commit db3a528db41caaa6dfd4c64e9f5efb1c81a80467 upstream.

In preparation for the following patch which will fix an issue on
the 8xx by re-using the 'slices', this patch enhances the
'slices' implementation to support 32 bits CPUs.

On PPC32, the address space is limited to 4Gbytes, hence only the low
slices will be used.

The high slices use bitmaps. As bitmap functions are not prepared to
handle bitmaps of size 0, this patch ensures that bitmap functions
are called only when SLICE_NUM_HIGH is not nul.

In preparation for the following patch which will enhance 'slices'
for supporting PPC32 in order to fix an issue on hugepages on 8xx,
this patch takes out of page*.h all bits related to 'slices' and put
them into newly created slice.h header files.
While common parts go into asm/slice.h, subarch specific
parts go into respective books3s/64/slice.c and nohash/64/slice.c

To support memory keys, we moved the hash pte slot information to the
second half of the page table. This was ok with PTE entries at level
4 (PTE page) and level 3 (PMD). We already allocate larger page table
pages at those levels to accomodate extra details. For level 4 we
already have the extra space which was used to track 4k hash page
table entry details and at level 3 the extra space was allocated to
track the THP details.

With hugetlbfs PTE, we used this extra space at the PMD level to store
the slot details. But we also support hugetlbfs PTE at PUD level for
16GB pages and PUD level page didn't allocate extra space. This
resulted in memory corruption.

Fix this by allocating extra space at PUD level when HUGETLB is
enabled.

<title>powerpc/8xx: Remove _PAGE_USER and handle user access at PMD level</title>

<id>urn:sha1:de0f93873937e999fadaba011d368bc042af37b2</id>
<content type='text'>
As Linux kernel separates KERNEL and USER address spaces, there is
therefore no need to flag USER access at page level.

Today, the 8xx TLB handlers already handle user access in the L1 entry
through Access Protection Groups, it is then natural to move the user
access handling at PMD level once _PAGE_NA allows to handle PAGE_NONE
protection without _PAGE_USER

In the mean time, as we free up one bit in the PTE, we can use it to
include SPS (page size flag) in the PTE and avoid handling it at every
TLB miss hence removing special handling based on compiled page size.

For _PAGE_EXEC, we rework it to use PP PTE bits, avoiding the copy
of _PAGE_EXEC bit into the L1 entry. Unfortunatly we are not
able to put it at the correct location as it conflicts with
NA/RO/RW bits for data entries.

Upper bits of APG in L1 entry overlap with PMD base address. In
order to avoid having to filter that out, we set up all groups so that
upper bits can have any value.

Today, PAGE_NONE is defined as a page not having _PAGE_USER.
In some circunstances, when the CPU supports it, it might be
better to be able to flag a page with NO ACCESS.

In a following patch, the 8xx will switch user access being flagged
in the PMD, therefore it will not be possible anymore to use
_PAGE_USER as a way to flag a page with no access.

commit ac29c64089b74 ("powerpc/mm: Replace _PAGE_USER with
_PAGE_PRIVILEGED") introduced _PAGE_PRIVILEGED for BOOK3S/64

This patch generalises _PAGE_PRIVILEGED for all CPUs, allowing
to have either _PAGE_PRIVILEGED or _PAGE_USER or both.

PPC_8xx has a _PAGE_SHARED flag which is set for and only for
all non user pages. Lets rename it _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to remove
confusion as it has nothing to do with Linux shared pages.

On BookE, there's a _PAGE_BAP_SR which has to be set for kernel
pages: defining _PAGE_PRIVILEGED as _PAGE_BAP_SR will make
this generic

_PAGE_WRITETHRU is only used in:
* AMIGA_Z2RAM block driver which is never activated on powerPC
* Video/FB driver which is for PPC_PMAC

Therefore, no need to spend time in 8xx TLB miss handlers for
handling it.

And by removing it, we free up bit 20 which then avoids having
to clear it on each TLB miss.

<title>powerpc/mm: Add proper pte access check helper for other platforms</title>

pte_access_premitted get called in get_user_pages_fast path. If we
have marked the pte PROT_NONE, we should not allow a read access on
the address. With the current implementation we are not checking the
READ and only check for WRITE. This is needed on archs like ppc64 that
implement PROT_NONE using _PAGE_USER access instead of _PAGE_PRESENT.
Also add pte_user check just to make sure we are not accessing kernel
mapping.

Even though there is code duplication, keeping the low level pte
accessors different for different platforms helps in code readability.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
  KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
  think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.

  Non-highlights:

   - Five fixes for the &gt;128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
     in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
     with x86.

  Highlights:

   - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
     true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.

   - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.

   - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
     can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.

   - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
     to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.

   - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
     some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).

   - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
     some Power9 revisions.

   - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
     CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.

   - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
     for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
     to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.

   - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
     using transactional memory.

   - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
     Power9.

   - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
     Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
     handles requests.

   - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

<content type='text'>
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 indicates support for the "standard" powerpc MMU
on 64-bit CPUs. The "standard" MMU refers to the hash page table MMU
found in "server" processors, from IBM mainly.

Currently CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is == CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64. While it's
annoying to have two symbols that always have the same value, it's not
quite annoying enough to bother removing one.

However with the arrival of Power9, we now have the situation where
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is enabled, but the kernel is running using the
Radix MMU - *not* the "standard" MMU. So it is now actively confusing
to use it, because it implies that code is disabled or inactive when
the Radix MMU is in use, however that is not necessarily true.

So s/CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64/CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/, and do some minor
formatting updates of some of the affected lines.

This will be a pain for backports, but c'est la vie.
