[patch 07/17] Allow paravirt backend to choose kernel PMD sharing

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: shared-kernel-pmd.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 12027 bytes --]

Normally when running in PAE mode, the 4th PMD maps the kernel address
space, which can be shared among all processes (since they all need
the same kernel mappings).

Xen, however, does not allow guests to have the kernel pmd shared
between page tables, so parameterize pgtable.c to allow both modes of
operation.

There are several side-effects of this.  One is that vmalloc will
update the kernel address space mappings, and those updates need to be
propagated into all processes if the kernel mappings are not
intrinsically shared.  In the non-PAE case, this is done by
maintaining a pgd_list of all processes; this list is used when all
process pagetables must be updated.  pgd_list is threaded via
otherwise unused entries in the page structure for the pgd, which
means that the pgd must be page-sized for this to work.

Normally the PAE pgd is only 4x64 byte entries large, but Xen requires
the PAE pgd to page aligned anyway, so this patch forces the pgd to be
page aligned+sized when the kernel pmd is unshared, to accomodate both
these requirements.

Also, since there may be several distinct kernel pmds (if the
user/kernel split is below 3G), there's no point in allocating them
from a slab cache; they're just allocated with get_free_page and
initialized appropriately.  (Of course the could be cached if there is
just a single kernel pmd - which is the default with a 3G user/kernel
split - but it doesn't seem worthwhile to add yet another case into
this code).

[ Many thanks to wli for review comments. ]
