David S. Miller bb7b435388 sparc64: Document the shift counts used to validate linear kernel addresses.
This way we can see exactly what they are derived from, and in particular
how they would change if we were to use a different PAGE_OFFSET value.

David S. Miller 4f93d21d25 sparc64: Support 2GB and 16GB page sizes for kernel linear mappings.
SPARC-T4 supports 2GB pages.

So convert kpte_linear_bitmap into an array of 2-bit values which
index into kern_linear_pte_xor.

Now kern_linear_pte_xor is used for 4 page size aligned regions,
4MB, 256MB, 2GB, and 16GB respectively.

Enabling 2GB pages is currently hardcoded using a check against
sun4v_chip_type.  In the future this will be done more cleanly
by interrogating the machine description which is the correct
way to determine this kind of thing.

David Howells 49a7f04a4b Move all declarations of free_initmem() to linux/mm.h
Move all declarations of free_initmem() to linux/mm.h so that there's only one
and it's used by everything.

David S. Miller bffbc94a4d sparc64: Fix definition of VMEMMAP_SIZE.
This was the cause of various boot failures on V480, V880, etc.
systems.

Kernel image memory was being overwritten because the vmemmap[]
array was being sized to small.  So if you had physical memory
addresses past a certain point, the early bootup would spam
all over variables in the kernel data section.

The vmemmap mappings map page structs, not page struct pointers.
And that was the key thinko in the macro definition.

This was fixable thanks to the help, reports, and tireless patience
of Hermann Lauer.

David S. Miller d8ed1d43e1 sparc64: Validate linear D-TLB misses.
When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any
virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses.  But with kgdb, kernel
address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary
crap.

So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory
that actually exists.

In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap
into the kernel image.  And in order to make that less expensive we
make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is
decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit
physical address space.  We can do this because bit 41 indicates
"I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges.

The result of this is that:

1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size

2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap

We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated
once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have
crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such.

If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal
inside of the cpu.  So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu
will be out of trap levels and enter RED state.

To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check
to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set.  We
could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an
unnecessary extra memory reference.

On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations
into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB
misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks
in the TLB miss path.

Sam Ravnborg 27137e5285 sparc,sparc64: unify mm/
- move all sparc64/mm/ files to arch/sparc/mm/
- commonly named files are named _64.c
- add files to sparc/mm/Makefile preserving link order
- delete now unused sparc64/mm/Makefile
- sparc64 now finds mm/ in sparc
