[PATCHv3 0/5] use __create_pgd_mapping() to implement idmap and unify codes

[Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@gmail.com>]

v2 -> v3:
  -1. leave out the part of redefinition the CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVEL,
concentrate on sharing __create_pgd_mapping() in head.S as the first
step.
  -2. make IDMAP_PGTABLE_LEVELS use the max value ([3/5])

rfc -> v2:
  more debug and test

*** Goal of this series ***

__create_pgd_mapping() sets up the pgtable for mapping __va(paddr) ->
paddr under the MMU-on situation.  Since pgtable upper level holds the
paddr of the lower level, with a slight adaptation,
__create_pgd_mapping() can also set up the mapping under the MMU-off
situation. ([4/5])

After that, both idmap_pg_dir and init_pg_dir can be created by
__create_pgd_mapping(). And the counterpart asm code can be simplified.

This series can be applied against commit 4284bdf9405a ("Linux 5.13-rc2").


*** Plan for the next ***

The omitted part in V2, which resorts to redefinition of
CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVEL to provides two sets of routines. One set is proper
to set up a idmap which can adress total system RAM.  That can simplify
the asm code in head.S furtherly, also provide an create_idmap() API.


*** Test ***

This series can success booting with the following configuration on either Cavium
ThunderX2 99xx or Qualcomm Falkor:
            PAGE_SIZE  VA  PA  PGTABLE_LEVEL
Qualcomm    4K         48  48  4
            4K         39  48  3
            16K        48  48  4
            16K        47  48  3
Cavium      64K        52  52  3
            64K        48  52  3
            64K        42  52  2

Pingfan Liu (5):
  arm64/mm: introduce pgtable allocator for idmap_pg_dir and init_pg_dir
  arm64/mm: disable WARN_ON() and BUG_ON() in __create_pgd_mapping() if
    too early
