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

/*
* The PowerPC MPC8xx uses a TLB with hardware assisted, software tablewalk.
* We also use the two level tables, but we can put the real bits in them
* needed for the TLB and tablewalk. These definitions require Mx_CTR.PPM = 0,
* Mx_CTR.PPCS = 0, and MD_CTR.TWAM = 1. The level 2 descriptor has
* additional page protection (when Mx_CTR.PPCS = 1) that allows TLB hit
* based upon user/super access. The TLB does not have accessed nor write
* protect. We assume that if the TLB get loaded with an entry it is
* accessed, and overload the changed bit for write protect. We use
* two bits in the software pte that are supposed to be set to zero in
* the TLB entry (24 and 25) for these indicators. Although the level 1
* descriptor contains the guarded and writethrough/copyback bits, we can
* set these at the page level since they get copied from the Mx_TWC
* register when the TLB entry is loaded. We will use bit 27 for guard, since
* that is where it exists in the MD_TWC, and bit 26 for writethrough.
* These will get masked from the level 2 descriptor at TLB load time, and
* copied to the MD_TWC before it gets loaded.
* Large page sizes added. We currently support two sizes, 4K and 8M.
* This also allows a TLB hander optimization because we can directly
* load the PMD into MD_TWC. The 8M pages are only used for kernel
* mapping of well known areas. The PMD (PGD) entries contain control
* flags in addition to the address, so care must be taken that the
* software no longer assumes these are only pointers.
