David Miller 9e695d2ecc sparc64: Support transparent huge pages.
This is relatively easy since PMD's now cover exactly 4MB of memory.

Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding.  The
lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation.  This is possible
because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use
whatever encoding scheme we want.  We just have to make the TLB miss
assembler page table walkers aware of the layout.

set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two
page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes
based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table.  In the second regime
we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need
only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping.

We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very
likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added
in the future.

With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

David Miller c460bec78d sparc64: Eliminate PTE table memory wastage.
We've split up the PTE tables so that they take up half a page instead of
a full page.  This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page
support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB.

What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the
mm struct.

This logic triggers only on allocations.  For example, we don't try to
keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port
does.

There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change:

1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *".  There's all of this special
   logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the
   PMD populate interfaces.

2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct
   just gets copied from the parent on fork.

David S. Miller 4a0100f754 sparc64: use RCU page table freeing
Make use of the generic RCU page table freeing on Sparc64, doing so allows
for race-free software page-table walkers like gup_fast().

David S. Miller 4dedbf8dc1 sparc64: kill page table quicklists
With the recent mmu_gather changes that included generic RCU freeing of
page-tables, it is now quite straightforward to implement gup_fast() on
sparc64.

This patch:

Remove the page table quicklists.  They are pointless and make it harder
to use RCU page table freeing and share code with other architectures.

BTW, this is the second time this has happened, see commit 3c93646524
("[SPARC64]: Kill pgtable quicklists and use SLAB.")

Peter Zijlstra 90f08e399d sparc: mmu_gather rework
Rework the sparc mmu_gather usage to conform to the new world order :-)

Sparc mmu_gather does two things:
 - tracks vaddrs to unhash
 - tracks pages to free

Split these two things like powerpc has done and keep the vaddrs
in per-cpu data structures and flush them on context switch.

The remaining bits can then use the generic mmu_gather.

Sam Ravnborg a439fe51a1 sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/include
The majority of this patch was created by the following script:

***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***

The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
