#ifdef CONFIG_MMU
+/* + * Generic MMU-gather implementation. + * + * The mmu_gather data structure is used by the mm code to implement the + * correct and efficient ordering of freeing pages and TLB invalidations. + * + * This correct ordering is: + * + * 1) unhook page + * 2) TLB invalidate page + * 3) free page + * + * That is, we must never free a page before we have ensured there are no live + * translations left to it. Otherwise it might be possible to observe (or + * worse, change) the page content after it has been reused. + * + * The mmu_gather API consists of: + * + * - tlb_gather_mmu() / tlb_finish_mmu(); start and finish a mmu_gather + * + * Finish in particular will issue a (final) TLB invalidate and free + * all (remaining) queued pages. + * + * - tlb_start_vma() / tlb_end_vma(); marks the start / end of a VMA + * + * Defaults to flushing at tlb_end_vma() to reset the range; helps when + * there's large holes between the VMAs. + * + * - tlb_remove_page() / __tlb_remove_page() + * - tlb_remove_page_size() / __tlb_remove_page_size() + * + * __tlb_remove_page_size() is the basic primitive that queues a page for + * freeing. __tlb_remove_page() assumes PAGE_SIZE. Both will return a + * boolean indicating if the queue is (now) full and a call to + * tlb_flush_mmu() is required. + * + * tlb_remove_page() and tlb_remove_page_size() imply the call to + * tlb_flush_mmu() when required and has no return value. + * + * - tlb_remove_check_page_size_change() + * + * call before __tlb_remove_page*() to set the current page-size; implies a + * possible tlb_flush_mmu() call. + * + * - tlb_flush_mmu() / tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() / tlb_flush_mmu_free() + * + * tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() - does the TLB invalidate (and resets + * related state, like the range) + * + * tlb_flush_mmu_free() - frees the queued pages; make absolutely + * sure no additional tlb_remove_page() + * calls happen between _tlbonly() and this. + * + * tlb_flush_mmu() - the above two calls. + * + * - mmu_gather::fullmm + * + * A flag set by tlb_gather_mmu() to indicate we're going to free + * the entire mm; this allows a number of optimizations. + * + * - We can ignore tlb_{start,end}_vma(); because we don't + * care about ranges. Everything will be shot down. + * + * - (RISC) architectures that use ASIDs can cycle to a new ASID + * and delay the invalidation until ASID space runs out. + * + * - mmu_gather::need_flush_all + * + * A flag that can be set by the arch code if it wants to force + * flush the entire TLB irrespective of the range. For instance + * x86-PAE needs this when changing top-level entries. + * + * And requires the architecture to provide and implement tlb_flush(). + * + * tlb_flush() may, in addition to the above mentioned mmu_gather fields, make + * use of: + * + * - mmu_gather::start / mmu_gather::end + * + * which provides the range that needs to be flushed to cover the pages to + * be freed. + * + * - mmu_gather::freed_tables + * + * set when we freed page table pages + * + * - tlb_get_unmap_shift() / tlb_get_unmap_size() + * + * returns the smallest TLB entry size unmapped in this range + * + * Additionally there are a few opt-in features: + * + * HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE + * + * This provides tlb_remove_table(), to be used instead of tlb_remove_page() + * for page directores (__p*_free_tlb()). This provides separate freeing of + * the page-table pages themselves in a semi-RCU fashion (see comment below). + * Useful if your architecture doesn't use IPIs for remote TLB invalidates + * and therefore doesn't naturally serialize with software page-table walkers. + * + * When used, an architecture is expected to provide __tlb_remove_table() + * which does the actual freeing of these pages. + * + * HAVE_RCU_TABLE_INVALIDATE + * + * This makes HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE call tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() before freeing + * the page-table pages. Required if you use HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE and your + * architecture uses the Linux page-tables natively. + * + */ +#define HAVE_GENERIC_MMU_GATHER + #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE /* * Semi RCU freeing of the page directories. @@ -89,14 +201,17 @@ struct mmu_gather_batch { */ #define MAX_GATHER_BATCH_COUNT (10000UL/MAX_GATHER_BATCH)
