Revert "x86/mm/64: Do not sync vmalloc/ioremap mappings"

This reverts commit 8bb9bf242d1fee925636353807c511d54fde8986.

It seems the vmalloc page tables aren't always preallocated in all
situations, because Jason Donenfeld reports an oops with this commit:

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe8ffffd00608
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

CR2: ffffe8ffffd00608

and that page fault address is right in that vmalloc space, and we
clearly don't have a PGD/P4D entry for it.

Looking at the "Code:" line, the actual fault seems to come from the
'pwq->wq' dereference at the top of the process_one_work() function:

struct pool_workqueue *pwq = get_work_pwq(work);
struct worker_pool *pool = worker->pool;
bool cpu_intensive = pwq->wq->flags & WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE;

so 'struct pool_workqueue *pwq' is the allocation that hasn't been
synchronized across CPUs.

Just revert for now, while Joerg figures out the cause.

x86/mm: Fix guard hole handling

There is a guard hole at the beginning of the kernel address space, also
used by hypervisors. It occupies 16 PGD entries.

This reserved range is not defined explicitely, it is calculated relative
to other entities: direct mapping and user space ranges.

The calculation got broken by recent changes of the kernel memory layout:
LDT remap range is now mapped before direct mapping and makes the
calculation invalid.

The breakage leads to crash on Xen dom0 boot[1].

Define the reserved range explicitely. It's part of kernel ABI (hypervisors
expect it to be stable) and must not depend on changes in the rest of
kernel memory layout.

x86/mm: Move LDT remap out of KASLR region on 5-level paging

On 5-level paging the LDT remap area is placed in the middle of the KASLR
randomization region and it can overlap with the direct mapping, the
vmalloc or the vmap area.

The LDT mapping is per mm, so it cannot be moved into the P4D page table
next to the CPU_ENTRY_AREA without complicating PGD table allocation for
5-level paging.

The 4 PGD slot gap just before the direct mapping is reserved for
hypervisors, so it cannot be used.

Move the direct mapping one slot deeper and use the resulting gap for the
LDT remap area. The resulting layout is the same for 4 and 5 level paging.

We cannot literally define it as a function due to circular dependencies

x86/mm: Unify pgtable_l5_enabled usage in early boot code

Usually pgtable_l5_enabled is defined using cpu_feature_enabled().
cpu_feature_enabled() is not available in early boot code. We use
several different preprocessor tricks to get around it. It's messy.

Unify them all.

If cpu_feature_enabled() is not yet available, USE_EARLY_PGTABLE_L5 can
be defined before all includes. It makes pgtable_l5_enabled rely on
__pgtable_l5_enabled variable instead. This approach fits all early
users.

The patch tries to fix the performance regression by using
cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_LA57) instead of pgtable_l5_enabled in
all hot code paths. These will statically patch the target code for
additional performance.

x86/mm: Make MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS dynamic

For boot-time switching between paging modes, we need to be able to
adjust size of physical address space at runtime.

As part of making physical address space size variable, we have to make
X86_5LEVEL dependent on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. !SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
configuration doesn't build with variable MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

For !SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP SECTIONS_WIDTH depends on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS:

SECTIONS_WIDTH
SECTIONS_SHIFT
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS

And SECTIONS_WIDTH is used on pre-processor stage, it doesn't work if it's
dyncamic. See include/linux/page-flags-layout.h.

Effect on kernel image size:

x86/kaslr: Fix the vaddr_end mess

vaddr_end for KASLR is only documented in the KASLR code itself and is
adjusted depending on config options. So it's not surprising that a change
of the memory layout causes KASLR to have the wrong vaddr_end. This can map
arbitrary stuff into other areas causing hard to understand problems.

Remove the whole ifdef magic and define the start of the cpu_entry_area to
be the end of the KASLR vaddr range.

Add documentation to that effect.

x86/mm: Set MODULES_END to 0xffffffffff000000

x86/mm: Set MODULES_END to 0xffffffffff000000

Since f06bdd4001c2 ("x86/mm: Adapt MODULES_END based on fixmap section size")
kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) could be not aligned to a page boundary.

So passing page unaligned address to kasan_populate_zero_shadow() have two
possible effects:

1) It may leave one page hole in supposed to be populated area. After commit
21506525fb8d ("x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area") that
hole happens to be in the shadow covering fixmap area and leads to crash:

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffbffffe8ee04
RIP: 0010:check_memory_region+0x5c/0x190

Call Trace:
<NMI>
memcpy+0x1f/0x50

default_do_nmi+0x57/0x110
do_nmi+0xf8/0x150
end_repeat_nmi+0x1a/0x1e

Note, the crash likely disappeared after commit 92a0f81d8957, which
changed kasan_populate_zero_shadow() call the way it was before
commit 21506525fb8d.

2) Attempt to load module near MODULES_END will fail, because
__vmalloc_node_range() called from kasan_module_alloc() will hit the
WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte)) in the vmap_pte_range() and bail out with error.

To fix this we need to make kasan_mem_to_shadow(MODULES_END) page aligned
which means that MODULES_END should be 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned.

The whole point of commit f06bdd4001c2 was to move MODULES_END down if
NR_CPUS is big, so the cpu_entry_area takes a lot of space.
But since 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the fixmap")
the cpu_entry_area is no longer in fixmap, so we could just set
MODULES_END to a fixed 8*PAGE_SIZE aligned address.

x86/pti: Put the LDT in its own PGD if PTI is on

With PTI enabled, the LDT must be mapped in the usermode tables somewhere.
The LDT is per process, i.e. per mm.

An earlier approach mapped the LDT on context switch into a fixmap area,
but that's a big overhead and exhausted the fixmap space when NR_CPUS got
big.

Take advantage of the fact that there is an address space hole which
provides a completely unused pgd. Use this pgd to manage per-mm LDT
mappings.

This has a down side: the LDT isn't (currently) randomized, and an attack
that can write the LDT is instant root due to call gates (thanks, AMD, for
leaving call gates in AMD64 but designing them wrong so they're only useful
for exploits). This can be mitigated by making the LDT read-only or
randomizing the mapping, either of which is strightforward on top of this
patch.

This will significantly slow down LDT users, but that shouldn't matter for
important workloads -- the LDT is only used by DOSEMU(2), Wine, and very
old libc implementations.
