ptes flags in compressed cache

ptes flags in compressed cache

[Rodrigo S. de Castro]

Hello,

	I am working on a compressed cache for 2.2.16 and I am
currently in a cache with no compression implementation. Well, at this
step, I gotta a doubt of how can I mark the pages (actually, ptes)
that are in my cache and neither present in memory nor in swap. This
is essential when I have a page fault, and this page is not present in
memory. It is (in a normal kernel) assumed to be in swap, but it can,
now, be in my cache. In order to mark the pte, I first thought of a
flag (in the style of _PAGE_*), and I defined _PAGE_COMPRESSED with
0x200, because all before were used. However, I got into a big
trouble. An address like 0xe00 is a valid swap address, and returns
true when I and it with 0x200. Thus, my question is: is there an
offset in swap address that allows me to use this part of address to
put a flag of mine in that free space? And, even more importante, do
you have any other idea to solve that? Maybe a better solution, that
does not depend on swap implementation and any future change would not
screw my current solution up. I don't have any idea of what might have
been changed on 2.4, so that's the main reason of asking you and be
trying to avoid possible troubles! :-)

PS: There's a simple page of my project. Give a look at:

Reserve a SWP_ENTRY for compressed pages.  There's precedent for that:
SHM in 2.2 already uses that mechanism for swapped-out shared memory
pages.

page fault.

[M.Jagadish Kumar]

hello,
Is there any way in which i can know when the pagefault occured,
i mean at what instruction of my program execution.
Does OS provide any support. This would help me to improve my program.
thanx

The way I use is to use oops message and System.map to locate the
subroutine where the oops occured. To find the exact line where the oops
occured, you need to either check assemble code or use more complicated
kernel debug technique. I think Rik covered some in his kernel debug
slides.

You're confusing issues. A pagefault has NOTHING to do
with an oops...

You are right. I misunderstood what he wants. To know when the pagefault
occured, one simply can work on the pagefault handler. It is trivial.

Page faults already produce a SIGSEGV which gets passed a sigcontext
struct describing where the fault occurred.

Isn't it that only unsatisfied pagefaults generate
SIGSEGV? The original question was whether there
is a way to track all pagefaults in a given program.
Please correct if I'm wrong: the answer to this latter
question is no. Unless one modifies do_pagefault to
generate such a signal on all faults ...

Re: page fault.

[volodya]

I was interested in that too :)) So far the best I came up with was a
loadable module that prints out all pages in active memory. Perhaps you
can use it together with debugger to step through the program and see what
happens.

No, shm does not use a SWP_TYPE. It only pretends to do ;-)

Unless the test program is the only one on the system,
there are other programs which will affect the pagefault
of the test program,  since the pages of those other programs
affect the resident pages of the test program.

AFAICT, there is no direct means of saying which instructions
caused page faults ... things like /sbin/time can report
total page faults only.

Why are you specifically interested in page faults?

hi Everyone
	i am novice in this field and trying to port hardhat linux on
my custome board i have configured whole kernel and  in last when i try to
start the /sbin/init function i get the error

[PATCH] export m8xx_cpm_hostalloc

[Andreas Oberritter]

Hi Tom,

to build an i2c driver as a module, m8xx_cpm_hostalloc must be exported.
We are using a driver which is not in the kernel tree[1]. I tried to
merge the in-kernel i2c driver with it, but I failed and don't have the
time to investigate why our driver works with the dbox2 board and the
in-kernel driver doesn't.

This function has been exported in 2.4. Is it ok to do that for 2.6,
too?

Regards,
Andreas

page fault

[bharat]

hi all,
i am a newbie,so i may be far behind the curve,but please bear with me.
i am porting hardhat linux for MPPC860T for our custome hardware and i
am not using any bootloader instead i use my custome utility to download
kernel to board,in /arch/ppc/m8xx_setup.c in function m8xx_init i give

	bd_t *binfo;

        binfo =res;

        binfo->bi_memstart=0;
        binfo->bi_memsize=10*1024*1024;
        binfo->bi_intfreq=50;

#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
        initrd_start = 10*1024*1024 + KERNELBASE;
        initrd_end = 16*1024*1024 + KERNELBASE;
#endif
as i want to use 10 mb of my ram for execution and rest up to 16 mb
for file system currently it is nfs mounted.
problem is that it all went ok in kernel space but as soon as it enters
in user space it starts giving PAGE_FAULTS.
how can i remove this.
Thanks in anticipation

You seem to have posted this in reply to Andreas Oberritter's message in
which he offered a patch to export m8xx_cpm_hostalloc().

Please could you explain why these are related -- did you only start
seeing this problem after you applied his patch?

There is no swapping in from disk in that code. You probably think
of memory-paging, which has nothing to do with shadow code.

Page Fault

[Enzo Desiage]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 7219 bytes --]

Hi,

I am trying to write a proof of concept where the execve
system call gets replaced by a new one, that
would print a message if ls is launched.

However, this is giving me a page fault everytime
I try to insmod it, and I cannot figure out why.

Thanks,
Enzo

Thanks!
What I don't understand is why would we need rax register in the inline

As I only need to flip the 16th bit of cr0, so using eax should suffice?
As I don't need to address the whole register.
