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.

In case other architectures require RCU freed page-tables to implement
gup_fast() and software filled hashes and similar things, provide the
means to do so by moving the logic into generic code.

Fix up powerpc to the new mmu_gather stuff.
PPC has an extra batching queue to RCU free the actual pagetable
allocations, use the ARCH extentions for that for now.
For the ppc64_tlb_batch, which tracks the vaddrs to unhash from the
hardware hash-table, keep using per-cpu arrays but flush on context switch
and use a TLF bit to track the lazy_mmu state.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Currently we have a fair bit of rather fiddly code to manage the
various kmem_caches used to store page tables of various levels. We
generally have two caches holding some combination of PGD, PUD and PMD
tables, plus several more for the special hugepage pagetables.
This patch cleans this all up by taking a different approach. Rather
than the caches being designated as for PUDs or for hugeptes for 16M
pages, the caches are simply allocated to be a specific size. Thus
sharing of caches between different types/levels of pagetables happens
naturally. The pagetable size, where needed, is passed around encoded
in the same way as {PGD,PUD,PMD}_INDEX_SIZE; that is n where the
pagetable contains 2^n pointers.

running incredibly slow (hours to get to a shell, even!).
I tracked it down to commit 8d30c14cab30d405a05f2aaceda1e9ad57800f36,
that patch removed a work-around for the 8xx. Adding it
back makes my problem go away.

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

That patch used to just add a hook to page table flushing but
pulling that string brought out a whole bunch of issues, so it
now does that and more:
- We now make the RCU batching of page freeing SMP only, as I
believe it was intended initially. We make a few more things compile
to nothing on !CONFIG_SMP
- Some macros are turned into functions, though that forced me to
out of line a few stuffs due to unsolvable include depenencies,
however it's probably better that way anyway, it's not -that-
critical code path.
- 32-bit didn't call pte_free_finish() on tlb_flush() which means
that it wouldn't push out the batch to RCU for delayed freeing when
a bunch of page tables have been freed, they would just stay in there
until the batch gets full.
64-bit BookE will use that hook to maintain the virtually linear
page tables or the indirect entries in the TLB when using the
HW loader.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, an assertion is made when changing the protection
flags of a PTE that the PTE is locked. Huge pages use a different pagetable
format and the assertion is bogus and will always trigger with a bug looking

This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC.
The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type:
- Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it
at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages
on exec faults.
- Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and
64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache().
- Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on
exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does.
That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache()
is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before
we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but
I think it has bitten us in the past.
Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least
one more page fault.
This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites,
though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call
sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags()
which joins the former in pgtable.c
The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the
flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us
to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation
more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later).
If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit
the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags()
to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make
this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path
is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time.
For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(),
thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache
is clean.
For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism
for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we
use _PAGE_EXEC.
This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms
