Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region. This prevents
a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the
page_table_lock is already held. If this race occurs, then Xen can see
an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable
page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either
the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel.
vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of
page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users.
The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't
be otherwise used for pgds.

In x86, access and dirty bits are set automatically by CPU when CPU accesses
memory. When we go into the code path of below flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault(),
we already set dirty bit for pte and don't need flush tlb. This might mean
tlb entry in some CPUs hasn't dirty bit set, but this doesn't matter. When
the CPUs do page write, they will automatically check the bit and no software
involved.
On the other hand, flush tlb in below position is harmful. Test creates CPU
number of threads, each thread writes to a same but random address in same vma
range and we measure the total time. Under a 4 socket system, original time is
1.96s, while with the patch, the time is 0.8s. Under a 2 socket system, there is
20% time cut too. perf shows a lot of time are taking to send ipi/handle ipi for
tlb flush.

is_untracked_pat_range() -- like its components, is_ISA_range() and
is_GRU_range(), takes a normal semiclosed interval (>=, <) whereas the
PAT code called it as if it took a closed range (>=, <=). Fix.
Although this is a bug, I believe it is non-manifest, simply because
none of the callers will call this with non-page-aligned addresses.

PAT code maps the ISA memory range as WB in the PAT attribute, so that
fixed range MTRR registers define the actual memory type (UC/WC/WT etc).
But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing,
as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is
WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each
4k page).
Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range
checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings
satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address
range.

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.
Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.
Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.

The _none test is done differently for every level of the pagetable.
Standardize them by:
1: Use the native_X_val to extract the raw entry, with no need to go
via paravirt_ops, diff -r 1d0646d0d319 arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h, and
