Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

I would like to merge the new support that depends on this in 2.6.32,
so unless there's major objections, I'd like this to go in early during
the merge window. We can sort out separately how to carry the patch
around in -next until then since the powerpc tree will have a dependency
on it.

I haven't had a chance to test or even build on most architectures, the
patch is reasonably trivial but I may have screwed up regardless, I
appologize in advance, let me know if something is wrong.

RPN is PFN in ppc speak, right?

Interesting arrangement. So are these last level ptes modifieable
from userspace or something? If not, I wonder if you could manage
them as another level of pointers with the existing pagetable
functions?

I don't understand what you mean. Basically, the TLB contains PMD's.
There's nothing to change to the existing page table layout :-) But
because they appear as large page TLB entries that cover the virtual
space covered by a PMD, they need to be invalidated using virtual
addresses when PMDs are removed.

Note for all lurkers: the fails in there are unrelated to the patch
(mostly warnings triggering our new Werror and probably mostly fixed
upstream already).

CC'ing Linus here. How do you want to proceed with that merge ? (IE. so
far nobody objected to the patch itself)

IE. The patch affects all archs, though it's a trivial change every
time, but I'll have stuff in powerpc-next that depends on it, and so I'm
not sure what the right approach is here. Should I put it in the powerpc
tree ?

I also didn't have any formal Ack from anybody, neither mm folks nor
arch maintainers :-)

Cheers,
Ben.

Well the change is trivial, it just adds another unused argument to the
macros. For the records: it still compiles on s390.

Yeah, if you think it helps, Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> is
fine ;)

Unless anybody has other preferences, just send it straight to Linus in
the next merge window -- if any conflicts did come up anyway they would
be trivial. You could just check against linux-next before doing so, and
should see if it is going to cause problems for any arch pull...

Maybe I don't understand your description correctly. The TLB contains
PMDs, but you say the HW still logically performs another translation
step using entries in the PMD pages? If I understand that correctly,
then generic mm does not actually care and would logically fit better
if those entries were "linux ptes". The pte invalidation routines
give the virtual address, which you could use to invalidate the TLB.

Well, the problem is that powerpc-next will need that patch, which means
that if I don't put it in my tree, Steven won't be able to build
powerpc-next as part of linux-next until the patch is merged. Hence my
question, what's the best way to handle that :-) There isn't an mm-next
is there ? If there was, I could tell Steven to always pull powerpc
after mm for example. Or I can put it in a git tree of its own with a
dependency for Steven to pull.

Cheers,
Ben.

They are :-)

For PTEs, yes, but not for those PMD entries. IE. I need the virtual
address when destroying PMDs so that I can invalidate those "indirect"
pages. PTEs are already taken care of by existing mechanisms.

Ben.

Hmm, so even after having invalidated all the pte translations
then you still need to invalidate the empty indirect page? (or
maybe you don't even invalidate the ptes if they're not cached
in a TLB).

I believe x86 is also allowed to cache higher level page tables
in non-cache coherent storage, and I think it just avoids this
issue by flushing the entire TLB when potentially tearing down
upper levels. So in theory I think your patch could allow x86 to
use invlpg more often as well (in practice the flush-all case
and TLB refills are so fast in comparison with invlpg that it
probably doesn't gain much especially when talking about
invalidating upper levels). So making the generic VM more
flexible like that is no problem for me.

No I don't think there is an mm-next. But Steven will hold individual
patches to correct intermediate issues like this, won't he?

The PTEs are cached in the TLB (ie, they turn into normal TLB entries). 

We need to invalidate the indirect entries when the PMD value change
(ie, when the PTE page is freed) or the TLB would potentially continue
loading PTEs from a stale PTE page :-)

Hence my patch adding the virtual address to pte_free_tlb() which is the
freeing of a PTE page. I'm adding it to the pmd/pud variants too for
consistency and because I believe there's no cost.

Ah that's good to know. I don't know that much about the x86 way of
doing these things :-)

Yes I think we're on the same page now. So as I said, the
patch is quite OK with me.

Maybe you can put it as a separate branch in -next, and have it merged 
before the stuff that depends on it, and then just sending it to me (as a 
git branch or patch or whatever) in the first day of the merge window?

Hrm... my powerpc-next branch will contain stuff that depend on it, so
I'll probably have to pull it in though, unless I tell all my
sub-maintainers to also pull from that other branch first :-)

Can you not cherry pick it into powerpc-next to 'pull it through'?

Ok, I'll just apply the patch. It does look obvious enough.

Thanks. It's been in -next for a day now btw, and afaik, there have been
no issue reported.

There seem to be a MIPS and SH breakage as a result but I can't see
how my patch would have broken it, ie, it looks like the bug was
already in those two archs. The error is that it complains about a
duplicate definition of __pmd_free_tlb() between those arch pgalloc.h
and pgtable-nopmd.h

For MIPS, when CONFIG_32BIT is set, asm/pgalloc.h redefines
__pmd_free_tlb despite the fact that it's already defined by
asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h (via via pgtable.h via linux/mm.h).

I -suspect- what happens is that the compiler, before, would ignore the
double definition (or maybe just warn) due to the definition being
strictly identical. With the new argument added, it's no longer the case
as it's called "a" in asm-generic and "addr" in mips... oops.

In any case, can Ralf and Paul check if the following patch is correct ?

Yup, that seems to be what happened. I've never seen a warning about this
with any compiler version, otherwise we would have caught this much
earlier. As soon as the addr -> a rename took place it blew up
immediately as a redefinition. Is there a magical gcc flag we can turn on
to warn on identical definitions, even if just for testing?

No, this is actually defined C behavior - identical macro redefinitions 
are ok. That's very much on purpose, and allows different header files to 
use an identical #define to define some common macro.

Strictly speaking, this is a "safety feature", in that you obviously 
_could_ just always do a #undef+#define, but such a case would be able to 
redefine a macro even if the new definition didn't match the old one. So 
the C pre-processor rules is that you can safely re-define something if 
you re-define it identically.

Of course, we could make the rules for the kernel be stricter, but I don't 
know if there are any flags to warn about it, since it's such a standard C 
feature: the lack of warning is _not_ an accident.

It would be trivial to teach sparse to warn about it, of course. Look at 
sparse/pre-process.c, function do_handle_define(). Notice how it literally 
checks that any previous #define is identical in both expansion and 
argument list, with:

		if (token_list_different(sym->expansion, expansion) ||
		    token_list_different(sym->arglist, arglist)) {

and just make token_list_different() always return true (this is the only 
use of that function).

I haven't checked if such a change would actually result in a lot of 
warnings.
