<title>sparc64: Fix huge TSB mapping on pre-UltraSPARC-III cpus.</title>

Access to the TSB hash tables during TLB misses requires that there be
an atomic 128-bit quad load available so that we fetch a matching TAG
and DATA field at the same time.

On cpus prior to UltraSPARC-III only virtual address based quad loads
are available.  UltraSPARC-III and later provide physical address
based variants which are easier to use.

When we only have virtual address based quad loads available this
means that we have to lock the TSB into the TLB at a fixed virtual
address on each cpu when it runs that process.  We can't just access
the PAGE_OFFSET based aliased mapping of these TSBs because we cannot
take a recursive TLB miss inside of the TLB miss handler without
risking running out of hardware trap levels (some trap combinations
can be deep, such as those generated by register window spill and fill
traps).

Without huge pages it's working perfectly fine, but when the huge TSB
got added another chunk of fixed virtual address space was not
allocated for this second TSB mapping.

So we were mapping both the 8K and 4MB TSBs to the same exact virtual
address, causing multiple TLB matches which gives undefined behavior.

pte_ERROR() is not used anywhere, delete it.

For pgd_ERROR() and pmd_ERROR(), output something similar to x86, giving the address
of the pgd/pmd as well as it's value.

Also provide the caller, since these macros are invoked from pgd_clear_bad() and
pmd_clear_bad() which provides little context as to what high level operation was
occuring when the BAD state was detected.

Instead of returning false we should at least check the most basic
things, otherwise page table corruptions will be very difficult to
debug.

PMD and PTE tables are of size PAGE_SIZE, so none of the sub-PAGE_SIZE
bits should be set.

We also complement this with a check that the physical address the
pud/pmd points to is valid memory.

PowerPC was used as a guide while implementating this.

The large PMD path needs to check _PAGE_VALID not _PAGE_PRESENT, to
decide if it needs to bail and return 0.

pmd_large() should therefore just check _PAGE_PMD_HUGE.

Calls to gup_huge_pmd() are guarded with a check of pmd_large(), so we
just need to add a valid bit check.

On sparc64 "present" and "valid" are seperate PTE bits, this allows us to
naturally distinguish between the user explicitly asking for PROT_NONE
with mprotect() and other situations.

However we weren't handling this properly in the huge PMD paths.

First of all, the page table walker in the TSB miss path only checks
for _PAGE_PMD_HUGE.  So the generic pmdp_invalidate() would clear
_PAGE_PRESENT but the TLB miss paths would still load it into the TLB
as a valid huge PMD.

Fix this by clearing the valid bit in pmdp_invalidate(), and also
checking the valid bit in USER_PGTABLE_CHECK_PMD_HUGE using "brgez"
since _PAGE_VALID is bit 63 in both the sun4u and sun4v pte layouts.
