6dd9344cfc MIPS: Implement Read Inhibit/eXecute Inhibit
The SmartMIPS ASE specifies how Read Inhibit (RI) and eXecute Inhibit
(XI) bits in the page tables work.  The upper two bits of EntryLo{0,1}
are RI and XI when the feature is enabled in the PageGrain register.
SmartMIPS only covers 32-bit systems.  Cavium Octeon+ extends this to
64-bit systems by continuing to place the RI and XI bits in the top of
EntryLo even when EntryLo is 64-bits wide.

Because we need to carry the RI and XI bits in the PTE, the layout of
the PTE is changed.  There is a two instruction overhead in the TLB
refill hot path to get the EntryLo bits into the proper position.
Also the TLB load exception has to probe the TLB to check if RI or XI
caused the exception.

Also of note is that the layout of the PTE bits is done at compile and
runtime rather than statically.  In the 32-bit case this allows for
the same number of PFN bits as before the patch as the _PAGE_HUGE is
not supported in 32-bit kernels (we have _PAGE_NO_EXEC and
_PAGE_NO_READ instead of _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_HUGE).

The patch is tested on Cavium Octeon+, but should also work on 32-bit
systems with the Smart-MIPS ASE.

91dfc423cc MIPS: 64-bit: Detect virtual memory size
Linux kernel 2.6.32 and later allocate address space from the top of the
kernel virtual memory address space.

This patch implements virtual memory size detection for 64 bit MIPS CPUs
to avoid resulting crashes.

b791d1193a MIPS: Allow kernel use of LL/SC to be separate from the presence of LL/SC.
On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the
kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations.  But if we were to set
cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in
asm/futex.h).

We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that
lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex
code to use it.

Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc
unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.

fbeda19f82 MIPS: Allow CPU specific overriding of CP0 hwrena impl bits.
Some CPUs have implementation dependent rdhwr registers.  Allow them
to be enabled on a per CPU basis.

41f0e4d041 MIPS: Allow R2 CPUs to turn off generation of 'ehb' instructions.
Some CPUs do not need ehb instructions after writing CP0 registers.
By allowing ehb generation to be overridden in
cpu-feature-overrides.h, we can save a few instructions in the TLB
handler hot paths.
