There were several issues if a memreserve range existed and happened
to be in highmem:
* The bootmem allocator is only aware of lowmem so calling
reserve_bootmem with a highmem address would cause a BUG_ON
* All highmem pages were provided to the buddy allocator
Added a lmb_is_reserved() api that we now use to determine if a highem
page should continue to be PageReserved or provided to the buddy
allocator.
Also, we incorrectly reported the amount of pages reserved since all
highmem pages are initally marked reserved and we clear the
PageReserved flag as we "free" up the highmem pages.

This adds the hugepagesz boot-time parameter for ppc64. It lets one
pick the size for huge pages. The choices available are 64K and 16M
when the base page size is 4k. It defaults to 16M (previously the
only only choice) if nothing or an invalid choice is specified.
Tested 64K huge pages successfully with the libhugetlbfs 1.2.

Here's a dumb simple implementation of fake NUMA nodes for PowerPC.
Fake NUMA nodes can be specified using the following command line option
numa=fake=<node range>
node range is of the format <range1>,<range2>,...<rangeN>
Each of the rangeX parameters is passed using memparse(). I find this
useful for fake NUMA emulation on my simple PowerPC machine. I've
tested it on a non-numa box with the following arguments:
numa=fake=1G
numa=fake=1G,2G
name=fake=1G,512M,2G
numa=fake=1500M,2800M mem=3500M
numa=fake=1G mem=512M
numa=fake=1G mem=1G

Currently we hardwire the number of SLBs to 64, but PAPR says we
should use the ibm,slb-size property to obtain the number of SLB
entries. This uses this property instead of assuming 64. If no
property is found, we assume 64 entries as before.
This soft patches the SLB handler, so it shouldn't change performance
at all.

The patch "KVM: fix !SMP build error" change the way smp_call_function()
actually uses the passed in function names on non-SMP builds. So
previously it was never caught that the function passed in was never
actually defined.
This causes a build error on ppc64_defconfig + CONFIG_SMP=n:
arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c: In function 'pgtable_free_now':
arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c:71: error: 'pte_free_smp_sync' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_64.c:71: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

So we need to define it even if CONFIG_SMP is off. Either that or ifdef
out the smp_call_function() call, but that's ugly.

Now that we have 1TB segment size support, we need to be using the
GET_ESID_1T macro when comparing ESID values for pc, stack, and
unmapped_base within switch_slb(). A new helper function called
esids_match() contains the logic for deciding when to call GET_ESID
and GET_ESID_1T.
This fixes a duplicate-slb-entry inspired machine-check exception I
was seeing when trying to run java on a power6 partition.

mmu_mapin_ram() loops over total_lowmem to setup page tables. However, if
total_lowmem is less that 16M, the subtraction rolls over and results in
a number just under 4G (because total_lowmem is an unsigned value).
This patch rejigs the loop from countup to countdown to eliminate the
bug.
Special thanks to Magnus Hjorth who wrote the original patch to fix this
bug. This patch improves on his by making the loop code simpler (which
also eliminates the possibility of another rollover at the high end)
and also applies the change to arch/powerpc.

The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually
tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with
it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't
report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches
in their distro...
This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by
setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously
marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon
return to user space when that happens.
This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained
flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very
strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires
a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which
isn't something I want to deal with.

On 4xx CPUs, the current implementation of flush_tlb_page() uses
a low level _tlbie() assembly function that only works for the
current PID. Thus, invalidations caused by, for example, a COW
fault triggered by get_user_pages() from a different context will
not work properly, causing among other things, gdb breakpoints
to fail.
This patch adds a "pid" argument to _tlbie() on 4xx processors,
and uses it to flush entries in the right context. FSL BookE
also gets the argument but it seems they don't need it (their
tlbivax form ignores the PID when invalidating according to the
document I have).

When demoting a process to use 4K HW pages (instead of 64K), which
happens under various circumstances such as doing cache inhibited
mappings on machines that do not support 64K CI pages, the assembly
hash code calls back into the C function flush_hash_page(). This
function prototype was recently changed to accomodate for 1T segments
but the assembly call site was not updated, causing applications that
do demotion to hang. In addition, when updating the per-CPU PACA for
the new sizes, we didn't properly update the slice "map", thus causing
the SLB miss code to re-insert segments for the wrong size.
This fixes both and adds a warning comment next to the C
implementation to try to avoid problems next time someone changes it.

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().
A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
Changelog:
2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
and remove dependence on the task_pid().
2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
bug rather than force a kernel panic.

PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large
segment bit. As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching
context.
We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing,
since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the
same ESID. I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a
failed slbie of the old entry. So as long as we clear it out on context
switch we should be fine.

- removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc.
- removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64.
- only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it
to return -EINVAL.

This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).
We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.
We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.
Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

The CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE mmu setup code fails when CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
and the 3 fixed TLB entries cannot exactly map the lowmem size.
Each TLB entry can map 4MB, 16MB, 64MB or 256MB, so the failure
is observed when the kernel lowmem size is not equal to the
sum of up to 3 of those values.
Normally, memory is sized in nice numbers, but I observed this
problem while testing a crash dump kernel. The failure can
also be observed by artificially reducing the kernel's main
memory via the mem= kernel command line parameter.
This commit fixes the problem by setting __initial_memory_limit
in adjust_total_lowmem().

This partially reverts edd0622bd2e8f755c960827e15aa6908c3c5aa94.
It turns out that the part of that commit that aimed to ensure that we
created an SLB entry for the kernel stack on secondary CPUs when
starting the CPU didn't achieve its aim, and in fact caused a
regression, because get_paca()->kstack is not initialized at the point
where slb_initialize is called.
This therefore just reverts that part of that commit, while keeping
the change to slb_flush_and_rebolt, which is correct and necessary.

We were getting a duplicate entry in the SLB shadow buffer in
slb_flush_and_rebolt() if the kernel stack was in the same segment
as PAGE_OFFSET, which on POWER6 causes the hypervisor to terminate
the partition with an error. This fixes it.
Also we were not creating an SLB entry (or an SLB shadow buffer
entry) for the kernel stack on secondary CPUs when starting the
CPU. This isn't a major problem, since an appropriate entry will
be created on demand, but this fixes that also for consistency.

Classic 32-bit PowerPC CPUs, and the early 64-bit PowerPC CPUs, don't
provide a way to prevent execution from readable pages, that is, the
MMU doesn't distinguish between data reads and instruction reads,
although a different exception is taken for faults in data accesses
and instruction accesses.
Commit 9ba4ace39fdfe22268daca9f28c5df384ae462cf, in the course of
fixing another bug, added a check that meant that a page fault due
to an instruction access would fail if the vma did not have the
VM_EXEC flag set. This gives an inconsistent enforcement on these
CPUs of the no-execute status of the vma (since reading from the page
is sufficient to allow subsequent execution from it), and causes old
versions of ppc32 glibc (2.2 and earlier) to fail, since they rely
on executing the word before the GOT but don't have it marked
executable.
This fixes the problem by allowing execution from readable (or writable)
areas on CPUs which do not provide separate control over data and
instruction reads.

The config symbol for SPE support is called CONFIG_SPU_BASE, not
CONFIG_SPE_BASE.
