[PATCH RFC PKS/PMEM 03/58] memremap: Add zone device access protection

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny at intel.com>

Device managed memory exposes itself to the kernel direct map which
allows stray pointers to access these device memories.

Stray pointers to normal memory may result in a crash or other
undesirable behavior which, while unfortunate, are usually recoverable
with a reboot.  Stray access, specifically stray writes, to areas such
as non-volatile memory are permanent in nature and thus are more likely
to result in permanent user data loss vs stray access to other memory
areas.

Furthermore, we protect against reads which can help with speculative
reads to poison areas as well.  But this is a secondary reason.

Set up an infrastructure for extra device access protection. Then
implement the new protection using the new Protection Keys Supervisor
(PKS) on architectures which support it.

To enable this extra protection devices specify a flag in the pgmap to
indicate that these areas wish to use additional protection.

Kernel code which intends to access this memory can do so automatically
through the use of the kmap infrastructure calling into
dev_access_[enable|disable]() described here.  The kmap infrastructure
is implemented in a follow on patch.

In addition, users can directly enable/disable the access through
dev_access_[enable|disable]() if they have a priori knowledge of the
type of pages they are accessing.

All calls to enable/disable protection flow through
dev_access_[enable|disable]() and are nestable by the use of a per task
reference count.  This reference count does 2 things.

1) Allows a thread to nest calls to disable protection such that the
   first call to re-enable protection does not 'break' the last access of
   the pmem device memory.

2) Provides faster performance by avoiding lots of MSR writes.  For
   example, looping over a sequence of pmem pages.

In addition, we must ensure the reference count is preserved through an
exception so we add the count to irqentry_state_t and save/restore the
reference count while giving exceptions their own count should they use
a kmap call.

The following shows how this works through an exception:

    ...
            // ref == 0
            dev_access_enable()  // ref += 1 ==> disable protection
                    irq()
                            // enable protection
                            // ref = 0
                            _handler()
                                    dev_access_enable()   // ref += 1 ==> disable protection
                                    dev_access_disable()  // ref -= 1 ==> enable protection
                            // WARN_ON(ref != 0)
                            // disable protection
            do_pmem_thing()  // all good here
            dev_access_disable() // ref -= 1 ==> 0 ==> enable protection
    ...

Nested exceptions operate the same way with each exception storing the
interrupted exception state all the way down.

The pkey value is never free'ed as this optimizes the implementation to
be either on or off using a static branch conditional in the fast paths.
