mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP option

2020-06-04T03:09:43Z

CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node mapping in memblock and those that don't. Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and therefore the compile time configuration option is not required. The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes. Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the entire compatibility layer can be dropped. To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.

Documentation/features: Refresh the arch support status files

2020-05-25T16:17:11Z

I was manually editing the arch-support.txt for eBPF-JIT, when I realized the refresh script [1] has not been run for a while. Let's fix that, so that the entries are more up-to-date.

MIPS: Enable IOREMAP_PROT config option for MIPS cpus

2018-11-05T18:15:28Z

Allows the users of ptrace to access memory mapped by the ptraced process using the same cache coherency attributes as the original process. For example while using gdb with ioremap_prot() incorporated, both gdb and the process being traced will have same cache coherency attributes.

mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL

2018-06-08T00:34:35Z

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture header files. Most of the time, it is defined in arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per architecture static definition. This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL. Here notes for some architecture where the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious: arm __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE. powerpc __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files: - arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h - arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is included in all the other cases. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time. sparc: __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) && defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64. So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64 There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

Revert "Documentation/features/vm: Remove arch support status file for 'pte_special'"

2018-05-10T21:42:22Z

The removal of this file appears to have been premature; it's not a feature enabled by Kconfig, but it's a arch-level feature regardless. Put it back for now until some happy future time when we decide how we really want to document such features. This reverts commit 2bef69a385b4c1c01d8abae0aa035f0ffa051f07.

Documentation: arch-support: remove obsolete architectures

2018-03-26T13:56:10Z

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped, so we no longer want to track the respective features. We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does the same edits for all the others.
