On arm64, cache maintenance faults appear as data aborts with the CM
bit set in the ESR. The WnR bit, usually used to distinguish between
faulting loads and stores, always reads as 1 and (slightly confusingly)
the instructions are treated as reads by the architecture.
This patch fixes our fault handling code to treat cache maintenance
faults in the same way as loads.

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.

Currently user faults (page, undefined instruction) are always reported
even though the user may have a signal handler for them. This patch adds
unhandled_signal() check together with printk_ratelimit() for these
cases.

ESR.WnR bit is always set on data cache maintenance faults even though
the page is not required to have write permission. If a translation
fault (page not yet mapped) happens for read-only user address range,
Linux incorrectly assumes a permission fault. This patch adds the check
of the ESR.CM bit during the page fault handling to ignore the 'write'
flag.

show_pte makes use of the *_none_or_clear_bad style functions. If a
pgd, pud or pmd is identified as being bad, it will then be cleared.
As show_pte appears to be called from either the user or kernel
fault handlers this side effect can lead to unpredictable behaviour;
especially as TLB entries are not invalidated.
This patch removes the page table sanitisation from show_pte. If a
bad pgd, pud or pmd is encountered it is left unmodified.

For user space faults the kernel reports "unhandled page fault" and it
gives the ESR value. With this patch the error message looked up in the
fault info array to give a better description.

This patch adds support for the handling of the MMU faults (exception
entry code introduced by a previous patch) and page table management.
The user translation table is pointed to by TTBR0 and the kernel one
(swapper_pg_dir) by TTBR1. There is no translation information shared or
address space overlapping between user and kernel page tables.
