Ganapatrao reported that the kvm_pgtable->mmu pointer is more or
less hardcoded to the main S2 mmu structure, while the nested
code needs it to point to other instances (as we have one instance
per nested context).
Rework the initialisation of the kvm_pgtable structure so that
this assumtion doesn't hold true anymore. This requires some
minor changes to the order in which things are initialised
(the mmu->arch pointer being the critical one).

Much of the stage-2 manipulation logic relies on being able to destroy
block mappings if e.g. installing a smaller mapping in the range. The
rationale for this behaviour is that stage-2 mappings can always be
re-created lazily. However, this gets more complicated when the stage-2
page-table is used to store metadata about the underlying pages. In such
cases, destroying a block mapping may lead to losing part of the state,
and confuse the user of those metadata (such as the hypervisor in nVHE
protected mode).
To avoid this, introduce a callback function in the pgtable struct which
is called during all map operations to determine whether the mappings
can use blocks, or should be forced to page granularity. This is used by
the hypervisor when creating the host stage-2 to force page-level
mappings when using non-default protection attributes.

The kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range() function is used in the host memory
abort path to try and look for the largest block mapping that can be
used to map the faulting address. In order to do so, the function
currently walks the stage-2 page-table and looks for existing
incompatible mappings within the range of the largest possible block.
If incompatible mappings are found, it tries the same procedure again,
but using a smaller block range, and repeats until a matching range is
found (potentially up to page granularity). While this approach has
benefits (mostly in the fact that it proactively coalesces host stage-2
mappings), it can be slow if the ranges are fragmented, and it isn't
optimized to deal with CPUs faulting on the same IPA as all of them will
do all the work every time.
To avoid these issues, remove kvm_pgtable_stage2_find_range(), and walk
the page-table only once in the host_mem_abort() path to find the
closest leaf to the input address. With this, use the corresponding
range if it is invalid and not owned by another entity. If a valid leaf
is found, return -EAGAIN similar to what is done in the
kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() path to optimize concurrent faults.

The KVM pgtable API exposes the kvm_pgtable_walk() function to allow
the definition of walkers outside of pgtable.c. However, it is not easy
to implement any of those walkers without some of the low-level helpers.
Move some of them to the header file to allow re-use from other places.

Since the host stage 2 will be identity mapped, and since it will own
most of memory, it would preferable for performance to try and use large
block mappings whenever that is possible. To ease this, introduce a new
helper in the KVM page-table code which allows to search for large
ranges of available IPA space. This will be used in the host memory
abort path to greedily idmap large portion of the PA space.

As the host stage 2 will be identity mapped, all the .hyp memory regions
and/or memory pages donated to protected guestis will have to marked
invalid in the host stage 2 page-table. At the same time, the hypervisor
will need a way to track the ownership of each physical page to ensure
memory sharing or donation between entities (host, guests, hypervisor) is
legal.
In order to enable this tracking at EL2, let's use the host stage 2
page-table itself. The idea is to use the top bits of invalid mappings
to store the unique identifier of the page owner. The page-table owner
(the host) gets identifier 0 such that, at boot time, it owns the entire
IPA space as the pgd starts zeroed.
Provide kvm_pgtable_stage2_set_owner() which allows to modify the
ownership of pages in the host stage 2. It re-uses most of the map()
logic, but ends up creating invalid mappings instead. This impacts
how we do refcount as we now need to count invalid mappings when they
are used for ownership tracking.

The current stage2 page-table allocator uses a memcache to get
pre-allocated pages when it needs any. To allow re-using this code at
EL2 which uses a concept of memory pools, make the memcache argument of
kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() anonymous, and let the mm_ops zalloc_page()
callbacks use it the way they need to.

When memory protection is enabled, the EL2 code needs the ability to
create and manage its own page-table. To do so, introduce a new set of
hypercalls to bootstrap a memory management system at EL2.
This leads to the following boot flow in nVHE Protected mode:
1. the host allocates memory for the hypervisor very early on, using
the memblock API;
2. the host creates a set of stage 1 page-table for EL2, installs the
EL2 vectors, and issues the __pkvm_init hypercall;
3. during __pkvm_init, the hypervisor re-creates its stage 1 page-table
and stores it in the memory pool provided by the host;
4. the hypervisor then extends its stage 1 mappings to include a
vmemmap in the EL2 VA space, hence allowing to use the buddy
allocator introduced in a previous patch;
5. the hypervisor jumps back in the idmap page, switches from the
host-provided page-table to the new one, and wraps up its
initialization by enabling the new allocator, before returning to
the host.
6. the host can free the now unused page-table created for EL2, and
will now need to issue hypercalls to make changes to the EL2 stage 1
mappings instead of modifying them directly.
Note that for the sake of simplifying the review, this patch focuses on
the hypervisor side of things. In other words, this only implements the
new hypercalls, but does not make use of them from the host yet. The
host-side changes will follow in a subsequent patch.

(1) During running time of a a VM with numbers of vCPUs, if some vCPUs
access the same GPA almost at the same time and the stage-2 mapping of
the GPA has not been built yet, as a result they will all cause
translation faults. The first vCPU builds the mapping, and the followed
ones end up updating the valid leaf PTE. Note that these vCPUs might
want different access permissions (RO, RW, RX, RWX, etc.).
(2) It's inevitable that we sometimes will update an existing valid leaf
PTE in the map path, and we perform break-before-make in this case.
Then more unnecessary translation faults could be caused if the
*break stage* of BBM is just catched by other vCPUS.
With (1) and (2), something unsatisfactory could happen: vCPU A causes
a translation fault and builds the mapping with RW permissions, vCPU B
then update the valid leaf PTE with break-before-make and permissions
are updated back to RO. Besides, *break stage* of BBM may trigger more
translation faults. Finally, some useless small loops could occur.
We can make some optimization to solve above problems: When we need to
update a valid leaf PTE in the map path, let's filter out the case where
this update only change access permissions, and don't update the valid
leaf PTE here in this case. Instead, let the vCPU enter back the guest
and it will exit next time to go through the relax_perms path without
break-before-make if it still wants more permissions.

The KVM page-table code is intricately tied into the kernel page-table
code and re-uses the pte/pmd/pud/p4d/pgd macros directly in an attempt
to reduce code duplication. Unfortunately, the reality is that there is
an awful lot of code required to make this work, and at the end of the
day you're limited to creating page-tables with the same configuration
as the host kernel. Furthermore, lifting the page-table code to run
directly at EL2 on a non-VHE system (as we plan to to do in future
patches) is practically impossible due to the number of dependencies it
has on the core kernel.
Introduce a framework for walking Armv8 page-tables configured
independently from the host kernel.
