On parisc a spinlock is stored in the next page behind the pgd which
protects against parallel accesses to the pgd. That's why one additional
page (PGD_ALLOC_ORDER) is allocated for the pgd.

Matthew Wilcox suggested that we instead should use a pointer in the
struct page table for this spinlock and noted, that the comments for the
PGD_ORDER and PMD_ORDER defines were wrong.

Both suggestions are addressed with this patch. Instead of having an own
spinlock to protect the pgd, we now switch to use the existing
page_table_lock.  Additionally, beside loading the pgd into cr25 in
switch_mm_irqs_off(), the physical address of this lock is loaded into
cr28 (tr4), so that we can avoid implementing a complicated lookup in
assembly for this lock in the TLB fault handlers.

The existing Hybrid L2/L3 page table scheme (where the pmd is adjacent
to the pgd) has been dropped with this patch.

Remove the locking in set_pte() and the huge-page pte functions too.
They trigger a spinlock recursion on 32bit machines and seem unnecessary.

<title>mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions</title>

All architectures define pte_index() as

	(address &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PTE - 1)

and all architectures define pte_offset_kernel() as an entry in the array
of PTEs indexed by the pte_index().

For the most architectures the pte_offset_kernel() implementation relies
on the availability of pmd_page_vaddr() that converts a PMD entry value to
the virtual address of the page containing PTEs array.

Let's move x86 definitions of the PTE accessors to the generic place in
&lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; and then simply drop the respective definitions from the
other architectures.

The architectures that didn't provide pmd_page_vaddr() are updated to have
that defined.

The generic implementation of pte_offset_kernel() can be overridden by an
architecture and alpha makes use of this because it has special ordering
requirements for its version of pte_offset_kernel().

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

<title>mm/special: create generic fallbacks for pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()</title>

<id>78e7c5af080b86e9f28afac5a8307ddab1d2c1a3</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently there are many platforms that dont enable ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
but required to define quite similar fallback stubs for special page
table entry helpers such as pte_special() and pte_mkspecial(), as they
get build in generic MM without a config check.  This creates two
generic fallback stub definitions for these helpers, eliminating much
code duplication.

mips platform has a special case where pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()
visibility is wider than what ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL enablement requires.
This restricts those symbol visibility in order to avoid redefinitions
which is now exposed through this new generic stubs and subsequent build
failure.  arm platform set_pte_at() definition needs to be moved into a
C file just to prevent a build failure.

Currently there are many platforms that dont enable ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
but required to define quite similar fallback stubs for special page
table entry helpers such as pte_special() and pte_mkspecial(), as they
get build in generic MM without a config check.  This creates two
generic fallback stub definitions for these helpers, eliminating much
code duplication.

mips platform has a special case where pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()
visibility is wider than what ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL enablement requires.
This restricts those symbol visibility in order to avoid redefinitions
which is now exposed through this new generic stubs and subsequent build
failure.  arm platform set_pte_at() definition needs to be moved into a
C file just to prevent a build failure.

[anshuman.khandual@arm.com: use defined(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL) in mips per Thomas]

parisc has two or three levels of page tables and can use appropriate
pgtable-nopXd and folding of the upper layers.

Replace usage of include/asm-generic/4level-fixup.h and explicit
definitions of __PAGETABLE_PxD_FOLDED in parisc with
include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h for two-level configurations and
with include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h for three-lelve configurations
and adjust page table manipulation macros and functions accordingly.

Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem
cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use
PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy.

Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default
NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init().  Since there is no such default
for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most
architectures.

Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and
drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

<title>parisc: Use per-pagetable spinlock</title>

<content type='text'>
PA-RISC uses a global spinlock to protect pagetable updates in the TLB
fault handlers. When multiple cores are taking TLB faults simultaneously,
the cache line containing the spinlock becomes a bottleneck.

This patch embeds the spinlock in the top level page directory, so that
every process has its own lock. It improves performance by 30% when
doing parallel compilations.

At least on the N class systems, only one PxTLB inter processor
broadcast can be active at any one time on the Merced bus. If a Merced
bus is found, this patch serializes the TLB flushes with the
pa_tlb_flush_lock spinlock.
