activate_mm() and switch_mm() call get_new_mmu_context() which in turn
can enable the HTW before the entryhi is changed with the new ASID.
Since the latter will enable the HTW in local_flush_tlb_all(),
then there is a small timing window where the HTW is running with the
new ASID but with an old pgd since the TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP_PGD
hasn't assigned a new one yet. In order to prevent that, we introduce a
simple htw counter to avoid starting HTW accidentally due to nested
htw_{start,stop}() sequences. Moreover, since various IPI calls can
enforce TLB flushing operations on a different core, such an operation
may interrupt another htw_{stop,start} in progress leading inconsistent
updates of the htw_seq variable. In order to avoid that, we disable the
interrupts whenever we update that variable.

Whenever we modify a page table entry, we need to ensure that the HTW
will not fetch a stable entry. And for that to happen we need to ensure
that HTW is stopped before we modify the said entry otherwise the HTW
may already be in the process of reading that entry and fetching the
old information. As a result of which, we replace the htw_reset() calls
with htw_{stop,start} in more appropriate places. This also removes the
remaining users of htw_reset() and as a result we drop that macro

Previously, the pgprot_writecombine function was simply defined
as pgprot_uncached in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h. This is not
optimal for cores that can actually do write-combine memory writes
so define this function to take into account the core's cache coherency
attribute to achieve such behavior.

Multicore MIPSes without I/D hardware coherency suffered from a race
condition in the page fault handler. The page table entry was
published before any pending lazy D-cache flush was committed, hence
it allowed execution of stale page cache data by other VPEs in the
system.
To make the cache handling safe we need to perform flushing already in
the set_pte_at function. MIPSes without coherent I-caches can get a
small increase in flushes due to the unavailability of the execute
flag in set_pte_at.
[ralf@linux-mips.org: outlining set_pte_at() saves a good k in a test
build, so I moved its definition from pgtable.h to cache.c.]

The Hardware Page Table Walker aims to speed up TLB refill exceptions
by handling them in the hardware level instead of having a software
TLB refill handler. However, a TLB refill exception can still be
thrown in certain cases such as, synchronus exceptions, or address
translation or memory errors during the HTW operation. As a result of
which, HTW must not be considered a complete replacement for the TLB
refill software handler, but rather a fast-path for it.
For HTW to work, the PWBase register must contain the task's page
global directory address so the HTW will kick in on TLB refill
exceptions.
Due to HTW being a separate engine embedded deep in the CPU pipeline,
we need to restart the HTW everytime a PTE changes to avoid HTW
fetching a old entry from the page tables. It's also necessary to
restart the HTW on context switches to prevent it from fetching a
page from the previous process. Finally, since HTW is using the
entryhi register to write the translations to the TLB, it's necessary
to stop the HTW whenever the entryhi changes (eg for tlb probe
perations) and enable it back afterwards.
== Performance ==
The following trivial test was used to measure the performance of the
HTW. Using the same root filesystem, the following command was used
to measure the number of tlb refill handler executions with and
without (using 'nohtw' kernel parameter) HTW support. The kernel was
modified to use a scratch register as a counter for the TLB refill
exceptions.
find /usr -type f -exec ls -lh {} \;
HTW Enabled:
TLB refill exceptions: 12306
HTW Disabled:
TLB refill exceptions: 17805

This is identical to kmap_coherent apart from the cache coherency
attribute used for the TLB entry, so kmap_coherent is abstracted to
kmap_prot which is then called for both kmap_coherent &
kmap_noncoherent. This will be used by a subsequent patch.

This patch introduced topdown mmap support in user process address
space allocation policy.
Recently, we ran some large applications that use mmap heavily and
lead to OOM due to inflexible mmap allocation policy on MIPS32.
Since most other major archs supported it for years, it is reasonable
to follow the trend and reduce the pain of porting applications.
Due to cache aliasing concern, arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() and
other helper functions are implemented in arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c.

The SmartMIPS ASE specifies how Read Inhibit (RI) and eXecute Inhibit
(XI) bits in the page tables work. The upper two bits of EntryLo{0,1}
are RI and XI when the feature is enabled in the PageGrain register.
SmartMIPS only covers 32-bit systems. Cavium Octeon+ extends this to
64-bit systems by continuing to place the RI and XI bits in the top of
EntryLo even when EntryLo is 64-bits wide.
Because we need to carry the RI and XI bits in the PTE, the layout of
the PTE is changed. There is a two instruction overhead in the TLB
refill hot path to get the EntryLo bits into the proper position.
Also the TLB load exception has to probe the TLB to check if RI or XI
caused the exception.
Also of note is that the layout of the PTE bits is done at compile and
runtime rather than statically. In the 32-bit case this allows for
the same number of PFN bits as before the patch as the _PAGE_HUGE is
not supported in 32-bit kernels (we have _PAGE_NO_EXEC and
_PAGE_NO_READ instead of _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_HUGE).
The patch is tested on Cavium Octeon+, but should also work on 32-bit
systems with the Smart-MIPS ASE.

On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.
This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().
Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():
On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much
more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
pte_t?
Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:
Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that
-instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
_PAGE_EXEC.
So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

Reinstate anonymous use of ZERO_PAGE to all architectures, not just to
those which __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL: as suggested by Nick Piggin.
Contrary to how I'd imagined it, there's nothing ugly about this, just a
zero_pfn test built into one or another block of vm_normal_page().
But the MIPS ZERO_PAGE-of-many-colours case demands is_zero_pfn() and
my_zero_pfn() inlines. Reinstate its mremap move_pte() shuffling of
ZERO_PAGEs we did from 2.6.17 to 2.6.19? Not unless someone shouts for
that: it would have to take vm_flags to weed out some cases.
