Commit f7c90c2aa40048 ("x86/xen: don't write ptes directly in 32-bit
PV guests") introduced a regression for booting dom0 on huge systems
with lots of RAM (in the TB range).
Reason is that on those hosts the p2m list needs to be moved early in
the boot process and this requires temporary page tables to be created.
Said commit modified xen_set_pte_init() to use a hypercall for writing
a PTE, but this requires the page table being in the direct mapped
area, which is not the case for the temporary page tables used in
xen_relocate_p2m().
As the page tables are completely written before being linked to the
actual address space instead of set_pte() a plain write to memory can
be used in xen_relocate_p2m().

Patch series "NestMMU pte upgrade workaround for mprotect", v5.
We can upgrade pte access (R -> RW transition) via mprotect. We need to
make sure we follow the recommended pte update sequence as outlined in
commit bd5050e38aec ("powerpc/mm/radix: Change pte relax sequence to
handle nest MMU hang") for such updates. This patch series does that.
This patch (of 5):
Some architectures may want to call flush_tlb_range from these helpers.

There is a guard hole at the beginning of the kernel address space, also
used by hypervisors. It occupies 16 PGD entries.
This reserved range is not defined explicitely, it is calculated relative
to other entities: direct mapping and user space ranges.
The calculation got broken by recent changes of the kernel memory layout:
LDT remap range is now mapped before direct mapping and makes the
calculation invalid.
The breakage leads to crash on Xen dom0 boot[1].
Define the reserved range explicitely. It's part of kernel ABI (hypervisors
expect it to be stable) and must not depend on changes in the rest of
kernel memory layout.

On 5-level paging the LDT remap area is placed in the middle of the KASLR
randomization region and it can overlap with the direct mapping, the
vmalloc or the vmap area.
The LDT mapping is per mm, so it cannot be moved into the P4D page table
next to the CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for
5-level paging.
The 4 PGD slot gap just before the direct mapping is reserved for
hypervisors, so it cannot be used.
Move the direct mapping one slot deeper and use the resulting gap for the
LDT remap area. The resulting layout is the same for 4 and 5 level paging.

We met a kernel panic when enabling earlycon, which is due to the fixmap
address of earlycon is not statically setup.
Currently the static fixmap setup in head_64.S only covers 2M virtual
address space, while it actually could be in 4M space with different
kernel configurations, e.g. when VSYSCALL emulation is disabled.
So increase the static space to 4M for now by defining FIXMAP_PMD_NUM to 2,
and add a build time check to ensure that the fixmap is covered by the
initial static page tables.

Instead of using six globally visible paravirt ops structures combine
them in a single structure, keeping the original structures as
sub-structures.
This avoids the need to assemble struct paravirt_patch_template at
runtime on the stack each time apply_paravirt() is being called (i.e.
when loading a module).

In some cases 32-bit PAE PV guests still write PTEs directly instead of
using hypercalls. This is especially bad when clearing a PTE as this is
done via 32-bit writes which will produce intermediate L1TF attackable
PTEs.
Change the code to use hypercalls instead.

Merge fixes for missing TLB shootdowns.
This fixes a couple of cases that involved us possibly freeing page
table structures before the required TLB shootdown had been done.
There are a few cleanup patches to make the code easier to follow, and
to avoid some of the more problematic cases entirely when not necessary.
To make this easier for backports, it undoes the recent lazy TLB
patches, because the cleanups and fixes are more important, and Rik is
ok with re-doing them later when things have calmed down.
The missing TLB flush was only delayed, and the wrong ordering only
happened under memory pressure (and in theory under a couple of other
fairly theoretical situations), so this may have been all very unlikely
to have hit people in practice.
But getting the TLB shootdown wrong is _so_ hard to debug and see that I
consider this a crticial fix.
Many thanks to Jann Horn for having debugged this.

Commit 7b25b9cb0dad83 ("x86/xen/time: Initialize pv xen time in
init_hypervisor_platform()") moved the mapping of the shared info area
before pagetable_init(). This breaks booting as 32-bit PV guest as the
use of set_fixmap isn't possible at this time on 32-bit.
This can be worked around by populating the needed PMD on 32-bit
kernel earlier.
In order not to reimplement populate_extra_pte() using extend_brk()
for allocating new page tables extend alloc_low_pages() to do that in
case the early page table pool is not yet available.

In every hypervisor except for xen pv time ops are initialized in
init_hypervisor_platform().
Xen PV domains initialize time ops in x86_init.paging.pagetable_init(),
by calling xen_setup_shared_info() which is a poor design, as time is
needed prior to memory allocator.
xen_setup_shared_info() is called from two places: during boot, and
after suspend. Split the content of xen_setup_shared_info() into
three places:
1. add the clock relavent data into new xen pv init_platform vector, and
set clock ops in there.
2. move xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement() to new xen_pv_guest_late_init()
call.
3. Re-initializing parts of shared info copy to xen_pv_post_suspend() to
be symmetric to xen_pv_pre_suspend

trace_xen_mmu_flush_tlb{_all}
Doing an audit of trace events, I discovered two trace events in the xen
subsystem that use a hack to create zero data size trace events. This is not
what trace events are for. Trace events add memory footprint overhead, and
if all you need to do is see if a function is hit or not, simply make that
function noinline and use function tracer filtering.
Worse yet, the hack used was:
__array(char, x, 0)
Which creates a static string of zero in length. There's assumptions about
such constructs in ftrace that this is a dynamic string that is nul
terminated. This is not the case with these tracepoints and can cause
problems in various parts of ftrace.
Nuke the trace events!

