ARCv2 MMU is software walked and Linux implements 2 levels of paging: pgd/pte.
Forthcoming hw will have multiple levels, so this change preps mm code
for same. It is also fun to try multi levels even on soft-walked code to
ensure generic mm code is robust to handle.

overview
________

2 levels {pgd, pte} : pmd is folded but pmd_* macros are valid and operate on pgd
3 levels {pgd, pmd, pte}:
  - pud is folded and pud_* macros point to pgd
  - pmd_* macros operate on actual pmd

code changes
____________

1. #include &lt;asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h&gt;

2. Define CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS 3

3a. Define PMD_SHIFT, PMD_SIZE, PMD_MASK, pmd_t
3b. Define pmd_val() which actually deals with pmd
    (pmd_offset(), pmd_index() are provided by generic code)
3c. pmd_alloc_one()/pmd_free() also provided by generic code
    (pmd_populate/pmd_free already exist)

4. Define pud_none(), pud_bad() macros based on generic pud_val() which
   internally pertains to pgd now.
4b. define pud_populate() to just setup pgd

<content type='text'>
So far ARC pgtable_t has not been struct page based to avoid extra
page_address() calls involved. However the differences are down to
noise and get in the way of using generic code, hence this patch.

This also allows us to reuse generic THP depost/withdraw code.

There's some additional consideration for PGDIR_SHIFT in 4K page config.
Now due to page tables being PAGE_SIZE deep only, the address split
can't be really arbitrary.

In the past I've refrained from doing this (at least 2 times) due to the
slight code bloat due to ABI implications of pte_t etc becoming struct

Per ARC ABI, functions return struct via memory and not through register
r0, even if the struct would fit in register(s)

 - caller allocates space on stack and passes the address as first arg
   (r0), shifting rest of args by one

 - callee creates return struct in memory (referenced via r0)

This time around the code actually shrunk slightly (due to subtle
inlining heuristic effects), but still slightly inefficient due to
return values passed through memory. That however seems like a small
cost compared to maintenance burden given the impending new mmu support
for page walk etc

32-bit PAGE_MASK can not be used as a mask for physical addresses
when PAE is enabled. PAGE_MASK_PHYS must be used for physical
addresses instead of PAGE_MASK.

Without this, init gets SIGSEGV if pte_modify was called:

fs/dax.c uses copy_user_page() but ARC does not provide that interface,
resulting in a build error.

Provide copy_user_page() in &lt;asm/page.h&gt;.

<title>arc: use FLATMEM with freeing of unused memory map instead of DISCONTIGMEM</title>
<updated>2020-12-15T20:13:42+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=050b2da268f8fc4f8123f6462c430a61547b2f7b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:050b2da268f8fc4f8123f6462c430a61547b2f7b</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently ARC uses DISCONTIGMEM to cope with sparse physical memory address
space on systems with 2 memory banks. While DISCONTIGMEM avoids wasting
memory on unpopulated memory map, it adds both memory and CPU overhead
relatively to FLATMEM. Moreover, DISCONTINGMEM is generally considered
deprecated.

The obvious replacement for DISCONTIGMEM would be SPARSEMEM, but it is also
less efficient than FLATMEM in pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() conversions.
Besides it requires tuning of SECTION_SIZE which is not trivial for
possible ARC memory configuration.

Since the memory map for both banks is always allocated from the "lowmem"
bank, it is possible to use FLATMEM for two-bank configuration and simply
free the unused hole in the memory map. All is required for that is to
provide ARC-specific pfn_valid() that will take into account actual
physical memory configuration and define HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID.

The resulting kernel image configured with defconfig + HIGHMEM=y is
smaller:

  $ size a/vmlinux b/vmlinux
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  4673503 1245456  279756 6198715  5e95bb a/vmlinux
  4658706 1246864  279756 6185326  5e616e b/vmlinux

  $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter a/vmlinux b/vmlinux
  add/remove: 28/30 grow/shrink: 42/399 up/down: 10986/-29025 (-18039)
  ...
  Total: Before=4709315, After = 4691276, chg -0.38%

Booting nSIM with haps_ns.dts results in the following memory usage
reports:

  a:
  Memory: 1559104K/1572864K available (3531K kernel code, 595K rwdata, 752K rodata, 136K init, 275K bss, 13760K reserved, 0K cma-reserved, 1048576K highmem)

  b:
  Memory: 1559112K/1572864K available (3519K kernel code, 594K rwdata, 752K rodata, 136K init, 280K bss, 13752K reserved, 0K cma-reserved, 1048576K highmem)

<content type='text'>
There are many platforms with exact same value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the
existing VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS.  While here, also define some more
macros with standard VMA access flag combinations that are used
frequently across many platforms.  Apart from simplification, this
reduces code duplication as well.
