2019-02-21	RISC-V: Move setup_bootmem() to mm/init.c	Anup Patel	1	-0/+1
	The setup_bootmem() mainly populates memblocks and does early memory reservations. The right location for this function is mm/init.c. It calls setup_initrd() so we move that as well.

2019-02-11	riscv: Add pte bit to distinguish swap from invalid	Stefan O'Rear	1	-4/+4
	Previously, invalid PTEs and swap PTEs had the same binary representation, causing errors when attempting to unmap PROT_NONE mappings, including implicit unmap on exit. Typical error: swap_info_get: Bad swap file entry 40000000007a9879 BUG: Bad page map in process a.out pte:3d4c3cc0 pmd:3e521401 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stefan O'Rear <sorear2@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>
2018-01-07	riscv: remove CONFIG_MMU ifdefs	Christoph Hellwig	1	-4/+0
	The RISC-V port doesn't suport a nommu mode, so there is no reason to provide some code only under a CONFIG_MMU ifdef. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>
2017-11-30	RISC-V: Flush I$ when making a dirty page executable	Andrew Waterman	1	-26/+32
	The RISC-V ISA allows for instruction caches that are not coherent WRT stores, even on a single hart. As a result, we need to explicitly flush the instruction cache whenever marking a dirty page as executable in order to preserve the correct system behavior. Local instruction caches aren't that scary (our implementations actually flush the cache, but RISC-V is defined to allow higher-performance implementations to exist), but RISC-V defines no way to perform an instruction cache shootdown. When explicitly asked to do so we can shoot down remote instruction caches via an IPI, but this is a bit on the slow side. Instead of requiring an IPI to all harts whenever marking a page as executable, we simply flush the currently running harts. In order to maintain correct behavior, we additionally mark every other hart as needing a deferred instruction cache which will be taken before anything runs on it.

2017-09-26	RISC-V: Paging and MMU	Palmer Dabbelt	1	-0/+430
	This patch contains code to manage the RISC-V MMU, including definitions of the page tables and the page walking code. Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@dabbelt.com>
