<title>arm64: avoid multiple evaluation of ptr in get_user/put_user()</title>

<id>1f65c13efef69b6dc908e588f91a133641d8475c</id>
<content type='text'>
get_user() is defined as a function macro in arm64, and trace_get_user()
calls it as followed:
     get_user(ch, ptr++);
Since the second parameter occurs twice in the definition, 'ptr++' is
unexpectedly evaluated twice and trace_get_user() will generate a bogus
string from user-provided one. As a result, some ftrace sysfs operations,
like "echo FUNCNAME &gt; set_ftrace_filter," hit this case and eventually fail.
This patch fixes the issue both in get_user() and put_user().

Under arm64 elf_hwcap is a 32 bit quantity, but it is stored in
a 64 bit auxiliary ELF field and glibc reads hwcap as 64 bit.

This patch widens elf_hwcap to be 64 bit.

Pull ARM64 update from Catalin Marinas:
 - User tagged pointers support (top 8-bit of user pointers
   automatically ignored by the CPU).
 - Kernel mode NEON (no users for arm64 yet but work in progress).
 - arm64 kernel Image header extended to accommodate future EFI stub.
 - Remove BogoMIPS reporting (not relevant, it's just the timer
   frequency).
 - Clean-up (EM_AARCH64/EM_ARM to elf-em.h, ELF notes in read-only
   segment, unused variable).
 - Bug-fixes (RAM boundaries not 2MB aligned, perf, includes).

* tag 'arm64-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64:
  Documentation/arm64: clarify requirements for DTB placement
  arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0

TCR.TBI0 can be used to cause hardware address translation to ignore the
top byte of userspace virtual addresses. Whilst not especially useful in
standard C programs, this can be used by JITs to `tag' pointers with
various pieces of metadata.

This patch enables this bit for AArch64 Linux, and adds a new file to
Documentation/arm64/ which describes some potential caveats when using
tagged virtual addresses.

Add &lt;asm/neon.h&gt; containing kernel_neon_begin/kernel_neon_end function
declarations and corresponding definitions in fpsimd.c

These are needed to wrap uses of NEON in kernel mode. The names are
identical to the ones used in arm/ so code using intrinsics or
vectorized by GCC can be shared between arm and arm64.
