mm: mmu_gather: use tlb->end != 0 only for TLB invalidation

2015-01-13T02:20:40Z

When batching up address ranges for TLB invalidation, we check tlb->end != 0 to indicate that some pages have actually been unmapped. As of commit f045bbb9fa1b ("mmu_gather: fix over-eager tlb_flush_mmu_free() calling"), we use the same check for freeing these pages in order to avoid a performance regression where we call free_pages_and_swap_cache even when no pages are actually queued up. Unfortunately, the range could have been reset (tlb->end = 0) by tlb_end_vma, which has been shown to cause memory leaks on arm64. Furthermore, investigation into these leaks revealed that the fullmm case on task exit no longer invalidates the TLB, by virtue of tlb->end == 0 (in 3.18, need_flush would have been set). This patch resolves the problem by reverting commit f045bbb9fa1b, using instead tlb->local.nr as the predicate for page freeing in tlb_flush_mmu_free and ensuring that tlb->end is initialised to a non-zero value in the fullmm case.

Pull ARM SoC/iommu configuration update from Arnd Bergmann: "The iomm-config branch contains work from Will Deacon, quoting his description: This series adds automatic IOMMU and DMA-mapping configuration for OF-based DMA masters described using the generic IOMMU devicetree bindings. Although there is plenty of future work around splitting up iommu_ops, adding default IOMMU domains and sorting out automatic IOMMU group creation for the platform_bus, this is already useful enough for people to port over their IOMMU drivers and start using the new probing infrastructure (indeed, Marek has patches queued for the Exynos IOMMU). The branch touches core ARM and IOMMU driver files, and the respective maintainers (Russell King and Joerg Roedel) agreed to have the contents merged through the arm-soc tree. The final version was ready just before the merge window, so we ended up delaying it a bit longer than the rest, but we don't expect to see regressions because this is just additional infrastructure that will get used in drivers starting in 3.20 but is unused so far" * tag 'iommu-config-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: iommu: store DT-probed IOMMU data privately arm: dma-mapping: plumb our iommu mapping ops into arch_setup_dma_ops arm: call iommu_init before of_platform_populate dma-mapping: detect and configure IOMMU in of_dma_configure iommu: fix initialization without 'add_device' callback iommu: provide helper function to configure an IOMMU for an of master iommu: add new iommu_ops callback for adding an OF device dma-mapping: replace set_arch_dma_coherent_ops with arch_setup_dma_ops iommu: provide early initialisation hook for IOMMU drivers

arch: Add lightweight memory barriers dma_rmb() and dma_wmb()

2014-12-12T02:15:06Z

There are a number of situations where the mandatory barriers rmb() and wmb() are used to order memory/memory operations in the device drivers and those barriers are much heavier than they actually need to be. For example in the case of PowerPC wmb() calls the heavy-weight sync instruction when for coherent memory operations all that is really needed is an lsync or eieio instruction. This commit adds a coherent only version of the mandatory memory barriers rmb() and wmb(). In most cases this should result in the barrier being the same as the SMP barriers for the SMP case, however in some cases we use a barrier that is somewhere in between rmb() and smp_rmb(). For example on ARM the rmb barriers break down as follows: Barrier Call Explanation --------- -------- ---------------------------------- rmb() dsb() Data synchronization barrier - system dma_rmb() dmb(osh) data memory barrier - outer sharable smp_rmb() dmb(ish) data memory barrier - inner sharable These new barriers are not as safe as the standard rmb() and wmb(). Specifically they do not guarantee ordering between coherent and incoherent memories. The primary use case for these would be to enforce ordering of reads and writes when accessing coherent memory that is shared between the CPU and a device. It may also be noted that there is no dma_mb(). Most architectures don't provide a good mechanism for performing a coherent only full barrier without resorting to the same mechanism used in mb(). As such there isn't much to be gained in trying to define such a function.

Pull irq domain updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The real interesting irq updates: - Support for hierarchical irq domains: For complex interrupt routing scenarios where more than one interrupt related chip is involved we had no proper representation in the generic interrupt infrastructure so far. That made people implement rather ugly constructs in their nested irq chip implementations. The main offenders are x86 and arm/gic. To distangle that mess we have now hierarchical irqdomains which seperate the various interrupt chips and connect them via the hierarchical domains. That keeps the domain specific details internal to the particular hierarchy level and removes the criss/cross referencing of chip internals. The resulting hierarchy for a complex x86 system will look like this: vector mapped: 74 msi-0 mapped: 2 dmar-ir-1 mapped: 69 ioapic-1 mapped: 4 ioapic-0 mapped: 20 pci-msi-2 mapped: 45 dmar-ir-0 mapped: 3 ioapic-2 mapped: 1 pci-msi-1 mapped: 2 htirq mapped: 0 Neither ioapic nor pci-msi know about the dmar interrupt remapping between themself and the vector domain. If interrupt remapping is disabled ioapic and pci-msi become direct childs of the vector domain. In hindsight we should have done that years ago, but in hindsight we always know better :) - Support for generic MSI interrupt domain handling We have more and more non PCI related MSI interrupts, so providing a generic infrastructure for this is better than having all affected architectures implementing their own private hacks. - Support for PCI-MSI interrupt domain handling, based on the generic MSI support. This part carries the pci/msi branch from Bjorn Helgaas pci tree to avoid a massive conflict. The PCI/MSI parts are acked by Bjorn. I have two more branches on top of this.
