On 64-bit CPUs with no-execute support and non-snooping icache, such as
970 or POWER4, we have a software mechanism to ensure coherency of the
cache (using exec faults when needed).
This was broken due to a logic error when the code was rewritten
from assembly to C, previously the assembly code did:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
mr r4,r30
mr r5,r7
bl hash_page_do_lazy_icache
END_FTR_SECTION(CPU_FTR_NOEXECUTE|CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE, CPU_FTR_NOEXECUTE)
Which tests that:
(cpu_features & (NOEXECUTE | COHERENT_ICACHE)) == NOEXECUTE
Which says that the current cpu does have NOEXECUTE, but does not have
COHERENT_ICACHE.

Moving probe_machine() to after mmu init will cause the ppc_md
fields relative to the hash table management to be overwritten.
Since we have essentially disconnected the machine type from
the hash backend ops, finish the job by moving them to a different
structure.
The only callback that didn't quite fix is update_partition_table
since this is not specific to hash, so I moved it to a standalone
variable for now. We can revisit later if needed.

This helps to make following hash only pte bits easier.
We have kept _PAGE_CHG_MASK, _HPAGE_CHG_MASK and _PAGE_PROT_BITS as it
is in this patch eventhough they use hash specific bits. Using them in
radix as it is should be ok, because with radix we expect those bit
positions to be zero.
Only renames in this patch, no change in functionality.

PowerISA 3.0 introduces two pte bits with the below meaning for radix:
00 -> Normal Memory
01 -> Strong Access Order (SAO)
10 -> Non idempotent I/O (Cache inhibited and guarded)
11 -> Tolerant I/O (Cache inhibited)
We drop the existing WIMG bits in the Linux page table in favour of the
above constants. We loose _PAGE_WRITETHRU with this conversion. We only
use writethru via pgprot_cached_wthru() which is used by
fbdev/controlfb.c which is Apple control display and also PPC32.
With respect to _PAGE_COHERENCE, we have been marking hpte always
coherent for some time now. htab_convert_pte_flags() always added
HPTE_R_M.
NOTE: KVM changes need closer review.

_PAGE_PRIVILEGED means the page can be accessed only by the kernel. This
is done to keep pte bits similar to PowerISA 3.0 Radix PTE format. User
pages are now marked by clearing _PAGE_PRIVILEGED bit.
Previously we allowed the kernel to have a privileged page in the lower
address range (USER_REGION). With this patch such access is denied.
We also prevent a kernel access to a non-privileged page in higher
address range (ie, REGION_ID != 0).
Both the above access scenarios should never happen.

This splits the _PAGE_RW bit into _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_WRITE. It also
removes the dependency on _PAGE_USER for implying read only. Few things
to note here is that, we have read implied with write and execute
permission. Hence we should always find _PAGE_READ set on hash pte
fault.
We still can't switch PROT_NONE to !(_PAGE_RWX). Auto numa depends on
marking a prot none pte _PAGE_WRITE. (For more details look at
b191f9b106 "mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA
hinting fault")

Traditionally Power server machines have used the Hashed Page Table MMU
mode. In this mode Linux manages its own tree of nested page tables,
aka. "the Linux page tables", which are not used by the hardware
directly, and software loads translations into the hash page table for
use by the hardware.
Power ISA 3.0 defines a new MMU mode, known as Radix Tree Translation,
where the hardware can directly operate on the Linux page tables.
However the hardware requires that the page tables be in big endian
format.
To accommodate this, switch the pgtable types to __be64 and add
appropriate endian conversions.
Because we will be supporting a single kernel binary that boots using
either radix or hash mode, we always store the Linux page tables big
endian, even in hash mode where they are not actually used by the
hardware.

[mpe: Fix sparse errors, flesh out change log]
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
We have five locations in 64-bit hash MMU code that do a cmpxchg() of a
PTE. Currently doing it inline OK, but in a future patch we will be
converting the PTEs to __be64 in some configs. In that case we will need
casts at every cmpxchg() site in order to keep sparse happy.
So move the logic into a helper, this is a reasonably nice cleanup on
its own.

We can get a hash pte fault with 4k base page size and find the pte
already inserted with 64K base page size. In that case we need to clear
the existing slot information from the old pte. Fix this correctly
With THP, we also clear the slot information with respect to all
the 64K hash pte mapping that 16MB page. They are all invalid
now. This make sure we don't find the slot valid when we fault with
4k base page size. Finding the slot valid should not result in any wrong
behavior because we do check again in hash page table for the validity.
But we can avoid that check completely.

This free up 11 bits in pte_t. In the later patch we also change
the pte_t format so that we can start supporting migration pte
at pmd level. We now track 4k subpage valid bit as below
If we have _PAGE_COMBO set, we override the _PAGE_F_GIX_SHIFT
and _PAGE_F_SECOND. Together we have 4 bits, each of them
used to indicate whether any of the 4 4k subpage in that group
is valid. ie,
[ group 1 bit ] [ group 2 bit ] ..... [ group 4 ]
[ subpage 1 - 4] [ subpage 5- 8] ..... [ subpage 13 - 16]
We still track each 4k subpage slot number and secondary hash
information in the second half of pgtable_t. Removing the subpage
tracking have some significant overhead on aim9 and ebizzy benchmark and
to support THP with 4K subpage, we do need a pgtable_t of 4096 bytes.
