A side effect of commit c55191e96caa ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions
of VM areas to its linear alias as well") is that the linear map is
created with page granularity, which means that transitioning the early
page table from global to non-global mappings when enabling kpti can
take a significant amount of time during boot.
Given that most CPU implementations do not require kpti, this mainly
impacts KASLR builds where kpti is forcefully enabled. However, in these
situations we know early on that non-global mappings are required and
can avoid the use of global mappings from the beginning. The only gotcha
is Cavium erratum #27456, which we must detect based on the MIDR value
of the boot CPU.

On systems where CTR_EL0.DIC is set, we don't need to perform
icache invalidation to guarantee that we'll fetch the right
instruction stream.
This also means that taking a permission fault to invalidate the
icache is an unnecessary overhead.
On such systems, we can safely leave the page as being executable.

Up to ARMv8.3, the combinaison of Stage-1 and Stage-2 attributes
results in the strongest attribute of the two stages. This means
that the hypervisor has to perform quite a lot of cache maintenance
just in case the guest has some non-cacheable mappings around.
ARMv8.4 solves this problem by offering a different mode (FWB) where
Stage-2 has total control over the memory attribute (this is limited
to systems where both I/O and instruction fetches are coherent with
the dcache). This is achieved by having a different set of memory
attributes in the page tables, and a new bit set in HCR_EL2.
On such a system, we can then safely sidestep any form of dcache
management.

To allow systems which do not require kpti to continue running with
global kernel mappings (which appears to be a requirement for Cavium
ThunderX due to a CPU erratum), make the use of nG in the kernel page
tables dependent on arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0(), which is resolved
at runtime.

We've so far eagerly invalidated the icache, no matter how
the page was faulted in (data or prefetch abort).
But we can easily track execution by setting the XN bits
in the S2 page tables, get the prefetch abort at HYP and
perform the icache invalidation at that time only.
As for most VMs, the instruction working set is pretty
small compared to the data set, this is likely to save
some traffic (specially as the invalidation is broadcast).

In preparation for unmapping the kernel whilst running in userspace,
make the kernel mappings non-global so we can avoid expensive TLB
invalidation on kernel exit to userspace.

Currently PTE_RDONLY is treated as a hardware only bit and not handled
by the pte_mkwrite(), pte_wrprotect() or the user PAGE_* definitions.
The set_pte_at() function is responsible for setting this bit based on
the write permission or dirty state. This patch moves the PTE_RDONLY
handling out of set_pte_at into the pte_mkwrite()/pte_wrprotect()
functions. The PAGE_* definitions to need to be updated to explicitly
include PTE_RDONLY when !PTE_WRITE.
The patch also removes the redundant PAGE_COPY(_EXEC) definitions as
they are identical to the corresponding PAGE_READONLY(_EXEC).

The ARMv8 architecture allows execute-only user permissions by clearing
the PTE_UXN and PTE_USER bits. However, the kernel running on a CPU
implementation without User Access Override (ARMv8.2 onwards) can still
access such page, so execute-only page permission does not protect
against read(2)/write(2) etc. accesses. Systems requiring such
protection must enable features like SECCOMP.
This patch changes the arm64 __P100 and __S100 protection_map[] macros
to the new __PAGE_EXECONLY attributes. A side effect is that
pte_user() no longer triggers for __PAGE_EXECONLY since PTE_USER isn't
set. To work around this, the check is done on the PTE_NG bit via the
pte_ng() macro. VM_READ is also checked now for page faults.

Structures that can be generally written to don't have any requirement
to be executable (quite the opposite). This includes the kvm and vcpu
structures, as well as the stacks.
Let's change the default to incorporate the XN flag.

There should be no reason for mapping the HYP text read/write.
As such, let's have a new set of flags (PAGE_HYP_EXEC) that allows
execution, but makes the page as read-only, and update the two call
sites that deal with mapping code.

In order to be able to use C code in HYP, we're now mapping the kernel's
rodata in HYP. It works absolutely fine, except that we're mapping it RWX,
which is not what it should be.
Add a new HYP_PAGE_RO protection, and pass it as the protection flags
when mapping the rodata section.

The asm-generic fixmap.h depends on each architecture's fixmap.h to pull
in the definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, if this exists. In the absence of
this, FIXMAP_PAGE_RO will not be defined. In mm/early_ioremap.c the
definition of early_memremap_ro is predicated on FIXMAP_PAGE_RO being
defined.
Currently, the arm64 fixmap.h doesn't include pgtable.h for the
definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, and as a knock-on effect early_memremap_ro
is not always defined, leading to link-time failures when it is used.
This has been observed with defconfig on next-20160226.
Unfortunately, as pgtable.h includes fixmap.h, adding the include
introduces a circular dependency, which is just as fragile.
Instead, this patch factors out PAGE_KERNEL_RO and other prot
definitions into a new pgtable-prot header which can be included by poth
pgtable.h and fixmap.h, avoiding the circular dependency, and ensuring
that early_memremap_ro is alwyas defined where it is used.
