KVM: arm64: Use LPA2 page-tables for stage2 and hyp stage1
Implement a simple policy whereby if the HW supports FEAT_LPA2 for the page size we are using, always use LPA2-style page-tables for stage 2 and hyp stage 1 (assuming an nvhe hyp), regardless of the VMM-requested IPA size or HW-implemented PA size. When in use we can now support up to 52-bit IPA and PA sizes. We use the previously created cpu feature to track whether LPA2 is supported for deciding whether to use the LPA2 or classic pte format. Note that FEAT_LPA2 brings support for bigger block mappings (512GB with 4KB, 64GB with 16KB). We explicitly don't enable these in the library because stage2_apply_range() works on batch sizes of the largest used block mapping, and increasing the size of the batch would lead to soft lockups. See commit 5994bc9e ("KVM: arm64: Limit stage2_apply_range() batch size to largest block"). With the addition of LPA2 support in the hypervisor, the PA size supported by the HW must be capped with a runtime decision, rather than simply using a compile-time decision based on PA_BITS. For example, on a system that advertises 52 bit PA but does not support FEAT_LPA2, A 4KB or 16KB kernel compiled with LPA2 support must still limit the PA size to 48 bits. Therefore, move the insertion of the PS field into TCR_EL2 out of __kvm_hyp_init assembly code and instead do it in cpu_prepare_hyp_mode() where the rest of TCR_EL2 is prepared. This allows us to figure out PS with kvm_get_parange(), which has the appropriate logic to ensure the above requirement. (and the PS field of VTCR_EL2 is already populated this way).
