[PATCH 5/6] powerpc/mm/64s/hash: Add real-mode change_memory_range() for hash LPAR

[Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>]

When we enabled STRICT_KERNEL_RWX we received some reports of boot
failures when using the Hash MMU and running under phyp. The crashes
are intermittent, and often exhibit as a completely unresponsive
system, or possibly an oops.

One example, which was caught in xmon:

This shows that CPU 2, which was idle, woke up and then appears to
randomly take an instruction fault on a completely valid area of
kernel text.

The cause turns out to be the call to hash__mark_rodata_ro(), late in
boot. Due to the way we layout text and rodata, that function actually
changes the permissions for all of text and rodata to read-only plus
execute.

To do the permission change we use a hypervisor call, H_PROTECT. On
phyp that appears to be implemented by briefly removing the mapping of
the kernel text, before putting it back with the updated permissions.
If any other CPU is executing during that window, it will see spurious
faults on the kernel text and/or data, leading to crashes.

To fix it we use stop machine to collect all other CPUs, and then have
them drop into real mode (MMU off), while we change the mapping. That
way they are unaffected by the mapping temporarily disappearing.
