The size of swapper_pg_dir is 8k instead of 4k when using 64-bit PTEs
(CONFIG_PTE_64BIT).This was reported by Cedric Hombourger

The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually
tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with
it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't
report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches
in their distro...This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by
setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously
marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon
return to user space when that happens.This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained
flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very
strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires
a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which
isn't something I want to deal with.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Some changes done a while ago to avoid pounding on ptep_set_access_flags and
update_mmu_cache in some race situations break sun4c which requires
update_mmu_cache() to always be called on minor faults.This patch reworks ptep_set_access_flags() semantics, implementations and
callers so that it's now responsible for returning whether an update is
necessary or not (basically whether the PTE actually changed). This allow
fixing the sparc implementation to always return 1 on sun4c.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fixes, cleanups]

This factors some things defined in both pgtable-ppc32.h and
pgtable-ppc64.h into the common part of asm-powerpc/pgtable.h. These
are all things which have essentially identical definitions, and which
by their nature are very unlikely ever to need different definitions
in the two cases.Signed-off-by: David Gibson

APUS (the Amiga Power-Up System) is not supported under arch/powerpc
and it's unlikely it ever will be. Therefore, this patch removes the
fragments of APUS support code from arch/powerpc which have been
copied from arch/ppc.A few APUS references are left in asm-powerpc in .h files which are
still used from arch/ppc.Signed-off-by: David Gibson

There are no actual implementations of fixup_bigphys_addr() in
arch/powerpc, and with a 64-bit aware ioremap() and so forth, it
should no longer be necessary. This patch removes the last dregs of
fixup_bigphys_addr() from arch/powerpc.In fact, the only reason this hasn't caused link errors already is
that nobody must have tried using one of the small number of drivers
using io_remap_pfn_range() on one of the small number of platforms
which are 32-bit but define CONFIG_PHYS_64BIT. Nonetheless this fixes
a bug, and should go into 2.6.22.Signed-off-by: David Gibson

For 32-bit systems, powerpc still relies on the 4level-fixup.h hack,
to pretend that the generic pagetable handling stuff is 3-levels
rather than 4. This patch removes this, instead using the newer
pgtable-nopmd.h to handle the elision of both the pud and pmd
pagetable levels (ppc32 pagetables are actually 2 levels).This removes a little extraneous code, and makes it more easily
compared to the 64-bit pagetable code.Signed-off-by: David Gibson

32-bit powerpc uses a PTE_FMT macro to handle printk() formatting of
PTE entries (which can vary in type and size). Apparently there was a
good reason for it once, but with current compilers it's simpler just
to workaround the variation with a cast in the printk() itself
(there's only one use).Signed-off-by: David Gibson

Currently, all 32-bit powerpc platforms use asm-ppc/pgtable.h and
asm-ppc/pgalloc.h, even when otherwise compiled with ARCH=powerpc.
Those asm-ppc files are a fairly nasty tangle of #ifdefs including a
bunch of things which shouldn't be necessary any more in arch/powerpc.Cleaning up that mess is going to take a while, but this patch is a
first step. It separates the asm-powerpc/pg{alloc,table}.h into 64
bit and 32 bit versions in asm-powerpc, which the basic .h files in
asm-powerpc select based on config. We make a few tiny tweaks to the
innards of the files along the way, making the outermost ifdefs
(double-inclusion protection and __KERNEL__) a little cleaner, and
#including asm-generic/pgtable.h from the top-level
asm-powerpc/pgtable.h (since both the old 32-bit and 64-bit versions
ended with such an #include).Signed-off-by: David Gibson
