Christophe Leroy aa0ab02ba9 powerpc/mm/slice: Fix hugepage allocation at hint address on 8xx
On the 8xx, the page size is set in the PMD entry and applies to
all pages of the page table pointed by the said PMD entry.

When an app has some regular pages allocated (e.g. see below) and tries
to mmap() a huge page at a hint address covered by the same PMD entry,
the kernel accepts the hint allthough the 8xx cannot handle different
page sizes in the same PMD entry.

10000000-10001000 r-xp 00000000 00:0f 2597 /root/malloc
10010000-10011000 rwxp 00000000 00:0f 2597 /root/malloc

mmap(0x10080000, 524288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
     MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|0x40000, -1, 0) = 0x10080000

This results the app remaining forever in do_page_fault()/hugetlb_fault()
and when interrupting that app, we get the following warning:

[162980.038754] BUG: non-zero nr_ptes on freeing mm: 1
[162985.363322] BUG: non-zero nr_ptes on freeing mm: -1

In order to fix this, this patch uses the address space "slices"
implemented for BOOK3S/64 and enhanced to support PPC32 by the
preceding patch.

This patch modifies the context.id on the 8xx to be in the range
[1:16] instead of [0:15] in order to identify context.id == 0 as
not initialised contexts as done on BOOK3S

This patch activates CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES when CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is
selected for the 8xx

Alltough we could in theory have as many slices as PMD entries, the
current slices implementation limits the number of low slices to 16.
This limitation is not preventing us to fix the initial issue allthough
it is suboptimal. It will be cured in a subsequent patch.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
