[PATCH V9 34/45] memremap_pages: Add Kconfig for DEVMAP_ACCESS_PROTECTION

[ira.weiny@intel.com]

From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>

The persistent memory (PMEM) driver uses the memremap_pages facility to
provide 'struct page' metadata (vmemmap) for PMEM.  Given that PMEM
capacity may be orders of magnitude higher capacity than System RAM it
presents a large vulnerability surface to stray writes.  Unlike stray
writes to System RAM, which may result in a crash or other undesirable
behavior, stray writes to PMEM additionally are more likely to result in
permanent data loss. Reboot is not a remediation for PMEM corruption
like it is for System RAM.

Given that PMEM access from the kernel is limited to a constrained set
of locations (PMEM driver, Filesystem-DAX, and direct-I/O to a DAX
page), it is amenable to supervisor pkey protection.

Add a Kconfig option to configure additional devmap protections using
PKS.

Only PMEM which is advertised to the memory subsystem needs this
protection.  Therefore, the feature depends on NVDIMM_PFN.
