powerpc/thp: Handle combo pages in invalidate
If we changed base page size of the segment, either via sub_page_protect
or via remap_4k_pfn, we do a demote_segment which doesn't flush the hash
table entries. We do a lazy hash page table flush for all mapped pages
in the demoted segment. This happens when we handle hash page fault for
these pages.
We use _PAGE_COMBO bit along with _PAGE_HASHPTE to indicate whether a
pte is backed by 4K hash pte. If we find _PAGE_COMBO not set on the pte,
that implies that we could possibly have older 64K hash pte entries in
the hash page table and we need to invalidate those entries.
Use _PAGE_COMBO to determine the page size with which we should
invalidate the hash table entries on unmap.

powerpc/mm: Add new "set" flag argument to pte/pmd update function
pte_update() is a powerpc-ism used to change the bits of a PTE
when the access permission is being restricted (a flush is
potentially needed).
It uses atomic operations on when needed and handles the hash
synchronization on hash based processors.
It is currently only used to clear PTE bits and so the current
implementation doesn't provide a way to also set PTE bits.
The new _PAGE_NUMA bit, when set, is actually restricting access
so it must use that function too, so this change adds the ability
for pte_update() to also set bits.
We will use this later to set the _PAGE_NUMA bit.

powerpc: Prepare to support kernel handling of IOMMU map/unmap
The current VFIO-on-POWER implementation supports only user mode
driven mapping, i.e. QEMU is sending requests to map/unmap pages.
However this approach is really slow, so we want to move that to KVM.
Since H_PUT_TCE can be extremely performance sensitive (especially with
network adapters where each packet needs to be mapped/unmapped) we chose
to implement that as a "fast" hypercall directly in "real
mode" (processor still in the guest context but MMU off).
To be able to do that, we need to provide some facilities to
access the struct page count within that real mode environment as things
like the sparsemem vmemmap mappings aren't accessible.
This adds an API function realmode_pfn_to_page() to get page struct when
MMU is off.
This adds to MM a new function put_page_unless_one() which drops a page
if counter is bigger than 1. It is going to be used when MMU is off
(for example, real mode on PPC64) and we want to make sure that page
release will not happen in real mode as it may crash the kernel in
a horrible way.
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and CONFIG_FLATMEM are supported.

powerpc/THP: Implement transparent hugepages for ppc64
We now have pmd entries covering 16MB range and the PMD table double its original size.
We use the second half of the PMD table to deposit the pgtable (PTE page).
The depoisted PTE page is further used to track the HPTE information. The information
include [ secondary group | 3 bit hidx | valid ]. We use one byte per each HPTE entry.
With 16MB hugepage and 64K HPTE we need 256 entries and with 4K HPTE we need
4096 entries. Both will fit in a 4K PTE page. On hugepage invalidate we need to walk
the PTE page and invalidate all valid HPTEs.
This patch implements necessary arch specific functions for THP support and also
hugepage invalidate logic. These PMD related functions are intentionally kept
similar to their PTE counter-part.

With PGD_INDEX_SIZE set to 12 the existing macro doesn't work. Fix it to

The idea originally was to have one more bit in the result of
pgd_index() than PGD_INDEX_SIZE, so that if one had an address
corresponding to the last PGD entry, and then incremented that address
by PGD_SIZE, and took pgd_index() of that, you wouldn't end up with
zero. The commit that introduced that dates back to 2002, and the
code that was sensitive to that edge case has long since been
refactored (several times), so there is no need for it these days.

powerpc/mm: Allow more flexible layouts for hugepage pagetables
Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different
pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to
hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page
tables at a different level. Every hugepage aware path that needs to
walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the
slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables
accordingly. Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage
sizes, more layout options and more mess.
This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to
reduce this complexity. In the new scheme, instead of having to
consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the
PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables,
and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage
shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the
slice mask. This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple
levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for
now we assume only one level exists.
This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to
know how the pagetables should be set out. All other (hugepage)
pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go.
There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage
directory pointers, but it was only used for debug. We alter that
flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable
pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear
mapping). This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and
punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for
unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage
pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative.
While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating)
#defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.

powerpc/mm: Cleanup management of kmem_caches for pagetables
Currently we have a fair bit of rather fiddly code to manage the
various kmem_caches used to store page tables of various levels. We
generally have two caches holding some combination of PGD, PUD and PMD
tables, plus several more for the special hugepage pagetables.
This patch cleans this all up by taking a different approach. Rather
than the caches being designated as for PUDs or for hugeptes for 16M
pages, the caches are simply allocated to be a specific size. Thus
sharing of caches between different types/levels of pagetables happens
naturally. The pagetable size, where needed, is passed around encoded
in the same way as {PGD,PUD,PMD}_INDEX_SIZE; that is n where the
pagetable contains 2^n pointers.

powerpc/mm: Cleanup handling of execute permission
This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute
permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only
defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
#ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
hopefully should cover everything.
The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
it already was in that area due to that change.
I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
execute permissions... Unless I missed something

this will make it easier to add support for Book3 "E" 64-bit

This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC.
The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type:
- Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it
at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages
on exec faults.
- Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and
64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache().
- Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on
exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does.
That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache()
is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before
we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but
I think it has bitten us in the past.
Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least
one more page fault.
This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites,
though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call
sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags()
which joins the former in pgtable.c
The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the
flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us
to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation
more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later).
If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit
the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags()
to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make
this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path
is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time.
For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(),
thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache
is clean.
For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism
for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we
use _PAGE_EXEC.
This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms

powerpc/mm: Rework usage of _PAGE_COHERENT/NO_CACHE/GUARDED
Currently, we never set _PAGE_COHERENT in the PTEs, we just OR it in
in the hash code based on some CPU feature bit. We also manipulate
_PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED by hand in all sorts of places.
This changes the logic so that instead, the PTE now contains
_PAGE_COHERENT for all normal RAM pages thay have I = 0 on platforms
that need it. The hash code clears it if the feature bit is not set.
It also adds some clean accessors to setup various valid combinations
of access flags and change various bits of code to use them instead.
This should help having the PTE actually containing the bit
combinations that we really want.
I also removed _PAGE_GUARDED from _PAGE_BASE on 44x and instead
set it explicitely from the TLB miss. I will ultimately remove it
completely as it appears that it might not be needed after all
but in the meantime, having it in the TLB miss makes things a
lot easier.

powerpc: Get USE_STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS working again
The typesafe version of the powerpc pagetable handling (with
USE_STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS defined) has bitrotted again. This patch
makes a bunch of small fixes to get it back to building status.
It's still not enabled by default as gcc still generates worse
code with it for some reason.

powerpc: Fix build error with 64K pages and !hugetlbfs
HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA and HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA_TOPDOWN must
be defined whenever CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES is enabled, not just when
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is. They used to be always defined together but
this is no longer the case since 3a8247cc2c856930f34eafce33f6a039227ee175
("powerpc: Only demote individual slices rather than whole process").

powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
