* powerpc: Add memory management headers for new 64-bit BookEBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-08-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the PTE and pgtable format definitions, along with changes to the kernel memory map and other definitions related to implementing support for 64-bit Book3E. This also shields some asm-offset bits that are currently only relevant on 32-bit We also move the definition of the "linux" page size constants to the common mmu.h file and add a few sizes that are relevant to embedded processors.

* powerpc: Fix oops when loading modulesPaul Mackerras2009-04-071-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem reported by Sean MacLennan where loading any module would cause an oops. We weren't marking the pages containing the module text as having hardware execute permission, due to a bug introduced in commit 8d1cf34e ("powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination definitions"), hence trying to execute the module text caused an exception on processors that support hardware execute permission. This adds _PAGE_HWEXEC to the definitions of PAGE_KERNEL_X and PAGE_KERNEL_ROX to fix this problem.

* powerpc/mm: Merge various PTE bits and accessors definitionsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2009-03-241-0/+180
Now that they are almost identical, we can merge some of the definitions related to the PTE format into common files. This creates a new pte-common.h which is included by both 32 and 64-bit right after the CPU specific pte-*.h file, and which defines some bits to "default" values if they haven't been defined already, and then provides a generic definition of most of the bit combinations based on these and exposed to the rest of the kernel. I also moved to the common pgtable.h most of the "small" accessors to the PTE bits and modification helpers (pte_mk*). The actual accessors remain in their separate files.
