Fuad Tabba 638ea79669 KVM: arm64: Refactor user_mem_abort()
Refactor user_mem_abort() to improve code clarity and simplify
assumptions within the function.

Key changes include:

* Immediately set force_pte to true at the beginning of the function if
  logging_active is true. This simplifies the flow and makes the
  condition for forcing a PTE more explicit.

* Remove the misleading comment stating that logging_active is
  guaranteed to never be true for VM_PFNMAP memslots, as this assertion
  is not entirely correct.

* Extract reusable code blocks into new helper functions:
  * prepare_mmu_memcache(): Encapsulates the logic for preparing and
    topping up the MMU page cache.
  * adjust_nested_fault_perms(): Isolates the adjustments to shadow S2
    permissions and the encoding of nested translation levels.

* Update min(a, (long)b) to min_t(long, a, b) for better type safety and
  consistency.

* Perform other minor tidying up of the code.

These changes primarily aim to simplify user_mem_abort() and make its
logic easier to understand and maintain, setting the stage for future
modifications.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
