arm64: mm: Support Common Not Private translations
Common Not Private (CNP) is a feature of ARMv8.2 extension which
allows translation table entries to be shared between different PEs in
the same inner shareable domain, so the hardware can use this fact to
optimise the caching of such entries in the TLB.
CNP occupies one bit in TTBRx_ELy and VTTBR_EL2, which advertises to
the hardware that the translation table entries pointed to by this
TTBR are the same as every PE in the same inner shareable domain for
which the equivalent TTBR also has CNP bit set. In case CNP bit is set
but TTBR does not point at the same translation table entries for a
given ASID and VMID, then the system is mis-configured, so the results
of translations are UNPREDICTABLE.
For kernel we postpone setting CNP till all cpus are up and rely on
cpufeature framework to 1) patch the code which is sensitive to CNP
and 2) update TTBR1_EL1 with CNP bit set. TTBR1_EL1 can be
reprogrammed as result of hibernation or cpuidle (via __enable_mmu).
For these two cases we restore CnP bit via __cpu_suspend_exit().
There are a few cases we need to care of changes in TTBR0_EL1:
- a switch to idmap
- software emulated PAN
we rule out latter via Kconfig options and for the former we make
sure that CNP is set for non-zero ASIDs only.
