[PATCH v4] powerpc/mm/radix: Workaround prefetch issue with KVM

There's a somewhat architectural issue with Radix MMU and KVM.
When coming out of a guest with AIL (ie, MMU enabled), we start
executing hypervisor code with the PID register still containing
whatever the guest has been using.
The problem is that the CPU can (and will) then start prefetching
or speculatively load from whatever host context has that same
PID (if any), thus bringing translations for that context into
the TLB, which Linux doesn't know about.
This can cause stale translations and subsequent crashes.
Fixing this in a way that is neither racy nor a huge performance
impact is difficult. We could just make the host invalidations
always use broadcast forms but that would hurt single threaded
programs for example.
We chose to fix it instead by partitioning the PID space between
guest and host. This is possible because today Linux only use 19
out of the 20 bits of PID space, so existing guests will work
if we make the host use the top half of the 20 bits space.
We additionally add a property to indicate to Linux the size of
the PID register which will be useful if we eventually have
processors with a larger PID space available.
There is still an issue with malicious guests purposefully setting
the PID register to a value in the host range. Hopefully future HW
can prevent that, but in the meantime, we handle it with a pair of
kludges:
- On the way out of a guest, before we clear the current VCPU
in the PACA, we check the PID and if it's outside of the permitted
range we flush the TLB for that PID.
- When context switching, if the mm is "new" on that CPU (the
corresponding bit was set for the first time in the mm cpumask), we
check if any sibling thread is in KVM (has a non-NULL VCPU pointer
in the PACA). If that is the case, we also flush the PID for that
CPU (core).
This second part is needed to handle the case where a process is
migrated (or starts a new pthread) on a sibling thread of the CPU
coming out of KVM, as there's a window where stale translations
can exist before we detect it and flush them out.
A future optimization could be added by keeping track of whether
the PID has ever been used and avoid doing that for completely
fresh PIDs. We could similarily mark PIDs that have been the subject of
a global invalidation as "fresh". But for now this will do.

v2. Do the check on KVM exit *after* we've restored the host PID
v3. Properly check for radix in the exit assembly and avoid adding
yet another function to tlb-radix.c
v4. Don't add an argument to switch_mmu_context(), instead call a
workaround function directly from switch_mm_irqs_off(), which
keeps the patch a lot smaller.
