Future CPUs may implement a clearbhb instruction that is sufficient
to mitigate SpectreBHB. CPUs that implement this instruction, but
not CSV2.3 must be affected by Spectre-BHB.

Add support to use this instruction as the BHB mitigation on CPUs
that support it. The instruction is in the hint space, so it will
be treated by a NOP as older CPUs.

<title>arm64: Add percpu vectors for EL1</title>

<content type='text'>
The Spectre-BHB workaround adds a firmware call to the vectors. This
is needed on some CPUs, but not others. To avoid the unaffected CPU in
a big/little pair from making the firmware call, create per cpu vectors.

The per-cpu vectors only apply when returning from EL0.

Systems using KPTI can use the canonical 'full-fat' vectors directly at
EL1, the trampoline exit code will switch to this_cpu_vector on exit to
EL0. Systems not using KPTI should always use this_cpu_vector.

this_cpu_vector will point at a vector in tramp_vecs or
__bp_harden_el1_vectors, depending on whether KPTI is in use.

<title>arm64: entry: Add macro for reading symbol addresses from the trampoline</title>

The trampoline code needs to use the address of symbols in the wider
kernel, e.g. vectors. PC-relative addressing wouldn't work as the
trampoline code doesn't run at the address the linker expected.

tramp_ventry uses a literal pool, unless CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is
set, in which case it uses the data page as a literal pool because
the data page can be unmapped when running in user-space, which is
required for CPUs vulnerable to meltdown.

Pull this logic out as a macro, instead of adding a third copy
of it.

Some CPUs affected by Spectre-BHB need a sequence of branches, or a
firmware call to be run before any indirect branch. This needs to go
in the vectors. No CPU needs both.

While this can be patched in, it would run on all CPUs as there is a
single set of vectors. If only one part of a big/little combination is
affected, the unaffected CPUs have to run the mitigation too.

Create extra vectors that include the sequence. Subsequent patches will
allow affected CPUs to select this set of vectors. Later patches will
modify the loop count to match what the CPU requires.

kpti is an optional feature, for systems not using kpti a set of
vectors for the spectre-bhb mitigations is needed.

Add another set of vectors, __bp_harden_el1_vectors, that will be
used if a mitigation is needed and kpti is not in use.

The EL1 ventries are repeated verbatim as there is no additional
work needed for entry from EL1.

Adding a second set of vectors to .entry.tramp.text will make it
larger than a single 4K page.

Allow the trampoline text to occupy up to three pages by adding two
more fixmap slots. Previous changes to tramp_valias allowed it to reach
beyond a single page.

Spectre-BHB needs to add sequences to the vectors. Having one global
set of vectors is a problem for big/little systems where the sequence
is costly on cpus that are not vulnerable.

Making the vectors per-cpu in the style of KVM's bh_harden_hyp_vecs
requires the vectors to be generated by macros.

Make the kpti re-mapping of the kernel optional, so the macros can be
used without kpti.

The tramp_ventry macro uses tramp_vectors as the address of the vectors
when calculating which ventry in the 'full fat' vectors to branch to.

While there is one set of tramp_vectors, this will be true.
Adding multiple sets of vectors will break this assumption.

Move the generation of the vectors to a macro, and pass the start

Systems using kpti enter and exit the kernel through a trampoline mapping
that is always mapped, even when the kernel is not. tramp_valias is a macro
to find the address of a symbol in the trampoline mapping.

Adding extra sets of vectors will expand the size of the entry.tramp.text
section to beyond 4K. tramp_valias will be unable to generate addresses
for symbols beyond 4K as it uses the 12 bit immediate of the add
instruction.

As there are now two registers available when tramp_alias is called,
use the extra register to avoid the 4K limit of the 12 bit immediate.
