Helge Deller b00a56e647 parisc: Optimize per-pagetable spinlocks 
[ Upstream commit b7795074a0 ]

On parisc a spinlock is stored in the next page behind the pgd which
protects against parallel accesses to the pgd. That's why one additional
page (PGD_ALLOC_ORDER) is allocated for the pgd.

Matthew Wilcox suggested that we instead should use a pointer in the
struct page table for this spinlock and noted, that the comments for the
PGD_ORDER and PMD_ORDER defines were wrong.

Both suggestions are addressed with this patch. Instead of having an own
spinlock to protect the pgd, we now switch to use the existing
page_table_lock.  Additionally, beside loading the pgd into cr25 in
switch_mm_irqs_off(), the physical address of this lock is loaded into
cr28 (tr4), so that we can avoid implementing a complicated lookup in
assembly for this lock in the TLB fault handlers.

The existing Hybrid L2/L3 page table scheme (where the pmd is adjacent
to the pgd) has been dropped with this patch.

Remove the locking in set_pte() and the huge-page pte functions too.
They trigger a spinlock recursion on 32bit machines and seem unnecessary.

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.
