CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 indicates support for the "standard" powerpc MMU
on 64-bit CPUs. The "standard" MMU refers to the hash page table MMU
found in "server" processors, from IBM mainly.
Currently CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is == CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64. While it's
annoying to have two symbols that always have the same value, it's not
quite annoying enough to bother removing one.
However with the arrival of Power9, we now have the situation where
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is enabled, but the kernel is running using the
Radix MMU - *not* the "standard" MMU. So it is now actively confusing
to use it, because it implies that code is disabled or inactive when
the Radix MMU is in use, however that is not necessarily true.
So s/CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64/CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/, and do some minor
formatting updates of some of the affected lines.
This will be a pain for backports, but c'est la vie.

We have a whole pile of unused code to maintain the ACOP register,
allocate coprocessor PIDs and handle ACOP faults. This mechanism
was used for the HFI adapter on POWER7 which is dead and gone and
whose driver never went upstream. It was used on some A2 core based
stuff that also never saw the light of day.
Take out all that code.
There is still some POWER8 coprocessor code that uses icswx but it's
kernel only and thus doesn't use any of that infrastructure.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/scottwood/linux into next
Freescale updates from Scott:
"Highlights include 8xx hugepage support, qbman fixes/cleanup, device
tree updates, and some misc cleanup."

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

In the recent commit 1515ab932156 ("powerpc/mm: Dump hash table") we
added code to dump the hage page table. Currently this can be selected
to build on any platform. However it breaks the build if we're building
for a non-Book3S platform, because none of the hash page table related
defines and so on exist. So restrict it to building only on Book3S.
Similarly in commit 8eb07b187000 ("powerpc/mm: Dump linux pagetables")
we added code to dump the Linux page tables, which uses some constants
which are only defined on Book3S - so guard those with an #ifdef.

Useful to be able to dump the kernel hash page table to check
which pages are hashed along with their sizes and other details.
Add a debugfs file to check the hash page table. If radix is enabled
(and so there is no hash page table) then this file doesn't exist. To
use this the PPC_PTDUMP config option must be selected.

Commit 2578bfae84a7 ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added
CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do
likewise.
But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it.
So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and
tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion
about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig.

Core kernel doesn't track the page size of the VA range that we are
invalidating. Hence we end up flushing TLB for the entire mm here. Later
patches will improve this.
We also don't flush page walk cache separetly instead use RIC=2 when
flushing TLB, because we do a MMU gather flush after freeing page table.
MMU_NO_CONTEXT is updated for hash.

This adds routines for early setup for radix. We use device tree
property "ibm,processor-radix-AP-encodings" to find supported page
sizes. If we don't find the above we consider 64K and 4K as supported
page sizes.
We do map vmemap using 2M page size if we can. The linear mapping is
done such that we use required page size for that range. For example
memory of 3.5G is mapped such that we use 1G mapping till 3G range and
use 2M mapping for the rest.

On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over
a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses
and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler.
This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the
non-idle time.
Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and
85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93%
are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on
addresses from the virtual address space.
MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements
mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is
done on the 40x.
In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two
entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add
4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR
routine. This is just ignored by HW.
In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry
will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds
the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page.
With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses
during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s
and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which
represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.

We are adding support for DMA memory pre-registration to be used in
conjunction with VFIO. The idea is that the userspace which is going to
run a guest may want to pre-register a user space memory region so
it all gets pinned once and never goes away. Having this done,
a hypervisor will not have to pin/unpin pages on every DMA map/unmap
request. This is going to help with multiple pinning of the same memory.
Another use of it is in-kernel real mode (mmu off) acceleration of
DMA requests where real time translation of guest physical to host
physical addresses is non-trivial and may fail as linux ptes may be
temporarily invalid. Also, having cached host physical addresses
(compared to just pinning at the start and then walking the page table
again on every H_PUT_TCE), we can be sure that the addresses which we put
into TCE table are the ones we already pinned.
This adds a list of memory regions to mm_context_t. Each region consists
of a header and a list of physical addresses. This adds API to:
1. register/unregister memory regions;
2. do final cleanup (which puts all pre-registered pages);
3. do userspace to physical address translation;
4. manage usage counters; multiple registration of the same memory
is allowed (once per container).
This implements 2 counters per registered memory region:
- @mapped: incremented on every DMA mapping; decremented on unmapping;
initialized to 1 when a region is just registered; once it becomes zero,
no more mappings allowe;
- @used: incremented on every "register" ioctl; decremented on
"unregister"; unregistration is allowed for DMA mapped regions unless
it is the very last reference. For the very last reference this checks
that the region is still mapped and returns -EBUSY so the userspace
gets to know that memory is still pinned and unregistration needs to
be retried; @used remains 1.
Host physical addresses are stored in vmalloc'ed array. In order to
access these in the real mode (mmu off), there is a real_vmalloc_addr()
helper. In-kernel acceleration patchset will move it from KVM to MMU code.

There appears to be no good reason to keep this as 64bit only. It works
on 32bit also, and has checks so that it can work correctly with 32bit
binaries on 64bit hardware which is why I think this works.
I tested this on qemu using the virtex-ml507 machine type.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.
On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.
The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).
This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.

