Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 059/305] ARM/arm64: KVM: test properly for a PTE's uncachedness

4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@...aro.org>

commit e6fab54423450d699a09ec2b899473a541f61971 upstream.

The open coded tests for checking whether a PTE maps a page as
uncached use a flawed '(pte_val(xxx) & CONST) != CONST' pattern,
which is not guaranteed to work since the type of a mapping is
not a set of mutually exclusive bits

For HYP mappings, the type is an index into the MAIR table (i.e, the
index itself does not contain any information whatsoever about the
type of the mapping), and for stage-2 mappings it is a bit field where
normal memory and device types are defined as follows:

    #define MT_S2_NORMAL            0xf
    #define MT_S2_DEVICE_nGnRE      0x1

I.e., masking *and* comparing with the latter matches on the former,
and we have been getting lucky merely because the S2 device mappings
also have the PTE_UXN bit set, or we would misidentify memory mappings
as device mappings.

Since the unmap_range() code path (which contains one instance of the
flawed test) is used both for HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings, and
considering the difference between the two, it is non-trivial to fix
this by rewriting the tests in place, as it would involve passing
down the type of mapping through all the functions.

However, since HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings both deal with host
physical addresses, we can simply check whether the mapping is backed
by memory that is managed by the host kernel, and only perform the
D-cache maintenance if this is the case.
