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.

<title>ARM: LPAE: Introduce the 3-level page table format definitions</title>

<id>dcfdae04bd92e8a2ea155db0e21e3bddc09e0a89</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces the pgtable-3level*.h files with definitions
specific to the LPAE page table format (3 levels of page tables).

Each table is 4KB and has 512 64-bit entries. An entry can point to a
40-bit physical address. The young, write and exec software bits share
the corresponding hardware bits (negated). Other software bits use spare
bits in the PTE.

The patch also changes some variable types from unsigned long or int to
pteval_t or pgprot_t.

The page table maintenance macros need to be duplicated between the
classic and the LPAE MMU so this patch moves those that are not common
to the pgtable-2level.h file.

Nick Piggin noted upon introducing 4level-fixup.h:

| Add a temporary "fallback" header so architectures can run with
| the 4level pagetables patch without modification. All architectures
| should be converted to use the folding headers (include/asm-generic/
| pgtable-nop?d.h) as soon as possible, and the fallback header removed.

This makes ARM compliant with this statement.
