We know what pgprot we're going to use, so don't #define it. Also,
since we select the nonaliasing/aliasing copypage implementation at
run time, there's no point having it globally visible.

Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.
This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.
There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

Prepare arm for the split page_table_lock: three issues.
Signal handling's preserve and restore of iwmmxt context currently involves
reading and writing that context to and from user space, while holding
page_table_lock to secure the user page(s) against kswapd. If we split the
lock, then the structure might span two pages, secured by to read into and
write from a kernel stack buffer, copying that out and in without locking (the
structure is 160 bytes in size, and here we're near the top of the kernel
stack). Or would the overhead be noticeable?
arm_syscall's cmpxchg emulation use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of
pte_offset_map and mm-wide page_table_lock; and strictly, it should now also
take mmap_sem before descending to pmd, to guard against another thread
munmapping, and the page table pulled out beneath this thread.
Updated two comments in fault-armv.c. adjust_pte is interesting, since its
modification of a pte in one part of the mm depends on the lock held when
calling update_mmu_cache for a pte in some other part of that mm. This can't
be done with a split page_table_lock (and we've already taken the lowest lock
in the hierarchy here): so we'll have to disable split on arm, unless
CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIPT to ensures adjust_pte never used.

Convert those few architectures which are calling pud_alloc, pmd_alloc,
pte_alloc_map on a user mm, not to take the page_table_lock first, nor drop it
after. Each of these can continue to use pte_alloc_map, no need to change
over to pte_alloc_map_lock, they're neither racy nor swappable.
In the sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range, flush_tlb_range then falls outside of the
page_table_lock: that's okay, on sparc64 it's like flush_tlb_mm, and that has
always been called from outside of page_table_lock in dup_mmap.

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

Patch from Deepak Saxena
This patch adds support for 36-bit static mapped I/O. While there
are no platforms in the tree ATM that use it, it has been tested
tested on the IXP2350 NPU and I would like to get the support for
that chipset upstream one piece at a time. There are also other
Intel chipset ports in development that are waiting on this to go
upstream.
The patch replaces the print formats for physical addresses with
%016llx which will create a bit extraneous output on 32-bit systems,
but I think that is cleaner than having #ifdefs, specially since
users will only see the output in error cases.
Depends on 3016/1.

Patch from Deepak Saxena
Working on adding support for 36-bit static mappings for ARMv6 and
Intel's XSC3 core and noticed that alloc_init_supersection currently
increments the phys addr by 1MB on each of the 16 iterations and then
forces alignment to supersection size (16MB). This is really uneeded
b/c we have already forced the phys address to be 16MB aligned in
create_mapping(). Furthermore, this breaks 36-bit addressing b/c bits
[23:20] of the PMD contain bits [35:32] of the physical address and
the masking causes us to loose those bits thus ending up with an
incorrect virt -> phys translation. The other option is to have an
alloc_init_supersection36.
Tested on Intel IXP2350 CPU with 36-bit static I/O mappings.

Unfortunately, we can't use the "user" bit in the page tables to
control whether a page table entry is "global" or "asid" specific,
since the vector page is mapped as "user" accessible but is not
process specific.
Therefore, give direct control of the ARMv6 "nG" (not global)
bit to the mm layers.
