      powerpc: shifted-by-one hidx value · 7b84947c
      Ram Pai authored 
      0xf is considered invalid hidx value. It indicates absence of a backing
HPTE. A PTE is initialized to 0xf either
a) when it is new it is newly allocated to hold 4k-backing-HPTE
	or
b) Any time it gets demoted to a 4k-backing-HPTE

This patch shifts the representation by one-modulo-0xf; i.e hidx 0 is
represented as 1, 1 as 2,... , and 0xf as 0. This convention lets us
initialize the secondary-part of the PTE to all zeroes. PTEs are anyway
zero'd when allocated. We do not have to zero them again; thus saving on
the initialization.

      powerpc: Free up four 64K PTE bits in 64K backed HPTE pages · bf9a95f9
      Ram Pai authored 
      Rearrange 64K PTE bits to free up bits 3, 4, 5 and 6
in the 64K backed HPTE pages. This along with the earlier
patch will entirely free up the four bits from 64K PTE.
The bit numbers are big-endian as defined in the ISA3.0

This patch does the following change to 64K PTE backed
by 64K HPTE.

H_PAGE_F_SECOND (S) which occupied bit 4 moves to the
	second part of the pte to bit 60.
H_PAGE_F_GIX (G,I,X) which occupied bit 5, 6 and 7 also
	moves to the second part of the pte to bit 61,
 	62, 63, 64 respectively

since bit 7 is now freed up, we move H_PAGE_BUSY (B) from
bit 9 to bit 7.

The second part of the PTE will hold
(H_PAGE_F_SECOND|H_PAGE_F_GIX) at bit 60,61,62,63.
NOTE: None of the bits in the secondary PTE were not used
by 64k-HPTE backed PTE.

Before the patch, the 64K HPTE backed 64k PTE format was
as follows

 0 1 2 3 4  5  6  7  8 9 10...........................63
 : : : : :  :  :  :  : : :                            :
 v v v v v  v  v  v  v v v                            v

,-,-,-,-,--,--,--,--,-,-,-,-,-,------------------,-,-,-,
|x|x|x| |S |G |I |X |x|B| |x|x|................|x|x|x|x| <- primary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'_'________________'_'_'_'_'
| | | | |  |  |  |  | | | | |..................| | | | | <- secondary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'__________________'_'_'_'_'

After the patch, the 64k HPTE backed 64k PTE format is
as follows

 0 1 2 3 4  5  6  7  8 9 10...........................63
 : : : : :  :  :  :  : : :                            :
 v v v v v  v  v  v  v v v                            v

,-,-,-,-,--,--,--,--,-,-,-,-,-,------------------,-,-,-,
|x|x|x| |  |  |  |B |x| | |x|x|................|.|.|.|.| <- primary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'_'________________'_'_'_'_'
| | | | |  |  |  |  | | | | |..................|S|G|I|X| <- secondary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'__________________'_'_'_'_'

The above PTE changes is applicable to hugetlbpages aswell.

The patch does the following code changes:

a) moves the H_PAGE_F_SECOND and H_PAGE_F_GIX to 4k PTE
	header since it is no more needed b the 64k PTEs.
b) abstracts out __real_pte() and __rpte_to_hidx() so the
	caller need not know the bit location of the slot.
c) moves the slot bits to the secondary pte.

      powerpc: Free up four 64K PTE bits in 4K backed HPTE pages · 9d2edb18
      Ram Pai authored 
      Rearrange 64K PTE bits to free up bits 3, 4, 5 and 6,
in the 4K backed HPTE pages.These bits continue to be used
for 64K backed HPTE pages in this patch, but will be freed
up in the next patch. The bit numbers are big-endian as
defined in the ISA3.0

The patch does the following change to the 4k HTPE backed
64K PTE's format.

H_PAGE_BUSY moves from bit 3 to bit 9 (B bit in the figure
		below)
V0 which occupied bit 4 is not used anymore.
V1 which occupied bit 5 is not used anymore.
V2 which occupied bit 6 is not used anymore.
V3 which occupied bit 7 is not used anymore.

