Changes since v2 [1]:
* Fix links in the changelogs to reference lkml.kernel.org instead of
  lore.kernel.org (Peter)
* Collect Acked-by's from Kirill and Peter.
* Add more Cc's for patches 1 and 2.
* Strengthen the lead-in comment for the set_p*_safe() helpers (Dave)

>>From patch 5:

    Commit f77084d96355 "x86/mm/pat: Disable preemption around
    __flush_tlb_all()" addressed a case where __flush_tlb_all() is called
    without preemption being disabled. It also left a warning to catch other
    cases where preemption is not disabled. That warning triggers for the
    memory hotplug path which is also used for persistent memory enabling:
    
     WARNING: CPU: 35 PID: 911 at ./arch/x86/include/asm/tlbflush.h:460
     RIP: 0010:__flush_tlb_all+0x1b/0x3a
     [..]
     Call Trace:
      phys_pud_init+0x29c/0x2bb
      kernel_physical_mapping_init+0xfc/0x219
      init_memory_mapping+0x1a5/0x3b0
      arch_add_memory+0x2c/0x50
      devm_memremap_pages+0x3aa/0x610
      pmem_attach_disk+0x585/0x700 [nd_pmem]
    
    Andy wondered why a path that can sleep was using __flush_tlb_all() [1]
    and Dave confirmed the expectation for TLB flush is for modifying /
    invalidating existing pte entries, but not initial population [2]. Drop
    the usage of __flush_tlb_all() in phys_{p4d,pud,pmd}_init() on the
    expectation that this path is only ever populating empty entries for the
    linear map. Note, at linear map teardown time there is a call to the
    all-cpu flush_tlb_all() to invalidate the removed mappings.

Additionally, Dave wanted some runtime assurances that
kernel_physical_mapping_init() is only populating and not changing
existing page table entries. Patches 1 - 4 are implementing a new
set_pte() family of helpers for that purpose.

Patch 5 is tagged for -stable because the false positive warning is now
showing up on 4.19-stable kernels. Patches 1 - 4 are not tagged for
-stable, but if the sanity checking is needed please mark them as such.

The hang that was observed while developing the sanity checking
implementation was resolved by Peter's suggestion to not trigger when
the same pte value is being rewritten.

x86/mm: Drop usage of __flush_tlb_all() in kernel_physical_mapping_init()

Commit:

  f77084d96355 "x86/mm/pat: Disable preemption around __flush_tlb_all()"

addressed a case where __flush_tlb_all() is called without preemption
being disabled. It also left a warning to catch other cases where
preemption is not disabled.

That warning triggers for the memory hotplug path which is also used for
persistent memory enabling:

Andy wondered why a path that can sleep was using __flush_tlb_all() [1]

all-cpu flush_tlb_all() to invalidate the removed mappings.
