cryptsetup fails on arm64 when using kernel encryption via AF_ALG socket.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1122937

The bug is caused by incorrect handling of unaligned data in
arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c. Cryptsetup creates a buffer that is aligned
on 8 bytes, but not on 16 bytes. It opens AF_ALG socket and uses the
socket to encrypt data in the buffer. The arm64 crypto accelerator causes
data corruption or crashes in the scatterwalk_pagedone.

This patch fixes the bug by passing the residue bytes that were not
processed as the last parameter to blkcipher_walk_done.

ZONE_DMA is created to allow 32-bit only devices to access memory in the
absence of an IOMMU. On systems where the memory starts above 4GB, it is
expected that some devices have a DMA offset hardwired to be able to
access the bottom of the memory. Linux currently supports DT bindings
for the DMA offsets but they are not (easily) available early during
boot.

This patch tries to guess a DMA offset and assumes that ZONE_DMA
corresponds to the 32-bit mask above the start of DRAM.

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.

There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.

Opt in for known good archs.

include/linux/sched.h implements TASK_SIZE_OF as TASK_SIZE if it
is not set by the architecture headers.  TASK_SIZE uses the
current task to determine the size of the virtual address space.
On a 64-bit kernel this will cause reading /proc/pid/pagemap of a
64-bit process from a 32-bit process to return EOF when it reads
past 0xffffffff.

Implement TASK_SIZE_OF exactly the same as TASK_SIZE with
test_tsk_thread_flag instead of test_thread_flag.

<content type='text'>
The shared efistub code for ARM and arm64 contains a local copy of
linux_banner, allowing it to be referenced from separate executables
such as the ARM decompressor. However, this introduces a dependency on
generated header files, causing unnecessary rebuilds of the stub itself
and, in case of arm64, vmlinux which contains it.

On arm64, the copy is not actually needed since we can reference the
original symbol directly, and as it turns out, there may be better ways
to deal with this for ARM as well, so let's remove it from the shared
code. If it still needs to be reintroduced for ARM later, it should live
under arch/arm anyway and not in shared code.
