<title>MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself</title>

<id>4b3073e1c53a256275f1079c0fbfbe85883d9275</id>
<content type='text'>
On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.

This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().

Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():

  On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
  to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
  more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
  pte_t?

Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:

  Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
  -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
  for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
  _PAGE_EXEC.

So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

Includes a fix from Stephen Rothwell:

All SH-X2 and SH-X3 parts support an extended TLB mode, which has been
left as experimental since support was originally merged. Now that it's
had some time to stabilize and get some exposure to various platforms,
we can drop it as an option and default enable it across the board.

This is also good future proofing for newer parts that will drop support
for the legacy TLB mode completely.

This will also force 3-level page tables for all newer parts, which is
necessary both for the varying page sizes and larger memories.

We also switched away from quicklists and instead moved to slab
caches. After benchmarking both implementations the difference is
negligible. The slab caches suit us better though because the size of a
pgd table is just 4 entries when we're using a 3-level page table layout
and quicklists always deal with pages.

If using 64-bit PTEs and 4K pages then each page table has 512 entries
(as opposed to 1024 entries with 32-bit PTEs). Unlike MIPS, SH follows
the convention that all structures in the page table (pgd_t, pmd_t,
pgprot_t, etc) must be the same size. Therefore, 64-bit PTEs require
64-bit PGD entries, etc. Using 2-levels of page tables and 64-bit PTEs
it is only possible to map 1GB of virtual address space.

In order to map all 4GB of virtual address space we need to adopt a
3-level page table layout. This actually works out better for
CONFIG_SUPERH32 because we only waste 2 PGD entries on the P1 and P2
areas (which are untranslated) instead of 256.

This plugs in kmap_coherent() for the non-SH4 cases to permit the
pg-mmu.c bits to be used generically across all CPUs. SH-5 is still in
the TODO state, but will move over to fixmap and the generic interface
gradually.
