Using a quicklist to allocate PTEs might be slightly faster than using

Use a quicklist to allocate process PGDs. This is expected to be
slightly faster since we need to copy entries from swapper_pg_dir,
which can stay around for pages on the PGD quick list.

Expand the per-process PGDs so that they cover the kernel virtual
memory area as well. This simplifies the TLB miss handler fastpath
since it doesn't have to check for kernel addresses anymore.
If a TLB miss happens on a kernel address and a second-level page
table can't be found, we check swapper_pg_dir and copy the PGD entry
into the user PGD if it can be found there.
Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <haavard.skinnemoen@atmel.com>
Instead of storing physical addresses along with page flags in the
PGD, store virtual addresses and use NULL to indicate a not present
second-level page table. A non-page-aligned page table indicates a bad
PMD.
This simplifies the TLB miss handler since it no longer has to check
the Present bit and no longer has to convert the PGD entry from
physical to virtual address. Instead, it has to check for a NULL
entry, which is slightly cheaper than either.

This and the following patches aim to optimize the code dealing with
page tables and TLB operations. Each patch reduces the time it takes
to gzip a 16 MB file slightly, but I expect things like fork() and
mmap() will improve somewhat more.
This patch deals with the low-level TLB operations:
* Remove unused _TLBEHI_I define
* Use gcc builtins instead of inline assembly
* Remove a few unnecessary pipeline flushes and nops
* Introduce NR_TLB_ENTRIES define and use it instead of hardcoding it
to 32 a few places throughout the code.
* Use sysreg bitops instead of hardcoded shifts and masks
* Make a few needlessly global functions static

fsync_buffers_list() and sync_dirty_buffer() both issue async writes and

Currently when a 32 bit process is exec'd on a powerpc 64 bit host the
value in the top three bytes of the personality is clobbered. patch
adds a check in the SET_PERSONALITY macro that will carry all the
values in the top three bytes across the exec.
These three bytes currently carry flags to disable address randomisation,
limit the address space, force zeroing of an mmapped page, etc. Should an
application set any of these bits they will be maintained and honoured on
homogeneous environment but discarded and ignored on a heterogeneous
environment. So if an application requires all mmapped pages to be initialised
to zero and a wrapper is used to setup the personality and exec the target,
these flags will remain set on an all 32 or all 64 bit envrionment, but they
will be lost in the exec on a mixed 32/64 bit environment. Losing these bits
means that the same application would behave differently in different
environments. Tested on a POWER5+ machine with 64bit kernel and a mixed
64/32 bit user space.

The implementation of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() directly calls
ptep_set_wrprotect() to mark a hugepte write protected. However this
call is not appropriate on ppc64 kernels as this is a small page only
implementation. This can lead to the hash not being flushed correctly
when a mapping is being converted to COW, allowing processes to continue
using the original copy.
Currently huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() unconditionally calls
ptep_set_wrprotect(). This is fine on ppc32 kernels as this call is
generic. On 64 bit this is implemented as:
pte_update(mm, addr, ptep, _PAGE_RW, 0);
On ppc64 this last parameter is the page size and is passed directly on
to hpte_need_flush():
hpte_need_flush(mm, addr, ptep, old, huge);
And this directly affects the page size we pass to flush_hash_page():
flush_hash_page(vaddr, rpte, psize, ssize, 0);
As this changes the way the hash is calculated we will flush the wrong
pages, potentially leaving live hashes to the original page.
Move the definition of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() to the 32/64 bit specific
headers.

The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)
and the resulting code will be either,
or 1,1,1
nop
or,
nop
or 2,2,2
For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
or 2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)
and the resulting code will be:
or 1,1,1
or,
or 2,2,2
We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.
The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.
We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.
This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.
We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.
For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.
While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change

At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some
process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a
cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair
pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere. This hurts
the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace.
With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing
the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices
able to use 64kB hardware pages.
This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is
willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice
if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified
MAP_FIXED or if there is not sufficient space available in slices that
are either empty or already have 64k-page mappings in them.

md_allow_write() marks the metadata dirty while holding mddev->lock and then
waits for the write to complete. For externally managed metadata this causes a
deadlock as userspace needs to take the lock to communicate that the metadata
update has completed.
Change md_allow_write() in the 'external' case to start the 'mark active'
operation and then return -EAGAIN. The expected side effects while waiting for
userspace to write 'active' to 'array_state' are holding off reshape (code
currently handles -ENOMEM), cause some 'stripe_cache_size' change requests to
fail, cause some GET_BITMAP_FILE ioctl requests to fall back to GFP_NOIO, and
cause updates to 'raid_disks' to fail. Except for 'stripe_cache_size' changes
these failures can be mitigated by coordinating with mdmon.
md_write_start() still prevents writes from occurring until the metadata
handler has had a chance to take action as it unconditionally waits for
MD_CHANGE_CLEAN to be cleared.

batu and batl. I also got rid of the previous union that held the
bitfield structs and a word representation of the batu/l values.
This seems like a nicer solution than adding in a bunch of
