arm64: mm: always call PTE/PMD ctor in __create_pgd_mapping()
TL;DR: always call the PTE/PMD ctor, passing the appropriate mm to skip ptlock_init() if unneeded. __create_pgd_mapping() is used for creating different kinds of mappings, and may allocate page table pages if passed an allocator callback. There are currently three such cases: 1. create_pgd_mapping(), which is used to create the EFI mapping 2. arch_add_memory() 3. map_entry_trampoline() 1. uses pgd_pgtable_alloc() as allocator callback, which calls the PTE/PMD ctor, while 2. and 3. use __pgd_pgtable_alloc(), which does not. The rationale is most likely that pgtables associated with init_mm do not make use of split page table locks, and it is therefore unnecessary to initialise them by calling the ctor. 2. operates on swapper_pg_dir so the allocated pgtables are clearly associated with init_mm, this is arguably the case for 3. too (the trampoline mapping is never modified so ptlocks are anyway irrelevant). 1. corresponds to efi_mm so ptlocks need to be initialised in that case. We are now moving towards calling the ctor for all page tables, even those associated with init_mm. pagetable_{pte,pmd}_ctor() have become aware of the associated mm so that the ptlock initialisation can be skipped for init_mm. This patch therefore amends the allocator callbacks so that the PTE/PMD ctor are always called, with an appropriate mm pointer to avoid unnecessary ptlock overhead. Modifying the prototype of the allocator callbacks to take the mm and propagating that pointer all the way down would be pretty invasive. Instead: * __pgd_pgtable_alloc() (cases 2. and 3. above) is replaced with pgd_pgtable_alloc_init_mm(), resulting in the ctors being called with &init_mm. This is the main functional change in this patch; the ptlock still isn't initialised, but other ctor actions (e.g. accounting-related) are now carried out for those allocated pgtables. * pgd_pgtable_alloc() (case 1. above) is replaced with pgd_pgtable_alloc_special_mm(), resulting in the ctors being called with NULL as mm. No functional change here; NULL essentially means "not init_mm", and the ptlock is still initialised. __pgd_pgtable_alloc() is now the common implementation of those two helpers. While at it we switch it to using pagetable_alloc() like standard pgtable allocator functions and remove the comment regarding ctor calls (ctors are now always expected to be called).
