[PATCH RFC 4/6] xen/arm: mm: Allow other mapping size in xen_pt_update_entry()



From: Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>

At the moment, xen_pt_update_entry() only supports mapping at level 3
(i.e 4KB mapping). While this is fine for most of the runtime helper,
the boot code will require to use superpage mapping.

We don't want to allow superpage mapping by default as some of the
callers may expect small mappings (i.e populate_pt_range()) or even
expect to unmap only a part of a superpage.

To keep the code simple, a new flag _PAGE_BLOCK is introduced to
allow the caller to enable superpage mapping.

As the code doesn't support all the combinations, xen_pt_check_entry()
is extended to take into account the cases we don't support when
using block mapping:
    - Replacing a table with a mapping. This may happen if region was
    first mapped with 4KB mapping and then later on replaced with a 2MB
    (or 1GB mapping)
    - Removing/modify a table. This may happen if a caller try to remove a
    region with _PAGE_BLOCK set when it was created without it

Note that the current restriction mean that the caller must ensure that
_PAGE_BLOCK is consistently set/cleared across all the updates on a
given virtual region. This ought to be fine with the expected use-cases.

More rework will be necessary if we wanted to remove the restrictions.

Note that nr_mfns is now marked const as it is used for flushing the
TLBs and we don't want it to be modified.

This patch is necessary for upcoming changes in the MM code. I would
like to remove most of the open-coding update of the page-tables as they
are not easy to properly fix/extend. For instance, always mapping
xenheap mapping with 1GB superpage is plain wrong because:
    - RAM regions are not always 1GB aligned (such as on RPI 4) and we
    may end up to map MMIO with cacheable attributes
    - RAM may contain reserved regions should either not be mapped
