arm64: mm: create new fine-grained mappings at boot
At boot we may change the granularity of the tables mapping the kernel (by splitting or making sections). This may happen when we create the linear mapping (in __map_memblock), or at any point we try to apply fine-grained permissions to the kernel (e.g. fixup_executable, mark_rodata_ro, fixup_init). Changing the active page tables in this manner may result in multiple entries for the same address being allocated into TLBs, risking problems such as TLB conflict aborts or issues derived from the amalgamation of TLB entries. Generally, a break-before-make (BBM) approach is necessary to avoid conflicts, but we cannot do this for the kernel tables as it risks unmapping text or data being used to do so. Instead, we can create a new set of tables from scratch in the safety of the existing mappings, and subsequently migrate over to these using the new cpu_replace_ttbr1 helper, which avoids the two sets of tables being active simultaneously. To avoid issues when we later modify permissions of the page tables (e.g. in fixup_init), we must create the page tables at a granularity such that later modification does not result in splitting of tables. This patch applies this strategy, creating a new set of fine-grained page tables from scratch, and safely migrating to them. The existing fixmap and kasan shadow page tables are reused in the new fine-grained tables.
