[ Upstream commit aec982603aa8cc0a21143681feb5f60ecc69d718 ]

Unmapping a fixmap entry is done by calling __set_fixmap()
with FIXMAP_PAGE_CLEAR as flags.

Today, powerpc __set_fixmap() calls map_kernel_page().

map_kernel_page() is not happy when called a second time
for the same page.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A series from Nick adding ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM &amp; selecting
   it for powerpc, as well as a related fix for sparc.

 - Remove support for PowerPC 601.

 - Some fixes for watchpoints &amp; addition of a new ptrace flag for
   detecting ISA v3.1 (Power10) watchpoint features.

 - A fix for kernels using 4K pages and the hash MMU on bare metal
   Power9 systems with &gt; 16TB of RAM, or RAM on the 2nd node.

 - A basic idle driver for shallow stop states on Power10.

 - Tweaks to our sched domains code to better inform the scheduler about
   the hardware topology on Power9/10, where two SMT4 cores can be
   presented by firmware as an SMT8 core.

 - A series doing further reworks &amp; cleanups of our EEH code.

 - Addition of a filter for RTAS (firmware) calls done via sys_rtas(),
   to prevent root from overwriting kernel memory.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

<title>powerpc/mm: move setting pte specific flags to pfn_pte</title>

<id>urn:sha1:379c926d6334427b35fe7747f7758c865e20e9a9</id>
<content type='text'>
powerpc used to set the pte specific flags in set_pte_at().  This is
different from other architectures.  To be consistent with other
architecture update pfn_pte to set _PAGE_PTE on ppc64.  Also, drop now
unused pte_mkpte.

We add a VM_WARN_ON() to catch the usage of calling set_pte_at() without
setting _PAGE_PTE bit.  We will remove that after a few releases.

With respect to huge pmd entries, pmd_mkhuge() takes care of adding the
_PAGE_PTE bit.

<title>powerpc/8xx: Refactor calculation of number of entries per PTE in page tables</title>
<updated>2020-09-15T12:13:31Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=175a99991511fed16108dcb823f0af8e72325a1f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:175a99991511fed16108dcb823f0af8e72325a1f</id>
<content type='text'>
On 8xx, the number of entries occupied by a PTE in the page tables
depends on the size of the page. At the time being, this calculation
is done in two places: in pte_update() and in set_huge_pte_at()

Refactor this calculation into a helper called
number_of_cells_per_pte(). For the time being, the val param is
unused. It will be used by following patch.

Instead of opencoding is_hugepd(), use hugepd_ok() with a forward
declaration.

<title>mm: remove unneeded includes of &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;</title>

<author>
<name>Mike Rapoport</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=ca15ca406f660ad5fab55b851d2b269ce915c88d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:ca15ca406f660ad5fab55b851d2b269ce915c88d</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;"

Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table.  These patches add
generic versions of these functions in &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.

In addition, functions declared and defined in &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
&lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;

In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.

This patch (of 8):

In most cases &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; header is required only for allocations of
page table memory.  Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; and do not require that header.

As for the other header files that used to include &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt;, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from &lt;asm/pgalloc.h&gt; and drop the include from the header file.

The process was somewhat automated using

	sed -i -E '/[&lt;"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
                $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
                        $(git grep -E -l '[&lt;"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))

where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Support for userspace to send requests directly to the on-chip GZIP
   accelerator on Power9.

 - Rework of our lockless page table walking (__find_linux_pte()) to
   make it safe against parallel page table manipulations without
   relying on an IPI for serialisation.

 - A series of fixes &amp; enhancements to make our machine check handling
   more robust.

 - Lots of plumbing to add support for "prefixed" (64-bit) instructions
   on Power10.

 - Support for using huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx (32-bit).

 - Remove obsolete Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support, and an associated sound
   driver.

 - Removal of some obsolete 40x platforms and associated cruft.

 - Initial support for booting on Power10.

 - Lots of other small features, cleanups &amp; fixes.

Implement primitives necessary for the 4th level folding, add walks of p4d
level where appropriate and replace 5level-fixup.h with pgtable-nop4d.h.

<title>powerpc/8xx: Manage 512k huge pages as standard pages.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b250c8c08c79d1eb5354c7eaa84b7505f5f2d921'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b250c8c08c79d1eb5354c7eaa84b7505f5f2d921</id>
<content type='text'>
At the time being, 512k huge pages are handled through hugepd page
tables. The PMD entry is flagged as a hugepd pointer and it
means that only 512k hugepages can be managed in that 4M block.
However, the hugepd table has the same size as a normal page
table, and 512k entries can therefore be nested with normal pages.

On the 8xx, TLB loading is performed by software and allthough the
page tables are organised to match the L1 and L2 level defined by
the HW, all TLB entries have both L1 and L2 independent entries.
It means that even if two TLB entries are associated with the same
PMD entry, they can be loaded with different values in L1 part.

The L1 entry contains the page size (PS field):
- 00 for 4k and 16 pages
- 01 for 512k pages
- 11 for 8M pages

By adding a flag for hugepages in the PTE (_PAGE_HUGE) and copying it
into the lower bit of PS, we can then manage 512k pages with normal
page tables:
- PMD entry has PS=11 for 8M pages
- PMD entry has PS=00 for other pages.

As a PMD entry covers 4M areas, a PMD will either point to a hugepd
table having a single entry to an 8M page, or the PMD will point to
a standard page table which will have either entries to 4k or 16k or
512k pages. For 512k pages, as the L1 entry will not know it is a
512k page before the PTE is read, there will be 128 entries in the
PTE as if it was 4k pages. But when loading the TLB, it will be
flagged as a 512k page.

Note that we can't use pmd_ptr() in asm/nohash/32/pgtable.h because
it is not defined yet.

In ITLB miss, we keep the possibility to opt it out as when kernel
text is pinned and no user hugepages are used, we can save several
instruction by not using r11.

In DTLB miss, that's just one instruction so it's not worth bothering
with it.
