The fixup helper function mechanism for handling user copy fault
handling is not %100 accurrate, and can never be made so.
We are going to transition the code to return the running return
return length, which is always kept track in one or more registers
of each of these routines.
In order to convert them one by one, we have to allow the existing
behavior to continue functioning.
Therefore make all the copy code that wants the fixup helper to be
used return negative one.
After all of the user copy routines have been converted, this logic
and the fixup helpers themselves can be removed completely.

Implement FETCH-OP atomic primitives, these are very similar to the
existing OP-RETURN primitives we already have, except they return the
value of the atomic variable _before_ modification.
This is especially useful for irreversible operations -- such as
bitops (because it becomes impossible to reconstruct the state prior
to modification).

Short story: Exception handlers used by some copy_to_user() and
copy_from_user() functions do not diligently clean up floating point
register usage, and this can result in a user process seeing invalid
values in floating point registers. This sometimes makes the process
fail.
Long story: Several cpu-specific (NG4, NG2, U1, U3) memcpy functions
use floating point registers and VIS alignaddr/faligndata to
accelerate data copying when source and dest addresses don't align
well. Linux uses a lazy scheme for saving floating point registers; It
is not done upon entering the kernel since it's a very expensive
operation. Rather, it is done only when needed. If the kernel ends up
not using FP regs during the course of some trap or system call, then
it can return to user space without saving or restoring them.
The various memcpy functions begin their FP code with VISEntry (or a
variation thereof), which saves the FP regs. They conclude their FP
code with VISExit (or a variation) which essentially marks the FP regs
"clean", ie, they contain no unsaved values. fprs.FPRS_FEF is turned
off so that a lazy restore will be triggered when/if the user process
accesses floating point regs again.
The bug is that the user copy variants of memcpy, copy_from_user() and
copy_to_user(), employ an exception handling mechanism to detect faults
when accessing user space addresses, and when this handler is invoked,
an immediate return from the function is forced, and VISExit is not
executed, thus leaving the fprs register in an indeterminate state,
but often with fprs.FPRS_FEF set and one or more dirty bits. This
results in a return to user space with invalid values in the FP regs,
and since fprs.FPRS_FEF is on, no lazy restore occurs.
This bug affects copy_to_user() and copy_from_user() for NG4, NG2,
U3, and U1. All are fixed by using a new exception handler for those
loads and stores that are done during the time between VISEnter and
VISExit.
n.b. In NG4memcpy, the problematic code can be triggered by a copy
size greater than 128 bytes and an unaligned source address. This bug
is known to be the cause of random user process memory corruptions
while perf is running with the callgraph option (ie, perf record -g).
This occurs because perf uses copy_from_user() to read user stacks,
and may fault when it follows a stack frame pointer off to an
invalid page. Validation checks on the stack address just obscure
the underlying problem.

If we have a series of events from userpsace, with %fprs=FPRS_FEF,
like follows:
ETRAP
ETRAP
VIS_ENTRY(fprs=0x4)
VIS_EXIT
RTRAP (kernel FPU restore with fpu_saved=0x4)
RTRAP
We will not restore the user registers that were clobbered by the FPU
using kernel code in the inner-most trap.
Traps allocate FPU save slots in the thread struct, and FPU using
sequences save the "dirty" FPU registers only.
This works at the initial trap level because all of the registers
get recorded into the top-level FPU save area, and we'll return
to userspace with the FPU disabled so that any FPU use by the user
will take an FPU disabled trap wherein we'll load the registers
back up properly.
But this is not how trap returns from kernel to kernel operate.
The simplest fix for this bug is to always save all FPU register state
for anything other than the top-most FPU save area.
Getting rid of the optimized inner-slot FPU saving code ends up
making VISEntryHalf degenerate into plain VISEntry.
Longer term we need to do something smarter to reinstate the partial
save optimizations. Perhaps the fundament error is having trap entry
and exit allocate FPU save slots and restore register state. Instead,
the VISEntry et al. calls should be doing that work.
This bug is about two decades old.

Firstly, handle zero length calls properly. Believe it or not there
are a few of these happening during early boot.
Next, we can't just drop to a memcpy() call in the forward copy case
where dst <= src. The reason is that the cache initializing stores
used in the Niagara memcpy() implementations can end up clearing out
cache lines before we've sourced their original contents completely.
For example, considering NG4memcpy, the main unrolled loop begins like
this:
load src + 0x00
load src + 0x08
load src + 0x10
load src + 0x18
load src + 0x20
store dst + 0x00
Assume dst is 64 byte aligned and let's say that dst is src - 8 for
this memcpy() call. That store at the end there is the one to the
first line in the cache line, thus clearing the whole line, which thus
clobbers "src + 0x28" before it even gets loaded.
To avoid this, just fall through to a simple copy only mildly
optimized for the case where src and dst are 8 byte aligned and the
length is a multiple of 8 as well. We could get fancy and call
GENmemcpy() but this is good enough for how this thing is actually
used.

