Rodrigo R. Galvao badf436f6f powerpc/Makefiles: Convert ifeq to ifdef where possible
In Makefiles if we're testing a CONFIG_FOO symbol for equality with 'y'
we can instead just use ifdef. The latter reads easily, so convert to
it where possible.

Nathan Fontenot 6c6ea53725 powerpc/mm: Separate ibm, dynamic-memory data from DT format
We currently have code to parse the dynamic reconfiguration LMB
information from the ibm,dynamic-meory device tree property in
multiple locations; numa.c, prom.c, and pseries/hotplug-memory.c.
In anticipation of adding support for a version 2 of the
ibm,dynamic-memory property this patch aims to separate the device
tree information from the device tree format.

Doing this requires a two step process to avoid a possibly very large
bootmem allocation early in boot. During initial boot, new routines
are provided to walk the device tree property and make a call-back
for each LMB.

The second step (introduced in later patches) will allocate an
array of LMB information that can be used directly without needing
to know the DT format.

This approach provides the benefit of consolidating the device tree
property parsing to a single location and (eventually) providing
a common data structure for retrieving LMB information.

This patch introduces a routine to walk the ibm,dynamic-memory
property in the flattened device tree and updates the prom.c code
to use this to initialize memory.

Non-highlights:
 
  - Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs in our
    implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line with x86.

Michael Ellerman 4e00374704 powerpc/64s: Replace CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 with CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 indicates support for the "standard" powerpc MMU
on 64-bit CPUs. The "standard" MMU refers to the hash page table MMU
found in "server" processors, from IBM mainly.

Currently CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is == CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64. While it's
annoying to have two symbols that always have the same value, it's not
quite annoying enough to bother removing one.

However with the arrival of Power9, we now have the situation where
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is enabled, but the kernel is running using the
Radix MMU - *not* the "standard" MMU. So it is now actively confusing
to use it, because it implies that code is disabled or inactive when
the Radix MMU is in use, however that is not necessarily true.

So s/CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64/CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/, and do some minor
formatting updates of some of the affected lines.

This will be a pain for backports, but c'est la vie.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Christophe Leroy 9b081e1080 powerpc: port 64 bits pgtable_cache to 32 bits
Today powerpc64 uses a set of pgtable_caches while powerpc32 uses
standard pages when using 4k pages and a single pgtable_cache
if using other size pages.

In preparation of implementing huge pages on the 8xx, this patch
replaces the specific powerpc32 handling by the 64 bits approach.

This is done by:
* moving 64 bits pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init()
in a new file called init-common.c
* modifying pgtable_cache_init() to also handle the case
without PMD
* removing the 32 bits version of pgtable_cache_add() and
pgtable_cache_init()
* copying related header contents from 64 bits into both the
book3s/32 and nohash/32 header files

On the 8xx, the following cache sizes will be used:
* 4k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(10) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 512k hugepage tables
* 16k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(6) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(7) for 512k hugepage tables
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 8M hugepage tables

Michael Ellerman dd5ac03e09 powerpc/mm: Fix page table dump build on non-Book3S
In the recent commit 1515ab9321 ("powerpc/mm: Dump hash table") we
added code to dump the hage page table. Currently this can be selected
to build on any platform. However it breaks the build if we're building
for a non-Book3S platform, because none of the hash page table related
defines and so on exist. So restrict it to building only on Book3S.

Similarly in commit 8eb07b1870 ("powerpc/mm: Dump linux pagetables")
we added code to dump the Linux page tables, which uses some constants
which are only defined on Book3S - so guard those with an #ifdef.

But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it.

So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and

Aneesh Kumar K.V 2bfd65e45e powerpc/mm/radix: Add radix callbacks for early init routines
This adds routines for early setup for radix. We use device tree
property "ibm,processor-radix-AP-encodings" to find supported page
sizes. If we don't find the above we consider 64K and 4K as supported
page sizes.

We do map vmemap using 2M page size if we can. The linear mapping is
done such that we use required page size for that range. For example
memory of 3.5G is mapped such that we use 1G mapping till 3G range and
use 2M mapping for the rest.

Christophe Leroy a372acfac5 powerpc/8xx: Map linear kernel RAM with 8M pages
On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over
a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses
and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler.
This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the
non-idle time.
Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and
85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93%
are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on
addresses from the virtual address space.

MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements
mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is
done on the 40x.

In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two
entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add
4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR
routine. This is just ignored by HW.

In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry
will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds
the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page.

With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses
during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s
and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which
represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.

