Ralf Baechle a2c763e074 MIPS: tlbex: Better debug output.
Pgtable bits are assigned dynamically depending on processor feature and
statically based on kernel configuration.  To make sense out of the
disassembled TLB exception handlers a list of the actual assignments
used for a particular configuration and hardware setup can be very useful.

Output the actual TLB exception handlers in a format that simplifies their
post processsing from dmesg output.

R5000 and the Nevada CPUs (RM5230, RM5231, RM5260, RM5261, RM5270 and

David Daney bf28607fbe MIPS: Close races in TLB modify handlers.
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.

Kevin Cernekee 602977b0d6 MIPS: Decouple BMIPS CPU support from bcm47xx/bcm63xx SoC code
BMIPS processor cores are used in 50+ different chipsets spread across
5+ product lines.  In many cases the chipsets do not share the same
peripheral register layouts, the same register blocks, the same
interrupt controllers, the same memory maps, or much of anything else.

But, across radically different SoCs that share nothing more than the
same BMIPS CPU, a few things are still mostly constant:

SMP operations
Access to performance counters
DMA cache coherency quirks
Cache and memory bus configuration

So, it makes sense to treat each BMIPS processor type as a generic
"building block," rather than tying it to a specific SoC.  This makes it
easier to support a large number of BMIPS-based chipsets without
unnecessary duplication of code, and provides the infrastructure needed
to support BMIPS-proprietary features.

David Daney 1ec56329ff MIPS: Check for accesses beyond the end of the PGD.
For some combinations of PAGE_SIZE and vmbits, it is possible to have
userspace access that are beyond what is covered by the PGD, but within
vmbits.  Such an access would cause the TLB refill handler to load garbage
values for PMD and PTE potentially giving userspace access to parts of the
physical address space to which it is not entitled.

In the TLB refill hot path, we add a single dsrl instruction so we can
check if any bits outside of the range covered by the PGD are set.  In
the vmalloc side we then separate the bad case from the normal vmalloc
case and call tlb_do_page_fault_0 if warranted.  This slows us down a
bit, but has the benefit of yielding deterministic behavior.

David Daney 6dd9344cfc MIPS: Implement Read Inhibit/eXecute Inhibit
The SmartMIPS ASE specifies how Read Inhibit (RI) and eXecute Inhibit
(XI) bits in the page tables work.  The upper two bits of EntryLo{0,1}
are RI and XI when the feature is enabled in the PageGrain register.
SmartMIPS only covers 32-bit systems.  Cavium Octeon+ extends this to
64-bit systems by continuing to place the RI and XI bits in the top of
EntryLo even when EntryLo is 64-bits wide.

Because we need to carry the RI and XI bits in the PTE, the layout of
the PTE is changed.  There is a two instruction overhead in the TLB
refill hot path to get the EntryLo bits into the proper position.
Also the TLB load exception has to probe the TLB to check if RI or XI
caused the exception.

Also of note is that the layout of the PTE bits is done at compile and
runtime rather than statically.  In the 32-bit case this allows for
the same number of PFN bits as before the patch as the _PAGE_HUGE is
not supported in 32-bit kernels (we have _PAGE_NO_EXEC and
_PAGE_NO_READ instead of _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_HUGE).

The patch is tested on Cavium Octeon+, but should also work on 32-bit
systems with the Smart-MIPS ASE.

David Daney bd1437e49d MIPS: Remove unused parameters from iPTE_LW.
The l parameter to iPTE_LW() is unused. Remove it and from some of its
callers as well.

David Daney faed5288af MIPS: Remove dead case label.
CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON is mips_r2 which is handled before the switch.  This
label in the switch statement is dead code, so we remove it.

David Daney 41f0e4d041 MIPS: Allow R2 CPUs to turn off generation of 'ehb' instructions.
Some CPUs do not need ehb instructions after writing CP0 registers.
By allowing ehb generation to be overridden in
cpu-feature-overrides.h, we can save a few instructions in the TLB
handler hot paths.

David Daney 95affdda9b MIPS: Fold the TLB refill at the vmalloc path if possible.
Try to fold the 64-bit TLB refill handler opportunistically at the
beginning of the vmalloc path so as to avoid splitting execution flow in
half and wasting cycles for a branch required at that point then.  Resort
to doing the split if either of the newly created parts would not fit into
its designated slot.

David Daney e6f72d3aba MIPS: Replace some magic numbers with symbolic values in tlbex.c
The logic used to split the r4000 refill handler is liberally
sprinkled with magic numbers.  We attempt to explain what they are and
normalize them against a new symbolic value (MIPS64_REFILL_INSNS).

Manuel Lauss 2f794d099d MIPS: Alchemy: MIPS hazard workarounds are not required.
The Alchemy manuals state:

"All pipeline hazards and dependencies are enforced by hardware interlocks
 so that any sequence of instructions is guaranteed to execute correctly.
 Therefore, it is not necessary to pad legacy MIPS hazards (such as
 load delay slots and coprocessor accesses) with NOPs."

Run-tested on Au12x0, without any ill effects.

Manuel Lauss 270717a8a0 MIPS: Alchemy: unify CPU model constants.
This patch removes the various CPU_AU1??? model constants in favor of
a single CPU_ALCHEMY one.

All currently existing Alchemy models are identical in terms of cpu
core and cache size/organization.  The parts of the mips kernel which
need to know the exact CPU revision extract it from the c0_prid register
already; and finally nothing else in-tree depends on those any more.

Should a new variant with slightly different "company options" and/or
"processor revision" bits in c0_prid appear, it will be supported
immediately (minus an exact model string in cpuinfo).

Shinya Kuribayashi a644b2774d MIPS: NEC VR5500 processor support fixup
Current VR5500 processor support lacks of some functions which are
expected to be configured/synthesized on arch initialization.

Here're some VR5500A spec notes:

* All execution hazards are handled in hardware.

* Once VR5500A stops the operation of the pipeline by WAIT instruction,
  it could return from the standby mode only when either a reset, NMI
  request, or all enabled interrupts is/are detected.  In other words,
  if interrupts are disabled by Status.IE=0, it keeps in standby mode
  even when interrupts are internally asserted.

  Notes on WAIT: The operation of the processor is undefined if WAIT
  insn is in the branch delay slot.  The operation is also undefined
  if WAIT insn is executed when Status.EXL and Status.ERL are set to 1.

* VR5500A core only implements the Load prefetch.

With these changes, it boots fine.
