<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Use set/way op trapping to track the state of the caches</title>

Trying to emulate the behaviour of set/way cache ops is fairly
pointless, as there are too many ways we can end-up missing stuff.
Also, there is some system caches out there that simply ignore
set/way operations.

So instead of trying to implement them, let's convert it to VA ops,
and use them as a way to re-enable the trapping of VM ops. That way,
we can detect the point when the MMU/caches are turned off, and do
a full VM flush (which is what the guest was trying to do anyway).

This allows a 32bit zImage to boot on the APM thingy, and will
probably help bootloaders in general.

is_valid_cache returns true if the specified cache is valid.
Unfortunately, if the parameter passed it out of range, we return
-ENOENT, which ends up as true leading to potential hilarity.

This patch returns false on the failure path instead.

Fix code that handles KVM_SET_ONE_REG, KVM_GET_ONE_REG ioctls to work in BE
image. Before this fix get/set_one_reg functions worked correctly only in
LE case - reg_from_user was taking 'void *' kernel address that actually could
be target/source memory of either 4 bytes size or 8 bytes size, and code copied
from/to user memory that could hold either 4 bytes register, 8 byte register
or pair of 4 bytes registers.

In order to work in endian agnostic way reg_from_user to reg_to_user functions
should copy register value only to kernel variable with size that matches
register size. In few place where size mismatch existed fix issue on macro
caller side.

In order to be able to detect the point where the guest enables
its MMU and caches, trap all the VM related system registers.

Once we see the guest enabling both the MMU and the caches, we
can go back to a saner mode of operation, which is to leave these
registers in complete control of the guest.

<title>ARM: KVM: fix handling of trapped 64bit coprocessor accesses</title>

Commit 240e99cbd00a (ARM: KVM: Fix 64-bit coprocessor handling)
changed the way we match the 64bit coprocessor access from
user space, but didn't update the trap handler for the same
set of registers.

The effect is that a trapped 64bit access is never matched, leading
to a fault being injected into the guest. This went unnoticed as we
didn't really trap any 64bit register so far.

Placing the CRm field of the access into the CRn field of the matching
structure fixes the problem. Also update the debug feature to emit the
expected string in case of failing match.

This patch adds support for running Cortex-A7 guests on Cortex-A7 hosts.

As Cortex-A7 is architecturally compatible with A15, this patch is largely just
generalising existing code. Areas where 'implementation defined' behaviour
is identical for A7 and A15 is moved to allow it to be used by both cores.

The check to ensure that coprocessor register tables are sorted correctly is
also moved in to 'common' code to avoid each new cpu doing its own check
(and possibly forgetting to do so!)

The PAR was exported as CRn == 7 and CRm == 0, but in fact the primary
coprocessor register number was determined by CRm for 64-bit coprocessor
registers as the user space API was modeled after the coprocessor
access instructions (see the ARM ARM rev. C - B3-1445).

However, just changing the CRn to CRm breaks the sorting check when
booting the kernel, because the internal kernel logic always treats CRn
as the primary register number, and it makes the table sorting
impossible to understand for humans.

Alternatively we could change the logic to always have CRn == CRm, but
that becomes unclear in the number of ways we do look up of a coprocessor
register.  We could also have a separate 64-bit table but that feels
somewhat over-engineered.  Instead, keep CRn the primary representation
of the primary coproc. register number in-kernel and always export the
primary number as CRm as per the existing user space ABI.

Note: The TTBR registers just magically worked because they happened to
follow the CRn(0) regs and were considered CRn(0) in the in-kernel
representation.
