[PATCHv5 00/19] Boot-time switching between 4- and 5-level paging

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

The basic idea is to implement the same logic as pgtable-nop4d.h provides,
but at runtime.

Runtime folding is only implemented for CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y case. With the
option disabled, we do compile-time folding as before..

Initially, I tried to fold pgd instread. I've got to shell, but it
required a lot of hacks as kernel threats pgd in a special way.

Please review and consider applying.

v5:
 - Split changes into more patches;
 - Rename p4d_folded to pgtable_l5_enabled and reverse logic around it;
 - Update commit messages to reflect effect on kernel image size;

v4:
 - Use ALTERNATIVE to patch return_from_SYSCALL_64 (Andi);
 - Use __read_mostly where appropriate (Andi);
 - Make X86_5LEVEL dependant on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP;
 - Fix build errors and warnings;

v3:
 - Make sparsemem data stuctures allocation dynamic to lower memory overhead on
   4-level paging machines;
 - Allow XEN_PV and XEN_PVH to be enabled with X86_5LEVEL;
 - XEN cleanups;
Kirill A. Shutemov (19):
  mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
  mm/zsmalloc: Prepare to variable MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS
  x86/kasan: Use the same shadow offset for 4- and 5-level paging
  x86/xen: Provide pre-built page tables only for XEN_PV and XEN_PVH
  x86/xen: Drop 5-level paging support code from XEN_PV code
  x86/boot/compressed/64: Detect and handle 5-level paging at boot-time
  x86/mm: Make virtual memory layout movable for CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL
  x86/mm: Make PGDIR_SHIFT and PTRS_PER_P4D variable
  x86/mm: Make MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS dynamic
  x86/mm: Make __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT and __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT dynamic
  x86/mm: Make STACK_TOP_MAX dynamic
  x86/mm: Adjust virtual address space layout in early boot.
  x86/mm: Make early boot code support boot-time switching of paging
    modes
  x86/mm: Fold p4d page table layer at runtime
  x86/mm: Replace compile-time checks for 5-level with runtime-time
  x86/mm: Allow to boot without la57 if CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y
  x86/xen: Allow XEN_PV and XEN_PVH to be enabled with X86_5LEVEL
  x86/mm: Redefine some of page table helpers as macros
  x86/mm: Offset boot-time paging mode switching cost
