register when taking a TLB
error caused by dcbX and icbi insns which makes it very
tricky to use these insns. Also the dcbst wrongly sets the
the store bit when faulting into DTLB error.
A few more bugs very found during development.
I know 2.4 is in strict maintenance mode and 8xx is obsolete
but as it is still in use I wanted 8xx to age with grace.
Addendum:
I have now ported our 8xx custom board to 2.4.37.11 and
tested these patches there.
V2:
- Remove mandatory pinning of kernel ITLB. It is not
needed in 2.4
8 MB Large page support will follow.
Joakim Tjernlund (14):
8xx: Use a macro to simpliy CPU6 errata code.
8xx: Tag DAR with 0x00f0 to catch buggy instructions.
8xx: invalidate non present TLBs
8xx: Fix CONFIG_PIN_TLB
8xx: Update TLB asm so it behaves as linux mm expects.
8xx: Fixup DAR from buggy dcbX instructions.
8xx: CPU6 errata make DTLB error too big to fit.
8xx: Add missing Guarded setting in DTLB Error.
8xx: Restore _PAGE_WRITETHRU
8xx: Set correct HW pte flags in DTLB Error too
8xx: start using dcbX instructions in various copy routines
8xx: Use symbolic constants in TLB asm
8xx: Optimize TLB Miss handlers
8xx: The TLB miss handler manages ACCESSED correctly.

dcbz, dcbf, dcbi, dcbst and icbi do not set DAR when they
cause a DTLB Error. Dectect this by tagging DAR with 0x00f0
at every exception exit that modifies DAR.
This also fixes MachineCheck to pass DAR and DSISR as well.

8xx sometimes need to load a invalid/non-present TLBs in
it DTLB asm handler.
These must be invalidated separately as 8xx MMU don't.

Update the TLB asm to make proper use of _PAGE_DIRTY and _PAGE_ACCESSED.
Get rid of _PAGE_HWWRITE too.
Pros:
- PRESENT is copied to ACCESSED, fixing accounting
- DIRTY is mapped to 0x100, the changed bit, and is set directly
when a page has been made dirty.
- Proper RO/RW mapping of user space.
- Free up 2 SW TLB bits in the linux pte(add back _PAGE_WRITETHRU ?)
- kernel RO/user NA support. Not sure this is really needed, would save
a few insn if not required.
Cons:
- A few more instructions in the DTLB Miss routine.

This is an assembler version to fixup DAR not being set
by dcbX, icbi instructions. There are two versions, one
uses selfmodifing code, the other uses a
jump table but is much bigger(default).

only DTLB Miss did set this bit, DTLB Error needs too otherwise
the setting is lost when the page becomes dirty.

8xx has not had WRITETHRU due to lack of bits in the pte.
After the recent rewrite of the 8xx TLB code, there are
two bits left. Use one of them to WRITETHRU.

DTLB Error needs to adjust the HW PTE bits as DTLB Miss
does.

Now that 8xx can fixup dcbX instructions, start using them
where possible like every other PowerPc arch do.

Only update pte w.r.t ACCESSED if it isn't already set
Wrap ACCESSED with #ifndef NO_SWAP for too ease optimization.

Thank you. I must admit I was hoping those patches would come in
for a last release before the end of the year :-)
Unless there is any objection from anyone, I'll merge them when
kernel.org is back online.

Not yet, I just need to find some time to release another 2.4 with these

I'm planning on doing 2.4.37.12 once I'm finished with 2.6.27.60. However I'll
have to find another place to host it, as the 2.4 tree was never completely
recovered from master.kernel.org after the break-in, and admins there have
many more important things to do than to spend their time restoring the 2.4
files. Probably that I'll put that into my account.
BTW, since you're asking, you seem to still be using 2.4. Do you think it's
worth pursuing maintenance over 2.4.37.12 and if so for how long ? I'm asking
because until the break-in, I felt like almost nobody was using it anymore,
but since the break-in, I received a number of mails asking where to download
it. So now I assume that there are still users, but they're too much silent.
Regards,
Willy

I see.

yes, they are silent I guess. I figure, after 2.4.37.12, a public git tree
on kernel org which still receives fixes would be enough.

That's probably a good idea indeed. It avoids the need for a release for a
single patch and still allows people to pick patches when they intend to
build something.

Hi Joakim,

FYI, I've merged your patches and pushed them along with a few pending
other ones here :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/wtarreau/linux-2.4.git;a=summary
There will only be git updates from now on. Probably that once in a while I'll
tag the tree to make things easier to check.
Thanks for taking care of sending fixes for old kernels !
Cheers,
Willy
