The ldrd and strd instructions work on a pair of consecutive registers.
It is possible to specify either the first register in the pair, or both
registers explicitly. Let's always do the later to make things clearer.

Robert Jarzmik reports that his PXA25x system fails to boot with 4.12,
failing at __flush_whole_cache in arch/arm/mm/proc-xscale.S:215:

   0xc0019e20 &lt;+0&gt;:     ldr     r1, [pc, #788]
   0xc0019e24 &lt;+4&gt;:     ldr     r0, [r1]	&lt;== here

with r1 containing 0xc06f82cd, which is the address of "clean_addr".
Examination of the System.map shows:

c06f22c8 D user_pmd_table
c06f22cc d __warned.19178
c06f22cd d clean_addr

indicating that a .data.unlikely section has appeared just before the
.data section from proc-xscale.S.  According to objdump -h, it appears
that our assembly files default their .data alignment to 2**0, which
is bad news if the preceding .data section size is not power-of-2
aligned at link time.

Add the appropriate .align directives to all assembly files in arch/arm
that are missing them where we require an appropriate alignment.

<title>Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"</title>

<id>8478132a8784605fe07ede555f7277d989368d73</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 4dd1837d7589f468ed109556513f476e7a7f9121.

Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks
KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions.

While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings
us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above
change:

- We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything
  else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms
  become more fragile:
  * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in
    asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in
    the selected configuration makes use of the symbol.
  * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten,
    with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch
    the file.

- We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes,
  they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their
  exports.

As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction:
 (original commit)
 47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-)
 (fix for ksyms trimming)
 7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
 (two fixes for modversions)
 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+)
 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted.

As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach,
revert the change.

<title>ARM: 8408/1: Fix the secondary_startup function in Big Endian case</title>

<id>998ef5d81c74c752d74c7925bc370909b84adb9d</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the commit "b2c3e38a5471 ARM: redo TTBR setup code for LPAE",
the setup code had been reworked. As a result the secondary CPUs
failed to come online in Big Endian.

As explained by Russell, the new code expected the value in r4/r5 to
be the least significant 32bits in r4 and the most significant 32bits
in r5. However, in the secondary code, we load this using ldrd, which
on BE reverses that.

This patch swap r4/r5 after the ldrd. It is done using the xor
instructions in order to not use a temporary register.
