[BUGFIX][PATCH] flush icache before set_pte() in ia64 take7, [2/2] sync icache dcache

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



flush icache for ia64 take7.

Changes V6 -> V7:
  - adjusted against 2.6.23-rc2

Changes V5 -> V6:
  - no changes. (added new patches to the patch set)

Changes V4 -> V5:
  - removed sync_icache_dcache from do_wp_page() page reuse case.

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - avoid implementing flush_(i)cache_pages().
  - added sync_icache_dcache() call.
  - change Documentation/cachetlb.txt

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte(). This is wrong. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
add sync_icache_dcache(). sync_icache_dcache() is called before set_pte()
if necessary and synchronize icache with dcache (fc.i instruction).

This patch fixes SIGILL problem on NFS/ia64.

About Icache-Dcache inconsistency in ia64
 - When the cache line is modified, Icache and Dcache are purged.

 - When I-cache misses, I-cache will access just the lower layer cache(memory).
   Then, If the lower_layer_cache is not up-to-date, I-cache will see
   old information. For avoiding this case, Icache-Dcache synchronization(fc.i)
   is necessary. (Icache-Dcache synchronization means making Dcache and lower
   layer unified cache(memory) consistent.)

Details:
 - In general, cache flushing macro are used for virtually tagged caches.
   IA64 has physically tagged caches but doesn't guarantee consistency 
   between Icache and Dcache. So, new macro, sync_icache_dcache() is added.
   This is NO-OP in other archs.
 - sync_icache_dcache() only works if pte is executable.
 - sync_icache_dcache must be called before set_pte().
 - A page which is consistent is marked as PG_arch_1.

About changes in generic codes:
 - do_wp_page() ....need to sync newly copied page.
	            Here, lazy_mmu_prot_update() was done before set_pte().
                    This was because SIGILL in JAVA was reported and quick
		    fix was applied.

 - do_anonymous_page() .... newly installed anon pages doesn't contains any
                    instruction when set_pte() is executed, icache-dcache
		    synchronization is not necessary.

 - __do_fault() .... need to sync newly-installed page.

 - handle_pte_fault() .... just changes access bit...then, no need to sync.

 - remove_migration_pte().... need to sync newly-installed page.

 
 - change_pte_range() .... need to sync icache-dcache. When a user writes
		     instruction into the page and modifies protection to be	
		     executable, it should be synced.

 - hugetlb_change_protection() .... Maybe cache will be expired...but
	                  it is safe to sync Icache before set_pte().

 - page_mkclean_one() .... no need to sync icache-dcache. There is no page
                           contents modification. And there is no protection 
			   change.

Thanks to Zoltan Menyhart for his advices.
