commit f5f2025ef3e2cdb593707cbf87378761f17befbe upstream.

Page migration encodes the pfn in the offset field of a swp_entry_t.
For LPAE, we support physical addresses of up to 36 bits (due to
sparsemem limitations with the size of page flags), requiring 24 bits
to represent a pfn. A further 3 bits are used to encode a swp_entry into
a pte, leaving 5 bits for the type field. Furthermore, the core code
defines MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT as 5, so the additional type bit does not
get used.

This patch reduces the width of the type field to 5 bits, allowing us
to create up to 31 swapfiles of 64GB each.

<title>ARM: 7487/1: mm: avoid setting nG bit for user mappings that aren't present</title>

commit 47f1204329237a0f8655f5a9f14a38ac81946ca1 upstream.

Swap entries are encoding in ptes such that !pte_present(pte) and
pte_file(pte). The remaining bits of the descriptor are used to identify
the swapfile and offset within it to the swap entry.

When writing such a pte for a user virtual address, set_pte_at
unconditionally sets the nG bit, which (in the case of LPAE) will
corrupt the swapfile offset and lead to a BUG:

[  140.494067] swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 000763b4
[  140.509989] BUG: Bad page map in process rs:main Q:Reg  pte:0ec76800 pmd:8f92e003

This patch fixes the problem by only setting the nG bit for user
mappings that are actually present.

Add pud_offset() et.al. between the pgd and pmd code in preparation of
using pgtable-nopud.h rather than 4level-fixup.h.

This incorporates a fix from Jamie Iles &lt;jamie@jamieiles.com&gt; for
uaccess_with_memcpy.c.

The unsigned long datatype is not sufficient for mapping physical addresses
&gt;= 4GB.

This patch ensures that the phys_addr_t datatype is used to represent physical
addresses when converting from a PFN.

The hardware page tables use an XN bit 'execute never'.  Historically,
we've had a Linux 'execute allow' bit, in the positive sense.  Get rid
of this artifact as future hardware will continue to have the XN sense.

We have two places where we create identity mappings - one when we bring
secondary CPUs online, and one where we setup some mappings for soft-
reboot.  Combine these two into a single implementation.  Also collect
the identity mapping deletion function.

<title>ARM: pgtable: switch order of Linux vs hardware page tables</title>

This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in
each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page
table walks.  As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning
of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking
it away, along with the other control bits.

This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture.
