Patch series "set_memory_* functions header refactor", v3.

The set_memory_* APIs came out of a desire to have a better way to
change memory attributes.  Many of these attributes were linked to cache
functionality so the prototypes were put in cacheflush.h.  These days,
the APIs have grown and have a much wider use than just cache APIs.  To
support this growth, split off set_memory_* and friends into a separate
header file to avoid growing cacheflush.h for APIs that have nothing to
do with caches.

<title>arm64: Remove I-cache invalidation from flush_cache_range()</title>

<id>ee6a7fce8e5ecd90794ad7c9f62518c753fb3cb6</id>
<content type='text'>
The flush_cache_range() function (similarly for flush_cache_page()) is
called when the kernel is changing an existing VA-&gt;PA mapping range to
either a new PA or to different attributes. Since ARMv8 has PIPT-like
D-caches, this function does not need to perform any D-cache
maintenance. The I-cache maintenance is already handled via set_pte_at()
and flush_cache_range() cannot anyway guarantee that there are no cache
lines left after invalidation due to the speculative loads.

This patch makes flush_cache_range() a no-op.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for uprobe on ARM64 architecture.

Unit tests for following have been done so far and they have been found
working
    1. Step-able instructions, like sub, ldr, add etc.
    2. Simulation-able like ret, cbnz, cbz etc.
    3. uretprobe
    4. Reject-able instructions like sev, wfe etc.
    5. trapped and abort xol path
    6. probe at unaligned user address.
    7. longjump test cases

Currently it does not support aarch32 instruction probing.

<title>arm64: mm: convert __dma_* routines to use start, size</title>

<content type='text'>
__dma_* routines have been converted to use start and size instread of
start and end addresses. The patch was origianlly for adding
__clean_dcache_area_poc() which will be used in pmem driver to clean
dcache to the PoC(Point of Coherency) in arch_wb_cache_pmem().

The functionality of __clean_dcache_area_poc()  was equivalent to
__dma_clean_range(). The difference was __dma_clean_range() uses the end
address, but __clean_dcache_area_poc() uses the size to clean.

Thus, __clean_dcache_area_poc() has been revised with a fallthrough
function of __dma_clean_range() after the change that __dma_* routines
use start and size instead of using start and end.

As a consequence of using start and size, the name of __dma_* routines
has also been altered following the terminology below:
    area: takes a start and size
    range: takes a start and end

<title>arm64: Use PoU cache instr for I/D coherency</title>

<content type='text'>
In systems with three levels of cache(PoU at L1 and PoC at L3),
PoC cache flush instructions flushes L2 and L3 caches which could affect
performance.
For cache flushes for I and D coherency, PoU should suffice.
So changing all I and D coherency related cache flushes to PoU.

Introduced a new __clean_dcache_area_pou API for dcache flush till PoU
and provided a common macro for __flush_dcache_area and
__clean_dcache_area_pou.

Also, now in __sync_icache_dcache, icache invalidation for non-aliasing
VIPT icache is done only for that particular page instead of the earlier
__flush_icache_all.
