Rearrange 64K PTE bits to free up bits 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the 64K backed HPTE pages. This along with the earlier patch will entirely free up the four bits from 64K PTE. The bit numbers are big-endian as defined in the ISA3.0 This patch does the following change to 64K PTE backed by 64K HPTE. H_PAGE_F_SECOND (S) which occupied bit 4 moves to the second part of the pte to bit 60. H_PAGE_F_GIX (G,I,X) which occupied bit 5, 6 and 7 also moves to the second part of the pte to bit 61, 62, 63, 64 respectively since bit 7 is now freed up, we move H_PAGE_BUSY (B) from bit 9 to bit 7. The second part of the PTE will hold (H_PAGE_F_SECOND|H_PAGE_F_GIX) at bit 60,61,62,63. NOTE: None of the bits in the secondary PTE were not used by 64k-HPTE backed PTE. Before the patch, the 64K HPTE 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| |S |G |I |X |x|B| |x|x|................|x|x|x|x| <- primary pte '_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'_'________________'_'_'_'_' | | | | | | | | | | | | |..................| | | | | <- secondary pte '_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'__________________'_'_'_'_' After the patch, the 64k HPTE 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| | | | |B |x| | |x|x|................|.|.|.|.| <- primary pte '_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'_'________________'_'_'_'_' | | | | | | | | | | | | |..................|S|G|I|X| <- secondary pte '_'_'_'_'__'__'__'__'_'_'_'_'__________________'_'_'_'_' The above PTE changes is applicable to hugetlbpages aswell. The patch does the following code changes: a) moves the H_PAGE_F_SECOND and H_PAGE_F_GIX to 4k PTE header since it is no more needed b the 64k PTEs. b) abstracts out __real_pte() and __rpte_to_hidx() so the caller need not know the bit location of the slot. c) moves the slot bits to the secondary pte.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
