Aneesh Kumar K.V e148315852 powerpc/mm: Change the swap encoding in pte.
Current swap encoding in pte can't support large pfns
above 4TB. Change the swap encoding such that we put
the swap type in the PTE bits. Also add build checks
to make sure we don't overlap with HPTEFLAGS.

Kirill A. Shutemov 780fc5642f powerpc: drop _PAGE_FILE and pte_file()-related helpers
We've replaced remap_file_pages(2) implementation with emulation.  Nobody
creates non-linear mapping anymore.

Mel Gorman 21d9ee3eda mm: remove remaining references to NUMA hinting bits and helpers
This patch removes the NUMA PTE bits and associated helpers.  As a
side-effect it increases the maximum possible swap space on x86-64.

One potential source of problems is races between the marking of PTEs
PROT_NONE, NUMA hinting faults and migration.  It must be guaranteed that
a PTE being protected is not faulted in parallel, seen as a pte_none and
corrupting memory.  The base case is safe but transhuge has problems in
the past due to an different migration mechanism and a dependance on page
lock to serialise migrations and warrants a closer look.

task_work hinting update			parallel fault
------------------------			--------------
change_pmd_range
  change_huge_pmd
    __pmd_trans_huge_lock
      pmdp_get_and_clear
						__handle_mm_fault
						pmd_none
						  do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page
						  read? pmd_lock blocks until hinting complete, fail !pmd_none test
						  write? __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page acquires pmd_lock, checks pmd_none
      pmd_modify
      set_pmd_at

task_work hinting update			parallel migration
------------------------			------------------
change_pmd_range
  change_huge_pmd
    __pmd_trans_huge_lock
      pmdp_get_and_clear
						__handle_mm_fault
						  do_huge_pmd_numa_page
						    migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page
						    pmd_lock waits for updates to complete, recheck pmd_same
      pmd_modify
      set_pmd_at

Both of those are safe and the case where a transhuge page is inserted
during a protection update is unchanged.  The case where two processes try
migrating at the same time is unchanged by this series so should still be
ok.  I could not find a case where we are accidentally depending on the
PTE not being cleared and flushed.  If one is missed, it'll manifest as
corruption problems that start triggering shortly after this series is
merged and only happen when NUMA balancing is enabled.

Aneesh Kumar K.V c34a51ce49 powerpc/mm: Enable _PAGE_NUMA for book3s
We steal the _PAGE_COHERENCE bit and use that for indicating NUMA ptes.

Aneesh Kumar K.V c8c06f5a0d powerpc/mm: Free up _PAGE_COHERENCE for numa fault use later
Set  memory coherence always on hash64 config. If
a platform cannot have memory coherence always set they
can infer that from _PAGE_NO_CACHE and _PAGE_WRITETHRU
like in lpar. So we dont' really need a separate bit
for tracking _PAGE_COHERENCE.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt a033a487f8 powerpc/mm: Add option for non-atomic PTE updates to ppc64

support for Book3E 64-bit support

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 8d1cf34e7a powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination definitions
This patch tweaks the way some PTE bit combinations are defined, in such a
way that the 32 and 64-bit variant become almost identical and that will
make it easier to bring in a new common pte-* file for the new variant
of the Book3-E support.

The combination of bits defining access to kernel pages are now clearly
separated from the combination used by userspace and the core VM. The
resulting generated code should remain identical unless I made a mistake.

Note: While at it, I removed a non-sensical statement related to CONFIG_KGDB
in ppc_mmu_32.c which could cause kernel mappings to be user accessible when
that option is enabled. Probably something that bitrot.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt c605782b1c powerpc/mm: Split the various pgtable-* headers based on MMU type
This patch moves the definition of the PTE format for each MMU type
to separate files instead of all in one file. This improves overall
maintainability and will make it easier to add new types.

On 64-bit, additionally, I've separated the headers relative to the
format of the page table tree (3 vs. 4 levels for 64K vs 4K pages)
from the headers specific to the PTE format for hash based processors,
this will make it easier to add support for Book3 "E" 64-bit
implementations.

There are still some type-related ifdef's in the generic headers,
we might remove them in the long run, but this patch shouldn't result
in any code change, -hopefully- just definitions being moved around.
