When handling a fault in stage-2, we need to resync I$ and D$, just
to be sure we don't leave any old cache line behind.
That's very good, except that we do so using the *user* address.
Under heavy load (swapping like crazy), we may end up in a situation
where the page gets mapped in stage-2 while being unmapped from
userspace by another CPU.
At that point, the DC/IC instructions can generate a fault, which
we handle with kvm->mmu_lock held. The box quickly deadlocks, user
is unhappy.
Instead, perform this invalidation through the kernel mapping,
which is guaranteed to be present. The box is much happier, and so
am I.

Let's assume a guest has created an uncached mapping, and written
to that page. Let's also assume that the host uses a cache-coherent
IO subsystem. Let's finally assume that the host is under memory
pressure and starts to swap things out.
Before this "uncached" page is evicted, we need to make sure
we invalidate potential speculated, clean cache lines that are
sitting there, or the IO subsystem is going to swap out the
cached view, loosing the data that has been written directly
into memory.

Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
set/way operations.
So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).
This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
probably help bootloaders in general.

Introduce a new function to unmap user RAM regions in the stage2 page
tables. This is needed on reboot (or when the guest turns off the MMU)
to ensure we fault in pages again and make the dcache, RAM, and icache
coherent.
Using unmap_stage2_range for the whole guest physical range does not
work, because that unmaps IO regions (such as the GIC) which will not be
recreated or in the best case faulted in on a page-by-page basis.
Call this function on secondary and subsequent calls to the
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl so that a reset VCPU will detect the guest
Stage-1 MMU is off when faulting in pages and make the caches coherent.

This patch adds the necessary support for all host kernel PGSIZE and
VA_SPACE configuration options for both EL2 and the Stage-2 page tables.
However, for 40bit and 42bit PARange systems, the architecture mandates
that VTCR_EL2.SL0 is maximum 1, resulting in fewer levels of stage-2
pagge tables than levels of host kernel page tables. At the same time,
systems with a PARange > 42bit, we limit the IPA range by always setting
VTCR_EL2.T0SZ to 24.
To solve the situation with different levels of page tables for Stage-2
translation than the host kernel page tables, we allocate a dummy PGD
with pointers to our actual inital level Stage-2 page table, in order
for us to reuse the kernel pgtable manipulation primitives. Reproducing
all these in KVM does not look pretty and unnecessarily complicates the
32-bit side.
Systems with a PARange < 40bits are not yet supported.
[ I have reworked this patch from its original form submitted by
Jungseok to take the architecture constraints into consideration.
There were too many changes from the original patch for me to
preserve the authorship. Thanks to Catalin Marinas for his help in
figuring out a good solution to this challenge. I have also fixed
various bugs and missing error code handling from the original
patch. - Christoffer ]

The current aarch64 calculation for VTTBR_BADDR_MASK masks only 39 bits
and not all the bits in the PA range. This is clearly a bug that
manifests itself on systems that allocate memory in the higher address
space range.
[ Modified from Joel's original patch to be based on PHYS_MASK_SHIFT
instead of a hard-coded value and to move the alignment check of the
allocation to mmu.c. Also added a comment explaining why we hardcode
the IPA range and changed the stage-2 pgd allocation to be based on
the 40 bit IPA range instead of the maximum possible 48 bit PA range.

The ISS encoding for an exception from a Data Abort has a WnR
bit[6] that indicates whether the Data Abort was caused by a
read or a write instruction. While there are several fields
in the encoding that are only valid if the ISV bit[24] is set,
WnR is not one of them, so we can read it unconditionally.
Instead of fixing both implementations of kvm_is_write_fault()
in place, reimplement it just once using kvm_vcpu_dabt_iswrite(),
which already does the right thing with respect to the WnR bit.
Also fix up the callers to pass 'vcpu'

unmap_range() was utterly broken, to quote Marc, and broke in all sorts
of situations. It was also quite complicated to follow and didn't
follow the usual scheme of having a separate iterating function for each
level of page tables.
Address this by refactoring the code and introduce a pgd_clear()
function.

When the guest runs with caches disabled (like in an early boot
sequence, for example), all the writes are diectly going to RAM,
bypassing the caches altogether.
Once the MMU and caches are enabled, whatever sits in the cache
becomes suddenly visible, which isn't what the guest expects.
A way to avoid this potential disaster is to invalidate the cache
when the MMU is being turned on. For this, we hook into the SCTLR_EL1
trapping code, and scan the stage-2 page tables, invalidating the
pages/sections that have already been mapped in.

The use of p*d_addr_end with stage-2 translation is slightly dodgy,
as the IPA is 40bits, while all the p*d_addr_end helpers are
taking an unsigned long (arm64 is fine with that as unligned long
is 64bit).
The fix is to introduce 64bit clean versions of the same helpers,
and use them in the stage-2 page table code.

In order for the guest with caches off to observe data written
contained in a given page, we need to make sure that page is
committed to memory, and not just hanging in the cache (as
guest accesses are completely bypassing the cache until it
decides to enable it).
For this purpose, hook into the coherent_icache_guest_page
function and flush the region if the guest SCTLR_EL1
register doesn't show the MMU and caches as being enabled.
The function also get renamed to coherent_cache_guest_page.

KVM initialisation fails on architectures implementing virt_to_idmap()
because virt_to_phys() on such architectures won't fetch you the correct
idmap page.
So update the KVM ARM code to use the virt_to_idmap() to fix the issue.
Since the KVM code is shared between arm and arm64, we create
kvm_virt_to_phys() and handle the redirection in respective headers.

Support huge pages in KVM/ARM and KVM/ARM64. The pud_huge checking on
the unmap path may feel a bit silly as the pud_huge check is always
defined to false, but the compiler should be smart about this.
Note: This deals only with VMAs marked as huge which are allocated by
users through hugetlbfs only. Transparent huge pages can only be
detected by looking at the underlying pages (or the page tables
themselves) and this patch so far simply maps these on a page-by-page
level in the Stage-2 page tables.
