This is needed so that we can support both hash and radix page table
using single kernel. Radix kernel uses a 4 level table.
We now use physical address in upper page table tree levels. Even though
they are aligned to their size, for the masked bits we use the
bit positions as per PowerISA 3.0.

This changes the Linux page tables to store physical addresses
rather than kernel virtual addresses in the upper levels of the
tree (pgd, pud and pmd) for 64-bit Book 3S machines.
This also changes the hugepd pointers used to implement hugepages
when the base page size is 4k to store physical addresses rather than
virtual addresses (again just for 64-bit Book3S machines).
This frees up some high order bits, and will be needed with
PowerISA v3.0 machines which read the page table tree in hardware
in radix mode.

hard code the same. This make sure we use the right value

In pte_alloc_one(), pgtable_page_ctor() is passed an address that has
not been converted by page_address() to the newly allocated PTE page.
When the PTE is freed, __pte_free_tlb() calls pgtable_page_dtor()
with an address to the PTE page that has been converted by page_address().
The mismatch in the PTE's page address causes pgtable_page_dtor() to access
invalid memory, so resources for that PTE (such as the page lock) is not
properly cleaned up.
On PPC32, only SMP kernels are affected.
On PPC64, only SMP kernels with 4K page size are affected.
This bug was introduced by commit d614bb041209fd7cb5e4b35e11a7b2f6ee8f62b8
"powerpc: Move the pte free routines from common header".
On a preempt-rt kernel, a spinlock is dynamically allocated for each
PTE in pgtable_page_ctor(). When the PTE is freed, calling
pgtable_page_dtor() with a mismatched page address causes a memory leak,
as the pointer to the PTE's spinlock is bogus.
On mainline, there isn't any immediately obvious symptoms, but the
problem still exists here.

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails
to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far
dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately
as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address
translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress
translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch
adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for
filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile
tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.

THP code does PTE page allocation along with large page request and deposit them
for later use. This is to ensure that we won't have any failures when we split
hugepages to regular pages.
On powerpc we want to use the deposited PTE page for storing hash pte slot and
secondary bit information for the HPTEs. We use the second half
of the pmd table to save the deposted PTE page.

We allocate one page for the last level of linux page table. With THP and
large page size of 16MB, that would mean we are wasting large part
of that page. To map 16MB area, we only need a PTE space of 2K with 64K
page size. This patch reduce the space wastage by sharing the page
allocated for the last level of linux page table with multiple pmd
entries. We call these smaller chunks PTE page fragments and allocated
page, PTE page.
In order to support systems which doesn't have 64K HPTE support, we also
add another 2K to PTE page fragment. The second half of the PTE fragments
is used for storing slot and secondary bit information of an HPTE. With this
we now have a 4K PTE fragment.
We use a simple approach to share the PTE page. On allocation, we bump the
PTE page refcount to 16 and share the PTE page with the next 16 pte alloc
request. This should help in the node locality of the PTE page fragment,
assuming that the immediate pte alloc request will mostly come from the
same NUMA node. We don't try to reuse the freed PTE page fragment. Hence
we could be waisting some space.

This patch moves the common code to 32/64 bit headers and also duplicate
4K_PAGES and 64K_PAGES section. We will later change the 64 bit 64K_PAGES
version to support smaller PTE fragments. The patch doesn't introduce
any functional changes.

Change the hugepage directory format so that we can have leaf ptes directly
at page directory avoiding the allocation of hugepage directory.
With the new table format we have 3 cases for pgds and pmds:
(1) invalid (all zeroes)
(2) pointer to next table, as normal; bottom 6 bits == 0
(4) hugepd pointer, bottom two bits == 00, next 4 bits indicate size of table
Instead of storing shift value in hugepd pointer we use mmu_psize_def index
so that we can fit all the supported hugepage size in 4 bits

We need to keep track of the backing pages that get allocated by
vmemmap_populate() so that when we use kdump, the dump-capture kernel knows
where these pages are.
We use a simple linked list of structures that contain the physical address
of the backing page and corresponding virtual address to track the backing
pages.
To save space, we just use a pointer to the next struct vmemmap_backing. We
can also do this because we never remove nodes. We call the pointer "list"
to be compatible with changes made to the crash utility.
vmemmap_populate() is called either at boot-time or on a memory hotplug
operation. We don't have to worry about the boot-time calls because they
will be inherently single-threaded, and for a memory hotplug operation
vmemmap_populate() is called through:
sparse_add_one_section()
|
V
kmalloc_section_memmap()
|
V
sparse_mem_map_populate()
|
V
vmemmap_populate()
and in sparse_add_one_section() we're protected by pgdat_resize_lock().
So, we don't need a spinlock to protect the vmemmap_list.
We allocate space for the vmemmap_backing structs by allocating whole pages
in vmemmap_list_alloc() and then handing out chunks of this to
vmemmap_list_populate().
This means that we waste at most just under one page, but this keeps the code
is simple.

Commit a0668cdc154e54bf0c85182e0535eea237d53146 cleans up the handling
of kmem_caches for allocating various levels of pagetables.
Unfortunately, it conflicts badly with CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT, due to
the latter's cleverly hidden technique of adding some extra allocation
space to the top level page directory to store the extra information
it needs.
Since that extra allocation really doesn't fit into the cleaned up
page directory allocating scheme, this patch alters
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT to instead allocate its struct
subpage_prot_table as part of the mm_context_t.

Currently we have a fair bit of rather fiddly code to manage the
various kmem_caches used to store page tables of various levels. We
generally have two caches holding some combination of PGD, PUD and PMD
tables, plus several more for the special hugepage pagetables.
This patch cleans this all up by taking a different approach. Rather
than the caches being designated as for PUDs or for hugeptes for 16M
pages, the caches are simply allocated to be a specific size. Thus
sharing of caches between different types/levels of pagetables happens
naturally. The pagetable size, where needed, is passed around encoded
in the same way as {PGD,PUD,PMD}_INDEX_SIZE; that is n where the
pagetable contains 2^n pointers.

mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.
Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.
The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.
