[PATCH v4 0/2] arm64: apply G-to-nG conversion for KPTI with MMU enabled

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

Rationale for the series is in patch #2.

Changes since v3 [0]:
- fix issue pointed out by Mark in patch #1, and add his Rb/Tb;
- move shared flag back into the ID map, as this allows us to revert to
  the existing synchronization scheme, and drastically simplify the
  patch - we can move the flag into a separate page later, if needed;
- use symbol alias to access __create_pgd_mapping() so we are not forced
  to expose it in general.

Changes since v2 [1]:
- reinstate optimization that avoids descending into the same page
  tables repeatedly when KASAN is enabled;
- use broadcast TLB maintenance when doing BBM for the temporary
  mappings, to prevent potential TLB conflicts on the secondary cores
  that are running from the same set of temporary page tables;
- remove a wait loop in the C code, by using 'num_cpus + 1' as the
  signal value rather then 0x0;
- declutter and simplify the asm helper code, to make it more
  maintainable.
