2009-08-28	powerpc/mm: Add MMU features for TLB reservation & Paired MAS registers	Kumar Gala	1	-1/+37
	Support for TLB reservation (or TLB Write Conditional) and Paired MAS registers are optional for a processor implementation so we handle them via MMU feature sections. We currently only used paired MAS registers to access the full RPN + perm bits that are kept in MAS7\|\|MAS3. We assume that if an implementation has hardware page table at this time it also implements in TLB reservations.

2009-08-27	powerpc/mm: Cleanup handling of execute permission	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	1	-2/+2
	This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of #ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that hopefully should cover everything. The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than it already was in that area due to that change. I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page execute permissions...

2009-08-20	powerpc: Add TLB management code for 64-bit Book3E	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	1	-0/+734
	This adds the TLB miss handler assembly, the low level TLB flush routines along with the necessary hook for dealing with our virtual page tables or indirect TLB entries that need to be flushes when PTE pages are freed. There is currently no support for hugetlbfs Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
