[PATCH] kvm: arm64: Enable hardware updates of the Access Flag for Stage 2 page tables

The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for hardware
updates of the access and dirty information in page table entries. With
VTCR_EL2.HA enabled (bit 21), when the CPU accesses an IPA with the
PTE_AF bit cleared in the stage 2 page table, instead of raising an
Access Flag fault to EL2 the CPU sets the actual page table entry bit
(10). To ensure that kernel modifications to the page table do not
inadvertently revert a bit set by hardware updates, certain Stage 2
software pte/pmd operations must be performed atomically.
The main user of the AF bit is the kvm_age_hva() mechanism. The
kvm_age_hva_handler() function performs a "test and clear young" action
on the pte/pmd. This needs to be atomic in respect of automatic hardware
updates of the AF bit. Since the AF bit is in the same position for both
Stage 1 and Stage 2, the patch reuses the existing
ptep_test_and_clear_young() functionality if
__HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG is defined. Otherwise, the
existing pte_young/pte_mkold mechanism is preserved.
The kvm_set_s2pte_readonly() (and the corresponding pmd equivalent) have
to perform atomic modifications in order to avoid a race with updates of
the AF bit. The arm64 implementation has been re-written using
exclusives.
Currently, kvm_set_s2pte_writable() (and pmd equivalent) take a pointer
argument and modify the pte/pmd in place. However, these functions are
only used on local variables rather than actual page table entries, so
it makes more sense to follow the pte_mkwrite() approach for stage 1
attributes. The change to kvm_s2pte_mkwrite() makes it clear that these
functions do not modify the actual page table entries.
The (pte|pmd)_mkyoung() uses on Stage 2 entries (setting the AF bit
explicitly) do not need to be modified since hardware updates of the
dirty status are not supported by KVM, so there is no possibility of
losing such information.

After some digging through the KVM code, I concluded that hardware DBM
(dirty bit management) support is not feasible for Stage 2. A potential
user would be dirty logging but this requires a different bitmap exposed
to Qemu and, to avoid races, the stage 2 mappings need to be mapped
read-only on clean, writable on fault. This assumption simplifies the
hardware Stage 2 AF support.
Tested on a model with handle_access_fault() no longer being called when
the hardware AF is present and enabled. It needs swap enabling and light
memory pressure to trigger the page aging.
