Benjamin Herrenschmidt ea3cc330ac powerpc/mm: Cleanup handling of execute permission
This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute
permission on powerpc. _PAGE_HWEXEC is gone, _PAGE_EXEC is now only
defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
#ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
hopefully should cover everything.

The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
it already was in that area due to that change.

I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
execute permissions... Unless I missed something

/*
* At present, all PowerPC 400-class processors share a similar TLB
* architecture. The instruction and data sides share a unified,
* 64-entry, fully-associative TLB which is maintained totally under
* software control. In addition, the instruction side has a
* hardware-managed, 4-entry, fully-associative TLB which serves as a
* first level to the shared TLB. These two TLBs are known as the UTLB
* and ITLB, respectively (see "mmu.h" for definitions).
*
* There are several potential gotchas here. The 40x hardware TLBLO
* field looks like this:
*
* 0 1 2 3 4 ... 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
* RPN..................... 0 0 EX WR ZSEL....... W I M G
*
* Where possible we make the Linux PTE bits match up with this
*
* - bits 20 and 21 must be cleared, because we use 4k pages (40x can
* support down to 1k pages), this is done in the TLBMiss exception
* handler.
* - We use only zones 0 (for kernel pages) and 1 (for user pages)
* of the 16 available. Bit 24-26 of the TLB are cleared in the TLB
* miss handler. Bit 27 is PAGE_USER, thus selecting the correct
* zone.
* - PRESENT *must* be in the bottom two bits because swap cache
* entries use the top 30 bits. Because 40x doesn't support SMP
* anyway, M is irrelevant so we borrow it for PAGE_PRESENT. Bit 30
* is cleared in the TLB miss handler before the TLB entry is loaded.
* - All other bits of the PTE are loaded into TLBLO without
* modification, leaving us only the bits 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 30 for
* software PTE bits. We actually use use bits 21, 24, 25, and
* 30 respectively for the software bits: ACCESSED, DIRTY, RW, and
* PRESENT.