On Freescale parts typically have TLB array for large mappings that we can
bolt the linear mapping into. We utilize the code that already exists
on PPC32 on the 64-bit side to setup the linear mapping to be cover by
bolted TLB entries. We utilize a quarter of the variable size TLB array
for this purpose.
Additionally, we limit the amount of memory to what we can cover via
bolted entries so we don't get secondary faults in the TLB miss
handlers. We should fix this limitation in the future.

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.
The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.
The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.
The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.
It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

While we did add support for _PAGE_SPECIAL on some 32-bit platforms,
we never actually built get_user_pages_fast() on them. This fixes
it which requires a little bit of ifdef'ing around.

Currently, the various forms of low level TLB invalidations are all
implemented in misc_32.S for 32-bit processors, in a fairly scary
mess of #ifdef's and with interesting duplication such as a whole
bunch of code for FSL _tlbie and _tlbia which are no longer used.
This moves things around such that _tlbie is now defined in
hash_low_32.S and is only used by the 32-bit hash code, and all
nohash CPUs use the various _tlbil_* forms that are now moved to
a new file, tlb_nohash_low.S.
I moved all the definitions for that stuff out of
include/asm/tlbflush.h as they are really internal mm stuff, into
mm/mmu_decl.h
The code should have no functional changes. I kept some variants
inline for trivial forms on things like 40x and 8xx.

This commit moves the whole no-hash TLB handling out of line into a
new tlb_nohash.c file, and implements some basic SMP support using
IPIs and/or broadcast tlbivax instructions.
Note that I'm using local invalidations for D->I cache coherency.
At worst, if another processor is trying to execute the same and
has the old entry in its TLB, it will just take a fault and re-do
the TLB flush locally (it won't re-do the cache flush in any case).

This splits the mmu_context handling between 32-bit hash based
processors, 64-bit hash based processors and everybody else. This is
preliminary work for adding SMP support for BookE processors.

This renames the files to clarify the fact that they are used by
the hash based family of CPUs (the 603 being an exception in that
family but is still handled by that code).
This paves the way for the new tlb_nohash.c coming via a subsequent
commit.

Refactor the RCU based pte free code that was used on ppc64 to be used
on all powerpc.
Additionally refactor pte_free() & pte_free_kernel() into common code
between ppc32 & ppc64.

Implement lockless get_user_pages_fast for 64-bit powerpc.
Page table existence is guaranteed with RCU, and speculative page references
are used to take a reference to the pages without having a prior existence
guarantee on them.

Using 64k pages on 64-bit PowerPC systems makes life difficult for
emulators that are trying to emulate an ISA, such as x86, which use a
smaller page size, since the emulator can no longer use the MMU and
the normal system calls for controlling page protections. Of course,
the emulator can emulate the MMU by checking and possibly remapping
the address for each memory access in software, but that is pretty
slow.
This provides a facility for such programs to control the access
permissions on individual 4k sub-pages of 64k pages. The idea is
that the emulator supplies an array of protection masks to apply to a
specified range of virtual addresses. These masks are applied at the
level where hardware PTEs are inserted into the hardware page table
based on the Linux PTEs, so the Linux PTEs are not affected. Note
that this new mechanism does not allow any access that would otherwise
be prohibited; it can only prohibit accesses that would otherwise be
allowed. This new facility is only available on 64-bit PowerPC and
only when the kernel is configured for 64k pages.
The masks are supplied using a new subpage_prot system call, which
takes a starting virtual address and length, and a pointer to an array
of protection masks in memory. The array has a 32-bit word per 64k
page to be protected; each 32-bit word consists of 16 2-bit fields,
for which 0 allows any access (that is otherwise allowed), 1 prevents
write accesses, and 2 or 3 prevent any access.
Implicit in this is that the regions of the address space that are
protected are switched to use 4k hardware pages rather than 64k
hardware pages (on machines with hardware 64k page support). In fact
the whole process is switched to use 4k hardware pages when the
subpage_prot system call is used, but this could be improved in future
to switch only the affected segments.
The subpage protection bits are stored in a 3 level tree akin to the
page table tree. The top level of this tree is stored in a structure
that is appended to the top level of the page table tree, i.e., the
pgd array. Since it will often only be 32-bit addresses (below 4GB)
that are protected, the pointers to the first four bottom level pages
are also stored in this structure (each bottom level page contains the
protection bits for 1GB of address space), so the protection bits for
addresses below 4GB can be accessed with one fewer loads than those
for higher addresses.

Linus made this suggestion for the x86 merge and this starts the process
for powerpc. We assume that CONFIG_PPC64 implies CONFIG_PPC_MERGE and
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_32 implies CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU.

This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO
space allocations on powerpc64. The main goals are:
- Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible
- Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and
mapped in a single place for PCI bridges
- Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including
hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports,
so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers
that assume IO ports fit in an int.
- Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved
low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there.
I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so
far, that's it :-)
With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in
mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with
explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate
areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs.
This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the
diffstat of that patch :-)
A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace
all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space.
The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from
scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after,
which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI
hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots).
imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive
that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation
is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB
(which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear
down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space.
I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with
the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate
file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of
hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge.
This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs
will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have
worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers
that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper
function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.
