Commit a0668cdc154e54bf0c85182e0535eea237d53146 cleans up the handling
of kmem_caches for allocating various levels of pagetables.
Unfortunately, it conflicts badly with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT, due to
the latter's cleverly hidden technique of adding some extra allocation
space to the top level page directory to store the extra information
it needs.
Since that extra allocation really doesn't fit into the cleaned up
page directory allocating scheme, this patch alters
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT to instead allocate its struct
subpage_prot_table as part of the mm_context_t.

CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT"
This reverts commit c045256d146800ea1d741a8e9e377dada6b7e195.
It breaks build when CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT is not set. I will
commit a fixed version separately

accessors
The hugepage arch code provides a number of hook functions/macros
which mirror the functionality of various normal page pte access
functions. Various changes in the normal page accessors (in
particular BenH's recent changes to the handling of lazy icache
flushing and PAGE_EXEC) have caused the hugepage versions to get out
of sync with the originals. In some cases, this is a bug, at least on
some MMU types.
One of the reasons that some hooks were not identical to the normal
page versions, is that the fact we're dealing with a hugepage needed
to be passed down do use the correct dcache-icache flush function.
This patch makes the main flush_dcache_icache_page() function hugepage
aware (by checking for the PageCompound flag). That in turn means we
can make set_huge_pte_at() just a call to set_pte_at() bringing it
back into sync. As a bonus, this lets us remove the
hash_huge_page_do_lazy_icache() function, replacing it with a call to
the hash_page_do_lazy_icache() function it was based on.
Some other hugepage pte access hooks - huge_ptep_get_and_clear() and
huge_ptep_clear_flush() - are not so easily unified, but this patch at
least brings them back into sync with the current versions of the
corresponding normal page functions.

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.

The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not
being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during
migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB
size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the
SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to
migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after
migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also
add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration
tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability
before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

This adds the PTE and pgtable format definitions, along with changes
to the kernel memory map and other definitions related to implementing
support for 64-bit Book3E. This also shields some asm-offset bits that
are currently only relevant on 32-bit
We also move the definition of the "linux" page size constants to
the common mmu.h file and add a few sizes that are relevant to
embedded processors.

This moves some MMU related init code out of setup_64.c into hash_utils_64.c
and calls it early_init_mmu() and early_init_mmu_secondary(). This will
make it easier to plug in a new MMU type.

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)
The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.
This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).
With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

The function htab_bolt_mapping() is used to create permanent
mappings in the MMU hash table, for example, in order to create
the linear mapping of vmemmap. It's also used by early boot
ioremap (before mem_init_done).
However, the way ioremap uses it is incorrect as it passes it the
protection flags in the "linux PTE" form while htab_bolt_mapping()
expects them in the hash table format. This is made more confusing by
the fact that some of those flags are actually in the same position in
both cases.
This fixes it all by making htab_bolt_mapping() take normal linux
protection flags instead, and use a little helper to convert them to
htab flags. Callers can now use the usual PAGE_* definitions safely.

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.
