KVM/ARM Fixes for v4.15.

Fixes:
 - A number of issues in the vgic discovered using SMATCH
 - A bit one-off calculation in out stage base address mask (32-bit and
   64-bit)
 - Fixes to single-step debugging instructions that trap for other
   reasons such as MMMIO aborts
 - Printing unavailable hyp mode as error
 - Potential spinlock deadlock in the vgic
 - Avoid calling vgic vcpu free more than once
 - Broken bit calculation for big endian systems

<title>mm: switch to 'define pmd_write' instead of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE</title>

In response to compile breakage introduced by a series that added the
pud_write helper to x86, Stephen notes:

    did you consider using the other paradigm:

    In arch include files:
    #define pud_write       pud_write
    static inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
     .....

    Then in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:

    #ifndef pud_write
    tatic inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
    {
            ....
    }
    #endif

    If you had, then the powerpc code would have worked ... ;-) and many
    of the other interfaces in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h are
    protected that way ...

Given that some architecture already define pmd_write() as a macro, it's
a net reduction to drop the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE.

After emulating instructions we may want return to user-space to handle
single-step debugging. Introduce a helper function, which, if
single-step is enabled, sets the run structure for return and returns
true.

<title>arm: KVM: Fix VTTBR_BADDR_MASK BUG_ON off-by-one</title>

VTTBR_BADDR_MASK is used to sanity check the size and alignment of the
VTTBR address. It seems to currently be off by one, thereby only
allowing up to 39-bit addresses (instead of 40-bit) and also
insufficiently checking the alignment. This patch fixes it.

This patch is the 32bit pendent of Kristina's arm64 fix, and
she deserves the actual kudos for pinpointing that one.

Detect if we are returning to usermode via the normal kernel exit paths
but the saved PSR value indicates that we are in kernel mode.  This
could occur due to corrupted stack state, which has been observed with
"ftracetest".

This ensures that we catch the problem case before we get to user code.

 "Most of the commits are for defconfig changes, to enable newly added
  drivers or features that people have started using. For the changed

  Versatile, EP93xx, Samsung, Broadcom, i.MX, and Actions.

  The largest single change is the introduction of the TI "sysc" bus
  driver, with the intention of cleaning up more legacy code.

  Two new SoC platforms get added this time:

   - Allwinner R40 is a modernized version of the A20 chip, now with a
     Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A7. According to the manufacturer, it is
     intended for "Smart Hardware"

   - Broadcom Hurricane 2 (Aka Strataconnect BCM5334X) is a family of
     chips meant for managed gigabit ethernet switches, based around a
     Cortex-A9 CPU.

  Finally, we gain SMP support for two platforms: Renesas R-Car E2 and
  Amlogic Meson8/8b, which were previously added but only supported
  uniprocessor operation"

   - Optimized arch timer handling for KVM/ARM
   - Improvements to the VGIC ITS code and introduction of an ITS reset
     ioctl

     added as a pre-requisite
   - Resolution of merge conflicts with the last second 4.14 HPT fixes
   - Fixes and cleanups

  s390:
   - Some initial preparation patches for exitless interrupts and crypto
   - New capability for AIS migration

Pull KVM updates from Radim Krčmář:
 "First batch of KVM changes for 4.15

  Common:
   - Python 3 support in kvm_stat
   - Accounting of slabs to kmemcg

  ARM:
   - Optimized arch timer handling for KVM/ARM
   - Improvements to the VGIC ITS code and introduction of an ITS reset
     ioctl
   - Unification of the 32-bit fault injection logic
   - More exact external abort matching logic

  PPC:
   - Support for running hashed page table (HPT) MMU mode on a host that
     is using the radix MMU mode; single threaded mode on POWER 9 is
     added as a pre-requisite
   - Resolution of merge conflicts with the last second 4.14 HPT fixes
   - Fixes and cleanups

  s390:
   - Some initial preparation patches for exitless interrupts and crypto
   - New capability for AIS migration
   - Fixes

  x86:
   - Improved emulation of LAPIC timer mode changes, MCi_STATUS MSRs,
     and after-reset state
   - Refined dependencies for VMX features
   - Fixes for nested SMI injection
   - A lot of cleanups"

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - add support for ELF fdpic binaries on both MMU and noMMU platforms

 - linker script cleanups

 - support for compressed .data section for XIP images

 - discard memblock arrays when possible

 - various cleanups

 - atomic DMA pool updates

 - better diagnostics of missing/corrupt device tree

 - export information to allow userspace kexec tool to place images more
   inteligently, so that the device tree isn't overwritten by the
   booting kernel

 - make early_printk more efficient on semihosted systems

 - noMMU cleanups

 - SA1111 PCMCIA update in preparation for further cleanups
