The architecture specification states that both DSB and ISB are required between page table modifications and subsequent memory accesses using the corresponding virtual address. When TLB invalidation takes place, the tlb_flush_* functions already have the necessary barriers. However, there are other functions like create_mapping() for which this is not the case. The patch adds the DSB+ISB instructions in the set_pte() function for valid kernel mappings. The invalid pte case is handled by tlb_flush_* and the user mappings in general have a corresponding update_mmu_cache() call containing a DSB. Even when update_mmu_cache() isn't called, the kernel can still cope with an unlikely spurious page fault by re-executing the instruction. In addition, the set_pmd, set_pud() functions gain an ISB for architecture compliance when block mappings are created.

When calling our low-level barrier macros directly, we can often suffice with more relaxed behaviour than the default "all accesses, full system" option. This patch updates the users of dsb() to specify the option which they actually require.

The tlb maintainence functions: __cpu_flush_user_tlb_range and __cpu_flush_kern_tlb_range do not take into consideration the page granule when looping through the address range, and repeatedly flush tlb entries for the same page when operating with 64K pages. This patch re-works the logic s.t. we instead advance the loop by 1 << (PAGE_SHIFT - 12), so avoid repeating ourselves. Also the routines have been converted from assembler to static inline functions to aid with legibility and potential compiler optimisations. The isb() has been removed from flush_tlb_kernel_range(.) as it is only needed when changing the execute permission of a mapping. If one needs to set an area of the kernel as execute/non-execute an isb() must be inserted after the call to flush_tlb_kernel_range.

Bring Transparent HugePage support to ARM. The size of a transparent huge page depends on the normal page size. A transparent huge page is always represented as a pmd. If PAGE_SIZE is 4KB, THPs are 2MB. If PAGE_SIZE is 64KB, THPs are 512MB. Signed-off-by: NSteve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> Acked-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This patch adds the TLB maintenance functions. There is no distinction made between the I and D TLBs. TLB maintenance operations are automatically broadcast between CPUs in hardware. The inner-shareable operations are always present, even on UP systems. NOTE: Large part of this patch to be dropped once Peter Z's generic mmu_gather patches are merged.
