This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute
permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only
defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
#ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
hopefully should cover everything.
The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
it already was in that area due to that change.
I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
execute permissions... Unless I missed something

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.
We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.
This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.
The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head
code from ".text.head" to ".head.text". Since this commit changes all
users in the architecture, this change should be harmless.

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.

After discussing with chip designers, it appears that it's not
necessary to set G everywhere on 440 cores. The various core
errata related to prefetch should be sorted out by firmware by
disabling icache prefetching in CCR0. We add the workaround to
the kernel however just in case oooold firmwares don't do it.
This is valid for -all- 4xx core variants. Later ones hard wire
the absence of prefetch but it doesn't harm to clear the bits
in CCR0 (they should already be cleared anyway).
We still leave G=1 on the linear mapping for now, we need to
stop over-mapping RAM to be able to remove it.

Currently, we never set _PAGE_COHERENT in the PTEs, we just OR it in
in the hash code based on some CPU feature bit. We also manipulate
_PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_GUARDED by hand in all sorts of places.
This changes the logic so that instead, the PTE now contains
_PAGE_COHERENT for all normal RAM pages thay have I = 0 on platforms
that need it. The hash code clears it if the feature bit is not set.
It also adds some clean accessors to setup various valid combinations
of access flags and change various bits of code to use them instead.
This should help having the PTE actually containing the bit
combinations that we really want.
I also removed _PAGE_GUARDED from _PAGE_BASE on 44x and instead
set it explicitely from the TLB miss. I will ultimately remove it
completely as it appears that it might not be needed after all
but in the meantime, having it in the TLB miss makes things a
lot easier.

This is some preliminary work to improve TLB management on SW loaded
TLB powerpc platforms. This introduce support for non-atomic PTE
operations in pgtable-ppc32.h and removes write back to the PTE from
the TLB miss handlers. In addition, the DSI interrupt code no longer
tries to fixup write permission, this is left to generic code, and
_PAGE_HWWRITE is gone.

A recent commit added support for the new 440x6 and 464 cores that have the
added WL1, IL1I, IL1D, IL2I, and ILD2 bits for the caching attributes in the
TLBs. The new bits were cleared in the finish_tlb_load function, however a
similar bit of code was missed in the DataStorage interrupt vector.

For the additonal exception levels (critical, debug, machine check) on
40x/book-e we were using "static" allocations of the stack in the
associated head.S.
Move to a runtime allocation to make the code a bit easier to read as
we mimic how we handle IRQ stacks. Its also a bit easier to setup the
stack with a "dummy" thread_info in C code.

The new 440x6 core used on AMCC 460EX/GT introduces new storage attibure
fields to the TLB2 word. Those are:
Bit 11 12 13 14 15
WL1 IL1I IL1D IL2I IL2D
With these bits the cache (L1 and L2) can be configured in a more flexible
way, instruction- and data-cache independently now. The "old" I and W bits
are still available and setting these old bits will automically set these
new bits too (for backward compatibilty).
The current code does not clear these fields resulting in disabling the cache
by chance. This patch now makes sure that these new bits are cleared when
the TLB2 word is written.

The architecture allows for "Book-E" style debug interrupts to either go
to critial interrupts of their own debug interrupt level. To allow for
a dynamic kernel to support machines of either type we want to be able to
compile in the interrupt handling code for both exception levels.
Towards this goal we renamed the debug handling macros to specify the
interrupt level in their name (DEBUG_CRIT_EXCEPTION/DebugCrit and
DEBUG_DEBUG_EXCEPTION/DebugDebug).
Additionally, on the Freescale Book-e parts we expanded the exception
stacks to cover the maximum case of needing three exception stacks (normal,
machine check and debug).
There is some kernel text space optimization to be gained if a kernel is
configured for a specific Freescale implementation but we aren't handling
that now to allow for the single kernel image support.

This adds a cputable function pointer for the CPU-side machine
check handling. The semantic is still the same as the old one,
the one in ppc_md. overrides the one in cputable, though
ultimately we'll want to change that so the CPU gets first.
This removes CONFIG_440A which was a problem for multiplatform
kernels and instead fixes up the IVOR at runtime from a setup_cpu
function. The "A" version of the machine check also tweaks the
regs->trap value to differenciate the 2 versions at the C level.

Move to using PAGE_OFFSET instead of TASK_SIZE or KERNELBASE value on

under ifdefs. Since we should support more then one board
in the same kernel, we move FPU initialization code from head_44x
to cpu_setup_44x and add cpu_setup callbacks for 440EP(x).

This prepares for Ebony/440 support by creating an
arch/powerpc/platforms/44x directory. It is populated with a single
misc_44x.S file, into which is moved the 44x specific reset code from
head_44x.S (on the grounds that we should really stop clogging up the
head_* files with random asm helper routines).
At the same time, we disable the (empty save Kconfig and Makefile)
arch/powerpc/platforms/4xx directory from the arch/powerpc/platforms
Makefile. Contrary to the comment in
arch/powerpc/platforms/4xx/Makefile, attempting to build such an empty
Makefile will fail, thus breaking compile for the 44x platforms we're
about to add. It can go back in once we start porting some of the 40x
platforms (and thus it becomes non-empty).

This patch takes the definitions for the PPC44x MMU (a software loaded
TLB) from asm-ppc/mmu.h, cleans them up of things no longer necessary
in arch/powerpc and puts them in a new asm-powerpc/mmu_44x.h file. It
also substantially simplifies arch/powerpc/mm/44x_mmu.c and makes a
couple of small fixes necessary for the 44x MMU code to build and work
properly in arch/powerpc.

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
