<content type='text'>
By enabling the MMU early in cpu_resume(), the sleep_save_sp and stack can
be accessed by VA, which avoids the need to convert-addresses and clean to
PoC on the suspend path.

MMU setup is shared with the boot path, meaning the swapper_pg_dir is
restored directly: ttbr1_el1 is no longer saved/restored.

struct sleep_save_sp is removed, replacing it with a single array of
pointers.

cpu_do_{suspend,resume} could be further reduced to not restore: cpacr_el1,
mdscr_el1, tcr_el1, vbar_el1 and sctlr_el1, all of which are set by
__cpu_setup(). However these values all contain res0 bits that may be used
to enable future features.

In order to extract NUMA information from the device tree, we need to
have the tree in its unflattened form.

Move the call to bootmem_init() in the tail of paging_init() into
setup_arch, and adjust header files so that its declaration is
visible.

Move the unflatten_device_tree() call between the calls to
paging_init() and bootmem_init().  Follow on patches add NUMA handling
to bootmem_init().

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6.  There are some relatively
  intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
  virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.

  Summary:

   - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
     mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones.  The ARM architecture
     requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
     that's not always possible on live page tables

   - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
     to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
     of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
     anywhere in physical RAM

   - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
     randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
     provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
     arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)

   - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
     (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
     but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
     dependencies)

   - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
     allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
     LDTR/STTR instructions.  Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
     perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
     The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
     privileged accesses via the UAO bit

   - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)

   - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
     run-time code patching)

   - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time

   - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
     incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g.  weird
     big.LITTLE configurations)

   - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
     sigcontext information (restored pstate information)

   - ACPI parking protocol implementation

   - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default

   - VDSO code marked as read-only

   - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

   - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

   - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC

   - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings

   - Code clean-ups"

<title>arm64: add support for kernel ASLR</title>

This adds support for KASLR is implemented, based on entropy provided by
the bootloader in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property. Depending on the size
of the address space (VA_BITS) and the page size, the entropy in the
virtual displacement is up to 13 bits (16k/2 levels) and up to 25 bits (all
4 levels), with the sidenote that displacements that result in the kernel
image straddling a 1GB/32MB/512MB alignment boundary (for 4KB/16KB/64KB
granule kernels, respectively) are not allowed, and will be rounded up to
an acceptable value.

If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is enabled, the module region is
randomized independently from the core kernel. This makes it less likely
that the location of core kernel data structures can be determined by an
adversary, but causes all function calls from modules into the core kernel
to be resolved via entries in the module PLTs.

If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not enabled, the module region is
randomized by choosing a page aligned 128 MB region inside the interval
[_etext - 128 MB, _stext + 128 MB). This gives between 10 and 14 bits of
entropy (depending on page size), independently of the kernel randomization,
but still guarantees that modules are within the range of relative branch
and jump instructions (with the caveat that, since the module region is
shared with other uses of the vmalloc area, modules may need to be loaded
further away if the module region is exhausted)

During boot we leave the idmap in place until paging_init, as we
previously had to wait for the zero page to become allocated and
accessible.

Now that we have a statically-allocated zero page, we can uninstall the
idmap much earlier in the boot process, making it far easier to spot
accidental use of physical addresses. This also brings the cold boot
path in line with the secondary boot path.

<title>arch: Set IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM flag for System RAM</title>

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.

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

* tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (91 commits)
  arm64/efi: fix libstub build under CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
  ARM64: Enable multi-core scheduler support by default
  arm64/efi: move arm64 specific stub C code to libstub
  arm64: page-align sections for DEBUG_RODATA
  arm64: Fix build with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA=n
  arm64: Fix compat register mappings
  arm64: Increase the max granular size
  arm64: remove bogus TASK_SIZE_64 check
  arm64: make Timer Interrupt Frequency selectable
  arm64/mm: use PAGE_ALIGNED instead of IS_ALIGNED
  arm64: cachetype: fix definitions of ICACHEF_* flags
  arm64: cpufeature: declare enable_cpu_capabilities as static
  genirq: Make the cpuhotplug migration code less noisy
  arm64: Constify hwcap name string arrays
  arm64/kvm: Make use of the system wide safe values
  arm64/debug: Make use of the system wide safe value
  arm64: Move FP/ASIMD hwcap handling to common code
  arm64/HWCAP: Use system wide safe values
  arm64/capabilities: Make use of system wide safe value
  arm64: Delay cpu feature capability checks
