Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
an mm. Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
needed in common code. They are:
arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork
arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.
The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.

Normally when running in PAE mode, the 4th PMD maps the kernel address space,
which can be shared among all processes (since they all need the same kernel
mappings).
Xen, however, does not allow guests to have the kernel pmd shared between page
tables, so parameterize pgtable.c to allow both modes of operation.
There are several side-effects of this. One is that vmalloc will update the
kernel address space mappings, and those updates need to be propagated into
all processes if the kernel mappings are not intrinsically shared. In the
non-PAE case, this is done by maintaining a pgd_list of all processes; this
list is used when all process pagetables must be updated. pgd_list is
threaded via otherwise unused entries in the page structure for the pgd, which
means that the pgd must be page-sized for this to work.
Normally the PAE pgd is only 4x64 byte entries large, but Xen requires the PAE
pgd to page aligned anyway, so this patch forces the pgd to be page
aligned+sized when the kernel pmd is unshared, to accomodate both these
requirements.
Also, since there may be several distinct kernel pmds (if the user/kernel
split is below 3G), there's no point in allocating them from a slab cache;
they're just allocated with get_free_page and initialized appropriately. (Of
course the could be cached if there is just a single kernel pmd - which is the
default with a 3G user/kernel split - but it doesn't seem worthwhile to add
yet another case into this code).

This patch introduces paravirt_ops hooks to control how the kernel's
initial pagetable is set up.
In the case of a native boot, the very early bootstrap code creates a
simple non-PAE pagetable to map the kernel and physical memory. When
the VM subsystem is initialized, it creates a proper pagetable which
respects the PAE mode, large pages, etc.
When booting under a hypervisor, there are many possibilities for what
paging environment the hypervisor establishes for the guest kernel, so
the constructon of the kernel's pagetable depends on the hypervisor.
In the case of Xen, the hypervisor boots the kernel with a fully
constructed pagetable, which is already using PAE if necessary. Also,
Xen requires particular care when constructing pagetables to make sure
all pagetables are always mapped read-only.
In order to make this easier, kernel's initial pagetable construction
has been changed to only allocate and initialize a pagetable page if
there's no page already present in the pagetable. This allows the Xen
paravirt backend to make a copy of the hypervisor-provided pagetable,
allowing the kernel to establish any more mappings it needs while
keeping the existing ones.
A slightly subtle point which is worth highlighting here is that Xen
requires all kernel mappings to share the same pte_t pages between all
pagetables, so that updating a kernel page's mapping in one pagetable
is reflected in all other pagetables. This makes it possible to
allocate a page and attach it to a pagetable without having to
explicitly enumerate that page's mapping in all pagetables.
And:
+From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
If we don't set the leaf page table entries it is quite possible that
will inherit and incorrect page table entry from the initial boot
page table setup in head.S. So we need to redo the effort here,
so we pick up PSE, PGE and the like.
Hypervisors like Xen require that their page tables be read-only,
which is slightly incompatible with our low identity mappings, however
I discussed this with Jeremy he has modified the Xen early set_pte
function to avoid problems in this area.

Add a set of accessors to pack, unpack and modify page table entries
(at all levels). This allows a paravirt implementation to control the
contents of pgd/pmd/pte entries. For example, Xen uses this to
convert the (pseudo-)physical address into a machine address when
populating a pagetable entry, and converting back to pphys address
when an entry is read.

Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its
ELF headers matching its mapped address. COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at
a specific system-wide fixed address. Previously this was all done at
build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at
the top of the address space. However, a hypervisor may reserve some
of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down.
This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on
the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap.

On x86-64, kernel memory freed after init can be entirely unmapped instead
of just getting 'poisoned' by overwriting with a debug pattern.
On i386 and x86-64 (under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA), kernel text and bug table
can also be write-protected.
Compared to the first version, this one prevents re-creating deleted
mappings in the kernel image range on x86-64, if those got removed
previously. This, together with the original changes, prevents temporarily
having inconsistent mappings when cacheability attributes are being
changed on such pages (e.g. from AGP code). While on i386 such duplicate
mappings don't exist, the same change is done there, too, both for
consistency and because checking pte_present() before using various other
pte_XXX functions is a requirement anyway. At once, i386 code gets
adjusted to use pte_huge() instead of open coding this.

paravirt.c used to implement native versions of all low-level
functions. Far cleaner is to have the native versions exposed in the
headers and as inline native_XXX, and if !CONFIG_PARAVIRT, then simply
#define XXX native_XXX.
There are several nice side effects:
1) write_dt_entry() now takes the correct "struct Xgt_desc_struct *"
not "void *".
2) load_TLS is reintroduced to the for loop, not manually unrolled
with a #error in case the bounds ever change.
3) Macros become inlines, with type checking.
4) Access to the native versions is trivial for KVM, lguest, Xen and

Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.
__pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
spaces. This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
__pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
the address.
There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
__pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.
Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
__pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one. A little of
it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
instead of recalculating it several times.
swapper_pgd is now NULL. leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd. The
physical address changed.
Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization. So this
should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
kernel.
As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
for anything I missed. But it works for me (tm).

I sent this simple patch to lkml about two weeks ago and also cc'ed
to Linus, but seems that the patch got ignored. I decided to write to
you, because you have modified the relevant file most recently.
Below is a copy of the mail that is also available at

The reboot_fixups stuff seems to be a bit of a mess, specifically the
header is in linux/ when its a purely i386-specific piece of code. I'm
not sure why it has its config option; its only currently needed for
"geode-gx1/cs5530a", so perhaps whatever config option controls that
hardware should enable this?

The kernel only supports gcc 3.2+ now so it doesn't make sense
anymore to explicitely check for options this compiler version
already has.
This actually fixes a bug. The -mprefered-stack-boundary check
never worked because gcc rightly complains
CC arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s
cc1: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12
We just never saw the error because of cc-options.
I changed it to 4 to actually work.
Tested by compiling i386 and x86-64 defconfig with gcc 3.2.
Should speed up the build time a tiny bit and improve
stack usage on i386 slightly.
