Various e500 core have different cache architecture, so they
need different cache flush operations. Therefore, add a callback
function cpu_flush_caches to the struct cpu_spec. The cache flush
operation for the specific kind of e500 is selected at init time.
The callback function will flush all caches inside the current cpu.

The UP only lazy floating point and vector optimisations were written
back when SMP was not common, and neither glibc nor gcc used vector
instructions. Now SMP is very common, glibc aggressively uses vector
instructions and gcc autovectorises.
We want to add new optimisations that apply to both UP and SMP, but
in preparation for that remove these UP only optimisations.

Book3E specification defines shared interrupt numbers for SPE and AltiVec
units. Still SPE is present in e200/e500v2 cores while AltiVec is present in
e6500 core. So we can currently decide at compile-time which unit to support
exclusively. As Alexander Graf suggested, this will improve code readability
especially in KVM.
Use distinct defines to identify SPE/AltiVec interrupt numbers, reverting
c58ce397 and 6b310fc5 patches that added common defines.

When booting above the 64M for a secondary cpu, we also face the
same issue as the boot cpu that the PAGE_OFFSET map two different
physical address for the init tlb and the final map. So we have to use
switch_to_as1/restore_to_as0 between the conversion of these two
maps. When restoring to as0 for a secondary cpu, we only need to
return to the caller. So add a new parameter for function
restore_to_as0 for this purpose.
Use LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC to get the address of variables which may
be used before we set the final map in cams for the secondary cpu.
Move the setting of cams a bit earlier in order to avoid the
unnecessary using of LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC.

relocatable kernel
This is always true for a non-relocatable kernel. Otherwise the kernel
would get stuck. But for a relocatable kernel, it seems a little
complicated. When booting a relocatable kernel, we just align the
kernel start addr to 64M and map the PAGE_OFFSET from there. The
relocation will base on this virtual address. But if this address
is not the same as the memstart_addr, we will have to change the
map of PAGE_OFFSET to the real memstart_addr and do another relocation
again.

We use the tlb1 entries to map low mem to the kernel space. In the
current code, it assumes that the first tlb entry would cover the
kernel image. But this is not true for some special cases, such as
when we run a relocatable kernel above the 64M or set
CONFIG_KERNEL_START above 64M. So we choose to switch to address
space 1 before setting these tlb entries.

This is based on the codes in the head_44x.S. The difference is that
the init tlb size we used is 64M. With this patch we can only load the
kernel at address between memstart_addr ~ memstart_addr + 64M. We will
fix this restriction in the following patches.

The e500v1 doesn't implement the MAS7, so we should avoid to access

access to MAS7 are protected by either CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT or

faster dirty logging, preventing the watchdog from killing a stopped
guest, module autoload, a new MSI ABI, and some minor optimizations

Regarding the new (for kvm) rebaseless workflow, some of the patches

others are true pulls. In either case the signoffs should be correct
now."

We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before
calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as
a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before
getting into the debugger.
We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled
such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could
be unexpected.
This changes our code to behave more like other architectures,
and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with
interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from
within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it.
While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful
trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86.
Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get
clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common
macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases.

The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based
on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This
approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size
is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used
currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method.
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the
dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series.
This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for
platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with
smaller TLB size).
Changes since v3:
* Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is
either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer)

powerpc/32: Pass device tree address as u64 to machine_init

u64 is used rather than phys_addr_t to keep things simple, as
this is called from assembly code.
Update callers to pass a 64-bit address in r3/r4. Other unused
register assignments that were once parameters to machine_init
are dropped.
For FSL BookE, look up the physical address of the device tree from the
effective address passed in r3 by the loader. This is required for
situations where memory does not start at zero (due to AMP or IOMMU-less
virtualization), and thus the IMA doesn't start at zero, and thus the
device tree effective address does not equal the physical address.

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.

giveup_spe() saves the SPE state which is protected by MSR[SPE].
However, modifying SPEFSCR does not trap when MSR[SPE]=0.
And since SPEFSCR is already saved/restored in _switch(),
not all the callers want to save SPEFSCR again.
Thus, saving SPEFSCR should not belong to giveup_spe().
This patch moves SPEFSCR saving to flush_spe_to_thread(),
and cleans up the caller that needs to save SPEFSCR accordingly.

as a guest OS - SPRGs4-7 do not have guest versions.

switched off. The code borrows the initial MMU-setup code to create the
identical mapping mapping. The only difference to the original boot code

The kexec code maps the first 2 GiB of memory in 256 MiB steps. This

During boot we change the mapping a few times until we have a "defined"
mapping. During this procedure a small 4KiB mapping is created and after
that one a 64MiB. Currently the offset of the 4KiB page in that we run
is zero because the complete startup up code is in first page which
starts at RPN zero.
If the code is recycled and moved to another location then its execution
will fail because the start address in 64 MiB mapping is computed
wrongly. It does not consider the offset to the page from the begin of
the memory.
This patch fixes this. Usually (system boot) r25 is zero so this does
not change anything unless the code is recycled.

In CONFIG_PTE_64BIT the PTE format has unique permission bits for user
and supervisor execute. However on !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we overload the
supervisor bit to imply user execute with _PAGE_USER set. This allows
us to use the same permission check mask for user or supervisor code on
!CONFIG_PTE_64BIT.
However, on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we map _PAGE_EXEC to _PAGE_BAP_UX so we
need a different permission mask based on the fault coming from a kernel
address or user space.
Without unique permission masks we see issues like the following with
modules:

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.
