[ Upstream commit 76968ad2eac6456270353de168b21f04f4b3d1d3 ]

When we set the sun4u version of the PTE execute bit, it's:

	or	REG, _PAGE_EXEC_4U, REG

_PAGE_EXEC_4U is 0x1000, unfortunately the immedate field of the
'or' instruction is a signed 13-bit value.  So the above actually
assembles into:

	or	REG, -4096, REG

completely corrupting the final PTE value.

Set it with a:

	sethi	%hi(_PAGE_EXEC_4U), TMP
	or	REG, TMP, REG

sequence instead.

This fixes "git gc" crashes on sun4u machines.

<title>sparc64: Fix tsb_grow() in atomic context.</title>

[ Upstream commit 0fbebed682ff2788dee58e8d7f7dda46e33aa10b ]

If our first THP installation for an MM is via the set_pmd_at() done
during khugepaged's collapsing we'll end up in tsb_grow() trying to do
a GFP_KERNEL allocation with several locks held.

Simply using GFP_ATOMIC in this situation is not the best option
because we really can't have this fail, so we'd really like to keep
this an order 0 GFP_KERNEL allocation if possible.

Also, doing the TSB allocation from khugepaged is a really bad idea
because we'll allocate it potentially from the wrong NUMA node in that
context.

So what we do is defer the hugepage TSB allocation until the first TLB
miss we take on a hugepage.  This is slightly tricky because we have
to handle two unusual cases:

1) Taking the first hugepage TLB miss in the window trap handler.
   We'll call the winfix_trampoline when that is detected.

2) An initial TSB allocation via TLB miss races with a hugetlb
   fault on another cpu running the same MM.  We handle this by
   unconditionally loading the TSB we see into the current cpu
   even if it's non-NULL at hugetlb_setup time.

[ Upstream commit 89a77915e0f56dc7b9f9082ba787895b6a83f809 ]

Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the
SetPageReferenced() bits.

On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs.

In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header
file adjustments were necessary.  Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit
defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than
protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

This bug-fix makes sure that of_iomap is defined extern for sparc so that the
sparc-specific implementation of_iomap is once again used when including
include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. OF_GPIO that is now available for
sparc relies on this.

The bug was inadvertently introduced in a850a75, "of/address: add empty static
inlines for !CONFIG_OF", that added a static dummy inline for of_iomap when
!CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS. However, CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc, but
there is a sparc-specific implementation /arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c.

This fix takes the same approach as 0bce04b that solved the equivalent problem
for of_address_to_resource.

Sparc32 already supported it, as a consequence of using the
generic atomic64 implementation.  And the sparc64 implementation
is rather trivial.

This allows us to set ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE for all
of sparc, and avoid the annoying warning from lib/atomic64_test.c

static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

In atomic backoff and cpu_relax(), use the pause instruction
found on SPARC-T4 and later.

It makes the cpu strand unselectable for the given number of
cycles, unless an intervening disrupting trap occurs.
