The patch adds support for THP (transparent huge pages) to LPAE
systems. When this feature is enabled, the kernel tries to map
anonymous pages as 2MB sections where possible.

For 3 levels of paging the PTE_EXT_NG bit will be set for user
address ptes that are written to a page table but not for ptes
created with mk_pte.

This can cause some comparison tests made by pte_same to fail
spuriously and lead to other problems.

To correct this behaviour, we mask off PTE_EXT_NG for any pte that
is present before running the comparison.

<title>ARM: lpae: fix definition of PTE_HWTABLE_PTRS</title>

For 2-level page tables, PTE_HWTABLE_PTRS describes the offset between
Linux PTEs and hardware PTEs. On LPAE, there is no distinction (since
we have 64-bit descriptors with plenty of space) so PTE_HWTABLE_PTRS
should be 0. Unfortunately, it is wrongly defined as PTRS_PER_PTE,
meaning that current pte table flushing is off by a page. Luckily,
all current LPAE implementations are SMP, so the hardware walker can
snoop L1.

This patch fixes the broken definition.

This patch applies to PAGE_MASK, PMD_MASK, and PGDIR_MASK, where forcing
unsigned long math truncates the mask at the 32-bits.  This clearly does bad
things on PAE systems.

This patch fixes this problem by defining these masks as signed quantities.
We then rely on sign extension to do the right thing.

Looks like our L_PTE_S2_RDWR definition is slightly wrong,
and is actually write only (see ARM ARM Table B3-9, Stage 2 control
of access permissions). Didn't make a difference for normal pages,
as we OR the flags together, but I'm still wondering how it worked
for Stage-2 mapped devices, such as the GIC.

Brown paper bag time, again.

KVM uses the stage-2 page tables and the Hyp page table format,
so we define the fields and page protection flags needed by KVM.

The nomenclature is this:
 - page_hyp:        PL2 code/data mappings
 - page_hyp_device: PL2 device mappings (vgic access)
 - page_s2:         Stage-2 code/data page mappings
 - page_s2_device:  Stage-2 device mappings (vgic access)

PROT_NONE mappings apply the page protection attributes defined by _P000
which translate to PAGE_NONE for ARM. These attributes specify an XN,
RDONLY pte that is inaccessible to userspace. However, on kernels
configured without support for domains, such a pte *is* accessible to
the kernel and can be read via get_user, allowing tasks to read
PROT_NONE pages via syscalls such as read/write over a pipe.

This patch introduces a new software pte flag, L_PTE_NONE, that is set
to identify faulting, present entries.

<content type='text'>
For long-descriptor translation table formats, the ARMv7 architecture
defines the last two bits of the second- and third-level descriptors to
be:

	x0b	- Invalid
	01b	- Block (second-level), Reserved (third-level)
	11b	- Table (second-level), Page (third-level)

This allows us to define L_PTE_PRESENT as (3 &lt;&lt; 0) and use this value to
create ptes directly. However, when determining whether a given pte
value is present in the low-level page table accessors, we only need to
check the least significant bit of the descriptor, allowing us to write
faulting, present entries which are required for PROT_NONE mappings.

This patch introduces L_PTE_VALID, which can be used to test whether a
pte should fault, and updates the low-level page table accessors
accordingly.
