[PATCH 3/7] powerpc: Free up four 64K PTE bits in 4K backed HPTE pages

Ram Pai linuxram at us.ibm.com
Sat Sep 9 08:44:43 AEST 2017


Rearrange 64K PTE bits to  free  up  bits 3, 4, 5  and  6,
in the 4K backed HPTE pages.These bits continue to be used
for 64K backed HPTE pages in this patch, but will be freed
up in the next patch. The  bit  numbers are big-endian  as
defined in the ISA3.0

The patch does the following change to the 4k htpe backed
64K PTE's format.

H_PAGE_BUSY moves from bit 3 to bit 9 (B bit in the figure
		below)
V0 which occupied bit 4 is not used anymore.
V1 which occupied bit 5 is not used anymore.
V2 which occupied bit 6 is not used anymore.
V3 which occupied bit 7 is not used anymore.

Before the patch, the 4k backed 64k PTE format was as follows

 0 1 2 3 4  5  6  7  8 9 10...........................63
 : : : : :  :  :  :  : : :                            :
 v v v v v  v  v  v  v v v                            v

,-,-,-,-,--,--,--,--,-,-,-,-,-,------------------,-,-,-,
|x|x|x|B|V0|V1|V2|V3|x| | |x|x|................|x|x|x|x| <- primary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'_'________________'_'_'_'_'
|S|G|I|X|S |G |I |X |S|G|I|X|..................|S|G|I|X| <- secondary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'__________________'_'_'_'_'

After the patch, the 4k backed 64k PTE format is as follows

 0 1 2 3 4  5  6  7  8 9 10...........................63
 : : : : :  :  :  :  : : :                            :
 v v v v v  v  v  v  v v v                            v

,-,-,-,-,--,--,--,--,-,-,-,-,-,------------------,-,-,-,
|x|x|x| |  |  |  |  |x|B| |x|x|................|.|.|.|.| <- primary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'_'________________'_'_'_'_'
|S|G|I|X|S |G |I |X |S|G|I|X|..................|S|G|I|X| <- secondary pte
'_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'__________________'_'_'_'_'

the four  bits S,G,I,X (one quadruplet per 4k HPTE) that
cache  the  hash-bucket  slot  value, is initialized  to
1,1,1,1 indicating -- an invalid slot.   If  a HPTE gets
cached in a 1111  slot(i.e 7th  slot  of  secondary hash
bucket), it is  released  immediately. In  other  words,
even  though 1111   is   a valid slot  value in the hash
bucket, we consider it invalid and  release the slot and
the HPTE.  This  gives  us  the opportunity to determine
the validity of S,G,I,X  bits  based on its contents and
not on any of the bits V0,V1,V2 or V3 in the primary PTE

When   we  release  a    HPTE    cached in the 1111 slot
we also    release  a  legitimate   slot  in the primary
hash bucket  and  unmap  its  corresponding  HPTE.  This
is  to  ensure   that  we do get a HPTE cached in a slot
of the primary hash bucket, the next time we retry.

Though  treating  1111  slot  as  invalid,  reduces  the
number of  available  slots  in the hash bucket and  may
have  an  effect   on the performance, the probabilty of
hitting a 1111 slot is extermely low.

Compared  to  the   current    scheme,  the above scheme
reduces  the   number  of   false   hash  table  updates
significantly and  has the  added advantage of releasing
four  valuable  PTE bits for other purpose.

NOTE:even though bits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are  not  used  when
the  64K  PTE is backed by 4k HPTE,  they continue to be
used  if  the  PTE  gets  backed  by 64k HPTE.  The next
patch will decouple that aswell, and truely  release the
bits.

This idea was jointly developed by Paul Mackerras,
Aneesh, Michael Ellermen and myself.

4K PTE format remains unchanged currently.

The patch does the following code changes
a) PTE flags are split between 64k and 4k  header files.
b) __hash_page_4K()  is  reimplemented   to reflect the
   above logic.
