Vineet Gupta 2f4ecf68a0 ARC: mm: tlb flush optim: elide redundant uTLB invalidates for MMUv3
For MMUv3 (and prior) the flush_tlb_{range,mm,page} API use the MMU
TLBWrite cmd which already nukes the entire uTLB, so NO need for
additional IVUTLB cmd from utlb_invalidate() - hence this patch

local_flush_tlb_all() is special since it uses a weaker TLBWriteNI
cmd (prec commit) to shoot down JTLB, hence we retain the explicit
uTLB flush

Vineet Gupta 1355ea2e60 ARC: mm: tlb flush optim: elide repeated uTLB invalidate in loop
The unconditional full TLB flush (on say ASID rollover) iterates over each
entry and uses TLBWrite to zero it out. TLBWrite by design also invalidates
the uTLBs thus we end up invalidating it as many times as numbe rof
entries (512 or 1k)

Optimize this by using a weaker TLBWriteNI cmd in loop, which doesn't
tinker with uTLBs and an explicit one time IVUTLB, outside the loop to
invalidate them all once.

And given the optimiztion, the IVUTLB is now needed on MMUv4 too where
the uTLBs and JTLBs are otherwise coherent given the TLBInsertEntry /
TLBDeleteEntry commands

Vineet Gupta cfd9d70a85 ARCv2: mm: TLB Miss optim: SMP builds can cache pgd pointer in mmu scratch reg
ARC700 exception (and intr handling) didn't have auto stack switching
thus had to rely on stashing a reg temporarily (to free it up) at a
known place in memory, allowing to code up the low level stack switching.
This however was not re-entrant in SMP which thus had to repurpose the
per-cpu MMU SCRATCH DATA register otherwise used to "cache" the task pdg
pointer (vs. reading it from mm struct)

The newer HS cores do have auto-stack switching and thus even SMP builds
can use the MMU SCRATCH reg as originally intended.

This patch fixes the restriction to ARC700 SMP builds only

Vineet Gupta 92d4412824 ARCv2: Accomodate HS48 MMUv5 by relaxing MMU ver checking
HS48 cpus will have a new MMUv5, although Linux is currently not
explicitly supporting the newer features (so remains at V4).
The existing software/hardware version check is very tight and causes
boot abort. Given that the MMUv5 hardware is backwards compatible,
relax the boot check to allow current kernel support level to work
with new hardware.

Also while at it, move the ancient MMU related code to under ARCompact
builds as baseline MMU for HS cpus is v4.

Jose Abreu 1ee55a8f7f ARC: Re-enable MMU upon Machine Check exception
I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
machine check exception tiriggered by a kernel module.
However the ensuing crash stacktrace (ksym lookup) was not working

Turns out that machine check auto-disables MMU while modules are allocated
in kernel vaddr spapce.

This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace

Vineet Gupta b5ddb6d547 ARCv2: PAE40: set MSB even if !CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40 but PAE exists in SoC
PAE40 confiuration in hardware extends some of the address registers
for TLB/cache ops to 2 words.

So far kernel was NOT setting the higher word if feature was not enabled
in software which is wrong. Those need to be set to 0 in such case.

Normally this would be done in the cache flush / tlb ops, however since
these registers only exist conditionally, this would have to be
conditional to a flag being set on boot which is expensive/ugly -
specially for the more common case of PAE exists but not in use.
Optimize that by zero'ing them once at boot - nobody will write to
them afterwards

Noam Camus 15ca68a993 ARC: Make vmalloc size configurable
On ARC, lower 2G of address space is translated and used for
 - user vaddr space (region 0 to 5)
 - unused kernel-user gutter (region 6)
 - kernel vaddr space (region 7)

where each region simply represents 256MB of address space.

The kernel vaddr space of 256MB is used to implement vmalloc, modules
So far this was enough, but not on EZChip system with 4K CPUs (given
that per cpu mechanism uses vmalloc for allocating chunks)

So allow VMALLOC_SIZE to be configurable by expanding down into the unused
kernel-user gutter region which at default 256M was excessive anyways.

Also use _BITUL() to fix a build error since PGDIR_SIZE cannot use "1UL"
as called from assembly code in mm/tlbex.S

Vineet Gupta fe6c1b8611 ARCv2: mm: THP support
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)

Vineet Gupta 947bf103fc ARC: [ASID] Track ASID allocation cycles/generations
This helps remove asid-to-mm reverse map

While mm->context.id contains the ASID assigned to a process, our ASID
allocator also used asid_mm_map[] reverse map. In a new allocation
cycle (mm->ASID >= @asid_cache), the Round Robin ASID allocator used this
to check if new @asid_cache belonged to some mm2 (from prev cycle).
If so, it could locate that mm using the ASID reverse map, and mark that
mm as unallocated ASID, to force it to refresh at the time of switch_mm()

However, for SMP, the reverse map has to be maintained per CPU, so
becomes 2 dimensional, hence got rid of it.

With reverse map gone, it is NOT possible to reach out to current
assignee. So we track the ASID allocation generation/cycle and
on every switch_mm(), check if the current generation of CPU ASID is
same as mm's ASID; If not it is refreshed.

(Based loosely on arch/sh implementation)

Vineet Gupta 3daa48d1d9 ARC: [ASID] get_new_mmu_context() to conditionally allocate new ASID
ASID allocation changes/1

This patch does 2 things:

(1) get_new_mmu_context() NOW moves mm->ASID to a new value ONLY if it
    was from a prev allocation cycle/generation OR if mm had no ASID
    allocated (vs. before would unconditionally moving to a new ASID)

    Callers desiring unconditional update of ASID, e.g.local_flush_tlb_mm()
    (for parent's address space invalidation at fork) need to first force
    the parent to an unallocated ASID.

