Pull x86 memory management updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Make LAM enablement safe vs. kernel threads using a process mm
temporarily as switching back to the process would not update CR3 and
therefore not enable LAM causing faults in user space when using
tagged pointers. Cure it by synchronizing LAM enablement via IPIs to
all CPUs which use the related mm.
- Cure a LAM harmless inconsistency between CR3 and the state during
context switch. It's both confusing and prone to lead to real bugs
- Handle alt stack handling for threads which run with a non-zero
protection key. The non-zero key prevents the kernel to access the
alternate stack. Cure it by temporarily enabling all protection keys
for the alternate stack setup/restore operations.
- Provide a EFI config table identity mapping for kexec kernel to
prevent kexec fails because the new kernel cannot access the config
table array
- Use GB pages only when a full GB is mapped in the identity map as
otherwise the CPU can speculate into reserved areas after the end of
memory which causes malfunction on UV systems.
- Remove the noisy and pointless SRAT table dump during boot
- Use is_ioremap_addr() for iounmap() address range checks instead of
high_memory. is_ioremap_addr() is more precise.

The encoding of the pkey register differs on arm64, than on x86/ppc. On those
platforms, a bit in the register is used to disable permissions, for arm64, a
bit enabled in the register indicates that the permission is allowed.
This drops two asserts of the form:
assert(read_pkey_reg() <= orig_pkey_reg);
Because on arm64 this doesn't hold, due to the encoding.
The pkey must be reset to both access allow and write allow in the signal
handler. pkey_access_allow() works currently for PowerPC as the
PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS and PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE have overlapping bits set.
Access to the uc_mcontext is abstracted, as arm64 has a different structure.

Add a few new tests to exercise the signal handler flow, especially with
PKEY 0 disabled:
- Verify that the SIGSEGV handler is invoked when pkey 0 is disabled.
- Verify that a thread which disables PKEY 0 segfaults with PKUERR when
accessing the stack.
- Verify that the SIGSEGV handler that uses an alternate signal stack is
correctly invoked when the thread disabled PKEY 0
- Verify that the PKRU value set by the application is correctly restored
upon return from signal handling.
- Verify that sigreturn() is able to restore the altstack even if the
thread had PKEY 0 disabled
[ Aruna: Adapted to upstream ]
[ tglx: Made it actually compile. Restored protection_keys compile. Added
useful info to the changelog instead of bare function names. ]

Compiling mm selftest after adding a __printf() attribute to
ksft_print_msg() exposes -Wformat warning in remap_region().
Fix the wrong format specifier causing the warning.
The mm selftest uses the printf attribute in its full form. Since the
header file that uses it also includes kselftests.h it can use the macro
defined there.
Use __printf() included with kselftests.h instead of the full attribute.

Rename selftets/vm to selftests/mm for being more consistent with the
code, documentation, and tools directories, and won't be confused with
virtual machines.
