Allow the compiler to better optimize the page table walking code
by avoiding over-complex pmd_addr_end() calculations. These
calculations prevent the compiler spotting that we'll never iterate
over the PMD table, causing it to create double nested loops where
a single loop will do.

ARMv7 onwards requires that there are no aliases to the same physical
location using different memory types (i.e. Normal vs Strongly Ordered).
Access to SO mappings when the unaligned accesses are handled in
hardware is also Unpredictable (pgprot_noncached() mappings in user
space).
The /dev/mem driver requires uncached mappings with O_SYNC. The patch
implements the phys_mem_access_prot() function which generates Strongly
Ordered memory attributes if !pfn_valid() (independent of O_SYNC) and
Normal Noncacheable (writecombine) if O_SYNC.

On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a
different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in
update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in
set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC).
This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and
implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards
architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the
update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a
vm_area_struct is required.

Provide a configuration option to allow the ARMv6 to use normal
bufferable memory for coherent DMA. This option is forced to 'y'
for ARMv7, and offered as a configuration option on ARMv6.
Enabling this option requires drivers to have the necessary barriers
to ensure that data in DMA coherent memory is visible prior to the
DMA operation commencing.

On ARMv7, it is invalid to map the same physical address multiple times
with different memory types. Since system RAM is already mapped as
'memory', subsequent remapping of it must retain this attribute.
However, DMA memory maps it as "strongly ordered". Fix this by introducing
'pgprot_dmacoherent()' which provides the necessary page table bits for
DMA mappings.

Add the ARM implementation of highpte, which allows PTE tables to be

For future compatibility, we need to ensure that swap and file Linux
PTEs conform with the hardware PTEs "fault" encoding. Swap PTEs
already fit in with this, but file PTEs do not. Shift them by one
bit to ensure that they conform, using bit 2 to distinguish between
swap and file PTEs.

In the long run, we may want to place page tables in highmem. However,
pmd_page() has traditionally been coded to convert the physical address
to a virtual one, which won't work with highmem pages. Instead,
translate the physical address to a PFN, and then convert the PFN to a
struct page instead.

Provide L_PTE_MT_xxx definitions to describe the memory types that we
use in Linux/ARM. These definitions are carefully picked such that:
1. their LSBs match what is required for pre-ARMv6 CPUs.
2. they all have a unique encoding, including after modification
by build_mem_type_table() (the result being that some have more
than one combination.)
