[PATCH v4 15/16] x86/mm/64: Enable vmapped stacks

[Andy Lutomirski]

This allows x86_64 kernels to enable vmapped stacks.  There are a
couple of interesting bits.

First, x86 lazily faults in top-level paging entries for the vmalloc
area.  This won't work if we get a page fault while trying to access
the stack: the CPU will promote it to a double-fault and we'll die.
To avoid this problem, probe the new stack when switching stacks and
forcibly populate the pgd entry for the stack when switching mms.

Second, once we have guard pages around the stack, we'll want to
detect and handle stack overflow.

I didn't enable it on x86_32.  We'd need to rework the double-fault
code a bit and I'm concerned about running out of vmalloc virtual
addresses under some workloads.

This patch, by itself, will behave somewhat erratically when the
stack overflows while RSP is still more than a few tens of bytes
above the bottom of the stack.  Specifically, we'll get #PF and make
it to no_context and an oops without triggering a double-fault, and
no_context doesn't know about stack overflows.  The next patch will
improve that case.
