On the 8xx, the page size is set in the PMD entry and applies to
all pages of the page table pointed by the said PMD entry.
When an app has some regular pages allocated (e.g. see below) and tries
to mmap() a huge page at a hint address covered by the same PMD entry,
the kernel accepts the hint allthough the 8xx cannot handle different
page sizes in the same PMD entry.

MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|0x40000, -1, 0) = 0x10080000
This results the app remaining forever in do_page_fault()/hugetlb_fault()
and when interrupting that app, we get the following warning:

In order to fix this, this patch uses the address space "slices"
implemented for BOOK3S/64 and enhanced to support PPC32 by the
preceding patch.
This patch modifies the context.id on the 8xx to be in the range
[1:16] instead of [0:15] in order to identify context.id == 0 as
not initialised contexts as done on BOOK3S
This patch activates CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is
selected for the 8xx
Alltough we could in theory have as many slices as PMD entries, the
current slices implementation limits the number of low slices to 16.
This limitation is not preventing us to fix the initial issue allthough
it is suboptimal. It will be cured in a subsequent patch.

When CONFIG_SWAP is set, the TLB miss handlers have to also take
into account _PAGE_ACCESSED flag. At the moment it is done by
anding _PAGE_ACCESSED into _PAGE_PRESENT using 3 instructions.
This patch uses APG for handling _PAGE_ACCESSED, allowing to
just copy _PAGE_ACCESSED bit into APG field, hence reducing the
action to a single instruction.

commit ac29c64089 ("powerpc/mm: Replace _PAGE_USER with
_PAGE_PRIVILEGED") introduced _PAGE_PRIVILEGED for BOOK3S/64
This patch generalises _PAGE_PRIVILEGED for all CPUs, allowing
to have either _PAGE_PRIVILEGED or _PAGE_USER or both.
PPC_8xx has a _PAGE_SHARED flag which is set for and only for
all non user pages. Lets rename it _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to remove
confusion as it has nothing to do with Linux shared pages.
On BookE, there's a _PAGE_BAP_SR which has to be set for kernel
pages: defining _PAGE_PRIVILEGED as _PAGE_BAP_SR will make
this generic

As stated in a comment in head_8xx.S, today we "Always pin the first
8 MB ITLB to prevent ITLB misses while mucking around with SRR0/SRR1
in asm".
This issue has just been cleared by the preceding patch, therefore
we can make this pinning optional (on by default) and independent
of DATA pinning.
This patch also makes pinning of IMMR independent of pinning of DATA.

CONFIG_PIN_TLB maps IMMR area and the first 24 Mbytes of memory.
In some circunstances it might be more interesting to not map
IMMR but map 32 Mbytes of memory instead.
Therefore we add config option CONFIG_PIN_TLB_IMMR to select if
IMMR shall be pinned or not, hence whether we pin 24 or 32 Mbytes of RAM

On recent kernels, with some debug options like for instance
CONFIG_LOCKDEP, the BSS requires more than 8M memory, allthough
the kernel code fits in the first 8M.
Today, it is necessary to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB to get more than 8M
at startup, allthough pinning TLB is not necessary for that.
We could have inconditionaly mapped 16 or 24M bytes at startup
but some old hardware only have 8M and mapping non-existing RAM
would be an issue due to speculative accesses.
With the preceding patch however, the TLB entries are populated on
demand. By setting up the TLB miss handler to handle up to 24M until
the handler is patched for the entire memory space, it is possible
to allow access up to more memory without mapping non-existing RAM.
It is therefore not needed anymore to map memory data at all
at startup. It will be handled by the TLB miss handler.
One might still want to PIN the IMMR and the first 24M of RAM.
It is now possible to do it in the C memory initialisation
functions. In addition, we now know how much memory we have
when we do it, so we are able to adapt the pining to the
real amount of memory available. So boards with less than 24M
can now also benefit from PIN_TLB.

Instead of using the first level page table to define mappings for
the linear memory space, we can use direct mapping from the TLB
handling routines. This has several advantages:
* No need to read the tables at each TLB miss
* No issue in 16k pages mode where the 1st level table maps 64 Mbytes
The size of the available linear space is known at system startup.
In order to avoid data access at each TLB miss to know the memory
size, the TLB routine is patched at startup with the proper size
This patch provides a 10%-15% improvment of TLB miss handling for
kernel addresses

Once the linear memory space has been mapped with 8Mb pages, as
seen in the related commit, we get 11 millions DTLB missed during
the reference 600s period. 77% of the misses are on user addresses
and 23% are on kernel addresses (1 fourth for linear address space
and 3 fourth for virtual address space)
Traditionaly, each driver manages one computer board which has its
own components with its own memory maps.
But on embedded chips like the MPC8xx, the SOC has all registers
located in the same IO area.
When looking at ioremaps done during startup, we see that
many drivers are re-mapping small parts of the IMMR for their own use
and all those small pieces gets their own 4k page, amplifying the
number of TLB misses: in our system we get 0xff000000 mapped 31 times
and 0xff003000 mapped 9 times.
Even if each part of IMMR was mapped only once with 4k pages, it would
still be several small mappings towards linear area.
This patch maps the IMMR with a single 512k page.
With this patch applied, the number of DTLB misses during the 10 min
period is reduced to 11.8 millions for a duration of 5.8s, which
represents 2% of the non-idle time hence yet another 10% reduction.

On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over
a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses
and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler.
This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the
non-idle time.
Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and
85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93%
are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on
addresses from the virtual address space.
MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements
mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is
done on the 40x.
In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two
entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add
4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR
routine. This is just ignored by HW.
In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry
will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds
the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page.
With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses
during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s
and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which
represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.
