We need to have memory dependencies on get_domain/set_domain to avoid
the compiler over-optimising these inline assembly instructions.

Loads/stores must not be reordered across a set_domain(), so introduce
a compiler barrier for that assembly.

The value of get_domain() must not be cached across a set_domain(), but
we still want to allow the compiler to optimise it away.  Introduce a
dependency on current_thread_info()-&gt;cpu_domain to avoid this; the new
memory clobber in set_domain() should therefore cause the compiler to
re-load this.  The other advantage of using this is we should have its
address in the register set already, or very soon after at most call
sites.

<title>ARM: software-based priviledged-no-access support</title>

<content type='text'>
Provide a software-based implementation of the priviledged no access
support found in ARMv8.1.

Userspace pages are mapped using a different domain number from the
kernel and IO mappings.  If we switch the user domain to "no access"
when we enter the kernel, we can prevent the kernel from touching
userspace.

However, the kernel needs to be able to access userspace via the
various user accessor functions.  With the wrapping in the previous
patch, we can temporarily enable access when the kernel needs user
access, and re-disable it afterwards.

This allows us to trap non-intended accesses to userspace, eg, caused
by an inadvertent dereference of the LIST_POISON* values, which, with
appropriate user mappings setup, can be made to succeed.  This in turn
can allow use-after-free bugs to be further exploited than would
otherwise be possible.

Keep the machine vectors in its own domain to avoid software based
user access control from making the vector code inaccessible, and
thereby deadlocking the machine.

Since we switched to early trap initialisation in 94e5a85b3be0
("ARM: earlier initialization of vectors page") we haven't been writing
directly to the vectors page, and so there's no need for this domain
to be in manager mode.  Switch it to client mode.

Provide a macro to generate the mask for a domain, rather than using
domain_val(, DOMAIN_MANAGER) which won't work when CPU_USE_DOMAINS
is turned off.

Rather than modifying both the domain access control register and our
per-thread copy, modify only the domain access control register, and
use the per-thread copy to save and restore the register over context
switches.  We can also avoid the explicit initialisation of the
init thread_info structure.

This allows us to avoid needing to gain access to the thread information
at the uaccess control sites.
