Adds support for 16GB hugepage size. To use this page size
use kernel parameters as:
default_hugepagesz=16G hugepagesz=16G hugepages=10
Testing:
Tested with the stream benchmark which allocates 48G of
arrays backed by 16G hugepages and does RW operation on
them in parallel.

This fixes another cause of random segfaults and bus errors that may
occur while running perf with the callgraph option.
Critical sections beginning with spin_lock_irqsave() raise the interrupt
level to PIL_NORMAL_MAX (14) and intentionally do not block performance
counter interrupts, which arrive at PIL_NMI (15).
But some sections of code are "super critical" with respect to perf
because the perf_callchain_user() path accesses user space and may cause
TLB activity as well as faults as it unwinds the user stack.
One particular critical section occurs in switch_mm:
spin_lock_irqsave(&mm->context.lock, flags);
...
load_secondary_context(mm);
tsb_context_switch(mm);
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mm->context.lock, flags);
If a perf interrupt arrives in between load_secondary_context() and
tsb_context_switch(), then perf_callchain_user() could execute with
the context ID of one process, but with an active TSB for a different
process. When the user stack is accessed, it is very likely to
incur a TLB miss, since the h/w context ID has been changed. The TLB
will then be reloaded with a translation from the TSB for one process,
but using a context ID for another process. This exposes memory from
one process to another, and since it is a mapping for stack memory,
this usually causes the new process to crash quickly.
This super critical section needs more protection than is provided
by spin_lock_irqsave() since perf interrupts must not be allowed in.
Since __tsb_context_switch already goes through the trouble of
disabling interrupts completely, we fix this by moving the secondary
context load down into this better protected region.

When a TSB grows beyond its current capacity, a new TSB is allocated
and copy_tsb is called to copy entries from the old TSB to the new.
A hash shift based on page size is used to calculate the index of an
entry in the TSB. copy_tsb has hard coded PAGE_SHIFT in these
calculations. However, for huge page TSBs the value REAL_HPAGE_SHIFT
should be used. As a result, when copy_tsb is called for a huge page
TSB the entries are placed at the incorrect index in the newly
allocated TSB. When doing hardware table walk, the MMU does not
match these entries and we end up in the TSB miss handling code.
This code will then create and write an entry to the correct index
in the TSB. We take a performance hit for the table walk miss and
recreation of these entries.
Pass a new parameter to copy_tsb that is the page size shift to be
used when copying the TSB.

Add support for using multiple hugepage sizes simultaneously
on mainline. Currently, support for 256M has been added which
can be used along with 8M pages.
Page tables are set like this (e.g. for 256M page):
VA + (8M * x) -> PA + (8M * x) (sz bit = 256M) where x in [0, 31]
and TSB is set similarly:
VA + (4M * x) -> PA + (4M * x) (sz bit = 256M) where x in [0, 63]
- Testing
Tested on Sonoma (which supports 256M pages) by running stream
benchmark instances in parallel: one instance uses 8M pages and
another uses 256M pages, consuming 48G each.
Boot params used:
default_hugepagesz=256M hugepagesz=256M hugepages=300 hugepagesz=8M
hugepages=10000

On pre-Niagara systems, we fetch the fault address on data TLB
exceptions from the TLB_TAG_ACCESS register. But this register also
contains the context ID assosciated with the fault in the low 13 bits
of the register value.
This propagates into current_thread_info()->fault_address and can
cause trouble later on.
So clear the low 13-bits out of the TLB_TAG_ACCESS value in the cases
where it matters.

