8xx uses a two level page table with two different linux page size
support (4k and 16k). 8xx also support two different hugepage sizes
512k and 8M. In order to support them on linux we define two different
page table layout.
The size of pages is in the PGD entry, using PS field (bits 28-29):
00 : Small pages (4k or 16k)
01 : 512k pages
10 : reserved
11 : 8M pages
For 512K hugepage size a pgd entry have the below format
[<hugepte address >0101] . The hugepte table allocated will contain 8
entries pointing to 512K huge pte in 4k pages mode and 64 entries in
16k pages mode.
For 8M in 16k mode, a pgd entry have the below format
[<hugepte address >1101] . The hugepte table allocated will contain 8
entries pointing to 8M huge pte.
For 8M in 4k mode, multiple pgd entries point to the same hugepte
address and pgd entry will have the below format
[<hugepte address>1101]. The hugepte table allocated will only have one
entry.
For the time being, we do not support CPU15 ERRATA when HUGETLB is
selected

User space DTLB miss represent approximatly 90% of TLB misses
so make it the shortest path.
Also remove an unneccessary double jump in FixupDAR
Before this patch, we spend 3.3 TB ticks in the handler for each
user address miss and 3.4 TB ticks for each kernel address miss
After this patch, we send 3.0 TB ticks in the handler for each
user address miss and 3.9 TB ticks for each kernel address miss
Taking into account that user misses represent 90% of the total,
this patch provides an improvement of approx. 9%

CONFIG_PIN_TLB maps IMMR area and the first 24 Mbytes of memory.
In some circunstances it might be more interesting to not map
IMMR but map 32 Mbytes of memory instead.
Therefore we add config option CONFIG_PIN_TLB_IMMR to select if
IMMR shall be pinned or not, hence whether we pin 24 or 32 Mbytes of RAM

On recent kernels, with some debug options like for instance
CONFIG_LOCKDEP, the BSS requires more than 8M memory, allthough
the kernel code fits in the first 8M.
Today, it is necessary to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB to get more than 8M
at startup, allthough pinning TLB is not necessary for that.
We could have inconditionaly mapped 16 or 24M bytes at startup
but some old hardware only have 8M and mapping non-existing RAM
would be an issue due to speculative accesses.
With the preceding patch however, the TLB entries are populated on
demand. By setting up the TLB miss handler to handle up to 24M until
the handler is patched for the entire memory space, it is possible
to allow access up to more memory without mapping non-existing RAM.
It is therefore not needed anymore to map memory data at all
at startup. It will be handled by the TLB miss handler.
One might still want to PIN the IMMR and the first 24M of RAM.
It is now possible to do it in the C memory initialisation
functions. In addition, we now know how much memory we have
when we do it, so we are able to adapt the pining to the
real amount of memory available. So boards with less than 24M
can now also benefit from PIN_TLB.

Instead of using the first level page table to define mappings for
the linear memory space, we can use direct mapping from the TLB
handling routines. This has several advantages:
* No need to read the tables at each TLB miss
* No issue in 16k pages mode where the 1st level table maps 64 Mbytes
The size of the available linear space is known at system startup.
In order to avoid data access at each TLB miss to know the memory
size, the TLB routine is patched at startup with the proper size
This patch provides a 10%-15% improvment of TLB miss handling for
kernel addresses

Once the linear memory space has been mapped with 8Mb pages, as
seen in the related commit, we get 11 millions DTLB missed during
the reference 600s period. 77% of the misses are on user addresses
and 23% are on kernel addresses (1 fourth for linear address space
and 3 fourth for virtual address space)
Traditionaly, each driver manages one computer board which has its
own components with its own memory maps.
But on embedded chips like the MPC8xx, the SOC has all registers
located in the same IO area.
When looking at ioremaps done during startup, we see that
many drivers are re-mapping small parts of the IMMR for their own use
and all those small pieces gets their own 4k page, amplifying the
number of TLB misses: in our system we get 0xff000000 mapped 31 times
and 0xff003000 mapped 9 times.
Even if each part of IMMR was mapped only once with 4k pages, it would
still be several small mappings towards linear area.
This patch maps the IMMR with a single 512k page.
With this patch applied, the number of DTLB misses during the 10 min
period is reduced to 11.8 millions for a duration of 5.8s, which
represents 2% of the non-idle time hence yet another 10% reduction.

SLUB: HWalign=16, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=1, Nodes=1
Today, IMMR is mapped 1:1 at startup
Mapping IMMR 1:1 is just wrong because it may overlap with another
area. On most mpc8xx boards it is OK as IMMR is set to 0xff000000
but for instance on EP88xC board, IMMR is at 0xfa200000 which
overlaps with VM ioremap area
This patch fixes the virtual address for remapping IMMR with the fixmap
regardless of the value of IMMR.
The size of IMMR area is 256kbytes (CPM at offset 0, security engine
at offset 128k) so a 512k page is enough

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.

This patch implements PAGE_EXEC capability on the 8xx.

Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to Page
rules, "all Supervisor" rules (Exec for all) and
"all User" rules (Exec for noone)
Therefore, we define 4 APG groups. msb is _PAGE_EXEC,
lsb is _PAGE_USER. MI_AP is initialised as follows:
GP0 (00) => Not User, no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user)
GP1 (01) => User but no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user)
GP2 (10) => Not User, exec => 01 (rights according to page definition)
