Commit eaecca9e7710 ("arm64: Fix __cpu_logical_map undefined issue")
exported cpu_logical_map in order to fix tegra194-cpufreq module build
failure.

As this might potentially cause problem while supporting physical CPU
hotplug, tegra194-cpufreq module was reworded to avoid use of
cpu_logical_map() via the commit 93d0c1ab2328 ("cpufreq: replace
cpu_logical_map() with read_cpuid_mpir()")

Since cpu_logical_map was exported to fix the module build temporarily,
let us remove the same before it gains any user again.

The __cpu_logical_map undefined issue occued when the new
tegra194-cpufreq drvier building as a module.

ERROR: modpost: "__cpu_logical_map" [drivers/cpufreq/tegra194-cpufreq.ko] undefined!

The driver using cpu_logical_map() macro which will expand to
__cpu_logical_map, we can't access it in a drvier. Let's turn
cpu_logical_map() into a C wrapper and export it to fix the
build issue.

Also create a function set_cpu_logical_map(cpu, hwid) when assign
a value to cpu_logical_map(cpu).

<title>kasan, arm64: don't instrument functions that enable kasan</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch prepares Software Tag-Based KASAN for stack tagging support.

With stack tagging enabled, KASAN tags stack variable in each function in
its prologue.  In start_kernel() stack variables get tagged before KASAN
is enabled via setup_arch()-&gt;kasan_init().  As the result the tags for
start_kernel()'s stack variables end up in the temporary shadow memory.
Later when KASAN gets enabled, switched to normal shadow, and starts
checking tags, this leads to false-positive reports, as proper tags are
missing in normal shadow.

Disable KASAN instrumentation for start_kernel().  Also disable it for
arm64's setup_arch() as a precaution (it doesn't have any stack variables
right now).

<title>arm64/panic: Unify all three existing notifier blocks</title>

Currently there are three different registered panic notifier blocks. This
unifies all of them into a single one i.e arm64_panic_block, hence reducing
code duplication and required calling sequence during panic. This preserves
the existing dump sequence. While here, just use device_initcall() directly
instead of __initcall() which has been a legacy alias for the earlier. This
replacement is a pure cleanup with no functional implications.

<title>arm64: warn on incorrect placement of the kernel by the bootloader</title>

Commit cfa7ede20f133c ("arm64: set TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0 in preparation for
removing it entirely") results in boot failures when booting kernels that
are built without KASLR support on broken bootloaders that ignore the
TEXT_OFFSET value passed via the header, and use the default of 0x80000
instead.

To work around this, turn CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on by default, even if KASLR
itself (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) is turned off, and require CONFIG_EXPERT
to be enabled to deviate from this. Then, emit a warning into the kernel
log if we are not booting via the EFI stub (which is permitted to deviate
from the placement restrictions) and the kernel base address is not placed
according to the rules as laid out in Documentation/arm64/booting.rst.

This introduces get_cpu_ops() to return the CPU operations according to
the given CPU index. For now, it simply returns the @cpu_ops[cpu] as
before. Also, helper function __cpu_try_die() is introduced to be shared
by cpu_die() and ipi_cpu_crash_stop(). So it shouldn't introduce any
functional changes.

This renames cpu_read_ops() to init_cpu_ops() as the function is only
called in initialization phase. Also, we will introduce get_cpu_ops() in
the subsequent patches, to retireve the CPU operation by the given CPU
index. The usage of cpu_read_ops() and get_cpu_ops() are difficult to be

<title>arm64: Use a variable to store non-global mappings decision</title>

<content type='text'>
Refactor the code which checks to see if we need to use non-global
mappings to use a variable instead of checking with the CPU capabilities
each time, doing the initial check for KPTI early in boot before we
start allocating memory so we still avoid transitioning to non-global
mappings in common cases.

Since this variable always matches our decision about non-global
mappings this means we can also combine arm64_kernel_use_ng_mappings()
and arm64_unmap_kernel_at_el0() into a single function, the variable
simply stores the result and the decision code is elsewhere. We could
just have the users check the variable directly but having a function
makes it clear that these uses are read-only.

The result is that we simplify the code a bit and reduces the amount of
code executed at runtime.
