bb8646d834 [SPARC64]: Optimized TSB table initialization.
We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes,
so taking advantage of this can save many instructions
compared to the simple memset() call we make now.

A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u
and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara.

The next trick is to be able to perform an init and
a copy_tsb() in parallel when growing a TSB table.

7a1ac52641 [SPARC64]: Fix and re-enable dynamic TSB sizing.
This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases.
The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged
them all up here.

1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB
   switching to and from kernel threads.

   We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus
   use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event.

   There is a big comment now in that function describing
   exactly how it can happen.

2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be
   guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock.  This makes
   page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both
   TSB growing and TLB context changes.

3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault
   processing.  Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but
   that is deadlock prone.  At the end of do_sparc64_fault()
   we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow
   sequence.  We also have dropped the address space semaphore.

While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine
and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file.  This piece of
code is quite time critical.

There are some small negative side effects to this code which
can be improved upon.  In particular we grab the mm->context.lock
even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's
a bit excessive.  We can get rid of that locking, and the same
lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around
the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer
and tsb_nentries value.  That would work because anyone growing
the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the
TSB change cross call.

I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in
right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description
is here for reference.

This code seems very solid now.  It passes several parallel GCC
bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is
a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel.  That puts
about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu
migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity,
incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine
real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test
system. :-)

74ae998772 [SPARC64]: Simplify TSB insert checks.
Don't try to avoid putting non-base page sized entries
into the user TSB.  It actually costs us more to check
this than it helps.

Eventually we'll have a multiple TSB scheme for user
processes.  Once a process starts using larger pages,
we'll allocate and use such a TSB.

45f791eb0f [SPARC64]: Fix _PAGE_EXEC handling.
First of all, use the known _PAGE_EXEC_{4U,4V} value instead
of loading _PAGE_EXEC from memory.  We either know which one
to use by context, or we can code patch the test.

Next, we need to check executability of a PTE in the generic
TSB miss handler.

8b23427441 [SPARC64]: More TLB/TSB handling fixes.
The SUN4V convention with non-shared TSBs is that the context
bit of the TAG is clear.  So we have to choose an "invalid"
bit and initialize new TSBs appropriately.  Otherwise a zero
TAG looks "valid".

Make sure, for the window fixup cases, that we use the right
global registers and that we don't potentially trample on
the live global registers in etrap/rtrap handling (%g2 and
%g6) and that we put the missing virtual address properly
in %g5.

a7b31bac69 [SPARC64]: Do not write garbage into %pstate in tsb_context_switch().

36a68e77c5 [SPARC64]: Simplify sun4v TLB handling using macros.
There was also a bug in sun4v_itlb_miss, it loaded the
MMU Fault Status base into %g3 instead of %g2.

This pointed out a fast path for TSB miss processing,
since we have %g2 with the MMU Fault Status base, we
can use that to quickly load up the PGD phys address.

aa9143b971 [SPARC64]: Implement sun4v TSB miss handlers.
When we register a TSB with the hypervisor, so that it or hardware can
handle TLB misses and do the TSB walk for us, the hypervisor traps
down to these trap when it incurs a TSB miss.

Processing is simple, we load the missing virtual address and context,
and do a full page table walk.

517af33237 [SPARC64]: Access TSB with physical addresses when possible.
This way we don't need to lock the TSB into the TLB.
The trick is that every TSB load/store is registered into
a special instruction patch section.  The default uses
virtual addresses, and the patch instructions use physical
address load/stores.

We can't do this on all chips because only cheetah+ and later
have the physical variant of the atomic quad load.

98c5584cfc [SPARC64]: Add infrastructure for dynamic TSB sizing.
This also cleans up tsb_context_switch().  The assembler
routine is now __tsb_context_switch() and the former is
an inline function that picks out the bits from the mm_struct
and passes it into the assembler code as arguments.

setup_tsb_parms() computes the locked TLB entry to map the
TSB.  Later when we support using the physical address quad
load instructions of Cheetah+ and later, we'll simply use
the physical address for the TSB register value and set
the map virtual and PTE both to zero.

56fb4df6da [SPARC64]: Elminate all usage of hard-coded trap globals.
UltraSPARC has special sets of global registers which are switched to
for certain trap types.  There is one set for MMU related traps, one
set of Interrupt Vector processing, and another set (called the
Alternate globals) for all other trap types.

For what seems like forever we've hard coded the values in some of
these trap registers.  Some examples include:

1) Interrupt Vector global %g6 holds current processors interrupt
   work struct where received interrupts are managed for IRQ handler
   dispatch.

2) MMU global %g7 holds the base of the page tables of the currently
   active address space.

3) Alternate global %g6 held the current_thread_info() value.

Such hardcoding has resulted in some serious issues in many areas.
There are some code sequences where having another register available
would help clean up the implementation.  Taking traps such as
cross-calls from the OBP firmware requires some trick code sequences
wherein we have to save away and restore all of the special sets of
global registers when we enter/exit OBP.

We were also using the IMMU TSB register on SMP to hold the per-cpu
area base address, which doesn't work any longer now that we actually
use the TSB facility of the cpu.

The implementation is pretty straight forward.  One tricky bit is
getting the current processor ID as that is different on different cpu
variants.  We use a stub with a fancy calling convention which we
patch at boot time.  The calling convention is that the stub is
branched to and the (PC - 4) to return to is in register %g1.  The cpu
number is left in %g6.  This stub can be invoked by using the
__GET_CPUID macro.

We use an array of per-cpu trap state to store the current thread and
physical address of the current address space's page tables.  The
TRAP_LOAD_THREAD_REG loads %g6 with the current thread from this
table, it uses __GET_CPUID and also clobbers %g1.

TRAP_LOAD_IRQ_WORK is used by the interrupt vector processing to load
the current processor's IRQ software state into %g6.  It also uses
__GET_CPUID and clobbers %g1.

Finally, TRAP_LOAD_PGD_PHYS loads the physical address base of the
current address space's page tables into %g7, it clobbers %g1 and uses
__GET_CPUID.

Many refinements are possible, as well as some tuning, with this stuff
in place.

74bf4312ff [SPARC64]: Move away from virtual page tables, part 1.
We now use the TSB hardware assist features of the UltraSPARC
MMUs.

SMP is currently knowingly broken, we need to find another place
to store the per-cpu base pointers.  We hid them away in the TSB
base register, and that obviously will not work any more :-)

Another known broken case is non-8KB base page size.

Also noticed that flush_tlb_all() is not referenced anywhere, only
the internal __flush_tlb_all() (local cpu only) is used by the
sparc64 port, so we can get rid of flush_tlb_all().

The kernel gets it's own 8KB TSB (swapper_tsb) and each address space
gets it's own private 8K TSB.  Later we can add code to dynamically
increase the size of per-process TSB as the RSS grows.  An 8KB TSB is
good enough for up to about a 4MB RSS, after which the TSB starts to
incur many capacity and conflict misses.

We even accumulate OBP translations into the kernel TSB.

Another area for refinement is large page size support.  We could use
a secondary address space TSB to handle those.
