[S390] fix tlb flushing for page table pages
Git commit 36409f6353fc2d7b6516e631415f938eadd92ffa "use generic RCU
page-table freeing code" introduced a tlb flushing bug. Partially revert
the above git commit and go back to s390 specific page table flush code.
For s390 the TLB can contain three types of entries, "normal" TLB
page-table entries, TLB combined region-and-segment-table (CRST) entries
and real-space entries. Linux does not use real-space entries which
leaves normal TLB entries and CRST entries. The CRST entries are
intermediate steps in the page-table translation called translation paths.
For example a 4K page access in a three-level page table setup will
create two CRST TLB entries and one page-table TLB entry. The advantage
of that approach is that a page access next to the previous one can reuse
the CRST entries and needs just a single read from memory to create the
page-table TLB entry. The disadvantage is that the TLB flushing rules are
more complicated, before any page-table may be freed the TLB needs to be
flushed.
In short: the generic RCU page-table freeing code is incorrect for the
CRST entries, in particular the check for mm_users < 2 is troublesome.
This is applicable to 3.0+ kernels.

[S390] kvm guest address space mapping
Add code that allows KVM to control the virtual memory layout that
is seen by a guest. The guest address space uses a second page table
that shares the last level pte-tables with the process page table.
If a page is unmapped from the process page table it is automatically
unmapped from the guest page table as well.
The guest address space mapping starts out empty, KVM can map any
individual 1MB segments from the process virtual memory to any 1MB
aligned location in the guest virtual memory. If a target segment in
the process virtual memory does not exist or is unmapped while a
guest mapping exists the desired target address is stored as an
invalid segment table entry in the guest page table.
The population of the guest page table is fault driven.

[S390] use generic RCU page-table freeing code
Replace the s390 specific rcu page-table freeing code with the
generic variant. This requires to duplicate the definition for the
struct mmu_table_batch as s390 does not use the generic tlb flush
code.
While we are at it remove the restriction that page table fragments
can not be reused after a single fragment has been freed with rcu
and split out allocation and freeing of page tables with pgstes.

[S390] refactor page table functions for better pgste support
Rework the architecture page table functions to access the bits in the
page table extension array (pgste). There are a number of changes:
1) Fix missing pgste update if the attach_count for the mm is <= 1.
2) For every operation that affects the invalid bit in the pte or the
rcp byte in the pgste the pcl lock needs to be acquired. The function
pgste_get_lock gets the pcl lock and returns the current pgste value
for a pte pointer. The function pgste_set_unlock stores the pgste
and releases the lock. Between these two calls the bits in the pgste
can be shuffled.
3) Define two software bits in the pte _PAGE_SWR and _PAGE_SWC to avoid
calling SetPageDirty and SetPageReferenced from pgtable.h. If the
host reference backup bit or the host change backup bit has been
set the dirty/referenced state is transfered to the pte. The common
code will pick up the state from the pte.
4) Add ptep_modify_prot_start and ptep_modify_prot_commit for mprotect.
5) Remove pgd_populate_kernel, pud_populate_kernel, pmd_populate_kernel
pgd_clear_kernel, pud_clear_kernel, pmd_clear_kernel and ptep_invalidate.
6) Rename kvm_s390_test_and_clear_page_dirty to
ptep_test_and_clear_user_dirty and add ptep_test_and_clear_user_young.
7) Define mm_exclusive() and mm_has_pgste() helper to improve readability.

[S390] Remove data execution protection
The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table
entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between
memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies
on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space
page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary
space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case.
Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines.
The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the
memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been
used to fetch the instruction.
This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled
with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current
noexec support.

[S390] Improve address space mode selection.
Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
They get replaced by
1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
is removed.

[S390] fix recursive locking on page_table_lock
Suzuki Poulose reported the following recursive locking bug on s390:
Here is the stack trace : (see Appendix I for more info)
[<0000000000406ed6>] _spin_lock+0x52/0x94
[<0000000000103bde>] crst_table_free+0x14e/0x1a4
[<00000000001ba684>] __pmd_alloc+0x114/0x1ec
[<00000000001be8d0>] handle_mm_fault+0x2cc/0xb80
[<0000000000407d62>] do_dat_exception+0x2b6/0x3a0
[<0000000000114f8c>] sysc_return+0x0/0x8
[<00000200001642b2>] 0x200001642b2
The page_table_lock is already acquired in __pmd_alloc (mm/memory.c) and
it tries to populate the pud/pgd with a new pmd allocated. If another
thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using
pmd_free().
On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(),
which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates.
Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock.
The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu
context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.
