[PATCH v3 00/12] powerpc/kfence: Improve kfence support (mainly Hash)

["Ritesh Harjani (IBM)" <ritesh.list@gmail.com>]

v2 -> v3:
============
1. Addressed review comments from Christophe in patch-1: To check for
   is_kfence_address before doing search in exception tables.
   (Thanks for the review!)

2. Separate out patch-1, which will need a separate tree for inclusion and
   review from kfence/kasan folks since it's a kfence kunit test.

[v2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/cover.1728954719.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com/

Not much of the change from last revision. I wanted to split this series up
and drop the RFC tag so that this starts to look ready for inclusion before the
merge window opens for powerpc-next testing.

Kindly let me know if anything is needed for this.

Summary:
==========
This patch series addresses following to improve kfence support on Powerpc.

1. Usage of copy_from_kernel_nofault() within kernel, such as read from
   /proc/kcore can cause kfence to report false negatives.

   This is similar to what was reported on s390. [1]
   [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230213183858.1473681-1-hca@linux.ibm.com/

   Patch-1, thus adds a fix to handle this case in ___do_page_fault() for
   powerpc.

2. (book3s64) Kfence depends upon debug_pagealloc infrastructure on Hash.
   debug_pagealloc allocates a linear map based on the size of the DRAM i.e.
   1 byte for every 64k page. That means for a 16TB DRAM, it will need 256MB
   memory for linear map. Memory for linear map on pseries comes from
   RMA region which has size limitation. On P8 RMA is 512MB, in which we also
   fit crash kernel at 256MB, paca allocations and emergency stacks.
   That means there is not enough memory in the RMA region for the linear map
   based on DRAM size (required by debug_pagealloc).

   Now kfence only requires memory for it's kfence objects. kfence by default
   requires only (255 + 1) * 2 i.e. 32 MB for 64k pagesize.

Summary of patches
==================
Patch-1 adds a fix to handle this false negatives from copy_from_kernel_nofault().

Patch[2-8] removes the direct dependency of kfence on debug_pagealloc
infrastructure. We make Hash kernel linear map functions to take linear map array
as a parameter so that it can support debug_pagealloc and kfence individually.
That means we don't need to keep the size of the linear map to be
DRAM_SIZE >> PAGE_SHIFT anymore for kfence.

Patch-9: Adds kfence support with above (abstracted out) kernel linear map
infrastructure. With it, this also fixes, the boot failure problem when kfence
gets enabled on Hash with >=16TB of RAM.

Patch-10 & Patch-11: Ensure late initialization of kfence is disabled for both
Hash and Radix due to linear mapping size limiations. Commit gives more
description.

Patch-12: Early detects if debug_pagealloc cannot be enabled (due to RMA size
limitation) so that the linear mapping size can be set correctly during init.

Testing:
========
It passes kfence kunit tests with Hash and Radix.
[   44.355173][    T1] # kfence: pass:27 fail:0 skip:0 total:27
[   44.358631][    T1] # Totals: pass:27 fail:0 skip:0 total:27
[   44.365570][    T1] ok 1 kfence


Future TODO:
============
When kfence on Hash gets enabled, the kernel linear map uses PAGE_SIZE mapping
rather than 16MB mapping. This should be improved in future.

v1 -> v2:
=========
1. Added a kunit testcase patch-1.
2. Fixed a false negative with copy_from_kernel_nofault() in patch-2.
3. Addressed review comments from Christophe Leroy.
4. Added patch-13.
