kvm: arm64: Get rid of fake page table levels
On arm64, the hardware supports concatenation of upto 16 tables,
at entry level for stage2 translations and we make use that whenever
possible. This could lead to reduced number of translation levels than
the normal (stage1 table) table. Also, since the IPA(40bit) is smaller
than the some of the supported VA_BITS (e.g, 48bit), there could be
different number of levels in stage-1 vs stage-2 tables. To reuse the
kernel host page table walker for stage2 we have been using a fake
software page table level, not known to the hardware. But with 16K
translations, there could be upto 2 fake software levels (with 48bit VA
and 40bit IPA), which complicates the code. Hence, we want to get rid of
the hack.
Now that we have explicit accessors for hyp vs stage2 page tables,
define the stage2 walker helpers accordingly based on the actual
table used by the hardware.
Once we know the number of translation levels used by the hardware,
it is merely a job of defining the helpers based on whether a
particular level is folded or not, looking at the number of levels.
Some facts before we calculate the translation levels:
1) Smallest page size supported by arm64 is 4K.
2) The minimum number of bits resolved at any page table level
is (PAGE_SHIFT - 3) at intermediate levels.
Both of them implies, minimum number of bits required for a level
change is 9.
Since we can concatenate upto 16 tables at stage2 entry, the total
number of page table levels used by the hardware for resolving N bits
is same as that for (N - 4) bits (with concatenation), as there cannot
be a level in between (N, N-4) as per the above rules.
Hence, we have
STAGE2_PGTABLE_LEVELS = PGTABLE_LEVELS(KVM_PHYS_SHIFT - 4)
With the current IPA limit (40bit), for all supported translations
and VA_BITS, we have the following condition (even for 36bit VA with
16K page size):
CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS >= STAGE2_PGTABLE_LEVELS.
So, for e.g, if PUD is present in stage2, it is present in the hyp(host).
Hence, we fall back to the host definition if we find that a level is not
folded. Otherwise we redefine it accordingly. A build time check is added
to make sure the above condition holds. If this condition breaks in future,
we can rearrange the host level helpers and fix our code easily.
