The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.
That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.
In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.
However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d45 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.
To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.
This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.
Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

noMMU configuration doesn't use special area for vmalloc allocations,
don't print it in the memory map.
PAGE_OFFSET is fixed to 0 in noMMU, use min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn for
lowmem range display.
Make all XCHAL_KSEG_* constants unsigned long for consistency with other
addresses.

Memory accounting code can't handle pages below
PLATFORM_DEFAULT_MEM_START. Reserve those pages if they exist.
When PLATFORM_DEFAULT_MEM_START is zero reserve one page at address 0 to
make sure that successfull memory allocations don't return NULL.

Use __flush_invalidate_dcache_page_alias with alias set to color of the
page physical address instead of __flush_invalidate_dcache_page: this
works for high memory pages and mapping/unmapping to the TLBTEMP area is
virtually free.
Allow building configurations with aliasing cache and highmem enabled.

Define ARCH_PKMAP_COLORING and provide corresponding macro definitions
on cores with aliasing data cache.
Instead of single last_pkmap_nr maintain an array last_pkmap_nr_arr of
pkmap counters for each page color. Make sure that kmap maps physical
page at virtual address with color matching its physical address.

Map high memory pages at virtual addresses with color that match color
of their physical address. Existing cache alias management mechanisms
may be used with such pages.

Existing clear_user_page and copy_user_page cannot be used with highmem
because they calculate physical page address from its virtual address
and do it incorrectly in case of high memory page mapped with
kmap_atomic. Also kmap is not needed, as most likely userspace mapping
color would be different from the kmapped color.
Provide clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage functions that
determine if temporary mapping is needed for the pages. Move most of the
logic of the former clear_user_page and copy_user_page to
xtensa/mm/cache.c only leaving temporary mapping setup, invalidation and
clearing/copying in the xtensa/mm/misc.S. Rename these functions to
clear_page_alias and copy_page_alias.

To support aliasing cache both kmap region sizes are multiplied by the
number of data cache colors. After that expansion page tables that cover
kmap regions may become larger than one page. Correctly allocate and
initialize page tables in this case.

It's much easier to reason about alignment and coloring of regions
located in the fixmap when fixmap index is just a PFN within the fixmap
region. Change fixmap addressing so that index 0 corresponds to
FIXADDR_START instead of the FIXADDR_TOP.

When sysmem reservation occurs exactly at the end of an existing block
that block is deleted, because it is incorrectly included in the range
of memblocks to remove. Fix that by skipping such block.

Introduce fixmap area just below the vmalloc region. Use it for atomic
mapping of high memory pages.
High memory on cores with cache aliasing is not supported and is still
to be implemented. Fail build for such configurations for now.

This option is useful for reserving memory regions for secondary cores
in AMP configurations.
Implement the following memmap variants:
- memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]: force usage of a specific region of memory;
- memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]: mark specified memory as reserved;
- memmap=nn[KMG]: set end of memory.

Bootparam meminfo is a bootloader ABI, kernel meminfo is for the kernel
bookkeeping, keep them separate. Kernel doesn't care of memory region
types, so drop the type field and don't pass it to add_sysmem_bank.

variable and add_sysmem_bank to mm/init.c
