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 patch tweaks the way some PTE bit combinations are defined, in such a
way that the 32 and 64-bit variant become almost identical and that will
make it easier to bring in a new common pte-* file for the new variant
of the Book3-E support.
The combination of bits defining access to kernel pages are now clearly
separated from the combination used by userspace and the core VM. The
resulting generated code should remain identical unless I made a mistake.
Note: While at it, I removed a non-sensical statement related to CONFIG_KGDB
in ppc_mmu_32.c which could cause kernel mappings to be user accessible when
that option is enabled. Probably something that bitrot.

On 64bit there is a possibility our stack and mmap randomisation will put
the two close enough such that we can't expand our stack to match the ulimit
specified.
To avoid this, start the upper mmap address at 1GB + 128MB below the top of our
address space, so in the worst case we end up with the same ~128MB hole as in
32bit. This works because we randomise the stack over a 1GB range.

get_random_int() returns the same value within a 1 jiffy interval. This means
that the mmap and stack regions will almost always end up the same distance
apart, making a relative offset based attack possible.
To fix this, shift the randomness we use for the mmap region by 1 bit.

to make them easier to understand. There are no functional changes in
this patch and has been tested on machine with memory represented in the
device tree as memory nodes and in the ibm,dynamic-memory property.
My previous patch that introduced support for hotplug memory add on
systems whose memory was represented by the ibm,dynamic-memory property
of the device tree only left the code more unintelligible. This

Fix the powerpc NUMA reserve bootmem page selection logic.
commit 8f64e1f2d1e09267ac926e15090fd505c1c0cbcb (powerpc: Reserve
in bootmem lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes) changed
the logic for how the powerpc LMB reserved regions were converted
to bootmen reserved regions. As the folowing discussion reports,
the new logic was not correct.
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() goes through each LMB on the
system that specifies a reserved area. It searches for
active regions that intersect with that LMB and are on the
specified node. It attempts to bootmem-reserve only the area
where the active region and the reserved LMB intersect. We
can not reserve things on other nodes as they may not have
bootmem structures allocated, yet.
We base the size of the bootmem reservation on two possible
things. Normally, we just make the reservation start and
stop exactly at the start and end of the LMB.
However, the LMB reservations are not aware of NUMA nodes and
on occasion a single LMB may cross into several adjacent
active regions. Those may even be on different NUMA nodes
and will require separate calls to the bootmem reserve
functions. So, the bootmem reservation must be trimmed to
fit inside the current active region.
That's all fine and dandy, but we trim the reservation
in a page-aligned fashion. That's bad because we start the
reservation at a non-page-aligned address: physbase.
The reservation may only span 2 bytes, but that those bytes
may span two pfns and cause a reserve_size of 2*PAGE_SIZE.
Take the case where you reserve 0x2 bytes at 0x0fff and
where the active region ends at 0x1000. You'll jump into
that if() statment, but node_ar.end_pfn=0x1 and
start_pfn=0x0. You'll end up with a reserve_size=0x1000,
and then call
reserve_bootmem_node(node, physbase=0xfff, size=0x1000);
0x1000 may not be on the same node as 0xfff. Oops.
In almost all the vm code, end_<anything> is not inclusive.
If you have an end_pfn of 0x1234, page 0x1234 is not
included in the range. Using PFN_UP instead of the
(>> >> PAGE_SHIFT) will make this consistent with the other VM
code.
We also need to do math for the reserved size with physbase
instead of start_pfn. node_ar.end_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT is
*precisely* the end of the node. However,
(start_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) is *NOT* precisely the beginning
of the reserved area. That is, of course, physbase.
If we don't use physbase here, the reserve_size can be
made too large.

The Power ISA 2.06 added power of two page sizes to the embedded MMU
architecture. Its done it such a way to be code compatiable with the
existing HW. Made the minor code changes to support both power of two
and power of four page sizes. Also added some new MAS bits and macros
that are defined as part of the 2.06 ISA. Renamed some things to use
the 'Book-3e' concept to convey the new MMU that is based on the
Freescale Book-E MMU programming model.
Note, its still invalid to try and use a page size that isn't supported
by cpu.

