When handling a fault in stage-2, we need to resync I$ and D$, just
to be sure we don't leave any old cache line behind.

That's very good, except that we do so using the *user* address.
Under heavy load (swapping like crazy), we may end up in a situation
where the page gets mapped in stage-2 while being unmapped from
userspace by another CPU.

At that point, the DC/IC instructions can generate a fault, which
we handle with kvm-&gt;mmu_lock held. The box quickly deadlocks, user
is unhappy.

Instead, perform this invalidation through the kernel mapping,
which is guaranteed to be present. The box is much happier, and so
am I.

Let's assume a guest has created an uncached mapping, and written
to that page. Let's also assume that the host uses a cache-coherent
IO subsystem. Let's finally assume that the host is under memory
pressure and starts to swap things out.

Before this "uncached" page is evicted, we need to make sure
we invalidate potential speculated, clean cache lines that are
sitting there, or the IO subsystem is going to swap out the
cached view, loosing the data that has been written directly
into memory.

<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.

With 841ee230253f ("ARM: wire up execveat syscall"), arch/arm/ has grown
support for the execveat system call.

This patch wires up the compat variant for arm64.

Commit b856a59141b1 (arm/arm64: KVM: Reset the HCR on each vcpu
when resetting the vcpu) moved the init of the HCR register to
happen later in the init of a vcpu, but left out the fixup
done in kvm_reset_vcpu when preparing for a 32bit guest.

As a result, the 32bit guest is run as a 64bit guest, but the
rest of the kernel still manages it as a 32bit. Fun follows.

Moving the fixup to vcpu_reset_hcr solves the problem for good.

We don't currently check a number of registers exposed to AArch32 guests
(MVFR{0,1,2}_EL1 and ID_DFR0_EL1), despite the fact these describe
AArch32 feature support exposed to userspace and KVM guests similarly to
AArch64 registers which we do check. We do not expect these registers to
vary across a set of CPUs.

This patch adds said registers to the cpuinfo framework and sanity
checks. No sanity check failures have been observed on a current ARMv8
big.LITTLE platform (Juno).
