Michael Ellerman 8ebe3bb368 powerpc/64e: remove unused IBM HTW code 
[ Upstream commit 88715b6e5d ]

Patch series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500,
book3s/64)", v7.

Unlike most architectures, powerpc 8xx HW requires a two-level pagetable
topology for all page sizes.  So a leaf PMD-contig approach is not
feasible as such.

Possible sizes on 8xx are 4k, 16k, 512k and 8M.

First level (PGD/PMD) covers 4M per entry.  For 8M pages, two PMD entries
must point to a single entry level-2 page table.  Until now that was done
using hugepd.  This series changes it to use standard page tables where
the entry is replicated 1024 times on each of the two pagetables refered
by the two associated PMD entries for that 8M page.

For e500 and book3s/64 there are less constraints because it is not tied
to the HW assisted tablewalk like on 8xx, so it is easier to use leaf PMDs
(and PUDs).

On e500 the supported page sizes are 4M, 16M, 64M, 256M and 1G.  All at
PMD level on e500/32 (mpc85xx) and mix of PMD and PUD for e500/64.  We
encode page size with 4 available bits in PTE entries.  On e300/32 PGD
entries size is increases to 64 bits in order to allow leaf-PMD entries
because PTE are 64 bits on e500.

On book3s/64 only the hash-4k mode is concerned.  It supports 16M pages as
cont-PMD and 16G pages as cont-PUD.  In other modes (radix-4k, radix-6k
and hash-64k) the sizes match with PMD and PUD sizes so that's just leaf
entries.  The hash processing make things a bit more complex.  To ease
things, __hash_page_huge() is modified to bail out when DIRTY or ACCESSED
bits are missing, leaving it to mm core to fix it.

This patch (of 23):

The nohash HTW_IBM (Hardware Table Walk) code is unused since support for
A2 was removed in commit fb5a515704 ("powerpc: Remove platforms/ wsp and
associated pieces") (2014).

The remaining supported CPUs use either no HTW (data_tlb_miss_bolted), or
the e6500 HTW (data_tlb_miss_e6500).

README 

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
