As per ISA doc, we encode base and actual page size in the LP bits of
PTE. The number of bit used to encode the page sizes depend on actual
page size. ISA doc lists this as
PTE LP actual page size
rrrr rrrz >=8KB
rrrr rrzz >=16KB
rrrr rzzz >=32KB
rrrr zzzz >=64KB
rrrz zzzz >=128KB
rrzz zzzz >=256KB
rzzz zzzz >=512KB
zzzz zzzz >=1MB
ISA doc also says
"The values of the “z” bits used to specify each size, along with all possible
values of “r” bits in the LP field, must result in LP values distinct from
other LP values for other sizes."
based on the above update hpte_decode to use the correct decoding for LP bits.

We look at both the segment base page size and actual page size and store
the pte-lp-encodings in an array per base page size.
We also update all relevant functions to take actual page size argument
so that we can use the correct PTE LP encoding in HPTE. This should also

With MPSS support we would need actual page size to set HPTE_V_LARGE

HPTE_V_LARGE bit, use the avpn value instead. There should not be any change

We allocate one page for the last level of linux page table. With THP and
large page size of 16MB, that would mean we are wasting large part
of that page. To map 16MB area, we only need a PTE space of 2K with 64K
page size. This patch reduce the space wastage by sharing the page
allocated for the last level of linux page table with multiple pmd
entries. We call these smaller chunks PTE page fragments and allocated
page, PTE page.
In order to support systems which doesn't have 64K HPTE support, we also
add another 2K to PTE page fragment. The second half of the PTE fragments
is used for storing slot and secondary bit information of an HPTE. With this
we now have a 4K PTE fragment.
We use a simple approach to share the PTE page. On allocation, we bump the
PTE page refcount to 16 and share the PTE page with the next 16 pte alloc
request. This should help in the node locality of the PTE page fragment,
assuming that the immediate pte alloc request will mostly come from the
same NUMA node. We don't try to reuse the freed PTE page fragment. Hence
we could be waisting some space.

We will be switching PMD_SHIFT to 24 bits to facilitate THP impmenetation.
With PMD_SHIFT set to 24, we now have 16MB huge pages allocated at PGD level.
That means with 32 bit process we cannot allocate normal pages at
all, because we cover the entire address space with one pgd entry. Fix this
by switching to a new page table format for hugepages. With the new page table
format for 16GB and 16MB hugepages we won't allocate hugepage directory. Instead
we encode the PTE information directly at the directory level. This forces 16MB
hugepage at PMD level. This will also make the page take walk much simpler later
when we add the THP support.
With the new table format we have 4 cases for pgds and pmds:
(1) invalid (all zeroes)
(2) pointer to next table, as normal; bottom 6 bits == 0
(3) leaf pte for huge page, bottom two bits != 00

corresponding to the last PGD entry, and then incremented that address

In perf_ip_adjust() we potentially use the MMCRA[SLOT] field to adjust
the reported IP of a sampled instruction.
Currently the logic is written so that if the backend does NOT have
the PPMU_ALT_SIPR flag set then we assume MMCRA[SLOT] exists.
However on power8 we do not want to set ALT_SIPR (it's in a third
location), and we also do not have MMCRA[SLOT].
So add a new flag which only indicates whether MMCRA[SLOT] exists.
Naively we'd set it on everything except power6/7, because they set
ALT_SIPR, and we've reversed the polarity of the flag. But it's more
complicated than that.
mpc7450 is 32-bit, and uses its own version of perf_ip_adjust()
which doesn't use MMCRA[SLOT], so it doesn't need the new flag set and
the behaviour is unchanged.
PPC970 (and I assume power4) don't have MMCRA[SLOT], so shouldn't have
the new flag set. This is a behaviour change on those cpus, though we
were probably getting lucky and the bits in question were 0.
power5 and power5+ set the new flag, behaviour unchanged.
power6 & power7 do not set the new flag, behaviour unchanged.

This happens because the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro turns into
33 instructions, but we only have space for 32 at the decrementer
interrupt vector (from 0x900 to 0x980).
In the code generated by the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro, we
currently have two instances of the HMT_MEDIUM macro, which has the
effect of setting the SMT thread priority to medium. One is the
first instruction, and is overwritten by a no-op on processors where
we save the PPR (processor priority register), that is, POWER7 or
later. The other is after we have saved the PPR.
In order to reduce the code at 0x900 by one instruction, we omit the
first HMT_MEDIUM. On processors without SMT this will have no effect
since HMT_MEDIUM is a no-op there. On POWER5 and RS64 machines this
will mean that the first few instructions take a little longer in the
case where a decrementer interrupt occurs when the hardware thread is
running at low SMT priority. On POWER6 and later machines, the
hardware automatically boosts the thread priority when a decrementer
interrupt is taken if the thread priority was below medium, so this
change won't make any difference.
The alternative would be to branch out of line after saving the CFAR.
However, that would incur an extra overhead on all processors, whereas
the approach adopted here only adds overhead on older threaded processors.

The VPHN feature was previously disabled due to races with the load