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

The code that maps kernel low memory would only use page sizes up to 256
MB. On E500v2 pages up to 4 GB are supported.
However, a page must be aligned to a multiple of the page's size. I.e.
256 MB pages must aligned to a 256 MB boundary. This was enforced by a
requirement that the physical and virtual addresses of the start of lowmem
be aligned to 256 MB. Clearly requiring 1GB or 4GB alignment to allow
pages of that size isn't acceptable.
To solve this, I simply have adjust_total_lowmem() take alignment into
account when it decides what size pages to use. Give it PAGE_OFFSET =
0x7000_0000, PHYSICAL_START = 0x3000_0000, and 2GB of RAM, and it will map
pages like this:
PA 0x3000_0000 VA 0x7000_0000 Size 256 MB
PA 0x4000_0000 VA 0x8000_0000 Size 1 GB
PA 0x8000_0000 VA 0xC000_0000 Size 256 MB
PA 0x9000_0000 VA 0xD000_0000 Size 256 MB
PA 0xA000_0000 VA 0xE000_0000 Size 256 MB
Because the lowmem mapping code now takes alignment into account,
PHYSICAL_ALIGN can be lowered from 256 MB to 64 MB. Even lower might be
possible. The lowmem code will work down to 4 kB but it's possible some of
the boot code will fail before then. Poor alignment will force small pages
to be used, which combined with the limited number of TLB1 pages available,
will result in very little memory getting mapped. So alignments less than
64 MB probably aren't very useful anyway.

The code to map lowmem uses three CAM aka TLB[1] entries to cover it. The
size of each is stored in three globals named __cam0, __cam1, and __cam2.
All the code that uses them is duplicated three times for each of the three
variables.
We have these things called arrays and loops....
Once converted to use an array, it will be easier to make the number of

Also, add a separate variable to store the physial
address that comes back from the lmb_alloc() functions.
This makes it less likely that someone will screw it up
forgetting to convert before returning since the vaddr
is always in a void* and the paddr is always in an

This is a global variable defined in fsl_booke_mmu.c with a value that gets
initialized in assembly code in head_fsl_booke.S.
It's never used.
If some code ever does want to know the number of entries in TLB1, then
"numcams = mfspr(SPRN_TLB1CFG) & 0xfff", is a whole lot simpler than a
global initialized during kernel boot from assembly.

Some assembly code in head_fsl_booke.S hard-coded the size of struct tlbcam
to 20 when it indexed the TLBCAM table. Anyone changing the size of struct
tlbcam would not know to expect that.
The kernel already has a system to get the size of C structures into
assembly language files, asm-offsets, so let's use it.
The definition of the struct gets moved to a header, so that asm-offsets.c
can include it.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

The KernelPageSize entry in /proc/pid/smaps is the pagesize used by the
kernel to back a VMA. This matches the size used by the MMU in the
majority of cases. However, one counter-example occurs on PPC64 kernels
whereby a kernel using 64K as a base pagesize may still use 4K pages for
the MMU on older processor. To distinguish, this patch reports
MMUPageSize as the pagesize used by the MMU in /proc/pid/smaps.

This adds support for 16k and 64k page sizes on PowerPC 44x processors.
The PGDIR table is much smaller than a page when using 16k or 64k
pages (512 and 32 bytes respectively) so we allocate the PGDIR with
kzalloc() instead of __get_free_pages().
One PTE table covers rather a large memory area when using 16k or 64k
pages (32MB or 512MB respectively), so we can easily put FIXMAP and
PKMAP in the area covered by one PTE table.

Add the ability for a classic ppc kernel to be loaded at an address
of 32MB. This done by fixing a few places that assume we are loaded
at address 0, and by changing several uses of KERNELBASE to use
PAGE_OFFSET, instead.

While for debugging it is good to catch bogus users of ioremap, though
for kdump support it is more convenient to use __ioremap for
copy_oldmem_page() (exactly as we do for PPC64 currently).
Note that copy_oldmem_page() calls __ioremap with flags set to '0',
so it should be safe with the regard to the caches.
The other option is to use kmap_atomic_pfn()[1], but it will not work
for kernels compiled without HIGHMEM.
That is, on a board with 256MB RAM and crashkernel=64M@32M case, the
!HIGHMEM capturing kernel maps 0-96M range, which does not include all
the memory needed to capture the dump. And, obviously, accessing
anything upper than 96M will cause faults.
