arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page

2026-04-05T20:53:01+00:00

Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of ZERO_PAGE() to 4. Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement colored zero page (MIPS and s390). ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static inline causes severe pain in header dependencies. For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy: * alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only * arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact. * m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock, although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS will work fine. * sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE() but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to empty_zero_page. * sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot. Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic empty_zero_page. * hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page /* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */ that unfortunately had to go :) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260211103141.3215197-4-rppt@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) Acked-by: Helge Deller [parisc] Tested-by: Helge Deller [parisc] Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP) Acked-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Acked-by: Magnus Lindholm [alpha] Acked-by: Dinh Nguyen [nios2] Acked-by: Andreas Larsson [sparc] Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) Acked-by: Liam R.

arm: make initialization of zero page independent of the memory map

2026-01-27T04:02:13+00:00

Unlike most architectures, arm keeps a struct page pointer to the empty_zero_page and to initialize it requires conversion of a virtual address to page which makes it necessary to have memory map initialized before creating the empty_zero_page. Make empty_zero_page a stataic array in BSS to decouple it's initialization from the initialization of the memory map. This also aligns arm with vast majorty of architectures.

mm/memblock: add memblock_alloc_or_panic interface

2025-01-26T04:22:38+00:00

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically, improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require this behavior.

arm: implement the new page table range API

2023-08-24T23:20:20+00:00

Add set_ptes(), update_mmu_cache_range(), flush_dcache_folio() and flush_icache_pages(). Change the PG_dcache_clear flag from being per-page to per-folio which makes __dma_page_dev_to_cpu() a bit more exciting. Also add flush_cache_pages(), even though this isn't used by generic code (yet?)

ARM: 9280/1: mm: fix warning on phys_addr_t to void pointer assignment

2023-01-11T16:20:05+00:00

zero_page is a void* pointer but memblock_alloc() returns phys_addr_t type so this generates a warning while using clang and with -Wint-error enabled that becomes and error. So let's cast the return of memblock_alloc() to (void *).

ARM: 9266/1: mm: fix no-MMU ZERO_PAGE() implementation

2022-11-07T14:16:44+00:00

Actually in no-MMU SoCs(i.e. i.MXRT) ZERO_PAGE(vaddr) expands to ``` virt_to_page(0) ``` that in order expands to: ``` pfn_to_page(virt_to_pfn(0)) ``` and then virt_to_pfn(0) to: ``` ((((unsigned long)(0) - PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT) + PHYS_PFN_OFFSET) ``` where PAGE_OFFSET and PHYS_PFN_OFFSET are the DRAM offset(0x80000000) and PAGE_SHIFT is 12. This way we obtain 16MB(0x01000000) summed to the base of DRAM(0x80000000). When ZERO_PAGE(0) is then used, for example in bio_add_page(), the page gets an address that is out of DRAM bounds. So instead of using fake virtual page 0 let's allocate a dedicated zero_page during paging_init() and assign it to a global 'struct page * empty_zero_page' the same way mmu.c does and it's the same approach used in m68k with commit dc068f462179 as discussed here[0]. Then let's move ZERO_PAGE() definition to the top of pgtable.h to be in common between mmu.c and nommu.c.

mm: remove flush_kernel_dcache_page

2021-09-03T16:58:13+00:00

flush_kernel_dcache_page is a rather confusing interface that implements a subset of flush_dcache_page by not being able to properly handle page cache mapped pages. The only callers left are in the exec code as all other previous callers were incorrect as they could have dealt with page cache pages. Replace the calls to flush_kernel_dcache_page with calls to flush_dcache_page, which for all architectures does either exactly the same thing, can contains one or more of the following: 1) an optimization to defer the cache flush for page cache pages not mapped into userspace 2) additional flushing for mapped page cache pages if cache aliases are possible Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210712060928.4161649-7-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny Cc: Alex Shi Cc: Geoff Levand Cc: Greentime Hu Cc: Guo Ren Cc: Helge Deller Cc: "James E.J.
