<title>arm64: cpufeature: Schedule enable() calls instead of calling them via IPI</title>

<content type='text'>
The enable() call for a cpufeature/errata is called using on_each_cpu().
This issues a cross-call IPI to get the work done. Implicitly, this
stashes the running PSTATE in SPSR when the CPU receives the IPI, and
restores it when we return. This means an enable() call can never modify
PSTATE.

To allow PAN to do this, change the on_each_cpu() call to use
stop_machine(). This schedules the work on each CPU which allows
us to modify PSTATE.

This involves changing the protype of all the enable() functions.

enable_cpu_capabilities() is called during boot and enables the feature
on all online CPUs. This path now uses stop_machine(). CPU features for
hotplug'd CPUs are enabled by verify_local_cpu_features() which only
acts on the local CPU, and can already modify the running PSTATE as it
is called from secondary_start_kernel().

<title>arm64: Work around systems with mismatched cache line sizes</title>

Systems with differing CPU i-cache/d-cache line sizes can cause
problems with the cache management by software when the execution
is migrated from one to another. Usually, the application reads
the cache size on a CPU and then uses that length to perform cache
operations. However, if it gets migrated to another CPU with a smaller
cache line size, things could go completely wrong. To prevent such
cases, always use the smallest cache line size among the CPUs. The
kernel CPU feature infrastructure already keeps track of the safe
value for all CPUID registers including CTR. This patch works around
the problem by :

For kernel, dynamically patch the kernel to read the cache size
from the system wide copy of CTR_EL0.

For applications, trap read accesses to CTR_EL0 (by clearing the SCTLR.UCT)
and emulate the mrs instruction to return the system wide safe value
of CTR_EL0.

For faster access (i.e, avoiding to lookup the system wide value of CTR_EL0
via read_system_reg), we keep track of the pointer to table entry for
CTR_EL0 in the CPU feature infrastructure.

<title>arm64: Use consistent naming for errata handling</title>

<content type='text'>
This is a cosmetic change to rename the functions dealing with
the errata work arounds to be more consistent with their naming.

1) check_local_cpu_errata() =&gt; update_cpu_errata_workarounds()
check_local_cpu_errata() actually updates the system's errata work
arounds. So rename it to reflect the same.

2) verify_local_cpu_errata() =&gt; verify_local_cpu_errata_workarounds()
Use errata_workarounds instead of _errata.

The ARM errata 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069 for affected
Cortex-A53 cores demand to promote "dc cvau" instructions to
"dc civac". Since we allow userspace to also emit those instructions,
we should make sure that "dc cvau" gets promoted there too.
So lets grasp the nettle here and actually trap every userland cache
maintenance instruction once we detect at least one affected core in
the system.
We then emulate the instruction by executing it on behalf of userland,
promoting "dc cvau" to "dc civac" on the way and injecting access
fault back into userspace.

Currently we call the (optional) enable function for CPU _features_
only. As CPU _errata_ descriptions share the same data structure and
having an enable function is useful for errata as well (for instance
to set bits in SCTLR), lets call it when enumerating erratas too.

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.
