Subject: [PATCH V9 44/45] nvdimm/pmem: Enable stray access protection

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com>

The persistent memory (PMEM) driver uses the memremap_pages facility to
provide 'struct page' metadata (vmemmap) for PMEM.  Given that PMEM
capacity maybe orders of magnitude higher capacity than System RAM it
presents a large vulnerability surface to stray writes.  Unlike stray
writes to System RAM, which may result in a crash or other undesirable
behavior, stray writes to PMEM additionally are more likely to result in
permanent data loss. Reboot is not a remediation for PMEM corruption
like it is for System RAM.

Now that all valid kernel access' to PMEM have been annotated with
{__}pgmap_set_{readwrite,noaccess}() PGMAP_PROTECTION is safe to enable
in the pmem layer.

Set PGMAP_PROTECTION if pgmap protections are available and set the
pgmap property of the dax device for it's use.

Internally, the pmem driver uses a cached virtual address,
pmem->virt_addr (pmem_addr).  Call __pgmap_set_{readwrite,noaccess}()
directly when PGMAP_PROTECTION is active on those mappings.

---
Changes for V9
	Remove the dax operations and pass the pgmap to the dax_device
		for its use.
	s/pgmap_mk_*/pgmap_set_*/
	s/pmem_mk_*/pmem_set_*/

Changes for V8
	Rebase to 5.17-rc1
	Remove global param
	Add internal structure which uses the pmem device and pgmap
		device directly in the *_mk_*() calls.
	Add pmem dax ops callbacks
	Use pgmap_protection_available()
	s/PGMAP_PKEY_PROTECT/PGMAP_PROTECTION
