James Hogan 3d6b7bb0a2 metag: protect more non-MMU memory regions
Rename setup_txprivext() to setup_priv() and add initialisation of some
more per-thread privilege protection registers:

 - TxPRIVSYSR: 0x04400000-0x047fffff
               0x05000000-0x07ffffff
               0x84000000-0x87ffffff
 - TxPIOREG:   0x02000000-0x02ffffff
               0x04800000-0x048fffff
 - TxSYREG:    0x04000000-0x04000fff (except write fetch system event)

James Hogan 6006c0d8ce metag: Atomics, locks and bitops
Add header files to implement Meta hardware thread locks (used by some
other atomic operations), atomics, spinlocks, and bitops.

There are 2 main types of atomic primitives for metag (in addition to
IRQs off on UP):
 - LOCK instructions provide locking between hardware threads.
 - LNKGET/LNKSET instructions provide load-linked/store-conditional
   operations allowing for lighter weight atomics on Meta2

LOCK instructions allow for hardware threads to acquire voluntary or
exclusive hardware thread locks:
 - LOCK0 releases exclusive and voluntary lock from the running hardware
   thread.
 - LOCK1 acquires the voluntary hardware lock, blocking until it becomes
   available.
 - LOCK2 implies LOCK1, and additionally acquires the exclusive hardware
   lock, blocking all other hardware threads from executing.

James Hogan bc3966bf15 metag: ptrace
The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
from the signal context.

struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
purpose register context.

struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
taking place.

struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
hand optimised data loops.

Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
aren't yet exposed through ptrace.

James Hogan 373cd784d0 metag: Memory handling
Meta has instructions for accessing:
 - bytes        - GETB (1 byte)
 - words        - GETW (2 bytes)
 - doublewords  - GETD (4 bytes)
 - longwords    - GETL (8 bytes)

All accesses must be aligned. Unaligned accesses can be detected and
made to fault on Meta2, however it isn't possible to fix up unaligned
writes so we don't bother fixing up reads either.

This patch adds metag memory handling code including:
 - I/O memory (io.h, ioremap.c): Actually any virtual memory can be
   accessed with these helpers. A part of the non-MMUable address space
   is used for memory mapped I/O. The ioremap() function is implemented
   one to one for non-MMUable addresses.
 - User memory (uaccess.h, usercopy.c): User memory is directly
   accessible from privileged code.
 - Kernel memory (maccess.c): probe_kernel_write() needs to be
   overwridden to use the I/O functions when doing a simple aligned
   write to non-writecombined memory, otherwise the write may be split
   by the generic version.

Note that due to the fact that a portion of the virtual address space is
non-MMUable, and therefore always maps directly to the physical address
space, metag specific I/O functions are made available (metag_in32,
metag_out32 etc). These cast the address argument to a pointer so that
they can be used with raw physical addresses. These accessors are only
to be used for accessing fixed core Meta architecture registers in the
non-MMU region, and not for any SoC/peripheral registers.

James Hogan f5df8e268f metag: Memory management
Add memory management files for metag.

Meta's 32bit virtual address space is split into two halves:
 - local (0x08000000-0x7fffffff): traditionally local to a hardware
   thread and incoherent between hardware threads. Each hardware thread
   has it's own local MMU table. On Meta2 the local space can be
   globally coherent (GCOn) if the cache partitions coincide.
 - global (0x88000000-0xffff0000): coherent and traditionally global
   between hardware threads. On Meta2, each hardware thread has it's own
   global MMU table.

The low 128MiB of each half is non-MMUable and maps directly to the
physical address space:
 - 0x00010000-0x07ffffff: contains Meta core registers and maps SoC bus
 - 0x80000000-0x87ffffff: contains low latency global core memories

Linux usually further splits the local virtual address space like this:
 - 0x08000000-0x3fffffff: user mappings
 - 0x40000000-0x7fffffff: kernel mappings

James Hogan 99ef7c2ac1 metag: Cache/TLB handling
Add cache and TLB handling code for metag, including the required
callbacks used by MM switches and DMA operations. Caches can be
partitioned between the hardware threads and the global space, however
this is usually configured by the bootloader so Linux doesn't make any
changes to this configuration. TLBs aren't configurable, so only need
consideration to flush them.

On Meta1 the L1 cache was VIVT which required a full flush on MM switch.
Meta2 has a VIPT L1 cache so it doesn't require the full flush on MM
switch. Meta2 can also have a writeback L2 with hardware prefetch which
requires some special handling. Support is optional, and the L2 can be
detected and initialised by Linux.

not uncommon for an RTOS or bare metal application to be started on

switch which affects all threads, the MMU is traditionally configured by
the bootloader prior to starting Linux. The bootloader passes a
structure to Linux which among other things contains information about
memory regions which have been mapped. Linux then assumes control of the
local heap memory region.

A kernel arguments string pointer or a flattened device tree pointer can
be provided in the third argument.

James Hogan c19fa94a8f Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
On 64 bit architectures with no efficient unaligned access, padding and
explicit alignment must be added in various places to prevent unaligned
64bit accesses (such as taskstats and trace ring buffer).

However this also needs to apply to 32 bit architectures with 64 bit
accesses requiring alignment such as metag.

This is solved by adding a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
which defaults to 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, and can be
explicitly selected by METAG and any other relevant architectures. This
can be used in various places to determine whether 64bit alignment is
required.

Make asm-generic/io.h check CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS before defining
virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt(), otherwise it's easy to accidentally
have a silently failing incorrect direct mapped definition rather then
no definition at all.

Linus Torvalds 37cae6ad4c The main addition here is a long-desired target framework to allow
an SSD to be used as a cache in front of a slower device.  Cache
 tuning is delegated to interchangeable policy modules so these can
 be developed independently of the mechanics needed to shuffle the
 data around.
 
 Other than that, kcopyd users acquire a throttling parameter, ioctl
 buffer usage gets streamlined, more mempool reliance is reduced
 and there are a few other bug fixes and tidy-ups.

Pull SCSI target patches from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the remaining target-pending patches for v3.9-rc1.

  The most important one here is the immediate queue starvation
  regression fix for iscsi-target, which addresses a bug that's
  effecting v3.5+ kernels under heavy sustained READ only workloads.
  Thanks alot to Benjamin Estrabaud for helping to track this down!

  Also included is a pSCSI exception bugfix from Asias, along with a
  handful of other minor changes.  Both bugfixes are CC'ed to stable."

* 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending:
  target/pscsi: Rename sg_num to nr_vecs in pscsi_get_bio()
  target/pscsi: Fix page increment
  target/pscsi: Drop unnecessary NULL assignment to bio->bi_next
  target: Add __exit annotation for module_exit functions
  iscsi-target: Fix immediate queue starvation regression with DATAIN
