30c5af435b powerpc: Use pr_devel() in do_dcache_icache_coherency()
pr_debug() can now result in code being generated even when DEBUG
is not defined. That's not really desirable in some places.

With CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y:

af3e4aca47 powerpc: Do not assert pte_locked for hugepage PTE entries
With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, an assertion is made when changing the protection
flags of a PTE that the PTE is locked. Huge pages use a different pagetable
format and the assertion is bogus and will always trigger with a bug looking
something like

This patch fixes the problem by not asseting the PTE is locked for VMAs
backed by huge pages.

56aa4129e8 cpumask: Use mm_cpumask() wrapper instead of cpu_vm_mask
Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask.

It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer
(the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

8d30c14cab powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)
This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on PowerPC.

The "old" way was split in 3 different parts depending on the processor type:

   - Hash with per-page exec support (64-bit and >= POWER4 only) does it
at hashing time, by preventing exec on unclean pages and cleaning pages
on exec faults.

   - Everything without per-page exec support (32-bit hash, 8xx, and
64-bit < POWER4) does it for all page going to user space in update_mmu_cache().

   - Embedded with per-page exec support does it from do_page_fault() on
exec faults, in a way similar to what the hash code does.

That leads to confusion, and bugs. For example, the method using update_mmu_cache()
is racy on SMP where another processor can see the new PTE and hash it in before
we have cleaned the cache, and then blow trying to execute. This is hard to hit but
I think it has bitten us in the past.

Also, it's inefficient for embedded where we always end up having to do at least
one more page fault.

This reworks the whole thing by moving the cache sync into two main call sites,
though we keep different behaviours depending on the HW capability. The call
sites are set_pte_at() which is now made out of line, and ptep_set_access_flags()
which joins the former in pgtable.c

The base idea for Embedded with per-page exec support, is that we now do the
flush at set_pte_at() time when coming from an exec fault, which allows us
to avoid the double fault problem completely (we can even improve the situation
more by implementing TLB preload in update_mmu_cache() but that's for later).

If for some reason we didn't do it there and we try to execute, we'll hit
the page fault, which will do a minor fault, which will hit ptep_set_access_flags()
to do things like update _PAGE_ACCESSED or _PAGE_DIRTY if needed, we just make
this guys also perform the I/D cache sync for exec faults now. This second path
is the catch all for things that weren't cleaned at set_pte_at() time.

For cpus without per-pag exec support, we always do the sync at set_pte_at(),
thus guaranteeing that when the PTE is visible to other processors, the cache
is clean.

For the 64-bit hash with per-page exec support case, we keep the old mechanism
for now. I'll look into changing it later, once I've reworked a bit how we
use _PAGE_EXEC.

This is also a first step for adding _PAGE_EXEC support for embedded platforms

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.
