4352fc1b12 sh: Abstracted SH-4A UBC support on hw-breakpoint core.
This is the next big chunk of hw_breakpoint support. This decouples
the SH-4A support from the core and moves it out in to its own stub,
following many of the conventions established with the perf events
layering.

In addition to extending SH-4A support to encapsulate the remainder
of the UBC channels, clock framework support for handling the UBC
interface clock is added as well, allowing for dynamic clock gating.

This also fixes up a regression introduced by the SIGTRAP handling that
broke the ksym_tracer, to the extent that the current support works well
with all of the ksym_tracer/ptrace/kgdb. The kprobes singlestep code will
follow in turn.

With this in place, the remaining UBC variants (SH-2A and SH-4) can now
be trivially plugged in.

5d9b4b19f1 sh: Definitions for 3-level page table layout
If using 64-bit PTEs and 4K pages then each page table has 512 entries
(as opposed to 1024 entries with 32-bit PTEs). Unlike MIPS, SH follows
the convention that all structures in the page table (pgd_t, pmd_t,
pgprot_t, etc) must be the same size. Therefore, 64-bit PTEs require
64-bit PGD entries, etc. Using 2-levels of page tables and 64-bit PTEs
it is only possible to map 1GB of virtual address space.

In order to map all 4GB of virtual address space we need to adopt a
3-level page table layout. This actually works out better for
CONFIG_SUPERH32 because we only waste 2 PGD entries on the P1 and P2
areas (which are untranslated) instead of 256.

445c89514b locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock
The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

pte_write() should check whether the permissions include either the user

Without this patch handle_tlbmiss() doesn't handle faulting in pages
from the P3 area (our vmalloc space) because of a write. Mappings of the
P3 space have the _PAGE_EXT_KERN_WRITE bit but not _PAGE_EXT_USER_WRITE.

This adds preliminary support for the SH-4A UBC to the hw-breakpoints API.
Presently only a single channel is implemented, and the ptrace interface
still needs to be converted. This is the first step to cleaning up the
long-standing UBC mess, making the UBC more generally accessible, and
finally making it SMP safe.

An additional abstraction will be layered on top of this as with the perf
events code to permit the various CPU families to wire up support for
their own specific UBCs, as many variations exist.

2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

d3ea9fa0a5 sh: Minor optimisations to FPU handling
A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular:

 - move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which
   is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field,
   which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to
   be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock().
   This mimics the i386 behaviour.

 - move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out
   of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better
   chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical
   with restore_fpu() and init_fpu().

 - implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can
   unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures.

Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in
particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads,

In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000
context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.

39ac11c160 sh: Improve performance of SH4 versions of copy/clear_user_highpage
The previous implementation of clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage
checked to see if there was a D-cache aliasing issue between the user
and kernel mappings of a page, but if there was they always did a
flush with writeback on the dirtied kernel alias.

However as we now have the ability to map a page into kernel space
with the same cache colour as the user mapping, there is no need to
write back this data.

Currently we also invalidate the kernel alias as a precaution, however
I'm not sure if this is actually required.

Also correct the definition of FIX_CMAP_END so that the mappings created
by kmap_coherent() are actually at the correct colour.

a0458b07c1 sh: add sleazy FPU optimization
sh port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature currently implemented for some architectures
such us i386.

Right now the SH kernel has a 100% lazy fpu behaviour.
This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use.
However for very frequent FPU users...  you take an extra trap every context
switch.
The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: after 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.
After 256 switches, this is reset and the 100% lazy behavior is returned.

Tests with LMbench showed no regression.
I saw a little improvement due to the prefetching (~2%).

The tests below also show that, with this sLeazy patch, indeed,
the number of FPU exceptions is reduced.
To test this. I hacked the lat_ctx LMBench to use the FPU a little more.

626ac8e138 sh64: Fix up the CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG=n build.
sh64 doesn't use GENERIC_BUG, which presently causes the handle_BUG()
code to blow up. Fix up the dependencies and get it all building again.

e9c58fc57b sh: Use the generic I/O port base for slowdown.
This fixes up the build and behaviour for various configurations. Namely
the CONFIG_32BIT cases where legacy mappings do not exist, as well as the
sh64 build.
