6ac5c61082 sparc: replace uses of CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:

	#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }

Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:

	#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)

Which formalizes this practice.  One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).

73fffc037e sparc64: Get rid of real_setup_per_cpu_areas().
Now that we defer the cpu_data() initializations to the end of per-cpu
setup, we can get rid of this local hack we had to setup the per-cpu
areas eary.

This is a necessary step in order to support HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA
since the per-cpu setup must run when page structs are available.

ad6561dffa module: trim exception table on init free.
It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules.  These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup.  The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).

Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.

This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code.  Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.

Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.

9b02605826 sparc64: Kill bogus TPC/address truncation during 32-bit faults.
This builds upon eeabac7386
("sparc64: Validate kernel generated fault addresses on sparc64.")

Upon further consideration, we actually should never see any
fault addresses for 32-bit tasks with the upper 32-bits set.

If it does every happen, by definition it's a bug.  Whatever
context created that fault would only have that fault satisfied
if we used the full 64-bit address.  If we truncate it, we'll
always fault the wrong address and we'll always loop faulting
forever.

So catch such conditions and mark them as errors always.  Log
the error and fail the fault.

eeabac7386 sparc64: Validate kernel generated fault addresses on sparc64.
In order to handle all of the cases of address calculation overflow
properly, we run sparc 32-bit processes in "address masking" mode
when running on a 64-bit kernel.

Address masking mode zeros out the top 32-bits of the address
calculated for every load and store instruction.

However, when we're in privileged mode we have to run with that
address masking mode disabled even when accessing userspace from
the kernel.

To "simulate" the address masking mode we clear the top-bits by
hand for 32-bit processes in the fault handler.

It is the responsibility of code in the compat layer to properly
zero extend addresses used to access userspace.  If this isn't
followed properly we can get into a fault loop.

Say that the user address is 0xf0000000 but for whatever reason
the kernel code sign extends this to 64-bit, and then the kernel
tries to access the result.

In such a case we'll fault on address 0xfffffffff0000000 but the fault
handler will process that fault as if it were to address 0xf0000000.
We'll loop faulting forever because the fault never gets satisfied.

So add a check specifically for this case, when the kernel is faulting
on a user address access and the addresses don't match up.

This code path is sufficiently slow path, and this bug is sufficiently
painful to diagnose, that this kind of bug check is warranted.

Andrew Morton wrote:

    People keep on doing

            printk("%llu", some_u64);

    testing it only on x86_64 and this generates a warning storm on
    powerpc, sparc64, etc.  Because they use `long', not `long long'.

    Quite a few 64-bit architectures are using `long' for their
    s64/u64 types.  We should convert them all to `long long'.

Update types.h so we use unsigned long long for u64 and
fix all warnings in sparc64 code.
Tested with an allnoconfig, defconfig and allmodconfig builds.

This patch introduces additional warnings in several drivers.
These will be dealt with in separate patches.

9f2b2a5f68 sparc32: More memory probing consolidation.
The PROM library function prom_meminit() builds a table,
prom_phys_avail[], just so that probe_memory() in
arch/sparc/mm/fault.c can copy it into sp_banks[].

Just have prom_meminit() fill in the sp_banks[] array directly, and
remove duplicated sort() function.

ccc34028d4 sparc32: Kill totally unused memory information tables.
The code in arch/sparc/prom/memory.c computes three tables, the list
of total memory, the list of available memory (total minus what
firmware is using), and the list of firmware taken memory.

Only the available memory list is even used.

Therefore, kill those unused tables and make prom_meminfo() return
just the available memory list.

2f569afd9c CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.
Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390.  These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM.  The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste).  The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction.  The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.

Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K.  That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page.  Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).

Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t.  For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch.  For everybody else it will be a (struct page *).  The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor.  The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed.  pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
 To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added.  It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.
