<title>ARM: 7980/1: kernel: improve error message when LPAE config doesn't match CPU</title>

<id>b3634575930857724d5c3987a2739b0637999b4e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when the kernel is configured with LPAE support, but the
CPU doesn't support it, the error message is fairly cryptic:

  Error: unrecognized/unsupported processor variant (0x561f5811).

This messages is normally shown when there is an issue when comparing
the processor ID (CP15 0, c0, c0) with the values/masks described in
proc-v7.S. However, the same message is displayed when LPAE support is
enabled in the kernel configuration, but not available in the CPU,
after looking at ID_MMFR0 (CP15 0, c0, c1, 4). Having the same error
message is highly misleading.

This commit improves this by showing a different error message when
this situation occurs:

  Error: Kernel with LPAE support, but CPU does not support LPAE.

The pgtbl macro couldn't handle the specific
(TEXT_OFFSET - PG_DIR_SIZE) value that the combination of
MSM platforms and LPAE created:

head.S:163: Error: invalid constant (203000) after fixup

Regardless of whether this combination of configuration options
will work on currently support platforms at run time, make it
at least assemble properly.

Fix patching code to convert mov instruction into mvn instruction
in case of CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT and CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT.

In BE case store into r0 proper bits so byte swapped instruction
could be modified correctly.

    ARM: mm: Correct virt_to_phys patching for 64 bit physical addresses

introduced a __ARMEB__ macro usage in a new place, but missed the second
underscore. So correcting it here.

Also a explicit .align keyword is needed for the label with .long
data-type to be aligned on the 4 byte boundary. Otherwise this can
cause problem for thumb2 build. So adding it here.

If we are booting in LE and compiled for BE8, then add code to
set the state to bE8. Since the instruction stream is always LE,
we do not need to do anything special to the instruction.

Also ensure that the secondary processors are started in the same mode.

Note, we do add about 20 bytes to the kernel image, but it seems easier
to do this than adding another configuration to change.

<id>2f9bf9beddb1649485b47302a5aba9761cbc9084</id>
<content type='text'>
The fixup_pv_table assumes that the instructions are in the same
endian configuration as the data, but when the CPU is running in
BE8 the instructions stay in little-endian format.

Make sure if CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 is set that we do all the
alterations to the instructions taking in to account the LDR/STR
will be swapping the data endian-ness.

Since the code is only modifying a byte, we avoid dual-swapping
the data, and just change the bits we clear and ORR in (in the
case where the code is not thumb2).

For thumb2, we add the necessary rev16 instructions to ensure that
the instructions are processed in the correct format, as it was
easier than re-writing the code to contain a mask and shift.