Juergen Gross noticed that commit f7f99100d8d ("mm: stop zeroing memory
during allocation in vmemmap") broke XEN PV domains when deferred struct
page initialization is enabled.
This is because the xen's PagePinned() flag is getting erased from
struct pages when they are initialized later in boot.
Juergen fixed this problem by disabling deferred pages on xen pv
domains. It is desirable, however, to have this feature available as it
reduces boot time. This fix re-enables the feature for pv-dmains, and
fixes the problem the following way:
The fix is to delay setting PagePinned flag until struct pages for all
allocated memory are initialized, i.e. until after free_all_bootmem().
A new x86_init.hyper op init_after_bootmem() is called to let xen know
that boot allocator is done, and hence struct pages for all the
allocated memory are now initialized. If deferred page initialization
is enabled, the rest of struct pages are going to be initialized later
in boot once page_alloc_init_late() is called.
xen_after_bootmem() walks page table's pages and marks them pinned.

__flush_tlb_one_[user|kernel]()
flush_tlb_single() and flush_tlb_one() sound almost identical, but
they really mean "flush one user translation" and "flush one kernel
translation". Rename them to flush_tlb_one_user() and
flush_tlb_one_kernel() to make the semantics more obvious.
[ I was looking at some PTI-related code, and the flush-one-address code
is unnecessarily hard to understand because the names of the helpers are
uninformative. This came up during PTI review, but no one got around to
doing it. ]

Variable Length Arrays In Structs (VLAIS) is not supported by Clang, and
frowned upon by others.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/23/500
Here, the VLAIS was used because the size of the bitmap returned from
xen_mc_entry() depended on possibly (based on kernel configuration)
runtime sized data. Rather than declaring args as a VLAIS then calling
sizeof on *args, we calculate the appropriate sizeof args manually.
Further, we can get rid of the #ifdef's and rely on num_possible_cpus()
(thanks to a helpful checkpatch warning from an earlier version of this
patch).

Pull x86 PTI preparatory patches from Thomas Gleixner:
"Todays Advent calendar window contains twentyfour easy to digest
patches. The original plan was to have twenty three matching the date,
but a late fixup made that moot.
- Move the cpu_entry_area mapping out of the fixmap into a separate
address space. That's necessary because the fixmap becomes too big
with NRCPUS=8192 and this caused already subtle and hard to
diagnose failures.
The top most patch is fresh from today and cures a brain slip of
that tall grumpy german greybeard, who ignored the intricacies of
32bit wraparounds.
- Limit the number of CPUs on 32bit to 64. That's insane big already,
but at least it's small enough to prevent address space issues with
the cpu_entry_area map, which have been observed and debugged with
the fixmap code
- A few TLB flush fixes in various places plus documentation which of
the TLB functions should be used for what.
- Rename the SYSENTER stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA stack as it is used for
more than sysenter now and keeping the name makes backtraces
confusing.
- Prevent LDT inheritance on exec() by moving it to arch_dup_mmap(),
which is only invoked on fork().
- Make vysycall more robust.
- A few fixes and cleanups of the debug_pagetables code. Check
PAGE_PRESENT instead of checking the PTE for 0 and a cleanup of the
C89 initialization of the address hint array which already was out
of sync with the index enums.
- Move the ESPFIX init to a different place to prepare for PTI.
- Several code moves with no functional change to make PTI
integration simpler and header files less convoluted.
- Documentation fixes and clarifications"

A few thousand such pages are usually left around due to the re-use of
L1 tables having been provided by the hypervisor (Dom0) or tool stack
(DomU). Set NX in the direct map variant, which needs to be done in L2
due to the dual use of the re-used L1s.
For x86_configure_nx() to actually do what it is supposed to do, call
get_cpu_cap() first. This was broken by commit 4763ed4d45 ("x86, mm:

Physical addresses on processors supporting 5 level paging can be up to
52 bits wide. For a Xen pv guest running on such a machine those
physical addresses have to be supported in order to be able to use any
memory on the machine even if the guest itself does not support 5 level
paging.
So when reading/writing a MFN from/to a pte don't use the kernel's
PTE_PFN_MASK but a new XEN_PTE_MFN_MASK allowing full 40 bit wide MFNs.

As Eric said,
"what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the
kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this
information in something like the control page.
Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally
far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not
watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in
the kernel's .bss section."
This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one
advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because
vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.

x86's lazy TLB mode used to be fairly weak -- it would switch to
init_mm the first time it tried to flush a lazy TLB. This meant an
unnecessary CR3 write and, if the flush was remote, an unnecessary
IPI.
Rewrite it entirely. When we enter lazy mode, we simply remove the
CPU from mm_cpumask. This means that we need a way to figure out
whether we've missed a flush when we switch back out of lazy mode.
I use the tlb_gen machinery to track whether a context is up to
date.
Note to reviewers: this patch, my itself, looks a bit odd. I'm
using an array of length 1 containing (ctx_id, tlb_gen) rather than
just storing tlb_gen, and making it at array isn't necessary yet.
I'm doing this because the next few patches add PCID support, and,
with PCID, we need ctx_id, and the array will end up with a length
greater than 1. Making it an array now means that there will be
less churn and therefore less stress on your eyeballs.
NB: This is dubious but, AFAICT, still correct on Xen and UV.
