Many files in arch/powerpc/mm are only for book3S64. This patch
creates a subdirectory for them.

This patch fixes the below crash by making sure we touch the subpage
protection related structures only if we know they are allocated on
the platform. With radix translation we don't allocate hash context at
all and trying to access subpage_prot_table results in:

  Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000008bdb4

We also move the subpage_prot_table with mmp_sem held to avoid race
between two parallel subpage_prot syscall.

Allocate subpage protect related variables only if we use the feature.
This helps in reducing the hash related mm context struct by around 4K

Before the patch
sizeof(struct hash_mm_context)  = 8288

After the patch
sizeof(struct hash_mm_context) = 4160

We want to switch to allocating them runtime only when hash translation is
enabled. Add helpers so that both book3s and nohash can be adapted to
upcoming change easily.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<id>urn:sha1:96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693</id>
<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

With SYSCALL_DEFINEx() disabling -Wattribute-alias generically, there's
no need to duplicate that for PowerPC syscalls.

This reverts commit 415520373975 ("powerpc: fix build failure by
disabling attribute-alias warning in pci_32") and commit 2479bfc9bc60
("powerpc: Fix build by disabling attribute-alias warning for

GCC 8.1 emits warnings such as the following. As arch/powerpc code is
built with -Werror, this breaks the build with GCC 8.1.

  In file included from arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_64.c:23:
  ./include/linux/syscalls.h:233:18: error: 'sys_pciconfig_iobase' alias
  between functions of incompatible types 'long int(long int, long
  unsigned int, long unsigned int)' and 'long int(long int, long int,
  long int)' [-Werror=attribute-alias]
    asmlinkage long sys##name(__MAP(x,__SC_DECL,__VA_ARGS__)) \
                    ^~~
  ./include/linux/syscalls.h:222:2: note: in expansion of macro '__SYSCALL_DEFINEx'
    __SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, sname, __VA_ARGS__)

This patch inhibits those warnings.

Radix enabled platforms don't support subpage_prot() system calls. But
at present the system call goes through without an error and fails
later on while validating expected subpage accesses. Lets not allow
the system call on powerpc radix platforms to begin with to prevent
this confusion in user space.
