Commit 52f36be0f4e2 's390/pgtable: Fix check for pgste/storage key
handling', which was commit b56433cb782d upstream, added a use of
pgste to ptep_modify_prot_start(), but this variable does not exist.
In mainline, pgste was added by commit d3383632d4e8 's390/mm: add pte
invalidation notifier for kvm' and initialised to the return value of
pgste_get_lock(ptep).  Initialise it similarly here.

Compile-tested only.

commit b56433cb782d1cc7e44fc46d2ce3917fa75d2236 upstream.

pte_present might return true on PAGE_TYPE_NONE, even if
the invalid bit is on. Modify the existing check of the
pgste functions to avoid crashes.

<title>s390: move dummy io_remap_pfn_range() to asm/pgtable.h</title>

Commit b4cbb197c7e7 ("vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function") added
a helper function wrapper around io_remap_pfn_range(), and every other
architecture defined it in &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;.

The s390 choice of &lt;asm/io.h&gt; may make sense, but is not very convenient
for this case, and gratuitous differences like that cause unexpected errors like this:

   mm/memory.c: In function 'vm_iomap_memory':
   mm/memory.c:2439:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'io_remap_pfn_range' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Glory be the kbuild test robot who noticed this, bisected it, and
reported it to the guilty parties (ie me).

All architectures need to provide a check_pgt_cache() function. The s390 one
got lost somewhere.
So reintroduce it to prevent future compile errors e.g. if Thomas Gleixner's
idle loop rework patches get merged.

<title>s390/uaccess: fix page table walk</title>

<content type='text'>
When translating user space addresses to kernel addresses the follow_table()
function had two bugs:

- PROT_NONE mappings could be read accessed via the kernel mapping. That is
  e.g. putting a filename into a user page, then protecting the page with
  PROT_NONE and afterwards issuing the "open" syscall with a pointer to
  the filename would incorrectly succeed.

- when walking the page tables it used the pgd/pud/pmd/pte primitives which
  with dynamic page tables give no indication which real level of page tables
  is being walked (region2, region3, segment or page table). So in case of an
  exception the translation exception code passed to __handle_fault() is not
  necessarily correct.
  This is not really an issue since __handle_fault() doesn't evaluate the code.
  Only in case of e.g. a SIGBUS this code gets passed to user space. If user
  space can do something sane with the value is a different question though.

To fix these issues don't use any Linux primitives. Only walk the page tables
like the hardware would do it, however we leave quite some checks away since
we know that we only have full size page tables and each index is within bounds.

In theory this should fix all issues...
