CPU Errata work arounds are detected and applied to the
kernel code at boot time and the data is then freed up.
If a new hotplugged CPU requires a work around which
was not applied at boot time, there is nothing we can
do but simply fail the booting.

Add scope parameter to the arm64_cpu_capabilities::matches(), so that
this can be reused for checking the capability on a given CPU vs the
system wide. The system uses the default scope associated with the
capability for initialising the CPU_HWCAPs and ELF_HWCAPs.

On ThunderX T88 pass 1.x through 2.1 parts, broadcast TLBI
instructions may cause the icache to become corrupted if it contains
data for a non-current ASID.

This patch implements the workaround (which invalidates the local
icache when switching the mm) by using code patching.

<title>arm64: prefetch: add alternative pattern for CPUs without a prefetcher</title>

Most CPUs have a hardware prefetcher which generally performs better
without explicit prefetch instructions issued by software, however
some CPUs (e.g. Cavium ThunderX) rely solely on explicit prefetch
instructions.

This patch adds an alternative pattern (ARM64_HAS_NO_HW_PREFETCH) to
allow our library code to make use of explicit prefetch instructions
during things like copy routines only when the CPU does not have the
capability to perform the prefetching itself.

Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2 can misreport Stage 2 translation faults
when a Stage 1 permission fault or device alignment fault should
have been reported.

This patch implements the workaround (which is to validate that the
Stage-1 translation actually succeeds) by using code patching.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch
   merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be
   upstreamed via the arm64 tree

 - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems
   where CPUs may not have exactly the same features.  The features
   reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are
   delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts)

 - Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA
   space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT

 - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64

 - New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together
   with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where
   feasible)

 - KASan support for arm64

 - EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by
   KASan)

 - copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template)

 - perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework

 - L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware

 - Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive
   entries may be able to use a single TLB entry)

 - Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64

 - defconfig updates

check_cpu_capabilities runs through a given list of caps and
checks if the system has the cap, updates the system capability
bitmap and also runs any enable() methods associated with them.
All of this is not quite obvious from the name 'check'. This
patch splits the check_cpu_capabilities into two parts :

1) update_cpu_capabilities
 =&gt; Runs through the given list and updates the system
    wide capability map.
2) enable_cpu_capabilities
 =&gt; Runs through the given list and invokes enable() (if any)
    for the caps enabled on the system.

This patch implements Cavium ThunderX erratum 23154.

The gicv3 of ThunderX requires a modified version for reading the IAR
status to ensure data synchronization. Since this is in the fast-path
and called with each interrupt, runtime patching is used using jump
label patching for smallest overhead (no-op). This is the same
technique as used for tracepoints.

<title>arm64: fix midr range for Cortex-A57 erratum 832075</title>

<id>6d1966dfd6e0ad2f8aa4b664ae1a62e33abe1998</id>
<content type='text'>
Register MIDR_EL1 is masked to get variant and revision fields, then
compared against midr_range_min and midr_range_max when checking
whether CPU is affected by any particular erratum. However, variant
and revision fields in MIDR_EL1 are separated by 16 bits, so the min
and max of midr range should be constructed accordingly, otherwise
the patch will not be applied when variant field is non-0.

Register MIDR_EL1 is masked to get variant and revision fields, then
compared against midr_range_min and midr_range_max when checking
whether CPU is affected by any particular erratum. However, variant
and revision fields in MIDR_EL1 are separated by 16 bits, so the min
and max of midr range should be constructed accordingly, otherwise
the patch will not be applied when variant field is non-0.
