For simplification of implementation with 256KB pages we still assume 2-level paging. As a side effect this leads to wasting extra memory space reserved for PTE tables: only 1/4 of pages allocated for PTEs are actually used. But this may be an acceptable trade-off to achieve the high performance we have with big PAGE_SIZEs in some applications (e.g. RAID). Also with 256KB PAGE_SIZE we increase THREAD_SIZE up to 32KB to minimize the risk of stack overflows in the cases of on-stack arrays, which size depends on the page size (e.g. multipage BIOs, NTFS, etc.). With 256KB PAGE_SIZE we need to decrease the PKMAP_ORDER at least down to 9, otherwise all high memory (2 ^ 10 * PAGE_SIZE == 256MB) we'll be occupied by PKMAP addresses leaving no place for vmalloc. We do not separate PKMAP_ORDER for 256K from 16K/64K PAGE_SIZE here; actually that value of 10 in support for 16K/64K had been selected rather intuitively. Thus now for all cases of PAGE_SIZE on ppc44x (including the default, 4KB, one) we have 512 pages for PKMAP. Because ELF standard supports only page sizes up to 64K, then you should use binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with '-zmax-page-size' set to 256K for building applications, which are to be run with the 256KB-page sized kernel. If using the older binutils, then you should patch them like follows: --- binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c.orig +++ binutils/bfd/elf32-ppc.c -#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x10000 +#define ELF_MAXPAGESIZE 0x40000 One more restriction we currently have with 256KB page sizes is inability to use shmem safely, so, for now, the 256KB is available only if you turn the CONFIG_SHMEM option off. Though, if you need shmem with 256KB pages, you can always remove the !SHMEM dependency in 'config PPC_256K_PAGES', and use the workaround available here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/19/20 Signed-off-by: Yuri Tikhonov Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok --- arch/powerpc/Kconfig | 15 +++++++++++++++ arch/powerpc/include/asm/highmem.h | 10 +++++----- arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu-44x.h | 2 ++ arch/powerpc/include/asm/page.h | 6 ++++-- arch/powerpc/include/asm/page_32.h | 4 ++++ arch/powerpc/include/asm/thread_info.h | 4 +++- arch/powerpc/kernel/head_booke.h | 11 ++++++++++- arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/Kconfig | 12 ++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig index 84b8613..18f33ef 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/Kconfig +++ b/arch/powerpc/Kconfig @@ -443,6 +443,19 @@ config PPC_64K_PAGES bool "64k page size" if 44x || PPC_STD_MMU_64 select PPC_HAS_HASH_64K if PPC_STD_MMU_64 +config PPC_256K_PAGES + bool "256k page size" if 44x + depends on !STDBINUTILS && !SHMEM + help + Make the page size 256k. + + As the ELF standard only requires alignment to support page + sizes up to 64k, you will need to compile all of your user + space applications with a non-standard binutils settings + (see the STDBINUTILS description for details). + + Say N unless you know what you are doing. + endchoice config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER @@ -455,6 +468,8 @@ config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER default "9" if PPC_STD_MMU_32 && PPC_16K_PAGES range 7 64 if PPC_STD_MMU_32 && PPC_64K_PAGES default "7" if PPC_STD_MMU_32 && PPC_64K_PAGES + range 5 64 if PPC_STD_MMU_32 && PPC_256K_PAGES + default "5" if PPC_STD_MMU_32 && PPC_256K_PAGES range 11 64 default "11" help diff --git a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/highmem.h b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/highmem.h index 04e4a62..a290759 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/highmem.h +++ b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/highmem.h @@ -39,15 +39,15 @@ extern pte_t *pkmap_page_table; * chunk of RAM. */ /* - * We use one full pte table with 4K pages.
