# 303975 11-Aug-2016 gjb

Copy stable/11@r303970 to releng/11.0 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE
cycle.

Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, and rename it to RC1.

Update __FreeBSD_version.

Use the quarterly branch for the default FreeBSD.conf pkg(8) repo and
the dvd1.iso packages population.

# 290989 17-Nov-2015 nwhitehorn

Where appropriate, use the endian-flipping OF_getencprop() instead of
OF_getprop() to get encode-int encoded values from the OF tree. This is
a no-op at present, since all existing PowerPC ports are big-endian, but
it is a correctness improvement and will be required if we have a
little-endian kernel at some future point.

Where it is totally impossible for the code ever to be used on a
little-endian system (much of powerpc/powermac, for instance), I have not
necessarily made the appropriate changes.

# 280147 16-Mar-2015 nwhitehorn

Convert PTE eviction lock from an RW lock to a RM lock. It is held for
writing approximately never (< 0.00000001% under heavy VM load, and it can
go for months without ever being acquired in normal operation). This
provides a 10% (2-minute) improvement in wall clock time for make -j32
buildworld on a 4-core 32-thread POWER8.


# 279940 13-Mar-2015 nwhitehorn

Deallocate any leftover page table entries in the LPAR at boot. This
prevents contamination from a previous kernel (e.g. after shutdown -r).


# 279252 24-Feb-2015 nwhitehorn

New pmap implementation for 64-bit PowerPC processors. The main focus of
this change is to improve concurrency:
- Drop global state stored in the shadow overflow page table (and all other
global state)
- Remove all global locks
- Use per-PTE lock bits to allow parallel page insertion
- Reconstruct state when requested for evicted PTEs instead of buffering
it during overflow

This drops total wall time for make buildworld on a 32-thread POWER8 system
by a factor of two and system time by a factor of three, providing performance
20% better than similarly clocked Core i7 Xeons per-core. Performance on
smaller SMP systems, where PMAP lock contention was not as much of an issue,
is nearly unchanged.

Tested on: POWER8, POWER5+, G5 UP, G5 SMP (64-bit and 32-bit kernels)

# 278456 09-Feb-2015 nwhitehorn

Mark invalid page table entries correctly for PMAP as well as for the
hypervisor. This prevents an infinite loop where processes with evicted
pages would page fault forever when PMAP decided the evicted pages on
which the process was faulting was actually present and did not need to
be restored.

Found while building LLVM with make -j32.

# 278434 09-Feb-2015 nwhitehorn

Fix typo in PTE insertion overflow handling: use the page we're actually
returning, not the one we just looked at.


# 278389 08-Feb-2015 nwhitehorn

Add some error checking on the supplied page size list. This makes sure
that we (a) get the correct large page size to provide to pmap and (b)
we can alert the user if running under incorrectly-configured PowerKVM
on POWER7 and POWER8 systems.

# 258503 23-Nov-2013 andreast

Limit the large page size to 16MB for now.

# 257473 31-Oct-2013 andreast

Ouch, do the shift properly. An uin64_t needs the right postfix when shifting.


# 255909 27-Sep-2013 nwhitehorn

Make sure that ref and changed bits propagate back to the VM layer
whenever pages are unmapped. The old code had several races that could
allow these to become stale.

# 255643 17-Sep-2013 nwhitehorn

Merge in support for PAPR-compliant (Power Architecture Platform
Requirements) systems from the projects/pseries branch. This in principle
includes all IBM POWER hardware released in the last 15 years with the
exception of POWER3-based systems when run in 64-bit mode. The main
development target, however, has been the PAPR logical partition support
that is the default target in KVM on POWER and QEMU -- mileage may vary
on actual hardware at present. Much of the heavy lifting here was done
by Andreas Tobler.
