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.

We always thought that 40bits of PA range would be the minimum people
would actually build. Anything less is terrifyingly small.
Turns out that we were both right and wrong. Nobody has ever built
such a system, but the ARM Foundation Model has a PARange set to 36bits.
Just because we can. Oh well. Now, the KVM API explicitely says that
we offer a 40bit PA space to the VM, so we shouldn't run KVM on
the Foundation Model at all.
That being said, this patch offers a less agressive alternative, and
loudly warns about the configuration being unsupported. You'll still
be able to run VMs (at your own risks, though).
This is just a workaround until we have a proper userspace API where
we report the PARange to userspace.

When we detect support for 16bit VMID in ID_AA64MMFR1, we set the
VTCR_EL2_VS field to 1 to make use of 16bit vmids. But, with
commit 3a3604bc5e ("arm64: KVM: Switch to C-based stage2 init")
this is broken and we corrupt VTCR_EL2:T0SZ instead of updating the VS
field. VTCR_EL2_VS was actually defined to the field shift (19) and
not the real value for VS. This patch fixes the issue.

In order to be able to move code outside of kvm/hyp, we need to make
the global hyp.h file accessible from a standard location.
include/asm/kvm_hyp.h seems good enough.

There is no real need to leave the stage2 initialization as part
of the early HYP bootstrap, and we can easily postpone it to
the point where we can safely run C code.
This will help VHE, which doesn't need any of this bootstrap.
