xen: unexport __init-annotated xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages()

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.

modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.

Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this
showed up in linux-next builds.

There are two ways to fix it:

- Remove __init
- Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL

I chose the latter for this case because none of the in-tree call-sites
(arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c, arch/x86/xen/grant-table.c) is compiled as
modular.

xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated memory

To be used in order to create foreign mappings. This is based on the
ZONE_DEVICE facility which is used by persistent memory devices in
order to create struct pages and kernel virtual mappings for the IOMEM
areas of such devices. Note that on kernels without support for
ZONE_DEVICE Xen will fallback to use ballooned pages in order to
create foreign mappings.

The newly added helpers use the same parameters as the existing
{alloc/free}_xenballooned_pages functions, which allows for in-place
replacement of the callers. Once a memory region has been added to be
used as scratch mapping space it will no longer be released, and pages
returned are kept in a linked list. This allows to have a buffer of
pages and prevents resorting to frequent additions and removals of
regions.

If enabled (because ZONE_DEVICE is supported) the usage of the new
functionality untangles Xen balloon and RAM hotplug from the usage of
unpopulated physical memory ranges to map foreign pages, which is the
correct thing to do in order to avoid mappings of foreign pages depend
on memory hotplug.

Note the driver is currently not enabled on Arm platforms because it
would interfere with the identity mapping required on some platforms.

xen: avoid link error on ARM

Building the privcmd code as a loadable module on ARM, we get
a link error due to the private cache management functions:

ERROR: "__sync_icache_dcache" [drivers/xen/xen-privcmd.ko] undefined!

Move the code into a new that is always built in when Xen is enabled,
as suggested by Juergen Gross and Boris Ostrovsky.

mm/pgtable: drop pgtable_t variable from pte_fn_t functions

Drop the pgtable_t variable from all implementation for pte_fn_t as none
of them use it. apply_to_pte_range() should stop computing it as well.
Should help us save some cycles.

Xen: xlate: Use page_to_xen_pfn instead of page_to_pfn

Make xen_xlate_map_ballooned_pages work with 64K pages. In that case
Kernel pages are 64K in size but Xen pages remain 4K in size. Xen pfns
refer to 4K pages.

xen/privcmd: Add support for Linux 64KB page granularity

The hypercall interface (as well as the toolstack) is always using 4KB
page granularity. When the toolstack is asking for mapping a series of
guest PFN in a batch, it expects to have the page map contiguously in
its virtual memory.

When Linux is using 64KB page granularity, the privcmd driver will have
to map multiple Xen PFN in a single Linux page.

Note that this solution works on page granularity which is a multiple of
4KB.

xen/privcmd: Further s/MFN/GFN/ clean-up

The privcmd code is mixing the usage of GFN and MFN within the same
functions which make the code difficult to understand when you only work
with auto-translated guests.

The privcmd driver is only dealing with GFN so replace all the mention
of MFN into GFN.

The ioctl structure used to map foreign change has been left unchanged
given that the userspace is using it. Nonetheless, add a comment to
explain the expected value within the "mfn" field.

xen/privcmd: improve performance of MMAPBATCH_V2

Make the IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_V2 (and older V1 version) map
multiple frames at a time rather than one at a time, despite the pages
being non-consecutive GFNs.

xen_remap_foreign_mfn_array() is added which maps an array of GFNs
(instead of a consecutive range of GFNs).

Since per-frame errors are returned in an array, privcmd must set the
MMAPBATCH_V1 error bits as part of the "report errors" phase, after
all the frames are mapped.

Migrate times are significantly improved (when using a PV toolstack
domain). For example, for an idle 12 GiB PV guest:

Before After
real 0m38.179s 0m26.868s
user 0m15.096s 0m13.652s
sys 0m28.988s 0m18.732s

xen: unify foreign GFN map/unmap for auto-xlated physmap guests

Auto-translated physmap guests (arm, arm64 and x86 PVHVM/PVH) map and
unmap foreign GFNs using the same method (updating the physmap).
Unify the two arm and x86 implementations into one commont one.

Note that on arm and arm64, the correct error code will be returned
(instead of always -EFAULT) and map/unmap failure warnings are no
longer printed. These changes are required if the foreign domain is
paging (-ENOENT failures are expected and must be propagated up to the
caller).
