commit 36e5cd6b897e17d03008f81e075625d8e43e52d0 upstream.

Commit dfd55ad85e4a ("arm64: vmemmap: use virtual projection of linear
region") fixed an issue where the struct page array would overflow into the
adjacent virtual memory region if system RAM was placed so high up in
physical memory that its addresses were not representable in the build time
configured virtual address size.

However, the fix failed to take into account that the vmemmap region needs
to be relatively aligned with respect to the sparsemem section size, so that
a sequence of page structs corresponding with a sparsemem section in the
linear region appears naturally aligned in the vmemmap region.

So round up vmemmap to sparsemem section size. Since this essentially moves
the projection of the linear region up in memory, also revert the reduction
of the size of the vmemmap region.

commit dfd55ad85e4a7fbaa82df12467515ac3c81e8a3e upstream.

Commit dd006da21646 ("arm64: mm: increase VA range of identity map") made
some changes to the memory mapping code to allow physical memory to reside
at an offset that exceeds the size of the virtual mapping.

However, since the size of the vmemmap area is proportional to the size of
the VA area, but it is populated relative to the physical space, we may
end up with the struct page array being mapped outside of the vmemmap
region. For instance, on my Seattle A0 box, I can see the following output
in the dmesg log.

   vmemmap : 0xffffffbdc0000000 - 0xffffffbfc0000000   (     8 GB maximum)
             0xffffffbfc0000000 - 0xffffffbfd0000000   (   256 MB actual)

We can fix this by deciding that the vmemmap region is not a projection of
the physical space, but of the virtual space above PAGE_OFFSET, i.e., the
linear region. This way, we are guaranteed that the vmemmap region is of
sufficient size, and we can even reduce the size by half.

Currently the BUG_ON() checks do not give enough information about the
PTEs being set. This patch changes BUG_ON to WARN_ONCE and dumps the
values of the old and new PTEs. In addition, the checks are only made if
the new PTE entry is valid.

<title>arm64: KVM: Correctly handle zero register during MMIO</title>

On ARM64 register index of 31 corresponds to both zero register and SP.
However, all memory access instructions, use ZR as transfer register. SP
is used only as a base register in indirect memory addressing, or by
register-register arithmetics, which cannot be trapped here.

Correct emulation is achieved by introducing new register accessor
functions, which can do special handling for reg_num == 31. These new
accessors intentionally do not rely on old vcpu_reg() on ARM64, because
it is to be removed. Since the affected code is shared by both ARM
flavours, implementations of these accessors are also added to ARM32 code.

This patch fixes setting MMIO register to a random value (actually SP)
instead of zero by something like:

 *((volatile int *)reg) = 0;

compilers tend to generate "str wzr, [xx]" here