The AES loops in arch/sparc/crypto/aes_glue.c use a scheme where the
key material is preloaded into the FPU registers, and then we loop
over and over doing the crypt operation, reusing those pre-cooked key
registers.
There are intervening blkcipher*() calls between the crypt operation
calls. And those might perform memcpy() and thus also try to use the
FPU.
The sparc64 kernel FPU usage mechanism is designed to allow such
recursive uses, but with a catch.
There has to be a trap between the two FPU using threads of control.
The mechanism works by, when the FPU is already in use by the kernel,
allocating a slot for FPU saving at trap time. Then if, within the
trap handler, we try to use the FPU registers, the pre-trap FPU
register state is saved into the slot. Then at trap return time we
notice this and restore the pre-trap FPU state.
Over the long term there are various more involved ways we can make
this work, but for a quick fix let's take advantage of the fact that
the situation where this happens is very limited.
All sparc64 chips that support the crypto instructiosn also are using
the Niagara4 memcpy routine, and that routine only uses the FPU for
large copies where we can't get the source aligned properly to a
multiple of 8 bytes.
We look to see if the FPU is already in use in this context, and if so
we use the non-large copy path which only uses integer registers.
Furthermore, we also limit this special logic to when we are doing
kernel copy, rather than a user copy.

Choose PAGE_OFFSET dynamically based upon cpu type.
Original UltraSPARC-I (spitfire) chips only supported a 44-bit
virtual address space.
Newer chips (T4 and later) support 52-bit virtual addresses
and up to 47-bits of physical memory space.
Therefore we have to adjust PAGE_SIZE dynamically based upon
the capabilities of the chip.
Note that this change alone does not allow us to support > 43-bit
physical memory, to do that we need to re-arrange our page table
support. The current encodings of the pmd_t and pgd_t pointers
restricts us to "32 + 11" == 43 bits.
This change can waste quite a bit of memory for the various tables.
In particular, a future change should work to size and allocate
kern_linear_bitmap[] and sparc64_valid_addr_bitmap[] dynamically.
This isn't easy as we really cannot take a TLB miss when accessing

srmmu_nocache_bitmap is cleared by bit_map_init(). But bit_map_init()
attempts to clear by memset(), so it can't clear the trailing edge of
bitmap properly on big-endian architecture if the number of bits is not
a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.
Actually, the number of bits in srmmu_nocache_bitmap is not always
a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. It is calculated as below:
bitmap_bits = srmmu_nocache_size >> SRMMU_NOCACHE_BITMAP_SHIFT;
srmmu_nocache_size is decided proportionally by the amount of system RAM
and it is rounded to a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. SRMMU_NOCACHE_BITMAP_SHIFT
is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT - 4). So it can only be said that bitmap_bits
is a multiple of 16.
This fixes the problem by using bitmap_clear() instead of memset()
in bit_map_init() and this also uses BITS_TO_LONGS() to calculate correct
size at bitmap allocation time.

This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4.
We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via
the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for
bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero.
As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte
subblock of the L2 cache line, it works.
As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to
avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost
at least 50 cycles.
For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the
Niagara-1 variants instead. Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable
way.
A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles.
Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store
ASIs. By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least
Recently Used. If we know we're going to use the data immediately
(which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most
Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being
evicted before they get used.

To use this, an architecture simply needs to:
1) Provide a user_addr_max() implementation via asm/uaccess.h
2) Add "select GENERIC_STRNCPY_FROM_USER" to their arch Kcnfig
3) Remove the existing strncpy_from_user() implementation and symbol
exports their architecture had.

Hide details of maximum user address calculation in a new
asm/uaccess.h interface named user_addr_max().
Provide little-endian implementation in find_zero(), which should work
but can probably be improved.
Abstrace alignment check behind IS_UNALIGNED() macro.
Kill double-semicolon, noticed by David Howells.

Compute a mask that will only have 0x80 in the bytes which
had a zero in them. The formula is:
~(((x & 0x7f7f7f7f) + 0x7f7f7f7f) | x | 0x7f7f7f7f)
In the inner word iteration, we have to compute the "x | 0x7f7f7f7f"
part, so we can reuse that in the above calculation.
Once we have this mask, we perform divide and conquer to find the
highest 0x80 location.
