      powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB · f4ea6dcb

      Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's
      known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to
      encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB
      addresses and leads to crashes.
      
      To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space
      above 128TB by default.
      
      But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by
      specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB.
      
      If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try
      to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already
      occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than
      from 128TB window.
      
      This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware
      about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual
      address space.
      
      This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with
      larger addresses and other that do not.
      
      A sample memory layout looks like:
      
        10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9057045          /home/max_addr_512TB

        10020000-10030000 rw-p 00010000 fc:00 9057045          /home/max_addr_512TB

      powerpc/pseries: Skip using reserved virtual address range · 82228e36
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      
      
      Now that we use all the available virtual address range, we need to make
      sure we don't generate VSID such that it overlaps with the reserved vsid
      range. Reserved vsid range include the virtual address range used by the
      adjunct partition and also the VRMA virtual segment. We find the context
      value that can result in generating such a VSID and reserve it early in
      boot.
      
      We don't look at the adjunct range, because for now we disable the
      adjunct usage in a Linux LPAR via CAS interface.

      powerpc/mm/hash: Store addr_limit in PACA · bb183221
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      
      
      We optmize the slice page size array copy to paca by copying only the
      range based on addr_limit. This will require us to not look at page size
      array beyond addr_limit in PACA on slb fault. To enable that copy task
      size to paca which will be used during slb fault.

      powerpc/mm: Add addr_limit to mm_context and use it to derive max slice index · 957b778a
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      
      
      In the followup patch, we will increase the slice array size to handle
      512TB range, but will limit the max addr to 128TB. Avoid doing
      unnecessary computation and avoid doing slice mask related operation
      above address limit.
