With LPAE enabled, privileged no-access cannot be enforced using CPU
domains as such feature is not available. This patch implements PAN
by disabling TTBR0 page table walks while in kernel mode.
The ARM architecture allows page table walks to be split between TTBR0
and TTBR1. With LPAE enabled, the split is defined by a combination of
TTBCR T0SZ and T1SZ bits. Currently, an LPAE-enabled kernel uses TTBR0
for user addresses and TTBR1 for kernel addresses with the VMSPLIT_2G
and VMSPLIT_3G configurations. The main advantage for the 3:1 split is
that TTBR1 is reduced to 2 levels, so potentially faster TLB refill
(though usually the first level entries are already cached in the TLB).
The PAN support on LPAE-enabled kernels uses TTBR0 when running in user
space or in kernel space during user access routines (TTBCR T0SZ and
T1SZ are both 0). When running user accesses are disabled in kernel
mode, TTBR0 page table walks are disabled by setting TTBCR.EPD0. TTBR1
is used for kernel accesses (including loadable modules; anything
covered by swapper_pg_dir) by reducing the TTBCR.T0SZ to the minimum
(2^(32-7) = 32MB). To avoid user accesses potentially hitting stale TLB
entries, the ASID is switched to 0 (reserved) by setting TTBCR.A1 and
using the ASID value in TTBR1. The difference from a non-PAN kernel is
that with the 3:1 memory split, TTBR1 always uses 3 levels of page
tables.
As part of the change we are using preprocessor elif definied() clauses
so balance these clauses by converting relevant precedingt ifdef
clauses to if defined() clauses.

The cachepolicy variable gets initialized using a masked pmd
value. So far, the pmd has been masked with flags valid for the
2-page table format, but the 3-page table format requires a
different mask. On LPAE, this lead to a wrong assumption of what
initial cache policy has been used. Later a check forces the
cache policy to writealloc and prints the following warning:
Forcing write-allocate cache policy for SMP
This patch introduces a new definition PMD_SECT_CACHE_MASK for
both page table formats which masks in all cache flags in both
cases.

For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty
ptes:
L_PTE_DIRTY L_PTE_RDONLY
!pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1
!pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1
pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1
pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0
So we can't distinguish between writeable clean ptes and read only
ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as
read only when they are writeable but not dirty.
This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58,
and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only
or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes
and read only ptes.
HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically.
We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they
correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has
moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising
THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to
make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.

Sets up KVM code to handle all exceptions taken to Hyp mode.
When the kernel is booted in Hyp mode, calling an hvc instruction with r0
pointing to the new vectors, the HVBAR is changed to the the vector pointers.
This allows subsystems (like KVM here) to execute code in Hyp-mode with the
MMU disabled.
We initialize other Hyp-mode registers and enables the MMU for Hyp-mode from
the id-mapped hyp initialization code. Afterwards, the HVBAR is changed to
point to KVM Hyp vectors used to catch guest faults and to switch to Hyp mode
to perform a world-switch into a KVM guest.
Also provides memory mapping code to map required code pages, data structures,
and I/O regions accessed in Hyp mode at the same virtual address as the host
kernel virtual addresses, but which conforms to the architectural requirements
for translations in Hyp mode. This interface is added in arch/arm/kvm/arm_mmu.c
and comprises:
- create_hyp_mappings(from, to);
- create_hyp_io_mappings(from, to, phys_addr);
- free_hyp_pmds();
