The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data.
However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned
long will do fine:
1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting
attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.
2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
attributes are passed by value.

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok
__init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.
Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new
section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")
This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
them treewide.
/* compatibility defines */
#define __init_refok __ref
#define __initdata_refok __refdata
#define __exit_refok __ref
I can also provide separate patches if necessary.

On ARC, lower 2G of address space is translated and used for
- user vaddr space (region 0 to 5)
- unused kernel-user gutter (region 6)
- kernel vaddr space (region 7)
where each region simply represents 256MB of address space.
The kernel vaddr space of 256MB is used to implement vmalloc, modules
So far this was enough, but not on EZChip system with 4K CPUs (given
that per cpu mechanism uses vmalloc for allocating chunks)
So allow VMALLOC_SIZE to be configurable by expanding down into the unused
kernel-user gutter region which at default 256M was excessive anyways.
Also use _BITUL() to fix a build error since PGDIR_SIZE cannot use "1UL"
as called from assembly code in mm/tlbex.S

Initial HIGHMEM support on ARC was introduced for PAE40 where the low
memory (0x8000_0000 based) and high memory (0x1_0000_0000) were
physically contiguous. So CONFIG_FLATMEM sufficed (despite a peipheral
hole in the middle, which wasted a bit of struct page memory, but things
worked).
However w/o PAE, highmem was not possible and we could only reach
~1.75GB of DDR. Now there is a use case to access ~4GB of DDR w/o PAE40
The idea is to have low memory at canonical 0x8000_0000 and highmem
at 0 so enire 4GB address space is available for physical addressing
This needs additional platform/interconnect mapping to convert
the non contiguous physical addresses into linear bus adresses.
From Linux point of view, non contiguous divide means FLATMEM no
longer works and DISCONTIGMEM is needed to track the pfns in the 2
regions.
This scheme would also work for PAE40, only better in that we don't
waste struct page memory for the peripheral hole.
The DT description will be something like
memory {
...
reg = <0x80000000 0x200000000 /* 512MB: lowmem */
0x00000000 0x10000000>; /* 256MB: highmem */

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

The peripheral address space is architectural address window which is
uncached and typically used to wire up peripherals.
For ARC700 cores (ARCompact ISA based) this was fixed to 1GB region
0xC000_0000 - 0xFFFF_FFFF.
For ARCv2 based HS38 cores the start address is flexible and can be
0xC, 0xD, 0xE, 0xF 000_000 by programming AUX_NON_VOLATILE_LIMIT reg
(typically done in bootloader)
Further in cas of PAE, the physical address can extend beyond 4GB so
need to confine this check, otherwise all pages beyond 4GB will be
treated as uncached

Previously a non-coherent page (hardware IOC or simply driver needs)
could be handled by cpu with paddr alone (kvaddr used to be needed for
coherent mappings to enforce uncached semantics via a MMU mapping).
Now however such a page might still require a V-P mapping if it was in
physical address space > 32bits due to PAE40, which the CPU can't access
directly with a paddr
So decouple decision of kvaddr allocation from type of alloc request
(coh/non-coh)

Let's define page_mapped() to be true for compound pages if any
sub-pages of the compound page is mapped (with PMD or PTE).
On other hand page_mapcount() return mapcount for this particular small
page.
This will make cases like page_get_anon_vma() behave correctly once we
allow huge pages to be mapped with PTE.
Most users outside core-mm should use page_mapcount() instead of
page_mapped().

Implement kmap* API for ARC.
This enables
- permanent kernel maps (pkmaps): :kmap() API
- fixmap : kmap_atomic()
We use a very simple/uniform approach for both (unlike some of the other
arches). So fixmap doesn't use the customary compile time address stuff.
The important semantic is sleep'ability (pkmap) vs. not (fixmap) which
the API guarantees.
Note that this patch only enables highmem for subsequent PAE40 support
as there is no real highmem for ARC in pure 32-bit paradigm as explained
below.
ARC has 2:2 address split of the 32-bit address space with lower half
being translated (virtual) while upper half unstranslated
(0x8000_0000 to 0xFFFF_FFFF). kernel itself is linked at base of
unstranslated space (i.e. 0x8000_0000 onwards), which is mapped to say
DDR 0x0 by external Bus Glue logic (outside the core). So kernel can
potentially access 1.75G worth of memory directly w/o need for highmem.
(the top 256M is taken by uncached peripheral space from 0xF000_0000 to
0xFFFF_FFFF)
In PAE40, hardware can address memory beyond 4G (0x1_0000_0000) while
the logical/virtual addresses remain 32-bits. Thus highmem is required
for kernel proper to be able to access these pages for it's own purposes
(user space is agnostic to this anyways).

MMUv4 in HS38x cores supports Super Pages which are basis for Linux THP
support.
Normal and Super pages can co-exist (ofcourse not overlap) in TLB with a
new bit "SZ" in TLB page desciptor to distinguish between them.
Super Page size is configurable in hardware (4K to 16M), but fixed once
RTL builds.
The exact THP size a Linx configuration will support is a function of:
- MMU page size (typical 8K, RTL fixed)
- software page walker address split between PGD:PTE:PFN (typical
11:8:13, but can be changed with 1 line)
So for above default, THP size supported is 8K * 256 = 2M
Default Page Walker is 2 levels, PGD:PTE:PFN, which in THP regime
reduces to 1 level (as PTE is folded into PGD and canonically referred
to as PMD).
Thus thp PMD accessors are implemented in terms of PTE (just like sparc)

In case of ARCv2 CPU there're could be following configurations
that affect cache handling for data exchanged with peripherals
via DMA:
[1] Only L1 cache exists
[2] Both L1 and L2 exist, but no IO coherency unit
[3] L1, L2 caches and IO coherency unit exist
Current implementation takes care of [1] and [2].
Moreover support of [2] is implemented with run-time check
for SLC existence which is not super optimal.
This patch introduces support of [3] and rework of DMA ops
usage. Instead of doing run-time check every time a particular
DMA op is executed we'll have 3 different implementations of
DMA ops and select appropriate one during init.
As for IOC support for it we need:
[a] Implement empty DMA ops because IOC takes care of cache
coherency with DMAed data
[b] Route dma_alloc_coherent() via dma_alloc_noncoherent()
This is required to make IOC work in first place and also
serves as optimization as LD/ST to coherent buffers can be
srviced from caches w/o going all the way to memory

SLC maintenance ops need to be serialized by software as there is no
inherent buffering / quequing of aux commands. It can silently ignore a

So gaurd the SLC op using a spin lock
The spin lock doesn't seem to be contended even in heavy workloads such
as iperf. On FPGA @ 75 MHz.
