For Alchemy-PCI I need to add a wired entry after resuming from RAM;
remove the __init from add_wired_entry() so that this actually works.

Until now flush_kernel_vmap_range() and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range() did
not exist on MIPS resulting in heavy cache corruption on XFS filesystems.

Left for the post-3.0 time: optimization and make this work with highmem,
too.  Since the combination of highmem + cache aliases atm doesn't work
this isn't a regression.

For the case PM_DEFAULT_MASK == 0, we were placing a branch in the
delay slot of another branch.  This leads to undefined behavior.

Only some GCC versions such as gcc 4.2 notice that the variable wr in
build_r3000_tlb_modify_handler is used uninitialized.  When using one
of those GCCs the build will fail due to -Werror.  GCC 4.6 does not
warn about the uninitialized use of wr.

Page table entries are made invalid by writing a zero into the the PTE
slot in a page table.  This creates a race condition with the TLB
modify handlers when they are updating the PTE.

CPU0                              CPU1

Test for _PAGE_PRESENT
.                                 set to not _PAGE_PRESENT (zero)
Set to _PAGE_VALID

So now the page not present value (zero) is suddenly valid and user
space programs have access to physical page zero.

We close the race by putting the test for _PAGE_PRESENT and setting of
_PAGE_VALID into an atomic LL/SC section.  This requires more registers
than just K0 and K1 in the handlers, so we need to save some registers
to a save area and then restore them when we are done.

The save area is an array of cacheline aligned structures that should
not suffer cache line bouncing as they are CPU private.

fixrange_init() allocates page tables for all addresses higher than
FIXADDR_TOP.  On processors that override the default FIXADDR_TOP
address of 0xfffe_0000, this can consume up to 4 pages (1 page per 4MB)
for pgd's that are never used.

<content type='text'>
On processors with deep write buffers, it is likely that many cycles
will pass between a CACHE instruction and the time the data actually
gets written out to DRAM.  Add a SYNC instruction to ensure that the
buffers get emptied before the flush functions return.

Actual problem seen in the wild:

1) dma_alloc_coherent() allocates cached memory

2) memset() is called to clear the new pages

3) dma_cache_wback_inv() is called to flush the zero data out to memory

4) dma_alloc_coherent() returns an uncached (kseg1) pointer to the
freshly allocated pages

5) Caller writes data through the kseg1 pointer

6) Buffered writeback data finally gets flushed out to DRAM

7) Part of caller's data is inexplicably zeroed out

This patch adds SYNC between steps 3 and 4, which fixed the problem.

<title>MIPS: pfn_valid() is broken on low memory HIGHMEM systems</title>

pfn_valid() compares the PFN to max_mapnr:

        __pfn &gt;= min_low_pfn &amp;&amp; __pfn &lt; max_mapnr;

On HIGHMEM kernels, highend_pfn is used to set the value of max_mapnr.
Unfortunately, highend_pfn is left at zero if the system does not
actually have enough RAM to reach into the HIGHMEM range.  This causes
pfn_valid() to always return false, and when debug checks are enabled
the kernel will fail catastrophically:

Memory: 22432k/32768k available (2249k kernel code, 10336k reserved, 653k data, 1352k init, 0k highmem)
NR_IRQS:128
kfree_debugcheck: out of range ptr 81c02900h.
Kernel bug detected[#1]:
Cpu 0
$ 0   : 00000000 10008400 00000034 00000000
$ 4   : 8003e160 802a0000 8003e160 00000000
$ 8   : 00000000 0000003e 00000747 00000747
...

On such a configuration, max_low_pfn should be used to set max_mapnr.

This was seen on 2.6.34.
