KVM/ARM fixes for 5.0:

- Fix the way we reset vcpus, plugging the race that could happen on VHE
- Fix potentially inconsistent group setting for private interrupts
- Don't generate UNDEF when LORegion feature is present
- Relax the restriction on using stage2 PUD huge mapping
- Turn some spinlocks into raw_spinlocks to help RT compliance

The current kvm_psci_vcpu_on implementation will directly try to
manipulate the state of the VCPU to reset it.  However, since this is
not done on the thread that runs the VCPU, we can end up in a strangely
corrupted state when the source and target VCPUs are running at the same
time.

Fix this by factoring out all reset logic from the PSCI implementation
and forwarding the required information along with a request to the
target VCPU.

Arm TC2 fails cpu hotplug stress test.

This issue was tracked down to a missing copy of the new affinity
cpumask for the vexpress-spc interrupt into struct
irq_common_data.affinity when the interrupt is migrated in
migrate_one_irq().

Fix it by replacing the arm specific hotplug cpu migration with the
generic irq code.

This is the counterpart implementation to commit 217d453d473c ("arm64:
fix a migrating irq bug when hotplug cpu").

Tested with cpu hotplug stress test on Arm TC2 (multi_v7_defconfig plus
CONFIG_ARM_BIG_LITTLE_CPUFREQ=y and CONFIG_ARM_VEXPRESS_SPC_CPUFREQ=y).
The vexpress-spc interrupt (irq=22) on this board is affine to CPU0.
Its affinity cpumask now changes correctly e.g. from 0 to 1-4 when
CPU0 is hotplugged out.

Xen-swiotlb hooks into the arm/arm64 arch code through a copy of the DMA
DMA mapping operations stored in the struct device arch data.

Switching arm64 to use the direct calls for the merged DMA direct /
swiotlb code broke this scheme.  Replace the indirect calls with
direct-calls in xen-swiotlb as well to fix this problem.

     lack of kernel-userspace helpers was hard to diagnose; we now issue
     a warning when userspace tries to use the helpers but the kernel
     has them disabled.

   - Ben Dooks wants compatibility for the old ATAG serial number with
     DT systems.

   - Some cleanup of assembly by Nicolas Pitre.

   - User accessors optimisation from Vincent Whitchurch.

   - More robust kdump on SMP systems from Yufen Wang.

   - Sebastian Andrzej Siewior noticed problems with the SMP "boot_lock"
     on RT kernels, and so we convert the Versatile series of platforms
     to use a raw spinlock instead, consolidating the Versatile
     implementation. We entirely remove the boot_lock on OMAP systems,
     where it's unnecessary. Further patches for other systems will be
     submitted for the following merge window.

   - Start switching old StrongARM-11x0 systems to use gpiolib rather
     than their private GPIO implementation - mostly PCMCIA bits.

   - ARM Kconfig cleanups.

   - Cleanup a mostly harmless mistake in the recent Spectre patch in
     4.20 (which had the effect that data that can be placed into the
     init sections was incorrectly always placed in the rodata section)"

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
