Commit b8c9592 "ARM: 8318/1: treat CPU feature register fields as signed
quantities" accidentally altered cpuid register used to demote
HWCAP_SWP.
ARM ARM says that SyncPrim_instrs bits in ID_ISAR3 should be used with
SynchPrim_instrs_frac from ID_ISAR4. So, follow this rule.

<title>ARM: 8550/1: protect idiv patching against undefined gcc behavior</title>

It was reported that a kernel with CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_IDIV=y stopped
booting when compiled with the upcoming gcc 6.  Turns out that turning
a function address into a writable array is undefined and gcc 6 decided
it was OK to omit the store to the first word of the function while
still preserving the store to the second word.

Even though gcc 6 is now fixed to behave more coherently, it is a
mystery that gcc 4 and gcc 5 actually produce wanted code in the kernel.
And in fact the reduced test case to illustrate the issue does indeed
break with gcc &lt; 6 as well.

In any case, let's guard the kernel against undefined compiler behavior
by hiding the nature of the array location as suggested by gcc
developers.

Set IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM in flags of resource ranges with
"System RAM", "Kernel code", "Kernel data", and "Kernel bss".

Note that:

 - IORESOURCE_SYSRAM (i.e. modifier bit) is set in flags when
   IORESOURCE_MEM is already set. IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined
   as (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_SYSRAM).

 - Some archs do not set 'flags' for children nodes, such as
   "Kernel code".  This patch does not change 'flags' in this
   case.

<title>ARM: 8477/1: runtime patch udiv/sdiv instructions into __aeabi_{u}idiv()</title>

<id>42f25bddd0a226d2431e057b9e01c5cc61067e12</id>
<content type='text'>
The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_idiv() and
__aeabi_uidiv() when it needs to perform division on signed and
unsigned integers. If a processor has support for the sdiv and
udiv instructions, the kernel may overwrite the beginning of those
functions with those instructions and a "bx lr" to get better
performance.

To ensure that those functions are aligned to a 32-bit word for easier
patching (which might not always be the case in Thumb mode) and that
the two patched instructions end up in the same cache line, a 8-byte
alignment is enforced when ARM_PATCH_IDIV is selected.

This was heavily inspired by a previous patch from Stephen Boyd.

<title>ARM: wire up UEFI init and runtime support</title>

This adds support to the kernel proper for booting via UEFI. It shares
most of the code with arm64, so this patch mostly just wires it up for
use with ARM.

Note that this does not include the EFI stub, it is added in a subsequent
patch.

<title>ARM: add support for generic early_ioremap/early_memremap</title>

<content type='text'>
This enables the generic early_ioremap implementation for ARM.

It uses the fixmap region reserved for kmap. Since early_ioremap
is only supported before paging_init(), and kmap is only supported
afterwards, this is guaranteed not to cause any clashes.

Add early fixmap support, initially to support permanent, fixed
mapping support for early console. A temporary, early pte is
created which is migrated to a permanent mapping in paging_init.
This is also needed since the attributes may change as the memory
types are initialized. The 3MiB range of fixmap spans two pte
tables, but currently only one pte is created for early fixmap
support.

Re-add FIX_KMAP_BEGIN to the index calculation in highmem.c since
the index for kmap does not start at zero anymore. This reverts
4221e2e6b316 ("ARM: 8031/1: fixmap: remove FIX_KMAP_BEGIN and
FIX_KMAP_END") to some extent.

<title>ARM: migrate to common PSCI client code</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that the common PSCI client code has been factored out to
drivers/firmware, and made safe for 32-bit use, move the 32-bit ARM code
over to it. This results in a moderate reduction of duplicated lines,
and will prevent further duplication as the PSCI client code is updated
for PSCI 1.0 and beyond.

The two legacy platform users of the PSCI invocation code are updated to
account for interface changes. In both cases the power state parameter
(which is constant) is now generated using macros, so that the
pack/unpack logic can be killed in preparation for PSCI 1.0 power state
changes.
