<title>ARM: 8408/1: Fix the secondary_startup function in Big Endian case</title>

<content type='text'>
Since the commit "b2c3e38a5471 ARM: redo TTBR setup code for LPAE",
the setup code had been reworked. As a result the secondary CPUs
failed to come online in Big Endian.

As explained by Russell, the new code expected the value in r4/r5 to
be the least significant 32bits in r4 and the most significant 32bits
in r5. However, in the secondary code, we load this using ldrd, which
on BE reverses that.

This patch swap r4/r5 after the ldrd. It is done using the xor
instructions in order to not use a temporary register.

secondary_startup_arm is used as ARM mode secondary start up function
when ther kernel is compiled in THUMB mode, however the label itself
is still in .thumb mode. readelf shows:

160979: c020a581   120 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 secondary_startup_arm

Make sure the label is in ARM mode as well.

Re-engineer the LPAE TTBR setup code.  Rather than passing some shifted
address in order to fit in a CPU register, pass either a full physical
address (in the case of r4, r5 for TTBR0) or a PFN (for TTBR1).

This removes the ARCH_PGD_SHIFT hack, and the last dangerous user of
cpu_set_ttbr() in the secondary CPU startup code path (which was there
to re-set TTBR1 to the appropriate high physical address space on
Keystone2.)

<title>ARM: replace BSYM() with badr assembly macro</title>

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the
assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr'
instruction did not take account of their ISA.

Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new
macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM()
mechanics integrated into it.  This ensures that the BSYM()-ification
is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

<title>ARM: 8314/1: replace PROCINFO embedded branch with relative offset</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch replaces the 'branch to setup()' instructions embedded
in the PROCINFO structs with the offset to that setup function
relative to the base of the struct. This preserves the position
independent nature of that field, but uses a data item rather
than an instruction.

This is mainly done to prevent linker failures on large kernels,
where the setup function is out of reach for the branch.

Some platforms always enter the kernel in ARM mode even if the
kernel is compiled for THUMB2. Add a small wrapper on top of
secondary_startup() that switches into THUMB2 mode.
