Enhanced Privileged Access Never (EPAN) allows Privileged Access Never
to be used with Execute-only mappings.

Absence of such support was a reason for 24cecc377463 ("arm64: Revert
support for execute-only user mappings"). Thus now it can be revisited
and re-enabled.

In order to further configure stage 2 page-tables, pass flags to the
init function using a new enum.

The first of these flags allows to disable FWB even if the hardware
supports it as we will need to do so for the host stage 2.

<title>arm64: mte: Map hotplugged memory as Normal Tagged</title>

<content type='text'>
In a system supporting MTE, the linear map must allow reading/writing
allocation tags by setting the memory type as Normal Tagged. Currently,
this is only handled for memory present at boot. Hotplugged memory uses
Normal non-Tagged memory.

Introduce pgprot_mhp() for hotplugged memory and use it in
add_memory_resource(). The arm64 code maps pgprot_mhp() to
pgprot_tagged().

Note that ZONE_DEVICE memory should not be mapped as Tagged and
therefore setting the memory type in arch_add_memory() is not feasible.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "For x86, there is a new alternative and (in the future) more scalable
  implementation of extended page tables that does not need a reverse
  map from guest physical addresses to host physical addresses.

  For now it is disabled by default because it is still lacking a few of
  the existing MMU's bells and whistles. However it is a very solid
  piece of work and it is already available for people to hammer on it.

  Other updates:

  ARM:
   - New page table code for both hypervisor and guest stage-2
   - Introduction of a new EL2-private host context
   - Allow EL2 to have its own private per-CPU variables
   - Support of PMU event filtering
   - Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation

  PPC:
   - Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip
   - Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup
   - Minor cleanups and bugfixes

  x86:
   - allow trapping unknown MSRs to userspace
   - allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs
   - INVPCID support on AMD
   - nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state
   - hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID
   - new test for MSR_IA32_TSC writes from host and guest
   - cleanups: MMU, CPUID, shared MSRs
   - LAPIC latency optimizations ad bugfixes"

stage-2 page-tables, we can remove a bunch of unused macros, #defines
and static inline functions from the old implementation.

Now that we have a shiny new page-table allocator, replace the hyp
page-table code with calls into the new API. This also allows us to
remove the extended idmap code, as we can now simply ensure that the
VA size is large enough to map everything we need.

<title>arm64/mm: Change THP helpers to comply with generic MM semantics</title>

<content type='text'>
pmd_present() and pmd_trans_huge() are expected to behave in the following
manner during various phases of a given PMD. It is derived from a previous
detailed discussion on this topic [1] and present THP documentation [2].

pmd_present(pmd):

- Returns true if pmd refers to system RAM with a valid pmd_page(pmd)
- Returns false if pmd refers to a migration or swap entry

pmd_trans_huge(pmd):

- Returns true if pmd refers to system RAM and is a trans huge mapping

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	PMD states	|	pmd_present	|	pmd_trans_huge	|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Mapped		|	Yes		|	Yes		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Splitting	|	Yes		|	Yes		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Migration/Swap	|	No		|	No		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem:

PMD is first invalidated with pmdp_invalidate() before it's splitting. This
invalidation clears PMD_SECT_VALID as below.

PMD Split -&gt; pmdp_invalidate() -&gt; pmd_mkinvalid -&gt; Clears PMD_SECT_VALID

Once PMD_SECT_VALID gets cleared, it results in pmd_present() return false
on the PMD entry. It will need another bit apart from PMD_SECT_VALID to re-
affirm pmd_present() as true during the THP split process. To comply with
above mentioned semantics, pmd_trans_huge() should also check pmd_present()
first before testing presence of an actual transparent huge mapping.

The solution:

Ideally PMD_TYPE_SECT should have been used here instead. But it shares the
bit position with PMD_SECT_VALID which is used for THP invalidation. Hence
it will not be there for pmd_present() check after pmdp_invalidate().

A new software defined PMD_PRESENT_INVALID (bit 59) can be set on the PMD
entry during invalidation which can help pmd_present() return true and in
recognizing the fact that it still points to memory.

This bit is transient. During the split process it will be overridden by a
page table page representing normal pages in place of erstwhile huge page.
Other pmdp_invalidate() callers always write a fresh PMD value on the entry
overriding this transient PMD_PRESENT_INVALID bit, which makes it safe.

Once user space is given access to tagged memory, the kernel must be
able to clear/save/restore tags visible to the user. This is done via
the linear mapping, therefore map it as such. The new MT_NORMAL_TAGGED
index for MAIR_EL1 is initially mapped as Normal memory and later
changed to Normal Tagged via the cpufeature infrastructure. From a
mismatched attribute aliases perspective, the Tagged memory is
considered a permission and it won't lead to undefined behaviour.
