From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

This v7 covers the remaining changes that implement support for LPA2 and
WXN at stage 1, now that some of the prerequisites are in place.

Ryan's KVM series for LPA2 at stage 2 has been merged in the mean time,
so the temporary changes to plug that hole have been dropped.

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230912141549.278777-63-ardb@google.com/
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231124101840.944737-41-ardb@google.com/
v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231129111555.3594833-43-ardb@google.com/

Changes in v7:
- rebase onto v6.8-rc1 which includes some patches of the previous
  revision, and includes the KVM changes for LPA2

The first ~8 patches of this series rework how the kernel VA space is
organized, so that the vmemmap region does not take up more space than
necessary, and so that most of it can be reclaimed when running a build
capable of 52-bit virtual addressing on hardware that is not. This is
needed because the vmemmap region will take up a substantial part of the
upper VA region that it shares with the kernel, modules and
vmalloc/vmap mappings once we enable LPA2 with 4k pages.

The next ~30 patches rework the early init code, reimplementing most of
the page table and relocation handling in C code. There are several
reasons why this is beneficial:
- we generally prefer C code over asm for these things, and the macros
  that currently exist in head.S for creating the kernel pages tables
  are a good example why;
- we no longer need to create the kernel mapping in two passes, which
  means we can remove the logic that copies parts of the fixmap and the
  KAsan shadow from one set of page tables to the other; this is
  especially advantageous for KAsan with LPA2, which needs more
  elaborate shadow handling across multiple levels, since the KAsan
  region cannot be placed on exact pgd_t boundaries in that case;
- we can read the ID registers and parse command line overrides before
  creating the page tables, which simplifies the LPA2 case, as flicking
  the global TCR_EL1.DS bit at a later stage would require elaborate
  repainting of all page table descriptors, some of which with the MMU
  disabled;
- we can use more elaborate logic to create the mappings, which means we
  can use more precise mappings for code and data sections even when
  using 2 MiB granularity, and this is a prerequisite for running with
  WXN.

As part of the ID map changes, we decouple the ID map size from the
kernel VA size, and switch to a 48-bit VA map for all configurations.

The next ~10 patches rework the existing LVA support as a CPU feature,
which simplifies some code and gets rid of the vabits_actual variable.
Then, LPA2 support is implemented in the same vein. This requires adding
support for 5 level paging as well, given that LPA2 introduces a new
paging level '-1' when using 4k pages.

Combined with the vmemmap changes at the start of the series, the
resulting LPA2/4k pages configuration will have the exact same VA space
layout as the ordinary 4k/4 levels configuration, and so LPA2 support
can reasonably be enabled by default, as the fallback is seamless on
non-LPA2 hardware.

In the 16k/LPA2 case, the fallback also reduces the number of paging
levels, resulting in a 47-bit VA space. This is based on the assumption
that hybrid LPA2/non-LPA2 16k pages kernels in production use would
prefer not to take the performance hit of 4 level paging to gain only a
single additional bit of VA space. (Note that generic Android kernels
use only 3 levels of paging today.) Bespoke 16k configurations can still
configure 48-bit virtual addressing as before.

Finally, enable support for running with the WXN control enabled. This
was previously part of a separate series, but given that the delta is
tiny, it is included here as well.
