This provides better performance compared to Device GRE and also allows
unaligned accesses. Such memory is intended to be used with standard RAM
(e.g. framebuffers) and not I/O.

This patch expands the VA_BITS to 42 when the 64K page configuration is
enabled allowing 2TB kernel linear mapping. Linux still uses 2 levels of
page tables in this configuration with pgd now being a full page.

Bring Transparent HugePage support to ARM. The size of a
transparent huge page depends on the normal page size. A
transparent huge page is always represented as a pmd.
If PAGE_SIZE is 4KB, THPs are 2MB.
If PAGE_SIZE is 64KB, THPs are 512MB.

Add huge page support to ARM64, different huge page sizes are
supported depending on the size of normal pages:
PAGE_SIZE is 4KB:
2MB - (pmds) these can be allocated at any time.
1024MB - (puds) usually allocated on bootup with the command line
with something like: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=6
PAGE_SIZE is 64KB:
512MB - (pmds) usually allocated on bootup via command line.

Under ARM64, PTEs can be broadly categorised as follows:
- Present and valid: Bit #0 is set. The PTE is valid and memory
access to the region may fault.
- Present and invalid: Bit #0 is clear and bit #1 is set.
Represents present memory with PROT_NONE protection. The PTE
is an invalid entry, and the user fault handler will raise a
SIGSEGV.
- Not present (file or swap): Bits #0 and #1 are clear.
Memory represented has been paged out. The PTE is an invalid
entry, and the fault handler will try and re-populate the
memory where necessary.
Huge PTEs are block descriptors that have bit #1 clear. If we wish
to represent PROT_NONE huge PTEs we then run into a problem as
there is no way to distinguish between regular and huge PTEs if we
set bit #1.
To resolve this ambiguity this patch moves PTE_PROT_NONE from
bit #1 to bit #2 and moves PTE_FILE from bit #2 to bit #3. The
number of swap/file bits is reduced by 1 as a consequence, leaving
60 bits for file and swap entries.

If we consider the following code sequence:
my_pte = pte_modify(entry, myprot);
x = pte_write(my_pte);
y = pte_exec(my_pte);
If myprot comes from a PROT_NONE page, then x and y will both be
true which is undesireable behaviour.
This patch sets the no-execute and read-only bits for PAGE_NONE
such that the code above will return false for both x and y.

pte_index is a useful helper outside of arch/arm64, for things like the
ARM SMMU driver, so rename __pte_index to pte_index to be consistent
with both arch/arm/ and also the definitions of pmd_index and pgd_index.

This is mostly a port of dbf62d5006 ("ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID
for page table entries") and 26ffd0d43b ("ARM: mm: introduce present,
faulting entries for PAGE_NONE") from ARM, which makes use of present,
faulting page table entries for page table entries mapped as PROT_NONE.
The main difference with this implementation is that we can make use of
the two pte type bits in order to avoid allocating a software bit for
identifying PROT_NONE pages, instead reserving the 10b suffix for these
types of mappings.
This is required to prevent users from accessing such pages via syscalls
such as read/write over a pipe.

Marking non-present ptes as read-only can corrupt file ptes, breaking
things like swap and file mappings.
This patch ensures that we only manipulate user pte bits when the pte
is marked present.

On AArch64, the meaning of the XN bit has changed to UXN (user). The PXN
(privileged) bit must be set to prevent kernel execution. Without the
PXN bit set, the CPU may speculatively access device memory. This patch
ensures that all the mappings that the kernel must not execute from
(including user mappings) have the PXN bit set.

The virtual memory layout is described in
Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for
the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is
2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration.
PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no
run-time code patching at this stage).
On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are
512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping.
Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration
and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space
beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an
additional level of translation tables.
The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and
allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.
