In commit e616c59140, highmem support was
deactivated for SMP platforms without hardware TLB ops broadcast because
usage of kmap_high_get() requires that IRQs be disabled when kmap_lock
is locked which is incompatible with the IPI mechanism used by the
software TLB ops broadcast invoked through flush_all_zero_pkmaps().
The reason for kmap_high_get() is to ensure that the currently kmap'd
page usage count does not decrease to zero while we're using its
existing virtual mapping in an atomic context. With a VIVT cache this
is essential to do due to cache coherency issues, but with a VIPT cache
this is only an optimization so not to pay the price of establishing a
second mapping if an existing one can be used. However, on VIPT
platforms without hardware TLB maintenance we can give up on that
optimization in order to be able to use highmem.
From ARMv7 onwards the TLB ops are broadcasted in hardware, so let's
disable ARCH_NEEDS_KMAP_HIGH_GET only when CONFIG_SMP and
CONFIG_CPU_TLB_V6 are defined.

For the Kernel to support 2 level and 3 level page tables, physical

This patch uses the %08llx conversion specifier for physical addresses
and page table entries, ensuring that they are cast to (long long) so

This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and
__switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register.
Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page
tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the
kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in
the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and
newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory.
Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific
functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel
memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set
to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to
the LDR/STR ones.
The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only
access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still
works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register
(CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page
isn't possible.
The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok()
function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

Use memblock information to setup lowmem mappings rather than the
membank array.
This allows platforms to manipulate the memblock information during
initialization to reserve (and remove) memory from the kernel's view
of memory - and thus allowing platforms to setup their own private
mappings for this memory without causing problems with multiple
aliasing mappings:
size = min(size, SZ_2M);
base = memblock_alloc(size, min(align, SZ_2M));
memblock_free(base, size);
memblock_remove(base, size);
This is needed because multiple mappings of regions with differing
attributes (sharability, type, cache) are not permitted with ARMv6
and above.

UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have,
so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite
parts of the kernel.
Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data
is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions,
thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker
to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values,
and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

ARMv7 onwards requires that there are no aliases to the same physical
location using different memory types (i.e. Normal vs Strongly Ordered).
Access to SO mappings when the unaligned accesses are handled in
hardware is also Unpredictable (pgprot_noncached() mappings in user
space).
The /dev/mem driver requires uncached mappings with O_SYNC. The patch
implements the phys_mem_access_prot() function which generates Strongly
Ordered memory attributes if !pfn_valid() (independent of O_SYNC) and
Normal Noncacheable (writecombine) if O_SYNC.

Mapping the same memory using two different attributes (memory
type, shareability, cacheability) is unpredictable. During boot,
we encounter a situation when we're updating the kernel's page
tables which can lead to dirty cache lines existing in the cache
which are subsequently missed. This causes stack corruption,
and therefore a crash.
Therefore, ensure that the shared and cacheability settings
matches the configuration that will be used later; this together
with the restriction in early_cachepolicy() ensures that we won't
create a mismatch during boot.

We suffer an unfortunate combination of "features" which makes highmem
support on platforms without hardware TLB maintainence broadcast difficult:
- we need kmap_high_get() support for DMA cache coherence
- this requires kmap_high() to take a spinlock with IRQs disabled
- kmap_high() occasionally calls flush_all_zero_pkmaps() to clear
out old mappings
- flush_all_zero_pkmaps() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range(), which
on s/w IPI'd systems eventually calls smp_call_function_many()
- smp_call_function_many() must not be called with IRQs disabled:

Currently, highmem is selectable, and you can request an increased
vmalloc area. However, none of this has any effect on the memory
layout since a patch in the highmem series was accidentally dropped.
Moreover, even if you did want highmem, all memory would still be
registered as lowmem, possibly resulting in overflow of the available
virtual mapping space.
The highmem boundary is determined by the highest allowed beginning
of the vmalloc area, which depends on its configurable minimum size
(see commit 60296c71f6 for details on
this).
We should create mappings and initialize bootmem only for low memory,
while the zone allocator must still be told about highmem.
Currently, memory nodes which are completely located in high memory
are not supported. This is not a huge limitation since systems
relying on highmem support are unlikely to have discontiguous memory
with large holes.
[ A similar patch was meant to be merged before commit 5f0fbf9eca
and be available in Linux v2.6.30, however some git rebase screw-up
of mine dropped the first commit of the series, and that goofage
escaped testing somehow as well. -- Nico ]
