[PATCH v5 19/25] arm64/mm: Wire up PTE_CONT for user mappings
Ryan Roberts

Fri Feb 2 19:07:50 AEDT 2024
With the ptep API sufficiently refactored, we can now introduce a new
"contpte" API layer, which transparently manages the PTE_CONT bit for
user mappings.
In this initial implementation, only suitable batches of PTEs, set via
set_ptes(), are mapped with the PTE_CONT bit. Any subsequent
modification of individual PTEs will cause an "unfold" operation to
repaint the contpte block as individual PTEs before performing the
requested operation. While, a modification of a single PTE could cause
the block of PTEs to which it belongs to become eligible for "folding"
into a contpte entry, "folding" is not performed in this initial
implementation due to the costs of checking the requirements are met.
Due to this, contpte mappings will degrade back to normal pte mappings
over time if/when protections are changed. This will be solved in a
future patch.
Since a contpte block only has a single access and dirty bit, the
semantic here changes slightly; when getting a pte (e.g. ptep_get())
that is part of a contpte mapping, the access and dirty information are
pulled from the block (so all ptes in the block return the same
access/dirty info). When changing the access/dirty info on a pte (e.g.
ptep_set_access_flags()) that is part of a contpte mapping, this change
will affect the whole contpte block. This is works fine in practice
since we guarantee that only a single folio is mapped by a contpte
block, and the core-mm tracks access/dirty information per folio.
In order for the public functions, which used to be pure inline, to
continue to be callable by modules, export all the contpte_* symbols
that are now called by those public inline functions.
The feature is enabled/disabled with the ARM64_CONTPTE Kconfig parameter
at build time. It defaults to enabled as long as its dependency,
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is also enabled. The core-mm depends upon
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE to be able to allocate large folios, so if its not
enabled, then there is no chance of meeting the physical contiguity
requirement for contpte mappings.
