These two functions implement the same semantics, so unify their naming so we
can share code that calls them. The longer name is more descriptive so use it.

Add support in pte_alloc_one() and pgd_alloc() by
passing __GFP_ACCOUNT in the flags

Introduce a helper pgtable_gfp_flags() which
just returns the current gfp flags and adds
__GFP_ACCOUNT to account for page table allocation.
The generic helper is added to include/asm/pgalloc.h
and has two variants - WARNING ugly bits ahead
1. If the header is included from a module, no check
for mm == &init_mm is done, since init_mm is not
exported
2. For kernel includes, the check is done and required
see (3e79ec7 arch: x86: charge page tables to kmemcg)
The fundamental assumption is that no module should be
doing pgd/pud/pmd and pte alloc's on behalf of init_mm
directly.
NOTE: This adds an overhead to pmd/pud/pgd allocations
similar to x86. The other alternative was to implement
pmd_alloc_kernel/pud_alloc_kernel and pgd_alloc_kernel
with their offset variants.
For 4k page size, pte_alloc_one no longer calls
pte_alloc_one_kernel.

BOOKE code is dead code as per the Kconfig details. So make it simpler
by enabling MM_SLICE only for book3s_64. The changes w.r.t nohash is just
removing deadcode. W.r.t ppc64, 4k without hugetlb will now enable MM_SLICE.
But that is good, because we reduce one extra variant which probably is not
getting tested much.

If an architecture uses 4level-fixup.h we don't need to do anything as
it includes 5level-fixup.h.
If an architecture uses pgtable-nop*d.h, define __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK
before inclusion of the header. It makes asm-generic code to use
5level-fixup.h.
If an architecture has 4-level paging or folds levels on its own,
include 5level-fixup.h directly.

On 32-bit book-e machines, hugepd_ok() no longer takes into account null

This impacts all nxp (ex-freescale) 32-bit booke platforms.
This was caused by the change of hugepd_t.pd from signed to unsigned,
and the update to the nohash version of hugepd_ok(). Previously
hugepd_ok() could exclude all non-huge and NULL pgds using > 0, whereas
now we need to explicitly check that the value is not zero and also that
PD_HUGE is *clear*.
This isn't protected by the pgd_none() check in __find_linux_pte_or_hugepte()
because on 32-bit we use pgtable-nopud.h, which causes the pgd_none()
check to be always false.

When we switched to big endian page table, we never updated the hugepd
format such that it can work for both big endian and little endian
config. This patch series update hugepd format such that it is looked at
as __be64 value in big endian page table config.
This patch also switch hugepd_t.pd from signed long to unsigned long.
I did update the FSL hugepd_ok check to check for the top bit instead
of checking > 0.

Freescale updates from Scott:
"Highlights include 8xx hugepage support, qbman fixes/cleanup, device
tree updates, and some misc cleanup."

8xx uses a two level page table with two different linux page size
support (4k and 16k). 8xx also support two different hugepage sizes
512k and 8M. In order to support them on linux we define two different
page table layout.
The size of pages is in the PGD entry, using PS field (bits 28-29):
00 : Small pages (4k or 16k)
01 : 512k pages
10 : reserved
11 : 8M pages
For 512K hugepage size a pgd entry have the below format
[<hugepte address >0101] . The hugepte table allocated will contain 8
entries pointing to 512K huge pte in 4k pages mode and 64 entries in
16k pages mode.
For 8M in 16k mode, a pgd entry have the below format
[<hugepte address >1101] . The hugepte table allocated will contain 8
entries pointing to 8M huge pte.
For 8M in 4k mode, multiple pgd entries point to the same hugepte
address and pgd entry will have the below format
[<hugepte address>1101]. The hugepte table allocated will only have one
entry.
For the time being, we do not support CPU15 ERRATA when HUGETLB is
selected

Today powerpc64 uses a set of pgtable_caches while powerpc32 uses
standard pages when using 4k pages and a single pgtable_cache
if using other size pages.
In preparation of implementing huge pages on the 8xx, this patch
replaces the specific powerpc32 handling by the 64 bits approach.
This is done by:
* moving 64 bits pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init()
in a new file called init-common.c
* modifying pgtable_cache_init() to also handle the case
without PMD
* removing the 32 bits version of pgtable_cache_add() and
pgtable_cache_init()
* copying related header contents from 64 bits into both the
book3s/32 and nohash/32 header files
On the 8xx, the following cache sizes will be used:
* 4k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(10) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 512k hugepage tables
* 16k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(6) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(7) for 512k hugepage tables
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 8M hugepage tables

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
{pud,pmd}_alloc_one are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in
pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12
size and that fits into !costly allocation request size.
PGALLOC_GFP is used only in radix__pgd_alloc which uses either order-0
or order-4 requests. The first one doesn't need the flag while the
second does. Drop __GFP_REPEAT from PGALLOC_GFP and add it for the
order-4 one.
This means that this flag has never been actually useful here because it
has always been used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate

Commit 74701d5947a6 "powerpc/mm: Rename function to indicate we are
allocating fragments" renamed page_table_free() to pte_fragment_free().
One occurrence was mistyped as pte_fragment_fre().
This only breaks the nohash 64K page build, which is not the default or
enabled in any defconfig.

This patch switches 4K Linux page size config to use pte_t * type
instead of struct page * for pgtable_t. This simplifies the code a lot
and helps in consolidating both 64K and 4K page allocator routines. The
changes should not have any impact, because we already store physical
address in the upper level page table tree and that implies we already
do struct page * to physical address conversion.
One change to note here is we move the pgtable_page_dtor() call for
nohash to pte_fragment_free_mm(). The nohash related change is due to
the related changes in pgtable_64.c.

This reverts pgalloc related changes WRT implementing 4-level page
table for 64K Linux page size and storing of physical address in higher
level page tables since they are only applicable to book3s64 variant
and we now have a separate copy for book3s64. This helps to keep these
headers simpler.

For hash we create vmemmap mapping using bolted hash page table entries.
For radix we fill the radix page table. The next patch will add the
radix details for creating vmemmap mappings.

already mapped through Large TLBs. pte_offset_kernel() has to

This changes the Linux page tables to store physical addresses
rather than kernel virtual addresses in the upper levels of the
tree (pgd, pud and pmd) for 64-bit Book 3S machines.
This also changes the hugepd pointers used to implement hugepages
when the base page size is 4k to store physical addresses rather than
virtual addresses (again just for 64-bit Book3S machines).
This frees up some high order bits, and will be needed with
PowerISA v3.0 machines which read the page table tree in hardware
in radix mode.

W.r.t hugetlb, we support two format for pmd. With book3s_64 and
64K linux page size, we can have pte at the pmd level. Hence we
don't need to support hugepd there. For everything else hugepd
is supported and pmd_huge is (0).
