<title>MIPS: Include linux/initrd.h for free_initrd_mem()</title>

arch/mips/mm/init.c provides our implementation of free_initrd_mem(),
but doesn't include the linux/initrd.h header which declares them. This
leads to a warning from sparse:

  arch/mips/mm/init.c:501:6: warning: symbol 'free_initrd_mem' was not
    declared. Should it be static?

Fix this by including linux/initrd.h to get the declaration of
free_initrd_mem().

Some users must have 4K pages while needing a 48-bit VA space size.
The cleanest way do do this is to go to a 4-level page table for this
case.  Each page table level using order-0 pages adds 9 bits to the
VA size (at 4K pages, so for four levels we get 9 * 4 + 12 == 48-bits.

For the 4K page size case only we add support functions for the PUD
level of the page table tree, also the TLB exception handlers get an
extra level of tree walk.

<content type='text'>
The MAAR V bit has been renamed VL since another bit called VH is added
at the top of the register when it is extended to 64-bits on a 32-bit
processor with XPA. Rename the V definition, fix the various users, and
add definitions for the VH bit. Also add a definition for the MAARI
Index field.

Miscellaneous MIPS architecture changes depended on by the MIPS KVM
changes in the KVM tree.

- Move pgd_alloc() out of header.

Export pmd_init(), invalid_pmd_table and tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd to
GPL kernel modules so that MIPS KVM can use the inline page table
management functions and switch between page tables:

- pmd_init() will be used directly by KVM to initialise newly allocated
  pmd tables with invalid lower level table pointers.

- invalid_pmd_table is used by pud_present(), pud_none(), and
  pud_clear(), which KVM will use to test and clear pud entries.

- tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd() will be called by KVM entry code to switch
  to the appropriate GVA page tables.

<title>MIPS: Mask out limit field when calculating wired entry count</title>
<updated>2016-11-24T15:44:16+00:00</updated>

<id>1031398035a25e5c90c66befb6ff41fa4746df98</id>
<content type='text'>
Since MIPSr6 the Wired register is split into 2 fields, with the upper
16 bits of the register indicating a limit on the value that the wired
entry count in the bottom 16 bits of the register can take. This means
that simply reading the wired register doesn't get us a valid TLB entry
index any longer, and we instead need to retrieve only the lower 16 bits
of the register. Introduce a new num_wired_entries() function which does
this on MIPSr6 or higher and simply returns the value of the wired
register on older architecture revisions, and make use of it when
reading the number of wired entries.

Since commit e710d6668309 ("MIPS: tlb-r4k: If there are wired entries,
don't use TLBINVF") we have been using a non-zero number of wired
entries to determine whether we should avoid use of the tlbinvf
instruction (which would invalidate wired entries) and instead loop over
TLB entries in local_flush_tlb_all(). This loop begins with the number
of wired entries, or before this patch some large bogus TLB index on
MIPSr6 systems. Thus since the aforementioned commit some MIPSr6 systems
with FTLBs have been prone to leaving stale address translations in the
FTLB &amp; crashing in various weird &amp; wonderful ways when we later observe
the wrong memory.

Since MIPSr6 the Wired register is split into 2 fields, with the upper
16 bits of the register indicating a limit on the value that the wired
entry count in the bottom 16 bits of the register can take. This means
that simply reading the wired register doesn't get us a valid TLB entry
index any longer, and we instead need to retrieve only the lower 16 bits
of the register. Introduce a new num_wired_entries() function which does
this on MIPSr6 or higher and simply returns the value of the wired
register on older architecture revisions, and make use of it when
reading the number of wired entries.

Since commit e710d6668309 ("MIPS: tlb-r4k: If there are wired entries,
don't use TLBINVF") we have been using a non-zero number of wired
entries to determine whether we should avoid use of the tlbinvf
instruction (which would invalidate wired entries) and instead loop over
TLB entries in local_flush_tlb_all(). This loop begins with the number
of wired entries, or before this patch some large bogus TLB index on
MIPSr6 systems. Thus since the aforementioned commit some MIPSr6 systems
with FTLBs have been prone to leaving stale address translations in the
FTLB &amp; crashing in various weird &amp; wonderful ways when we later observe
the wrong memory.

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.
