We are going to drop pte_common.h in the later patch. The idea is to
enable hash code not require to define all PTE bits. Having PTE bits
defined in pte_common.h made the code unnecessarily complex.

Two DSCR tests have a hack in them:
/*
* XXX: Force a context switch out so that DSCR
* current value is copied into the thread struct
* which is required for the child to inherit the
* changed value.
*/
sleep(1);
We should not be working around this in the testcase, it is a kernel bug.
Fix it by copying the current DSCR to the child, instead of what we
had in the thread struct at last context switch.

commit 152d523e6307 ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers save_sprs()
and restore_sprs()") moved the restore of SPRs after the call to _switch().
There is an issue with this approach - new tasks do not return through
_switch(), they are set up by copy_thread() to directly return through
ret_from_fork() or ret_from_kernel_thread(). This means restore_sprs() is
not getting called for new tasks.
Fix this by moving restore_sprs() before _switch().

Move all our context switch SPR save and restore code into two
helpers. We do a few optimisations:
- Group all mfsprs and all mtsprs. In many cases an mtspr sets a
scoreboarding bit that an mfspr waits on, so the current practise of
mfspr A; mtspr A; mfpsr B; mtspr B is the worst scheduling we can
do.
- SPR writes are slow, so check that the value is changing before
writing it.

Currently, if HV KVM is configured but PR KVM isn't, we don't include
a test to see whether we were interrupted in KVM guest context for the
set of interrupts which get delivered directly to the guest by hardware
if they occur in the guest. This includes things like program
interrupts.
However, the recent bug where userspace could set the MSR for a VCPU
to have an illegal value in the TS field, and thus cause a TM Bad Thing
type of program interrupt on the hrfid that enters the guest, showed that
we can never be completely sure that these interrupts can never occur
in the guest entry/exit code. If one of these interrupts does happen
and we have HV KVM configured but not PR KVM, then we end up trying to
run the handler in the host with the MMU set to the guest MMU context,
which generally ends badly.
Thus, for robustness it is better to have the test in every interrupt
vector, so that if some way is found to trigger some interrupt in the
guest entry/exit path, we can handle it without immediately crashing
the host.
This means that the distinction between KVMTEST and KVMTEST_PR goes
away. Thus we delete KVMTEST_PR and associated macros and use KVMTEST
everywhere that we previously used either KVMTEST_PR or KVMTEST. It
also means that SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 becomes the same as SOFTEN_TEST_PR,
so we deleted SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 and use SOFTEN_TEST_PR instead.

It is common practice with powerpc to use 'rN' to refer to register 'N'. However
when using the pt_regs_offset table we have to use 'gprN'.
So add aliases such that both 'rN' and 'gprN' can be used.
For example, we can currently do:
$ su -
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %gpr3:s32 +0(%gpr4):string %gpr5:s32 %gpr6:s32 %gpr7:s32" > kprobe_events
$ echo 1 > events/probe/sys_fchownat/enable
$ touch /tmp/foo
$ chown root /tmp/foo
$ echo 0 > events/enable
$ cat trace
chown-2925 [014] d... 76.160657: sys_fchownat: (SyS_fchownat+0x8/0x1a0) arg1=-100 arg2="/tmp/foo" arg3=0 arg4=-1 arg5=0
Instead we'd like to be able to use:
$ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %r3:s32 +0(%r4):string %r5:s32 %r6:s32 %r7:s32" > kprobe_events

When writing a value to config space, cxl_pcie_write_config() calls
cxl_pcie_config_info() to obtain a mask and shift value, shifts the new
value accordingly, then uses the mask to combine the shifted value with the
existing value at the address as part of a read-modify-write pattern.
Currently, we use a logical OR operator rather than a bitwise OR operator,
which means any use of this function results in an incorrect value being
written. Replace the logical OR operator with a bitwise OR operator so the
value is written correctly.

An idr warning is reported when a context is release after the capi card
is unbound from the cxl driver via sysfs. Below are the steps to
reproduce:
1. Create multiple afu contexts in an user-space application using libcxl.
2. Unbind capi card from cxl using command of form
echo <capi-card-pci-addr> > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/cxl-pci/unbind
3. Exit/kill the application owning afu contexts.
After above steps a warning message is usually seen in the kernel logs
of the form "idr_remove called for id=<context-id> which is not
allocated."
This is caused by the function cxl_release_afu which destroys the
contexts_idr table. So when a context is release no entry for context pe
is found in the contexts_idr table and idr code prints this warning.
This patch fixes this issue by increasing & decreasing the ref-count on
the afu device when a context is initialized or when its freed
respectively. This prevents the afu from being released until all the
afu contexts have been released. The patch introduces two new functions
namely cxl_afu_get/put that manage the ref-count on the afu device.
Also the patch removes code inside cxl_dev_context_init that increases ref
on the afu device as its guaranteed to be alive during this function.

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.
Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().
This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.
A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
each with a separate head pointer.
3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking. This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).
Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.
This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.
Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

Adjust the linker script and map_pages() to map kernel text and data on
physical 1MB huge/large pages.

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.
The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.
