s390/pageattr: allow kernel page table splitting
set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw() currently only work on 4k
mappings, which is good enough for module code aka the vmalloc area.
However we stumbled already twice into the need to make this also work
on larger mappings:
- the ro after init patch set
- the crash kernel resize code
Therefore this patch implements automatic kernel page table splitting
if e.g. set_memory_ro() would be called on parts of a 2G mapping.
This works quite the same as the x86 code, but is much simpler.
In order to make this work and to be architecturally compliant we now
always use the csp, cspg or crdte instructions to replace valid page
table entries. This means that set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw()
will be much more expensive than before. In order to avoid huge
latencies the code contains a couple of cond_resched() calls.
The current code only splits page tables, but does not merge them if
it would be possible. The reason for this is that currently there is
no real life scenarion where this would really happen. All current use
cases that I know of only change access rights once during the life
time. If that should change we can still implement kernel page table
merging at a later time.
