[RFC PATCH 4/4] arm64/mm: remap crash kernel with base pages even if rodata_full disabled

[Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org>]

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>

For server systems it is important to protect crash kernel memory for
post-mortem analysis. In order to protect this memory it should be mapped
at PTE level.

When CONFIG_ZONE_DMA or CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 is enabled, usage of crash kernel
essentially forces mapping of the entire linear map with base pages even if
rodata_full is not set (commit 2687275a5843 ("arm64: Force
NO_BLOCK_MAPPINGS if crashkernel reservation is required")) and this causes
performance degradation.

With ZONE_DMA/DMA32 enabled, the crash kernel memory is reserved after
the linear map is created, but before multiprocessing and multithreading
are enabled, so it is safe to remap the crash kernel memory with base
pages as long as the page table entries that would be changed do not map
the memory that might be accessed during the remapping.

To ensure there are no memory accesses in the range that will be
remapped, align crash memory reservation to PUD_SIZE boundaries, remap
the entire PUD-aligned area and than free the memory that was allocated
beyond the crash_size requested by the user.