(2) get_new_mmu_context() always sets the MMU PID reg with unchanged/new
    ASID value.

The gains are:
- consolidation of all asid alloc logic into get_new_mmu_context()
- avoiding code duplication in switch_mm() for PID reg setting
- Enables future change to fold activate_mm() into switch_mm()

Vineet Gupta 64b703ef27 ARC: MMUv4 preps/1 - Fold PTE K/U access flags
The current ARC VM code has 13 flags in Page Table entry: some software
(accesed/dirty/non-linear-maps) and rest hardware specific. With 8k MMU
page, we need 19 bits for addressing page frame so remaining 13 bits is
just about enough to accomodate the current flags.

In MMUv4 there are 2 additional flags, SZ (normal or super page) and WT
(cache access mode write-thru) - and additionally PFN is 20 bits (vs. 19
before for 8k). Thus these can't be held in current PTE w/o making each
entry 64bit wide.

It seems there is some scope of compressing the current PTE flags (and
freeing up a few bits). Currently PTE contains fully orthogonal distinct
access permissions for kernel and user mode (Kr, Kw, Kx; Ur, Uw, Ux)
which can be folded into one set (R, W, X). The translation of 3 PTE
bits into 6 TLB bits (when programming the MMU) can be done based on
following pre-requites/assumptions:

1. For kernel-mode-only translations (vmalloc: 0x7000_0000 to
   0x7FFF_FFFF), PTE additionally has PAGE_GLOBAL flag set (and user
   space entries can never be global). Thus such a PTE can translate
   to Kr, Kw, Kx (as appropriate) and zero for User mode counterparts.

2. For non global entries, the PTE flags can be used to create mirrored
   K and U TLB bits. This is true after commit a950549c67
   "ARC: copy_(to|from)_user() to honor usermode-access permissions"
   which ensured that user-space translations _MUST_ have same access
   permissions for both U/K mode accesses so that  copy_{to,from}_user()
   play fair with fault based CoW break and such...

There is no such thing as free lunch - the cost is slightly infalted
TLB-Miss Handlers.

Paul Gortmaker ce7599567e arc: delete __cpuinit usage from all arc files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/arc uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  Currently arc does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

Vineet Gupta 3e87974dec ARC: Brown paper bag bug in macro for checking cache color
The VM_EXEC check in update_mmu_cache() was getting optimized away
because of a stupid error in definition of macro addr_not_cache_congruent()

The intention was to have the equivalent of following:

	if (a || (1 ? b : 0))

but we ended up with following:

	if (a || 1 ? b : 0)

And because precedence of '||' is more that that of '?', gcc was optimizing
away evaluation of <a>

Nasty Repercussions:
1. For non-aliasing configs it would mean some extraneous dcache flushes
   for non-code pages if U/K mappings were not congruent.
2. For aliasing config, some needed dcache flush for code pages might
   be missed if U/K mappings were congruent.

Vineet Gupta 4102b53392 ARC: [mm] Aliasing VIPT dcache support 2/4
This is the meat of the series which prevents any dcache alias creation
by always keeping the U and K mapping of a page congruent.
If a mapping already exists, and other tries to access the page, prev
one is flushed to physical page (wback+inv)

Essentially flush_dcache_page()/copy_user_highpage() create K-mapping
of a page, but try to defer flushing, unless U-mapping exist.
When page is actually mapped to userspace, update_mmu_cache() flushes
the K-mapping (in certain cases this can be optimised out)

Additonally flush_cache_mm(), flush_cache_range(), flush_cache_page()
handle the puring of stale userspace mappings on exit/munmap...

flush_anon_page() handles the existing U-mapping for anon page before
kernel reads it via the GUP path.

Note that while not complete, this is enough to boot a simple
dynamically linked Busybox based rootfs

Vineet Gupta eacd0e950d ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing VIPT)
flush_dcache_page( ) is MM hook to ensure that a page has consistent
views between kernel and userspace. Thus it is called when

* kernel writes to a page which at some later point could get mapped to
  userspace (so kernel mapping needs to be flushed-n-inv)
* kernel is about to read from a page with possible userspace mappings
  (so userspace mappings needs to be made coherent with kernel ones)

However for Non aliasing VIPT dcache, any userspace mapping will always
be congruent to kernel mapping. Thus d-cache need need not be flushed at
all (or delayed indefinitely).

The only reason it does need to be flushed is when mapping code pages.
Since icache doesn't snoop dcache, those dirty dcache lines need to be
written back to memory and icache line invalidated so that icache lines
fetch will get the right data.

Decent gains on LMBench fork/exec/sh and File I/O micro-benchmarks.

Vineet Gupta 24603fdd19 ARC: [mm] optimise icache flush for user mappings
ARC icache doesn't snoop dcache thus executable pages need to be made
coherent before mapping into userspace in flush_icache_page().

However ARC700 CDU (hardware cache flush module) requires both vaddr
(index in cache) as well as paddr (tag match) to correctly identify a
line in the VIPT cache. A typical ARC700 SoC has aliasing icache, thus
the paddr only based flush_icache_page() API couldn't be implemented
efficiently. It had to loop thru all possible alias indexes and perform
the invalidate operation (ofcourse the cache op would only succeed at
the index(es) where tag matches - typically only 1, but the cost of
visiting all the cache-bins needs to paid nevertheless).

Turns out however that the vaddr (along with paddr) is available in
update_mmu_cache() hence better suits ARC icache flush semantics.
With both vaddr+paddr, exactly one flush operation per line is done.
