Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon:
 "This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64
  kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile.  We don't support any
  peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope:

   - MEMORY init (UEFI)

   - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI)

   - CPU init (FADT)

   - GIC init (MADT)

   - SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)

   - ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)

  ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
  has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables.  This
  has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for
  ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but
  also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux
  kernel.  This pull request is the result of that work.

  These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller,
  and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming
  from EFI.  We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme.  Of course,
  there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!)
  but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core
  series has been merged.

  Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up
  and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been
  extremely painful.  Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place
  and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in
  -next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below).  Nearly
  half of the insertions fall under Documentation/.

  So, we'll see how this goes.  Right now, it all depends on EXPERT and
  I fully expect people to use FDT by default for the immediate future"

As we detect more architectural features at runtime, it makes

a feature an erratum...

This patch extract the core capability parsing, moves it into
a new file (cpufeature.c), and let the CPU errata detection code

<title>ARM64 / ACPI: Get RSDP and ACPI boot-time tables</title>

<id>37655163ce1a3ef2635a9bba0ad614f25e01484e</id>
<content type='text'>
As we want to get ACPI tables to parse and then use the information
for system initialization, we should get the RSDP (Root System
Description Pointer) first, it then locates Extended Root Description
Table (XSDT) which contains all the 64-bit physical address that
pointer to other boot-time tables.

Introduce acpi.c and its related head file in this patch to provide
fundamental needs of extern variables and functions for ACPI core,
and then get boot-time tables as needed.
  - asm/acenv.h for arch specific ACPICA environments and
    implementation, It is needed unconditionally by ACPI core;
  - asm/acpi.h for arch specific variables and functions needed by
    ACPI driver core;
  - acpi.c for ARM64 related ACPI implementation for ACPI driver
    core;

acpi_boot_table_init() is introduced to get RSDP and boot-time tables,
it will be called in setup_arch() before paging_init(), so we should
use eary_memremap() mechanism here to get the RSDP and all the table
pointers.

FADT Major.Minor version was introduced in ACPI 5.1, it is the same
as ACPI version.

In ACPI 5.1, some major gaps are fixed for ARM, such as updates in
MADT table for GIC and SMP init, without those updates, we can not
get the MPIDR for SMP init, and GICv2/3 related init information, so
we can't boot arm64 ACPI properly with table versions predating 5.1.

If firmware provides ACPI tables with ACPI version less than 5.1,
OS has no way to retrieve the configuration data that is necessary
to init SMP boot protocol and the GIC properly, so disable ACPI if
we get an FADT table with version less that 5.1 when acpi_boot_table_init()
called.

struct cpu_table is an artifact left from the (very) early days of
the arm64 port, and its only real use is to allow the most beautiful
"AArch64 Processor" string to be displayed at boot time.

Really? Yes, really.

Let's get rid of it. In order to avoid another BogoMips-gate, the
aforementioned string is preserved.

An arm64 allmodconfig fails to build with GCC 5 due to __asmeq
assertions in the PSCI firmware calling code firing due to mcount
preambles breaking our assumptions about register allocation of function
arguments:

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s: Assembler messages:

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:100: Error: .err encountered
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:101: Error: .err encountered

This patch fixes the issue by moving the PSCI calls out-of-line into
their own assembly files, which are safe from the compiler's meddling
fingers.

<title>arm64: kernel: remove ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND config option</title>

<id>af3cfdbf56b91785650f54e7c9a899d814b4b9fb</id>
<content type='text'>
ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND config option was introduced to make code providing
context save/restore selectable only on platforms requiring power
management capabilities.

Currently ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND depends on the PM_SLEEP config option which
in turn is set by the SUSPEND config option.

The introduction of CPU_IDLE for arm64 requires that code configured
by ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND (context save/restore) should be compiled in
in order to enable the CPU idle driver to rely on CPU operations
carrying out context save/restore.

The ARM64_CPUIDLE config option (ARM64 generic idle driver) is therefore
forced to select ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND, even if there may be (ie PM_SLEEP)
failed dependencies, which is not a clean way of handling the kernel
configuration option.

For these reasons, this patch removes the ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND config option
and makes the context save/restore dependent on CPU_PM, which is selected
whenever either SUSPEND or CPU_IDLE are configured, cleaning up dependencies
in the process.

This way, code previously configured through ARM64_CPU_SUSPEND is
compiled in whenever a power management subsystem requires it to be
present in the kernel (SUSPEND || CPU_IDLE), which is the behaviour
expected on ARM64 kernels.

The cpu_suspend and cpu_init_idle CPU operations are added only if
CPU_IDLE is selected, since they are CPU_IDLE specific methods and
should be grouped and defined accordingly.

PSCI CPU operations are updated to reflect the introduced changes.

Unlike the sys_call_table[], the compat one was implemented in sys32.S
making it impossible to notice discrepancies between the number of
compat syscalls and the __NR_compat_syscalls macro, the latter having to
be defined in asm/unistd.h as including asm/unistd32.h would cause
conflicts on __NR_* definitions. With this patch, incorrect
__NR_compat_syscalls values will result in a build-time error.

<title>arm64: kernel: add support for cpu cache information</title>

This patch adds support for cacheinfo on ARM64.

On ARMv8, the cache hierarchy can be identified through Cache Level ID
(CLIDR) register while the cache geometry is provided by Cache Size ID
(CCSIDR) register.

Since the architecture doesn't provide any way of detecting the cpus
sharing particular cache, device tree is used for the same purpose.

<title>arm64: detect silicon revisions and set cap bits accordingly</title>

After each CPU has been started, we iterate through a list of
CPU features or bugs to detect CPUs which need (or could benefit
from) kernel code patches.
For each feature/bug there is a function which checks if that
particular CPU is affected. We will later provide some more generic
functions for common things like testing for certain MIDR ranges.
We do this for every CPU to cover big.LITTLE systems properly as
well.
If a certain feature/bug has been detected, the capability bit will
be set, so that later the call to apply_alternatives() will trigger
the actual code patching.

With a blatant copy of some x86 bits we introduce the alternative
runtime patching "framework" to arm64.
This is quite basic for now and we only provide the functions we need
at this time.
This is connected to the newly introduced feature bits.
