If max_phys_bits needs to be > 43 (f.e. for T4 chips), things like
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC stop working because the 3-level page tables only
can cover up to 43 bits.
Another problem is that when we increased MAX_PHYS_ADDRESS_BITS up to
47, several statically allocated tables became enormous.
Compounding this is that we will need to support up to 49 bits of
physical addressing for M7 chips.
The two tables in question are sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap and
kpte_linear_bitmap.
The first holds a bitmap, with 1 bit for each 4MB chunk of physical
memory, indicating whether that chunk actually exists in the machine
and is valid.
The second table is a set of 2-bit values which tell how large of a
mapping (4MB, 256MB, 2GB, 16GB, respectively) we can use at each 256MB
chunk of ram in the system.
These tables are huge and take up an enormous amount of the BSS
section of the sparc64 kernel image. Specifically, the
sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap is 4MB, and the kpte_linear_bitmap is 128K.
So let's solve the space wastage and the DEBUG_PAGEALLOC problem
at the same time, by using the kernel page tables (as designed) to
manage this information.
We have to keep using large mappings when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is disabled,
and we do this by encoding huge PMDs and PUDs.
On a T4-2 with 256GB of ram the kernel page table takes up 16K with
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC disabled and 256MB with it enabled. Furthermore, this
memory is dynamically allocated at run time rather than coded
statically into the kernel image.

As currently coded the KTSB accesses in the kernel only support up to
47 bits of physical addressing.
Adjust the instruction and patching sequence in order to support
arbitrary 64 bits addresses.

This has become necessary with chips that support more than 43-bits
of physical addressing.

On sparc64 "present" and "valid" are seperate PTE bits, this allows us to
naturally distinguish between the user explicitly asking for PROT_NONE
with mprotect() and other situations.
However we weren't handling this properly in the huge PMD paths.
First of all, the page table walker in the TSB miss path only checks
for _PAGE_PMD_HUGE. So the generic pmdp_invalidate() would clear
_PAGE_PRESENT but the TLB miss paths would still load it into the TLB
as a valid huge PMD.
Fix this by clearing the valid bit in pmdp_invalidate(), and also
checking the valid bit in USER_PGTABLE_CHECK_PMD_HUGE using "brgez"
since _PAGE_VALID is bit 63 in both the sun4u and sun4v pte layouts.

Now that we have 64-bits for PMDs we can stop using special encodings
for the huge PMD values, and just put real PTEs in there.
We allocate a _PAGE_PMD_HUGE bit to distinguish between plain PMDs and
huge ones. It is the same for both 4U and 4V PTE layouts.
We also use _PAGE_SPECIAL to indicate the splitting state, since a
huge PMD cannot also be special.
All of the PMD --> PTE translation code disappears, and most of the
huge PMD bit modifications and tests just degenerate into the PTE
operations. In particular USER_PGTABLE_CHECK_PMD_HUGE becomes
trivial.
As a side effect, normal PMDs don't shift the physical address around.
This also speeds up the page table walks in the TLB miss paths since
they don't have to do the shifts any more.
Another non-trivial aspect is that pte_modify() has to be changed
to preserve the _PAGE_PMD_HUGE bits as well as the page size field
of the pte.

To make the page tables compact, we were using 32-bit PGDs and PMDs.
We only had to support <= 43 bits of physical addresses so this was
quite feasible.
In order to support larger physical addresses we have to move to
64-bit PGDs and PMDs.
Most of the changes are straight-forward:
1) {pgd,pmd}_t --> unsigned long
2) Anything that tries to use plain "unsigned int" types with pgd/pmd
values needs to be adjusted. In particular things like "0U" become
"0UL".
3) {PGDIR,PMD}_BITS decrease by one.
4) In the assembler page table walkers, use "ldxa" instead of "lduwa"
and adjust the low bit masks to clear out the low 3 bits instead of
just the low 2 bits during pgd/pmd address formation.
Also, use PTRS_PER_PGD and PTRS_PER_PMD in the sizing of the
swapper_{pg_dir,low_pmd_dir} arrays.
This patch does not try to take advantage of having 64-bits in the
PMDs to simplify the hugepage code, that will come in a subsequent
change.

The impetus for this is that we would like to move to 64-bit PMDs and
PGDs, but that would result in only supporting a 42-bit address space
with the current page table layout. It'd be nice to support at least
43-bits.
The reason we'd end up with only 42-bits after making PMDs and PGDs
64-bit is that we only use half-page sized PTE tables in order to make
PMDs line up to 4MB, the hardware huge page size we use.
So what we do here is we make huge pages 8MB, and fabricate them using
4MB hw TLB entries.
Facilitate this by providing a "REAL_HPAGE_SHIFT" which is used in
places that really need to operate on hardware 4MB pages.
Use full pages (512 entries) for PTE tables, and adjust PMD_SHIFT,
PGD_SHIFT, and the build time CPP test as needed. Use a CPP test to
make sure REAL_HPAGE_SHIFT and the _PAGE_SZHUGE_* we use match up.
This makes the pgtable cache completely unused, so remove the code
managing it and the state used in mm_context_t. Now we have less
spinlocks taken in the page table allocation path.
The technique we use to fabricate the 8MB pages is to transfer bit 22
from the missing virtual address into the PTEs physical address field.
That takes care of the transparent huge pages case.
For hugetlb, we fill things in at the PTE level and that code already
puts the sub huge page physical bits into the PTEs, based upon the
offset, so there is nothing special we need to do. It all just works
out.
So, a small amount of complexity in the THP case, but this code is
about to get much simpler when we move the 64-bit PMDs as we can move
away from the fancy 32-bit huge PMD encoding and just put a real PTE
value in there.
With bug fixes and help from Bob Picco.

When we set the sun4u version of the PTE execute bit, it's:
or REG, _PAGE_EXEC_4U, REG
_PAGE_EXEC_4U is 0x1000, unfortunately the immedate field of the
'or' instruction is a signed 13-bit value. So the above actually
assembles into:
or REG, -4096, REG
completely corrupting the final PTE value.
Set it with a:
sethi %hi(_PAGE_EXEC_4U), TMP
or REG, TMP, REG
sequence instead.
This fixes "git gc" crashes on sun4u machines.

This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.
Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.
set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.
We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.
With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

We're going to be messing around with the PMD interpretation and layout
for the sake of transparent huge pages, so we better clearly document what
we're starting with.

The reason we want to do this is to facilitate transparent huge page
support.
Right now PMD's cover 8MB of address space, and our huge page size is 4MB.
The current transparent hugepage support is not able to handle HPAGE_SIZE
!= PMD_SIZE.
So make PTE tables be sized to half of a page instead of a full page.
We can still map properly the whole supported virtual address range which
on sparc64 requires 44 bits. Add a compile time CPP test which ensures
that this requirement is always met.
There is a minor inefficiency added by this change. We only use half of
the page for PTE tables. It's not trivial to use only half of the page
yet still get all of the pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() stuff working
properly. It is doable, and that will come in a subsequent change.

On sun4v this is basically required since we point the hypervisor and
the TSB walking hardware at these tables using physical addressing
too.

The majority of this patch was created by the following script:
***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***
The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
