Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] KVM: arm64: Add usage of stage 2 fault lookup level in user_mem_abort()

If we get a FSC_PERM fault, just using (logging_active && writable) to determine
calling kvm_pgtable_stage2_map(). There will be two more cases we should consider.

(1) After logging_active is configged back to false from true. When we get a
FSC_PERM fault with write_fault and adjustment of hugepage is needed, we should
merge tables back to a block entry. This case is ignored by still calling
kvm_pgtable_stage2_relax_perms(), which will lead to an endless loop and guest
panic due to soft lockup.

(2) We use (FSC_PERM && logging_active && writable) to determine collapsing
a block entry into a table by calling kvm_pgtable_stage2_map(). But sometimes
we may only need to relax permissions when trying to write to a page other than
a block. In this condition, using kvm_pgtable_stage2_relax_perms() will be fine.

The ISS filed bit[1:0] in ESR_EL2 regesiter indicates the stage2 lookup level
at which a D-abort or I-abort occured. By comparing granule of the fault lookup
level with vma_pagesize, we can strictly distinguish conditions of calling
kvm_pgtable_stage2_relax_perms() or kvm_pgtable_stage2_map(), and the above
two cases will be well considered.

I like the idea, but is this macro reliable for stage-2 page-tables, given
that we could have a concatenated pgd?

Yes, it's fine even when we have a concatenated pgd table.

No matter a concatenated pgd will be made or not, the initial lookup
level (start _level) is set in VTCR_EL2 register.

The MMU hardware walker will know the start_level according to
information in VTCR_EL2.

This idea runs well in practice on host where ia_bits is 40, PAGE_SIZE
is 4k, and a concatenated pgd is made for guest stage2.

According to the kernel info printed, the start_level is 1, and stage 2
translation runs as expected.
