<title>ARM: 8579/1: mm: Fix definition of pmd_mknotpresent</title>

Currently pmd_mknotpresent will use a zero entry to respresent an
invalidated pmd.

Unfortunately this definition clashes with pmd_none, thus it is
possible for a race condition to occur if zap_pmd_range sees pmd_none
whilst __split_huge_pmd_locked is running too with pmdp_invalidate
just called.

This patch fixes the race condition by modifying pmd_mknotpresent to
create non-zero faulting entries (as is done in other architectures),
removing the ambiguity with pmd_none.

<title>ARM: 8578/1: mm: ensure pmd_present only checks the valid bit</title>

<content type='text'>
In a subsequent patch, pmd_mknotpresent will clear the valid bit of the
pmd entry, resulting in a not-present entry from the hardware's
perspective. Unfortunately, pmd_present simply checks for a non-zero pmd
value and will therefore continue to return true even after a
pmd_mknotpresent operation. Since pmd_mknotpresent is only used for
managing huge entries, this is only an issue for the 3-level case.

This patch fixes the 3-level pmd_present implementation to take into
account the valid bit. For bisectability, the change is made before the
fix to pmd_mknotpresent.

When modifying the active state of an interrupt via the MMIO interface,
we should ensure that the write has the intended effect.

If a guest sets an interrupt to active, but that interrupt is already
flushed into a list register on a running VCPU, then that VCPU will
write the active state back into the struct vgic_irq upon returning from
the guest and syncing its state.  This is a non-benign race, because the
guest can observe that an interrupt is not active, and it can have a
reasonable expectations that other VCPUs will not ack any IRQs, and then
set the state to active, and expect it to stay that way.  Currently we
are not honoring this case.

Thefore, change both the SACTIVE and CACTIVE mmio handlers to stop the
world, change the irq state, potentially queue the irq if we're setting
it to active, and then continue.

We take this chance to slightly optimize these functions by not stopping
the world when touching private interrupts where there is inherently no
possible race.

<title>arch: fix has_transparent_hugepage()</title>

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).

Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).
