This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in
each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page
table walks. As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning
of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking
it away, along with the other control bits.
This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture.

Use memblock information to setup lowmem mappings rather than the
membank array.
This allows platforms to manipulate the memblock information during
initialization to reserve (and remove) memory from the kernel's view
of memory - and thus allowing platforms to setup their own private
mappings for this memory without causing problems with multiple
aliasing mappings:
size = min(size, SZ_2M);
base = memblock_alloc(size, min(align, SZ_2M));
memblock_free(base, size);
memblock_remove(base, size);
This is needed because multiple mappings of regions with differing
attributes (sharability, type, cache) are not permitted with ARMv6
and above.

Commit 81d11955bf ("ARM: 6405/1: Handle __flush_icache_all for

flush_icache_all(). It also implemented this for v6 and v7 but not
for v5 and backwards. Without the function pointer in place, we
will be calling wrong cache functions.

Christoph reported a nice splat which illustrated a race in the new stack
based kmap_atomic implementation.
The problem is that we pop our stack slot before we're completely done
resetting its state -- in particular clearing the PTE (sometimes that's
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM). If an interrupt happens before we actually clear
the PTE used for the last slot, that interrupt can reuse the slot in a
dirty state, which triggers a BUG in kmap_atomic().
Fix this by introducing kmap_atomic_idx() which reports the current slot
index without actually releasing it and use that to find the PTE and delay
the _pop() until after we're completely done.

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.
The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)
and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.
The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

We need to round memory regions correctly -- specifically, we need to
round reserved region in the more expansive direction (lower limit
down, upper limit up) whereas usable memory regions need to be rounded
in the more restrictive direction (lower limit up, upper limit down).
This introduces two set of inlines:
memblock_region_memory_base_pfn()
memblock_region_memory_end_pfn()
memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn()
memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn()
Although they are antisymmetric (and therefore are technically
duplicates) the use of the different inlines explicitly documents the
programmer's intention.
The lack of proper rounding caused a bug on ARM, which was then found
to also affect other architectures.

When the policy for user space is to ignore misaligned accesses from user
space, the processor then performs a documented rotation on the accessed
data. This is the result of the access being trapped, and the kernel
disabling the alignment trap before returning to user space again.
In kernel space we always want misaligned accesses to be fixed up. This
is enforced by always re-enabling the alignment trap on every entry into
kernel space from user space. No such re-enabling is performed when an
exception occurs while already in kernel space as the alignment trap is
always supposed to be enabled in that case.
There is however a small race window when a misaligned access in user
space is trapped and the alignment trap disabled, but the CPU didn't
return to user space just yet. Any exception would be entered from kernel
space at that point and the kernel would then execute with the alignment
trap disabled.

Access to SO mappings when the unaligned accesses are handled in

The /dev/mem driver requires uncached mappings with O_SYNC. The patch

CPUs executing code from the new PTE before the cache flushing took

On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a

update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in
set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC).
This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and
implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards
architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the
update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a

correctly on the affected cores.
