Christoffer Dall 342cd0ab0e KVM: ARM: Hypervisor initialization
Sets up KVM code to handle all exceptions taken to Hyp mode.

When the kernel is booted in Hyp mode, calling an hvc instruction with r0
pointing to the new vectors, the HVBAR is changed to the the vector pointers.
This allows subsystems (like KVM here) to execute code in Hyp-mode with the
MMU disabled.

We initialize other Hyp-mode registers and enables the MMU for Hyp-mode from
the id-mapped hyp initialization code. Afterwards, the HVBAR is changed to
point to KVM Hyp vectors used to catch guest faults and to switch to Hyp mode
to perform a world-switch into a KVM guest.

Also provides memory mapping code to map required code pages, data structures,
and I/O regions  accessed in Hyp mode at the same virtual address as the host
kernel virtual addresses, but which conforms to the architectural requirements
for translations in Hyp mode. This interface is added in arch/arm/kvm/arm_mmu.c
and comprises:
 - create_hyp_mappings(from, to);
 - create_hyp_io_mappings(from, to, phys_addr);
 - free_hyp_pmds();

Christoffer Dall 9e9a367c29 ARM: Section based HYP idmap
Add a method (hyp_idmap_setup) to populate a hyp pgd with an
identity mapping of the code contained in the .hyp.idmap.text
section.

Offer a method to drop this identity mapping through
hyp_idmap_teardown.

Make all the above depend on CONFIG_ARM_VIRT_EXT and CONFIG_ARM_LPAE.

Catalin Marinas dcfdae04bd ARM: LPAE: Introduce the 3-level page table format definitions
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.
