The Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies Falkor v1 CPU may allocate TLB entries
using an incorrect ASID when TTBRx_EL1 is being updated. When the erratum
is triggered, page table entries using the new translation table base
address (BADDR) will be allocated into the TLB using the old ASID. All
circumstances leading to the incorrect ASID being cached in the TLB arise
when software writes TTBRx_EL1[ASID] and TTBRx_EL1[BADDR], a memory
operation is in the process of performing a translation using the specific
TTBRx_EL1 being written, and the memory operation uses a translation table
descriptor designated as non-global. EL2 and EL3 code changing the EL1&amp;0
ASID is not subject to this erratum because hardware is prohibited from
performing translations from an out-of-context translation regime.

Consider the following pseudo code.

  write new BADDR and ASID values to TTBRx_EL1

Replacing the above sequence with the one below will ensure that no TLB
entries with an incorrect ASID are used by software.

  write reserved value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID]
  ISB
  write new value to TTBRx_EL1[BADDR]
  ISB
  write new value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID]
  ISB

When the above sequence is used, page table entries using the new BADDR
value may still be incorrectly allocated into the TLB using the reserved
ASID. Yet this will not reduce functionality, since TLB entries incorrectly
tagged with the reserved ASID will never be hit by a later instruction.

When CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL=y, the offset between loaded
modules and the core kernel may exceed 4 GB, putting symbols exported
by the core kernel out of the reach of the ordinary adrp/add instruction
pairs used to generate relative symbol references. So make the adr_l
macro emit a movz/movk sequence instead when executing in module context.

While at it, remove the pointless special case for the stack pointer.

<title>arm64: Introduce uaccess_{disable,enable} functionality based on TTBR0_EL1</title>

This patch adds the uaccess macros/functions to disable access to user
space by setting TTBR0_EL1 to a reserved zeroed page. Since the value
written to TTBR0_EL1 must be a physical address, for simplicity this
patch introduces a reserved_ttbr0 page at a constant offset from
swapper_pg_dir. The uaccess_disable code uses the ttbr1_el1 value
adjusted by the reserved_ttbr0 offset.

Enabling access to user is done by restoring TTBR0_EL1 with the value
from the struct thread_info ttbr0 variable. Interrupts must be disabled
during the uaccess_ttbr0_enable code to ensure the atomicity of the
thread_info.ttbr0 read and TTBR0_EL1 write. This patch also moves the
get_thread_info asm macro from entry.S to assembler.h for reuse in the
uaccess_ttbr0_* macros.

Shortly we will want to load a percpu variable in the return from
userspace path. We can save an instruction by folding the addition of
the percpu offset into the load instruction, and this patch adds a new
helper to do so.

At the same time, we clean up this_cpu_ptr for consistency. As with
{adr,ldr,str}_l, we change the template to take the destination register
first, and name this dst. Secondly, we rename the macro to adr_this_cpu,
following the scheme of adr_l, and matching the newly added
ldr_this_cpu.

NOP sequences tend to get used for padding out alternative sections
and uarch-specific pipeline flushes in errata workarounds.

This patch adds macros for generating these sequences as both inline
asm blocks, but also as strings suitable for embedding in other asm
blocks directly.

Systems with differing CPU i-cache/d-cache line sizes can cause
problems with the cache management by software when the execution
is migrated from one to another. Usually, the application reads
the cache size on a CPU and then uses that length to perform cache
operations. However, if it gets migrated to another CPU with a smaller
cache line size, things could go completely wrong. To prevent such
cases, always use the smallest cache line size among the CPUs. The
kernel CPU feature infrastructure already keeps track of the safe
value for all CPUID registers including CTR. This patch works around
the problem by :

For kernel, dynamically patch the kernel to read the cache size
from the system wide copy of CTR_EL0.

For applications, trap read accesses to CTR_EL0 (by clearing the SCTLR.UCT)
and emulate the mrs instruction to return the system wide safe value
of CTR_EL0.

For faster access (i.e, avoiding to lookup the system wide value of CTR_EL0
via read_system_reg), we keep track of the pointer to table entry for
CTR_EL0 in the CPU feature infrastructure.

On systems with mismatched i/d cache min line sizes, we need to use
the smallest size possible across all CPUs. This will be done by fetching
the system wide safe value from CPU feature infrastructure.
However the some special users(e.g kexec, hibernate) would need the line
size on the CPU (rather than the system wide), when either the system
wide feature may not be accessible or it is guranteed that the caller
executes with a gurantee of no migration.
Provide another helper which will fetch cache line size on the current CPU.

executes with a gurantee of no migration.
Provide another helper which will fetch cache line size on the current CPU.

The newly introduced dcache_by_line_op macro is used at least in
one occassion at the moment to issue a "dc cvau" instruction,
which is affected by ARM errata 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069.
Change the macro to allow for alternative patching in there to
protect affected Cortex-A53 cores.
