f5430f9325 x86: update reference for PAE tlb flushing
Remove bogus reference to "Pentium-II erratum A13" and point to the
actual canonical source of information about what requirements x86
processors have for PAE pagetable updates.

edd6bcd820 x86: pud_clear: only reload cr3 if necessary
Rather than unconditionally reloading cr3, only do so if the pud we're
updating is within the active pgd.

This eliminates TLB flushes most of the time.  The
performance-critical uses of pud_clear are during execve and exit, but
in those cases cr3 is referring to some other pagetable.  The only
other use of pud_clear is during a large (1Gbyte+) munmap, and those
are sufficiently rare that a couple of cr3 reloads won't hurt.

fa28ba21ce x86: defer cr3 reload when doing pud_clear()
PAE mode requires that we reload cr3 in order to guarantee that
changes to the pgd will be noticed by the processor.  This means that
in principle pud_clear needs to reload cr3 every time.  However,
because reloading cr3 implies a tlb flush, we want to avoid it where
possible.

pud_clear() is only used in a couple of places:
 - in free_pmd_range(), when pulling down a range of process address space, and
 - huge_pmd_unshare()

In both cases, the calling code will do a a tlb flush anyway, so
there's no need to do it within pud_clear().

In free_pmd_range(), the pud_clear is immediately followed by
pmd_free_tlb(); we can hook that to make the mmu_gather do an
unconditional full flush to make sure cr3 gets reloaded.

In huge_pmd_unshare, it is followed by flush_tlb_range, which always
results in a full cr3-reload tlb flush.

6194ba6ff6 x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much
In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case.  Previously
they were always allocated and freed with the pgd.  The modifies the
code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on
demand.

This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation
as much as possible.

There is a complicating wart, however.  When you install a new
reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see
it unless you reload cr3.  Since reloading cr3 also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to
avoid whereever possible.

This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the
current pagetable.  Later patches will optimise this further.

4c3c4b4513 x86: clean up pte_exec
- Rename it to pte_exec() from pte_exec_kernel(). There is nothing
kernel specific in there.
- Move it into the common file because _PAGE_NX is 0 on !PAE and then
pte_exec() will be always evaluate to true.

a5a19c63f4 x86: demacro asm-x86/pgalloc_32.h
Convert macros into inline functions, for better type-checking.

This patch required a little bit of fiddling with headers in order to
make __(pte|pmd)_free_tlb inline rather than macros.
asm-generic/tlb.h includes asm/pgalloc.h, though it doesn't directly
use any pgalloc definitions.  I removed this include to avoid an
include cycle, but it may cause secondary compile failures by things
depending on the indirect inclusion; arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c was one
such place; there may be others.

4891645e76 x86: unify paravirt pagetable accessors
Put all the defines for mapping pagetable operations to their native
versions (for the non-paravirt case) into one place.  Make the
corresponding changes to paravirt.h.

The tricky part here is that when a pagetable entry can't be updated
atomically (ie, 32-bit PAE), we need special handlers for pte_clear,
set_pte_atomic and set_pte_present.  However, the other two modes
don't need special handling for these, and can use a common
set_pte(_at) path.

c8e5393ab3 x86: page.h: make pte_t a union to always include
Make sure pte_t, whatever its definition, has a pte element with type
pteval_t.  This allows common code to access it without needing to be
specifically parameterised on what pagetable mode we're compiling for.
For 32-bit, this means that pte_t becomes a union with "pte" and "{
pte_low, pte_high }" (PAE) or just "pte_low" (non-PAE).

Make users of supported_pte_mask common.  This has the side-effect of
