arch: define CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_*KB on all architectures

Most architectures only support a single hardcoded page size. In order
to ensure that each one of these sets the corresponding Kconfig symbols,
change over the PAGE_SHIFT definition to the common one and allow
only the hardware page size to be selected.

ARM: mm: Make virt_to_pfn() a static inline

Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.

Doing this is a bit intrusive: virt_to_pfn() requires
PHYS_PFN_OFFSET and PAGE_SHIFT to be defined, and this is defined in
<asm/page.h>, so this must be included *before* <asm/memory.h>.

The use of macros were obscuring the unclear inclusion order here,
as the macros would eventually be resolved, but a static inline
like this cannot be compiled with unresolved macros.

The naive solution to include <asm/page.h> at the top of
<asm/memory.h> does not work, because <asm/memory.h> sometimes
includes <asm/page.h> at the end of itself, which would create a
confusing inclusion loop. So instead, take the approach to always
unconditionally include <asm/page.h> at the end of <asm/memory.h>

arch/arm uses <asm/memory.h> explicitly in a lot of places,
however it turns out that if we just unconditionally include
<asm/memory.h> into <asm/page.h> and switch all inclusions of
<asm/memory.h> to <asm/page.h> instead, we enforce the right
order and <asm/memory.h> will always have access to the
definitions.

Put an inclusion guard in place making it impossible to include
<asm/memory.h> explicitly.

ARM: 9305/1: add clear/copy_user_highpage declarations

The CPU specific helpers have to be global functions when building
a kernel for just one CPU, but are called through indirect function
pointers in a multi-CPU kernel. This config currently lacks the
declarations for the individual helpers, e.g.:

arch/arm/mm/copypage-v4wb.c:65:6: error: no previous prototype for 'v4wb_clear_user_highpage' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

building iwth -Wmissing-prototypes.

arm: include asm-generic/memory_model.h from page.h rather than memory.h

Patch series "mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for
FLATMEM", v2.

Every architecture that supports FLATMEM memory model defines its own
version of pfn_valid() that essentially compares a pfn to max_mapnr.

Use mips/powerpc version implemented as static inline as a generic
implementation of pfn_valid() and drop its per-architecture definitions


This patch (of 4):

Makes it consistent with other architectures and allows for generic
definition of pfn_valid() in asm-generic/memory_model.h with clear
override in arch/arm/include/asm/page.h

ARM: mm: make vmalloc_seq handling SMP safe

Rework the vmalloc_seq handling so it can be used safely under SMP, as
we started using it to ensure that vmap'ed stacks are guaranteed to be
mapped by the active mm before switching to a task, and here we need to
ensure that changes to the page tables are visible to other CPUs when
they observe a change in the sequence count.

Since LPAE needs none of this, fold a check against it into the
vmalloc_seq counter check after breaking it out into a separate static
inline helper.

Given that vmap'ed stacks are now also supported on !SMP configurations,
let's drop the WARN() that could potentially now fire spuriously.

ARM: implement support for vmap'ed stacks

Wire up the generic support for managing task stack allocations via vmalloc,
and implement the entry code that detects whether we faulted because of a
stack overrun (or future stack overrun caused by pushing the pt_regs array)

While this adds a fair amount of tricky entry asm code, it should be
noted that it only adds a TST + branch to the svc_entry path. The code
implementing the non-trivial handling of the overflow stack is emitted
out-of-line into the .text section.

Since on ARM, we rely on do_translation_fault() to keep PMD level page
table entries that cover the vmalloc region up to date, we need to
ensure that we don't hit such a stale PMD entry when accessing the
stack. So we do a dummy read from the new stack while still running from
the old one on the context switch path, and bump the vmalloc_seq counter
when PMD level entries in the vmalloc range are modified, so that the MM
switch fetches the latest version of the entries.

Note that we need to increase the per-mode stack by 1 word, to gain some
space to stash a GPR until we know it is safe to touch the stack.
However, due to the cacheline alignment of the struct, this does not
actually increase the memory footprint of the struct stack array at all.

This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the

ARM: 6913/1: sparsemem: allow pfn_valid to be overridden when using SPARSEMEM

In commit eb33575c ("[ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a
memmap has unexpected holes V2"), a new function, memmap_valid_within,
was introduced to mmzone.h so that holes in the memmap which pass
pfn_valid in SPARSEMEM configurations can be detected and avoided.

The fix to this problem checks that the pfn <-> page linkages are
correct by calculating the page for the pfn and then checking that
page_to_pfn on that page returns the original pfn. Unfortunately, in
SPARSEMEM configurations, this results in reading from the page flags to
determine the correct section. Since the memmap here has been freed,
junk is read from memory and the check is no longer robust.

In the best case, reading from /proc/pagetypeinfo will give you the
wrong answer. In the worst case, you get SEGVs, Kernel OOPses and hung
CPUs. Furthermore, ioremap implementations that use pfn_valid to
disallow the remapping of normal memory will break.

This patch allows architectures to provide their own pfn_valid function
instead of using the default implementation used by sparsemem. The
architecture-specific version is aware of the memmap state and will
return false when passed a pfn for a freed page within a valid section.

ARM: Fix pfn_valid() for sparse memory

On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory
between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole
in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However,
they want to be able to mmap() the hole.

This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that
there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making
pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is
contained within the meminfo array.
