We met a kernel panic when enabling earlycon, which is due to the fixmap
address of earlycon is not statically setup.

Currently the static fixmap setup in head_64.S only covers 2M virtual
address space, while it actually could be in 4M space with different
kernel configurations, e.g. when VSYSCALL emulation is disabled.

So increase the static space to 4M for now by defining FIXMAP_PMD_NUM to 2,
and add a build time check to ensure that the fixmap is covered by the
initial static page tables.

<title>x86/mm: Fix overlap of i386 CPU_ENTRY_AREA with FIX_BTMAP</title>

<id>urn:sha1:55f49fcb879fbeebf2a8c1ac7c9e6d90df55f798</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 92a0f81d8957 ("x86/cpu_entry_area: Move it out of the
fixmap"), i386's CPU_ENTRY_AREA has been mapped to the memory area just
below FIXADDR_START. But already immediately before FIXADDR_START is the
FIX_BTMAP area, which means that early_ioremap can collide with the entry
area.

It's especially bad on PAE where FIX_BTMAP_BEGIN gets aligned to exactly
match CPU_ENTRY_AREA_BASE, so the first early_ioremap slot clobbers the
IDT and causes interrupts during early boot to reset the system.

The overlap wasn't a problem before the CPU entry area was introduced,
as the fixmap has classically been preceded by the pkmap or vmalloc
areas, neither of which is used until early_ioremap is out of the
picture.

Relocate CPU_ENTRY_AREA to below FIX_BTMAP, not just below the permanent
fixmap area.

Put the cpu_entry_area into a separate P4D entry. The fixmap gets too big
and 0-day already hit a case where the fixmap PTEs were cleared by
cleanup_highmap().

Aside of that the fixmap API is a pain as it's all backwards.

If the kernel oopses while on the trampoline stack, it will print
"&lt;SYSENTER&gt;" even if SYSENTER is not involved.  That is rather confusing.

The "SYSENTER" stack is used for a lot more than SYSENTER now.  Give it a
better string to display in stack dumps, and rename the kernel code to
match.

Also move the 32-bit code over to the new naming even though it still uses
the entry stack only for SYSENTER.

<title>x86/entry/64: Make cpu_entry_area.tss read-only</title>

<content type='text'>
The TSS is a fairly juicy target for exploits, and, now that the TSS
is in the cpu_entry_area, it's no longer protected by kASLR.  Make it
read-only on x86_64.

On x86_32, it can't be RO because it's written by the CPU during task
switches, and we use a task gate for double faults.  I'd also be
nervous about errata if we tried to make it RO even on configurations
without double fault handling.

[ tglx: AMD confirmed that there is no problem on 64-bit with TSS RO.  So
  	it's probably safe to assume that it's a non issue, though Intel
  	might have been creative in that area. Still waiting for
  	confirmation. ]

The IST stacks are needed when an IST exception occurs and are accessed
before any kernel code at all runs.  Move them into struct cpu_entry_area.

The IST stacks are unlike the rest of cpu_entry_area: they're used even for
entries from kernel mode.  This means that they should be set up before we
load the final IDT.  Move cpu_entry_area setup to trap_init() for the boot
CPU and set it up for all possible CPUs at once in native_smp_prepare_cpus().
