The original patch inverted the PTE unconditionally to avoid
L1TF-vulnerable PTEs, but Linux doesn't make this adjustment in 2-level
paging.
Adjust the logic to use the flip_protnone_guard() helper, which is a nop
on 2-level paging but inverts the address bits in all other paging modes.
This doesn't matter for the Xen aspect of the original change. Linux no
longer supports running 32bit PV under Xen, and Xen doesn't support
running any 32bit PV guests without using PAE paging.

For native, the choice of PTE is fine. There's real memory backing the
non-present PTE. However, for XenPV, Xen complains:
(XEN) d1 L1TF-vulnerable L1e 8010000018200066 - Shadowing
To explain, some background on XenPV pagetables:
Xen PV guests are control their own pagetables; they choose the new
PTE value, and use hypercalls to make changes so Xen can audit for
safety.
In addition to a regular reference count, Xen also maintains a type
reference count. e.g. SegDesc (referenced by vGDT/vLDT), Writable
(referenced with _PAGE_RW) or L{1..4} (referenced by vCR3 or a lower
pagetable level). This is in order to prevent e.g. a page being
inserted into the pagetables for which the guest has a writable mapping.
For non-present mappings, all other bits become software accessible,
and typically contain metadata rather a real frame address. There is
nothing that a reference count could sensibly be tied to. As such, even
if Xen could recognise the address as currently safe, nothing would
prevent that frame from changing owner to another VM in the future.
When Xen detects a PV guest writing a L1TF-PTE, it responds by
activating shadow paging. This is normally only used for the live phase
of migration, and comes with a reasonable overhead.
KFENCE only cares about getting #PF to catch wild accesses; it doesn't
care about the value for non-present mappings. Use a fully inverted PTE,
to avoid hitting the slow path when running under Xen.
While adjusting the logic, take the opportunity to skip all actions if the
PTE is already in the right state, half the number PVOps callouts, and
skip TLB maintenance on a !P -> P transition which benefits non-Xen cases
too.

x86's <asm/tlbflush.h> only declares non-module accessible functions
(such as flush_tlb_one_kernel) if !MODULE.
In preparation of including <asm/kfence.h> from the KFENCE test module,
only define the helpers if !MODULE to avoid breaking the build with
CONFIG_KFENCE_KUNIT_TEST=m.

On systems with KPTI enabled, we can currently observe the following
warning:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible
caller is invalidate_user_asid+0x13/0x50
CPU: 6 PID: 1075 Comm: dmesg Not tainted 5.12.0-rc4-gda4a2b1a5479-kfence_1+ #1
Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Pro 3500 Series/2ABF, BIOS 8.11 10/24/2012
Call Trace:

invalidate_user_asid+0x13/0x50
flush_tlb_one_kernel+0x5/0x20
kfence_protect+0x56/0x80
...
While it normally makes sense to require preemption to be off, so that
the expected CPU's TLB is flushed and not another, in our case it really
is best-effort (see comments in kfence_protect_page()).
Avoid the warning by disabling preemption around flush_tlb_one_kernel().

Instead of removing the fault handling portion of the stack trace based on
the fault handler's name, just use struct pt_regs directly.
Change kfence_handle_page_fault() to take a struct pt_regs, and plumb it
through to kfence_report_error() for out-of-bounds, use-after-free, or
invalid access errors, where pt_regs is used to generate the stack trace.
If the kernel is a DEBUG_KERNEL, also show registers for more information.

Add architecture specific implementation details for KFENCE and enable
KFENCE for the x86 architecture. In particular, this implements the
required interface in <asm/kfence.h> for setting up the pool and
providing helper functions for protecting and unprotecting pages.
For x86, we need to ensure that the pool uses 4K pages, which is done
using the set_memory_4k() helper function.