Alexey Kardashevskiy 15b244a88e powerpc/mmu: Add userspace-to-physical addresses translation cache
We are adding support for DMA memory pre-registration to be used in
conjunction with VFIO. The idea is that the userspace which is going to
run a guest may want to pre-register a user space memory region so
it all gets pinned once and never goes away. Having this done,
a hypervisor will not have to pin/unpin pages on every DMA map/unmap
request. This is going to help with multiple pinning of the same memory.

Another use of it is in-kernel real mode (mmu off) acceleration of
DMA requests where real time translation of guest physical to host
physical addresses is non-trivial and may fail as linux ptes may be
temporarily invalid. Also, having cached host physical addresses
(compared to just pinning at the start and then walking the page table
again on every H_PUT_TCE), we can be sure that the addresses which we put
into TCE table are the ones we already pinned.

This adds a list of memory regions to mm_context_t. Each region consists
of a header and a list of physical addresses. This adds API to:
1. register/unregister memory regions;
2. do final cleanup (which puts all pre-registered pages);
3. do userspace to physical address translation;
4. manage usage counters; multiple registration of the same memory
is allowed (once per container).

This implements 2 counters per registered memory region:
- @mapped: incremented on every DMA mapping; decremented on unmapping;
initialized to 1 when a region is just registered; once it becomes zero,
no more mappings allowe;
- @used: incremented on every "register" ioctl; decremented on
"unregister"; unregistration is allowed for DMA mapped regions unless
it is the very last reference. For the very last reference this checks
that the region is still mapped and returns -EBUSY so the userspace
gets to know that memory is still pinned and unregistration needs to
be retried; @used remains 1.

Host physical addresses are stored in vmalloc'ed array. In order to
access these in the real mode (mmu off), there is a real_vmalloc_addr()
helper. In-kernel acceleration patchset will move it from KVM to MMU code.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.

Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:

# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.

On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

Becky Bruce 41151e77a4 powerpc: Hugetlb for BookE
Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors.  This allows the kernel to
use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of
TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with
large memory footprints.  Care should be taken when using this on FSL
processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low
(16-64) on current processors.

The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g.
Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and
must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated).

This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE
processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for
64-bit BooKE.

on PPC32 on the 64-bit side to setup the linear mapping to be cover by
bolted TLB entries.  We utilize a quarter of the variable size TLB array
for this purpose.

Additionally, we limit the amount of memory to what we can cover via
bolted entries so we don't get secondary faults in the TLB miss
handlers.  We should fix this limitation in the future.

implemented in misc_32.S for 32-bit processors, in a fairly scary
mess of #ifdef's and with interesting duplication such as a whole
bunch of code for FSL _tlbie and _tlbia which are no longer used.

This moves things around such that _tlbie is now defined in
hash_low_32.S and is only used by the 32-bit hash code, and all
nohash CPUs use the various _tlbil_* forms that are now moved to
a new file, tlb_nohash_low.S.

I moved all the definitions for that stuff out of
include/asm/tlbflush.h as they are really internal mm stuff, into
mm/mmu_decl.h

The code should have no functional changes.  I kept some variants
inline for trivial forms on things like 40x and 8xx.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt f048aace29 powerpc/mm: Add SMP support to no-hash TLB handling
This commit moves the whole no-hash TLB handling out of line into a
new tlb_nohash.c file, and implements some basic SMP support using
IPIs and/or broadcast tlbivax instructions.

Note that I'm using local invalidations for D->I cache coherency.

At worst, if another processor is trying to execute the same and
has the old entry in its TLB, it will just take a fault and re-do
the TLB flush locally (it won't re-do the cache flush in any case).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 5e696617c4 powerpc/mm: Split mmu_context handling
This splits the mmu_context handling between 32-bit hash based
processors, 64-bit hash based processors and everybody else.  This is
preliminary work for adding SMP support for BookE processors.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt e41e811a79 powerpc/mm: Rename tlb_32.c and tlb_64.c to tlb_hash32.c and tlb_hash64.c
This renames the files to clarify the fact that they are used by
the hash based family of CPUs (the 603 being an exception in that
family but is still handled by that code).

This paves the way for the new tlb_nohash.c coming via a subsequent
commit.

Kumar Gala 0186f47e70 powerpc: Use RCU based pte freeing mechanism for all powerpc
Refactor the RCU based pte free code that was used on ppc64 to be used
on all powerpc.

Additionally refactor pte_free() & pte_free_kernel() into common code
between ppc32 & ppc64.

Nick Piggin ce0ad7f095 powerpc/mm: Lockless get_user_pages_fast() for 64-bit (v3)
Implement lockless get_user_pages_fast for 64-bit powerpc.

Page table existence is guaranteed with RCU, and speculative page references
are used to take a reference to the pages without having a prior existence
guarantee on them.
