Before we plug in highmem support, some of code needs to be ready for it
 - copy_user_highpage() needs to be using the kmap_atomic API
 - mk_pte() can't assume page_address()
 - do_page_fault() can't assume VMALLOC_END is end of kernel vaddr space

<title>ARCv2: mm: THP support</title>

MMUv4 in HS38x cores supports Super Pages which are basis for Linux THP
support.

Normal and Super pages can co-exist (ofcourse not overlap) in TLB with a
new bit "SZ" in TLB page desciptor to distinguish between them.
Super Page size is configurable in hardware (4K to 16M), but fixed once
RTL builds.

The exact THP size a Linx configuration will support is a function of:
 - MMU page size (typical 8K, RTL fixed)
 - software page walker address split between PGD:PTE:PFN (typical
   11:8:13, but can be changed with 1 line)

So for above default, THP size supported is 8K * 256 = 2M

Default Page Walker is 2 levels, PGD:PTE:PFN, which in THP regime
reduces to 1 level (as PTE is folded into PGD and canonically referred
to as PMD).

Thus thp PMD accessors are implemented in terms of PTE (just like sparc)

We used to calculate page address differently in 2 cases:

1. In virt_to_page(x) we do
 ---&gt;8---
 mem_map + (x - CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE) &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT
 ---&gt;8---

2. In in pte_page(x) we do
 ---&gt;8---
 mem_map + (pte_val(x) - PAGE_OFFSET) &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT
 ---&gt;8---

That leads to problems in case PAGE_OFFSET != CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE -
different pages will be selected depending on where and how we calculate
page address.

In particular in the STAR 9000853582 when gdb attempted to read memory
of another process it got improper page in get_user_pages() because this
is exactly one of the places where we search for a page by pte_page().

The fix is trivial - we need to calculate page address similarly in both
cases.

<title>mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs</title>

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
 &gt;&gt; mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count &gt;= width of type [enabled by default]

The code:

 &gt; 2857                WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) &gt;
   2858                                round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) &gt;&gt; PUD_SHIFT);

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has
the same type -- int.  PUD_SHIFT.

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long.  On every arch for consistency.
