8d30c14cab powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)
This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC.

The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type:

   - Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it
at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages
on exec faults.

   - Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and
64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache().

   - Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on
exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does.

That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache()
is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before
we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but
I think it has bitten us in the past.

Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least
one more page fault.

This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites,
though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call
sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags()
which joins the former in pgtable.c

The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the
flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us
to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation
more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later).

If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit
the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags()
to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make
this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path
is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time.

For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(),
thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache
is clean.

For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism
for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we
use _PAGE_EXEC.

This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms

f048aace29 powerpc/mm: Add SMP support to no-hash TLB handling
This commit moves the whole no-hash TLB handling out of line into a
new tlb_nohash.c file, and implements some basic SMP support using
IPIs and/or broadcast tlbivax instructions.

Note that I'm using local invalidations for D->I cache coherency.

At worst, if another processor is trying to execute the same and
has the old entry in its TLB, it will just take a fault and re-do
the TLB flush locally (it won't re-do the cache flush in any case).

a6326e98a2 powerpc: Correct page-in counter for CMM with 64k pages
Linux will report the number of page-ins so that the hypervisor can
better determine partition memory pressure.  The hardware page size
and the OS page size can be different.  In the case where the hardware
page size is 4k and the OS is running with 64k pages the code in
commit 409001948d ("powerpc: Update
page-in counter for CMM") would under-report the number of pages.

This corrects the reporting to the hypervisor by incrementing the
page_in count by 1 << PAGE_FACTOR each time.

1330deb0f6 CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the PowerPC arch
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id().  In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

1bc54c0311 powerpc: rework 4xx PTE access and TLB miss
This is some preliminary work to improve TLB management on SW loaded
TLB powerpc platforms. This introduce support for non-atomic PTE
operations in pgtable-ppc32.h and removes write back to the PTE from

tries to fixup write permission, this is left to generic code, and
_PAGE_HWWRITE is gone.

e701d269aa [POWERPC] 4xx: Fix 4xx flush_tlb_page()
On 4xx CPUs, the current implementation of flush_tlb_page() uses
a low level _tlbie() assembly function that only works for the
current PID. Thus, invalidations caused by, for example, a COW
fault triggered by get_user_pages() from a different context will
not work properly, causing among other things, gdb breakpoints
to fail.

This patch adds a "pid" argument to _tlbie() on 4xx processors,
and uses it to flush entries in the right context. FSL BookE
also gets the argument but it seems they don't need it (their
tlbivax form ignores the PID when invalidating according to the
document I have).

b460cbc581 pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().

A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.

A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.

Changelog:

	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().

	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:

	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

08ae6cc15d [POWERPC] Allow exec faults on readable areas on classic 32-bit PowerPC
Classic 32-bit PowerPC CPUs, and the early 64-bit PowerPC CPUs, don't
provide a way to prevent execution from readable pages, that is, the
MMU doesn't distinguish between data reads and instruction reads,
although a different exception is taken for faults in data accesses
and instruction accesses.

Commit 9ba4ace39f, in the course of
fixing another bug, added a check that meant that a page fault due
to an instruction access would fail if the vma did not have the
VM_EXEC flag set.  This gives an inconsistent enforcement on these
CPUs of the no-execute status of the vma (since reading from the page
is sufficient to allow subsequent execution from it), and causes old
versions of ppc32 glibc (2.2 and earlier) to fail, since they rely
on executing the word before the GOT but don't have it marked
executable.

This fixes the problem by allowing execution from readable (or writable)
areas on CPUs which do not provide separate control over data and
instruction reads.

9ba4ace39f [POWERPC] PowerPC: Prevent data exception in kernel space (32-bit)
The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault()
didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC.  So if a userland program
jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests
happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in
turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(),
which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights.

Boom.

This fixes it.

effe24bdd4 [POWERPC] During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group
We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.

Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a
bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for
the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very
obvious that something has gone wrong.

This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than
just the one thread.

1eeb66a1bb move die notifier handling to common code
This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)

arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

f400e198b2 [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.

Eric's original description:

	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
	->pid == 1.

	Introduce is_init to capture this case.

	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
	process that has pid == 1.

df67b3daea [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ
Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.

While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach.  For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:

"
        if (cause < 0) {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else if (!cause) {
                /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
                        goto bad_area;
        }
"

Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest.  I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.

Additional discussion:

Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write.  Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.

Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV.  That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c.  However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write.  Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed.  It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address.  Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV.  Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.

According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.

The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations.  This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable.  If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

4f9e87c045 [PATCH] Notify page fault call chain for powerpc
Overloading of page fault notification with the notify_die() has performance
issues(since the only interested components for page fault is kprobes and/or
kdb) and hence this patch introduces the new notifier call chain exclusively
for page fault notifications their by avoiding notifying unnecessary
components in the do_page_fault() code path.

bab70a4af7 [PATCH] lock PTE before updating it in 440/BookE page fault handler
Fix 44x and BookE page fault handler to correctly lock PTE before
trying to pte_update() it, otherwise this PTE might be swapped out
after pte_present() check but before pte_uptdate() call, resulting in
corrupted PTE. This can happen with enabled preemption and low memory
condition.

2ef9481e66 [PATCH] powerpc: trivial: modify comments to refer to new location of files
This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree.  I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

bce6c5fd8c [PATCH] powerpc: DABR exceptions should report the address not the PC
When taking a DABR exception we were reporting the PC. It makes more
sense to report the address that caused the exception, and the gdb guys
would like it that way.

Add nicer printing of faulting address on unresolvable kernel faults.

Makes life a little easier for those who don't know how to decode our

14cf11af6c powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.
This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files.  It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac.  This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.

For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel.  This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.

The boot directory is still not merged.  That's going to be interesting.
