I recently stumbled upon a problem in the support for huge pages. If a
program using huge pages does not explicitly unmap them, they remain
mapped (and therefore, are lost) after the program exits.
I observed that the free huge page count in /proc/meminfo decreased when
running my program, and it did not increase after the program exited.
After running the program a few times, no more huge pages could be
allocated.
The reason for this seems to be that the x86 pmd_bad and pud_bad
consider pmd/pud entries having the PSE bit set invalid. I think there
is nothing wrong with this bit being set, it just indicates that the
lowest level of translation has been reached. This bit has to be (and
is) checked after the basic validity of the entry has been checked, like
in this fragment from follow_page() in mm/memory.c:
if (pmd_none(*pmd) || unlikely(pmd_bad(*pmd)))
goto no_page_table;
if (pmd_huge(*pmd)) {
BUG_ON(flags & FOLL_GET);
page = follow_huge_pmd(mm, address, pmd, flags & FOLL_WRITE);
goto out;
}
Note that this code currently doesn't work as intended if the pmd refers
to a huge page, the pmd_huge() check can not be reached if the page is
huge.
Extending pmd_bad() (and, for future 1GB page support, pud_bad()) to
allow for the PSE bit being set fixes this. For similar reasons,
allowing the NX bit being set is necessary, too. I have seen huge pages
having the NX bit set in their pmd entry, which would cause the same
problem.

Fix a kernel bug (vmware boot problem) reported by Tomasz Grobelny,
which occurs with certain .config variants and gccs.
The x86 TLS cleanup in commit efd1ca52d0
made the sys_set_thread_area and sys_get_thread_area functions ripe for
tail call optimization. If the compiler chooses to use it for them, it
can clobber the user trap frame because these are asmlinkage functions.

the "ikeep" option is set rather than "noikeep".
This regression was introduced in 970451.
With no mount options specified, xfs_parseargs() does the following:
int ikeep = 0;
args->flags |= XFSMNT_BARRIER;
args->flags2 |= XFSMNT2_COMPAT_IOSIZE;
if (!options)
goto done;
It only sets the above two options by default and before, it also used to
set XFSMNT_IDELETE by default.
If options are specified, then
if (!(args->flags & XFSMNT_DMAPI) && !ikeep)
args->flags |= XFSMNT_IDELETE;
is executed later on which is skipped by the "goto done;" above.
The solution is to invert the logic.

There is a potential race between flushes of the entire SLB in the MFC
and the point where new entries are being established. The problem is
that we might put a ESID entry into the MFC SLB when the VSID entry has
just been cleared by the global flush.
This can be circumvented by holding the register_lock throughout both
the flushing and the creation of SLB entries.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>
When we replace an SLB entry in the MFC after using up all the available
entries, there is a short window in which an incorrect entry is marked
as valid.
The problem is that the 'valid' bit is stored in the ESID, which is
always written after the VSID. Overwriting the VSID first will make the
original ESID entry point to the new VSID, which means that any
concurrent DMA accessing the old ESID ends up being redirected to the
new virtual address. A few cycles later, we write the new ESID and
everything is fine again.
That race can be closed by writing a zero entry to the ESID first, which
makes sure that the VSID is not accessed until we write the new ESID.
Note that we don't actually need to invalidate the SLB entry using the
invalidation register, which would also flush any ERAT entries for that
segment, because the segment translation does not become invalid but is
only removed from the SLB cache.

There is a small race between the context save procedure
and the SPU interrupt handling, where we expect all interrupt
processing to have finished after disabling them, while
an interrupt is still being processed on another CPU.
The obvious fix is to call synchronize_irq() after disabling
the interrupts at the start of the context save procedure
to make sure we never access the SPU any more during an
ongoing save or even after that.
Thanks to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for pointing this out.

Currently, we get the following output from sputrace:
[5.097935954] 1606: spufs_ps_nopfn__enter (thread = 1605, spu = -1)
[5.097958164] 1606: spufs_ps_nopfn__insert (thread = 1605, spu = 15)
[5.097973529] 1607: spufs_ps_nopfn__enter (thread = 1605, spu = -1)
[5.097989174] 1607: spufs_ps_nopfn__insert (thread = 1605, spu = 14)
Which leads me to believe that 160[67] is the current thread ID, and
1605 is the context backing the psmap.
However, the 'current' and 'owner' tids are reversed - the 'current'
tid is on the right. This change puts the current thread ID in the
left-hand column instead, and renames the right to 'ctxthread'.
