d1acb4210a [SPARC64]: Get DEBUG_PAGEALLOC working again.
We have to make sure to use base-pagesize TLB entries even during the
early transition period where we need TLB miss handling but don't have
the kernel page tables setup yet for the linear region.

Also, it is necessary therefore to not use the 4MB TSB for these
translations, and instead use the normal kernel TSB.  This allows us
to also get rid of the 4MB tsb for debug builds which shrinks the
kernel a little bit.

nr_free_pages is now a simple access to a global variable.  Make it a macro

The nr_free_pages now requires vmstat.h to be included.  There is one
occurrence in power management where we need to add the include.  Directly

39dde65c99 [PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb page
Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken.  This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.

The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments.  In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant.  For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.

With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio.  One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency.  These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

715a0ecc29 [SPARC64]: Kill bogus check from bootmem_init().
There is an ancient and totally incorrect sanity check being
done on the ramdisk location.  The check assumes that the
kernel is always loaded to physical address zero, which is
wrong.  It was trying to validate the ramdisk value by saying that
if it fell within the kernel image address range it must be wrong.

Anyways, kill this because it actually creates problems.  The
'ramdisk_image' should always be adjusted down by KERNBASE.
SILO can easily put the ramdisk in a location which causes
this test to trigger, breaking things.

47f2c3604f [SPARC64]: Fix X server hangs due to large pages.
This problem was introduced by changeset
14778d9072

Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to
propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we
make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range().

It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage
mapping on a fault.  Adding special handling for this would add
considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add().  So let's just side-step
the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by
io_remap_pfn_range().

The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of
io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that.

Much thanks to Mikael Pettersson for tracking down this problem and
testing debug patches.

c2a5a46be4 [SPARC64]: Fix for Niagara memory corruption.
On some sun4v systems, after netboot the ethernet controller and it's
DMA mappings can be left active.  The net result is that the kernel
can end up using memory the ethernet controller will continue to DMA
into, resulting in corruption.

To deal with this, we are more careful about importing IOMMU
translations which OBP has left in the IO-TLB.  If the mapping maps
into an area the firmware claimed was free and available memory for
the kernel to use, we demap instead of import that IOMMU entry.

This is going to cause the network chip to take a PCI master abort on
the next DMA it attempts, if it has been left going like this.  All
tests show that this is handled properly by the PCI layer and the e1000
drivers.

42b88befd6 [PATCH] hugepage: is_aligned_hugepage_range() cleanup
Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced
is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to
verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping.
is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement
prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own.

Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same
implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range().  On powerpc, which
implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never
used.

In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it
suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range,
whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed).

This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range().  Instead
prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly.  Most archs use the default
version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a
hugepage.  ia64 and powerpc define custom versions.  The ia64 one simply
checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to
being suitably aligned.  The powerpc version (just as previously) checks
for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to
set up new areas for use by hugepages.

No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions on ppc64 (POWER5 LPAR).

7a1ac52641 [SPARC64]: Fix and re-enable dynamic TSB sizing.
This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases.
The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged
them all up here.

1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB
   switching to and from kernel threads.

   We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus
   use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event.

   There is a big comment now in that function describing
   exactly how it can happen.

2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be
   guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock.  This makes
   page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both
   TSB growing and TLB context changes.

3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault
   processing.  Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but
   that is deadlock prone.  At the end of do_sparc64_fault()
   we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow
   sequence.  We also have dropped the address space semaphore.

While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine
and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file.  This piece of
code is quite time critical.

There are some small negative side effects to this code which
can be improved upon.  In particular we grab the mm->context.lock
even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's
a bit excessive.  We can get rid of that locking, and the same
lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around
the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer
and tsb_nentries value.  That would work because anyone growing
the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the
TSB change cross call.

I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in
right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description
is here for reference.

This code seems very solid now.  It passes several parallel GCC
bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is
a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel.  That puts
about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu
migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity,
incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine
real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test
system. :-)

17b0e199a1 [SPARC64]: Fix 32-bit truncation which broke sparsemem.
The page->flags manipulations done by the D-cache dirty
state tracking was broken because the constants were not
marked with "UL" to make them 64-bit, which means we were
clobbering the upper 32-bits of page->flags all the time.

This doesn't jive well with sparsemem which stores the
section and indexing information in the top 32-bits of
page->flags.

This is yet another sparc64 bug which has been with us
forever.

While we're here, tidy up some things in bootmem_init()
and paginig_init():

1) Pass min_low_pfn to init_bootmem_node(), it's identical
   to (phys_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) but we should use consistent
   with the variable names we print in CONFIG_BOOTMEM_DEBUG

2) max_mapnr, although no longer used, was being set
   inaccurately, we shouldn't subtract pfn_base any more.

3) All the games with phys_base in the zones_*[] arrays
   we pass to free_area_init_node() are no longer necessary.

7a591cfe4e [SPARC64]: Avoid dcache-dirty page state management on sun4v.
It is totally wasted work, since we have no D-cache aliasing
issues on sun4v.

2a3a5f5ddb [SPARC64]: Bulletproof hypervisor TLB flushing.
Check TLB flush hypervisor calls for errors and report them.

Pass HV_MMU_ALL always for now, we can add back the optimization
to avoid the I-TLB flush later.

Always explicitly page align the virtual address arguments.

77b838fa1e [SPARC64]: destroy_context() needs to disable interrupts.
get_new_mmu_context() can be invoked from interrupt context
now for the new SMP version wrap handling.

So disable interrupt while taking ctx_alloc_lock in destroy_context()
so we don't deadlock.

a0663a79ad [SPARC64]: Fix TLB context allocation with SMT style shared TLBs.
The context allocation scheme we use depends upon there being a 1<-->1
mapping from cpu to physical TLB for correctness.  Chips like Niagara
break this assumption.

So what we do is notify all cpus with a cross call when the context
version number changes, and if necessary this makes them allocate
a valid context for the address space they are running at the time.

Stress tested with make -j1024, make -j2048, and make -j4096 kernel
builds on a 32-strand, 8 core, T2000 with 16GB of ram.

d7744a0950 [SPARC64]: Create a seperate kernel TSB for 4MB/256MB mappings.
It can map all of the linear kernel mappings with zero TSB hash
conflicts for systems with 16GB or less ram.  In such cases, on
SUN4V, once we load up this TSB the first time with all the
mappings, we never take a linear kernel mapping TLB miss ever
again, the hypervisor handles them all.

9cc3a1ac9a [SPARC64]: Make use of Niagara 256MB PTEs for kernel mappings.
We use a bitmap, one bit for every 256MB of memory.  If the
bit is set we can use a 256MB PTE for linear mappings, else
we have to use a 4MB PTE.

SUN4V support is there, and we can very easily add support
for Panther cpu 256MB PTEs in the future.

8b23427441 [SPARC64]: More TLB/TSB handling fixes.
The SUN4V convention with non-shared TSBs is that the context
bit of the TAG is clear.  So we have to choose an "invalid"
bit and initialize new TSBs appropriately.  Otherwise a zero
TAG looks "valid".

Make sure, for the window fixup cases, that we use the right
global registers and that we don't potentially trample on
the live global registers in etrap/rtrap handling (%g2 and
%g6) and that we put the missing virtual address properly
in %g5.