Every path that ends up at do_sparc64_fault() must install a valid
FAULT_CODE_* bitmask in the per-thread fault code byte.
Two paths leading to the label winfix_trampoline (which expects the
FAULT_CODE_* mask in register %g4) were not doing so:
1) For pre-hypervisor TLB protection violation traps, if we took
the 'winfix_trampoline' path we wouldn't have %g4 initialized
with the FAULT_CODE_* value yet. Resulting in using the
TLB_TAG_ACCESS register address value instead.
2) In the TSB miss path, when we notice that we are going to use a
hugepage mapping, but we haven't allocated the hugepage TSB yet, we
still have to take the window fixup case into consideration and
in that particular path we leave %g4 not setup properly.
Errors on this sort were largely invisible previously, but after
commit 4ccb9272892c33ef1c19a783cfa87103b30c2784 ("sparc64: sun4v TLB
error power off events") we now have a fault_code mask bit
(FAULT_CODE_BAD_RA) that triggers due to this bug.
FAULT_CODE_BAD_RA triggers because this bit is set in TLB_TAG_ACCESS
(see #1 above) and thus we get seemingly random bus errors triggered
for user processes.

The impetus for this is that we would like to move to 64-bit PMDs and
PGDs, but that would result in only supporting a 42-bit address space
with the current page table layout. It'd be nice to support at least
43-bits.
The reason we'd end up with only 42-bits after making PMDs and PGDs
64-bit is that we only use half-page sized PTE tables in order to make
PMDs line up to 4MB, the hardware huge page size we use.
So what we do here is we make huge pages 8MB, and fabricate them using
4MB hw TLB entries.
Facilitate this by providing a "REAL_HPAGE_SHIFT" which is used in
places that really need to operate on hardware 4MB pages.
Use full pages (512 entries) for PTE tables, and adjust PMD_SHIFT,
PGD_SHIFT, and the build time CPP test as needed. Use a CPP test to
make sure REAL_HPAGE_SHIFT and the _PAGE_SZHUGE_* we use match up.
This makes the pgtable cache completely unused, so remove the code
managing it and the state used in mm_context_t. Now we have less
spinlocks taken in the page table allocation path.
The technique we use to fabricate the 8MB pages is to transfer bit 22
from the missing virtual address into the PTEs physical address field.
That takes care of the transparent huge pages case.
For hugetlb, we fill things in at the PTE level and that code already
puts the sub huge page physical bits into the PTEs, based upon the
offset, so there is nothing special we need to do. It all just works
out.
So, a small amount of complexity in the THP case, but this code is
about to get much simpler when we move the 64-bit PMDs as we can move
away from the fancy 32-bit huge PMD encoding and just put a real PTE
value in there.
With bug fixes and help from Bob Picco.

If our first THP installation for an MM is via the set_pmd_at() done
during khugepaged's collapsing we'll end up in tsb_grow() trying to do
a GFP_KERNEL allocation with several locks held.
Simply using GFP_ATOMIC in this situation is not the best option
because we really can't have this fail, so we'd really like to keep
this an order 0 GFP_KERNEL allocation if possible.
Also, doing the TSB allocation from khugepaged is a really bad idea
because we'll allocate it potentially from the wrong NUMA node in that
context.
So what we do is defer the hugepage TSB allocation until the first TLB
miss we take on a hugepage. This is slightly tricky because we have
to handle two unusual cases:
1) Taking the first hugepage TLB miss in the window trap handler.
We'll call the winfix_trampoline when that is detected.
2) An initial TSB allocation via TLB miss races with a hugetlb
fault on another cpu running the same MM. We handle this by
unconditionally loading the TSB we see into the current cpu
even if it's non-NULL at hugetlb_setup time.

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.

Thanks to testcase and report from Brad Spengler:
--------------------
#include <stdio.h>
typedef int (* _wee)(void);
int main(void)
{
char buf[8] = { '\x81', '\xc7', '\xe0', '\x08', '\x81', '\xe8',
'\x00', '\x00' };
_wee wee;
printf("%p\n", &buf);
wee = (_wee)&buf;
wee();
return 0;
}
--------------------
TSB I-tlb load code tries to use andcc to check the _PAGE_EXEC_4U bit,
but that's bit 12 so it gets sign extended all the way up to bit 63
and the test nearly always passes as a result.
Use sethi to fix the bug.

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
