Alpha implements custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR for modules because percpu
area can be located far away from the 4G area where the module text is
located. The custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR forces GOT usage using ldq
instruction with literal relocation; however, the relocation can't be
used with dynamically allocated percpu variables. Fortunately,
similar result can be achieved by using weak percpu variable
definitions.
This patch makes alpha use weak definitions and switch to dynamic
percpu allocator.
asm/tlbflush.h was getting linux/sched.h via asm/percpu.h which no
longer needs it. Include linux/sched.h directly in asm/tlbflush.h.
Compile tested. Generation of litereal relocation verified.
This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

Some archs (alpha and s390) need to use weak definitions for percpu
variables in modules so that the compiler generates external
references for them.
This patch implements weak percpu definitions which arch can enable by
defining ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in arch percpu header file. This
weak definition adds the following two restrictions on percpu variable
definitions.
1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function
To ensure that these restrictions are observed in generic code, config
option DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU enables weak percpu definitions for
all cases.
This patch is inspired by Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

There are a few places where ___cacheline_aligned* is used with
DEFINE_PER_CPU(). Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() instead.
DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() applies alignment only on SMPs. While
all other converted places used _in_smp variant or only get compiled
for SMP, net/rds used unconditional ____cacheline_aligned. I don't
see any reason these data structures should be aligned on UP and thus
converted together.

Currently, the following three different ways to define percpu arrays
are in use.
1. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type[array_len], array_name);
2. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name[array_len]);
3. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name)[array_len];
Unify to #1 which correctly separates the roles of the two parameters
and thus allows more flexibility in the way percpu variables are
defined.

This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator. The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.
s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.
The following architectures are affected by this change.
* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)
As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs. These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.
* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390
Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization). Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc. The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

On extreme configuration (e.g. 32bit 32-way NUMA machine), lpage

According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.
This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.
While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also,
kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
quite some time ago.

lpage allocator aliases a PMD page for each cpu and returns whatever
is unused to the page allocator. When the pageattr of the recycled
pages are changed, this makes the two aliases point to the overlapping
regions with different attributes which isn't allowed and known to
cause subtle data corruption in certain cases.
This can be handled in simliar manner to the x86_64 highmap alias.
pageattr code should detect if the target pages have PMD alias and
split the PMD alias and synchronize the attributes.
pcpur allocator is updated to keep the allocated PMD pages map sorted
in ascending address order and provide pcpu_lpage_remapped() function
which binary searches the array to determine whether the given address
is aliased and if so to which address. pageattr is updated to use
pcpu_lpage_remapped() to detect the PMD alias and split it up as
necessary from cpa_process_alias().
Jan Beulich spotted the original problem and incorrect usage of vaddr
instead of laddr for lookup.
With this, lpage percpu allocator should work correctly. Re-enable
it.

The "remap" allocator remaps large pages to build the first chunk;
however, the name isn't very good because 4k allocator remaps too and
the whole point of the remap allocator is using large page mapping.
The allocator will be generalized and exported outside of x86, rename
it to lpage before that happens.
percpu_alloc kernel parameter is updated to accept both "remap" and
"lpage" for lpage allocator.

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault(). All callers have been (mechanically)
converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room

when that support is added.

The fault handling routines really want more fine-grained flags than a
single "was it a write fault" boolean - the callers will want to set
flags like "you can return a retry error" etc.
And that's actually how the VM works internally, but right now the
top-level fault handling functions in mm/memory.c all pass just the
'write_access' boolean around.
This switches them over to pass around the FAULT_FLAG_xyzzy 'flags'
variable instead. The 'write_access' calling convention still exists
for the exported 'handle_mm_fault()' function, but that is next.

The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see
commit 7f8189068726492950bf1a2dcfd9b51314560abf: "x86: don't use
'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and
end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy
about virtual address checking.
So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual
addresses:
- All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address
space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed
integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when
applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space.
- /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more
obvious when it transforms a file offset into a
(kernel-half) virtual address.
- Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to
be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX.
This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also
uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it
would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the
string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid
strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this.
So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we
already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'. Namely by just
checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the
rest. That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be
mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we
didn't, we'd have the address space hole).