Before the patch, the 4k backed 64k PTE format was as follows

 0 1 2 3 4  5  6  7  8 9 10...........................63
 : : : : :  :  :  :  : : :                            :

After the patch, the 4k backed 64k PTE format is as follows

 0 1 2 3 4  5  6  7  8 9 10...........................63
 : : : : :  :  :  :  : : :                            :

|S|G|I|X|S |G |I |X |S|G|I|X|..................|S|G|I|X| <- secondary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'__________________'_'_'_'_'

the four bits S,G,I,X (one quadruplet per 4k HPTE) that
cache the hash-bucket slot value, is initialized to
1,1,1,1 indicating -- an invalid slot. If a HPTE gets
cached in a 1111 slot(i.e 7th slot of secondary hash
bucket), it is released immediately. In other words,
even though 1111 is a valid slot value in the hash
bucket, we consider it invalid and release the slot and
the HPTE. This gives us the opportunity to determine
the validity of S,G,I,X bits based on its contents and
not on any of the bits V0,V1,V2 or V3 in the primary PTE

When we release a HPTE cached in the 1111 slot
we also release a legitimate slot in the primary
hash bucket and unmap its corresponding HPTE. This
is to ensure that we do get a HPTE cached in a slot
of the primary hash bucket, the next time we retry.

Though treating 1111 slot as invalid, reduces the
number of available slots in the hash bucket and may
have an effect on the performance, the probabilty of
hitting a 1111 slot is extermely low.

Compared to the current scheme, the above scheme
reduces the number of false hash table updates
significantly and has the added advantage of releasing
four valuable PTE bits for other purpose.

NOTE:even though bits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are not used when
the 64K PTE is backed by 4k HPTE, they continue to be
used if the PTE gets backed by 64k HPTE. The next
patch will decouple that aswell, and truely release the
bits.

This idea was jointly developed by Paul Mackerras,
Aneesh, Michael Ellermen and myself.

4K PTE format remains unchanged currently.

The patch does the following code changes
a) PTE flags are split between 64k and 4k header files.
b) __hash_page_4K() is reimplemented to reflect the
 above logic.

      Introduce pte_get_hash_gslot()() which returns the global slot number of
the HPTE in the global hash table.

This function will come in handy as we work towards re-arranging the PTE
bits in the later patches.

      powerpc: introduce pte_set_hidx() helper · 59aa31fd
      Ram Pai authored 
      Introduce pte_set_hidx().It sets the (H_PAGE_F_SECOND|H_PAGE_F_GIX) bits
at the appropriate location in the PTE of 4K PTE. For 64K PTE, it sets
the bits in the second part of the PTE. Though the implementation for
the former just needs the slot parameter, it does take some additional
parameters to keep the prototype consistent.

This function will be handy as we work towards re-arranging the bits in
the subsequent patches.

Pull RISC-V cleanups and ABI fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains a handful of small cleanups that are a result of
  feedback that didn't make it into our original patch set, either
  because the feedback hadn't been given yet, I missed the original
  emails, or we weren't ready to submit the changes yet.

  I've been maintaining the various cleanup patch sets I have as their
  own branches, which I then merged together and signed. Each merge
  commit has a short summary of the changes, and each branch is based on
  your latest tag (4.15-rc1, in this case). If this isn't the right way
  to do this then feel free to suggest something else, but it seems sane
  to me.

  Here's a short summary of the changes, roughly in order of how
  interesting they are.

   - libgcc.h has been moved from include/lib, where it's the only
     member, to include/linux. This is meant to avoid tab completion
     conflicts.

   - VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu have been added.
     These are simple syscalls now, but we want to let glibc use them
     from the start so we can make them faster later.

   - A VDSO entry for instruction cache flushing has been added so
     userspace can flush the instruction cache.

   - The VDSO symbol versions for __vdso_cmpxchg{32,64} have been
     removed, as those VDSO entries don't actually exist.

   - __io_writes has been corrected to respect the given type.

   - A new READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked().

   - __test_and_op_bit_ord() is now actually ordered.

   - Various small fixes throughout the tree to enable allmodconfig to
     build cleanly.

   - Removal of some dead code in our atomic support headers.

   - Improvements to various comments in our atomic support headers"
