r333273 and partially reverted with r333594.
Older CPUs implement addition of offsets into the page table by a
bitwise OR rather than actual addition, which only works if the table is
aligned at a multiple of its own size (they also require it to be aligned
at a multiple of 256KB). Newer ones do not have that requirement, but it
hardly matters to enforce it anyway.
The original code was failing on newer systems with huge amounts of RAM
(> 512 GB), in which the page table was 4 GB in size. Because the
bootstrap memory allocator took its alignment parameter as an int, this
turned into a 0, removing any alignment constraint at all and making
the MMU fail. The first round of this patch (r333273) fixed this case by
aligning it at 256 KB, which broke older CPUs. Fix this instead by widening
the alignment parameter.
The POWER9 MMU (PowerISA 3.0) is slightly different from current
configurations, using a partition table even for hypervisor mode, and
dropping the SDR1 register. Key off the newly early-enabled CPU features
flags for the new architecture, and configure the MMU appropriately.
The POWER9 MMU ignores the "PSIZ" field in the PTCR, and expects a 64kB
table. As we are enabled for powernv (hypervisor mode, no VMs), only
initialize partition table entry 0, and zero out the rest. The actual
contents of the register are identical to SDR1 from previous architectures.
Along with this, fix a bug in the page table allocation with very large
memory. The table can be allocated on any 256k boundary. The
bootstrap_alloc alignment argument is an int, and with large amounts of
memory passing the size of the table as the alignment will overflow an
integer. Hard-code the alignment at 256k as wider alignment is not
necessary.

accomplishes a few things:
- Makes NULL an invalid address in the kernel, which is useful for catching
bugs.
- Lays groundwork for radix-tree translation on POWER9, which requires the
direct map be at high memory.
- Similarly lays groundwork for a direct map on 64-bit Book-E.
The new base address is chosen as the base of the fourth radix quadrant
(the minimum kernel address in this translation mode) and because all
supported CPUs ignore at least the first two bits of addresses in real
mode, allowing direct-map addresses to be used in real-mode handlers.
This is required by Linux and is part of the architecture standard
starting in POWER ISA 3, so can be relied upon.

This is part of a long-term goal of merging Book-E and AIM into a single GENERIC
kernel. As more work is done, the struct may be optimized further.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
this change is to improve concurrency:
- Drop global state stored in the shadow overflow page table (and all other
global state)
- Remove all global locks
- Use per-PTE lock bits to allow parallel page insertion
- Reconstruct state when requested for evicted PTEs instead of buffering
it during overflow
This drops total wall time for make buildworld on a 32-thread POWER8 system
by a factor of two and system time by a factor of three, providing performance
20% better than similarly clocked Core i7 Xeons per-core. Performance on
smaller SMP systems, where PMAP lock contention was not as much of an issue,
is nearly unchanged.
