There are few things about *pte_alloc*() helpers worth cleaning up:
- 'vma' argument is unused, let's drop it;
- most __pte_alloc() callers do speculative check for pmd_none(),
before taking ptl: let's introduce pte_alloc() macro which does
the check.
The only direct user of __pte_alloc left is userfaultfd, which has
different expectation about atomicity wrt pmd.
- pte_alloc_map() and pte_alloc_map_lock() are redefined using
pte_alloc().

For an XIP build, _etext does not represent the end of the
binary image that needs to stay mapped into the MODULES_VADDR area.
Years ago, data came before text in the memory map. However,
now that the order is text/init/data, an XIP_KERNEL needs to map
up to the data location in order to keep from cutting off
parts of the kernel that are needed.
We only map up to the beginning of data because data has already been
copied, so there's no reason to keep it around anymore.
A new symbol is created to make it clear what it is we are referring
to.
This fixes the bug where you might lose the end of your kernel area
after page table setup is complete.

Pull ARM SoC multiplatform code updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This branch is the culmination of 5 years of effort to bring the ARMv6
and ARMv7 platforms together such that they can all be enabled and
boot the same kernel. It has been a tremendous amount of cleanup and
refactoring by a huge number of people, and creation of several new
(and major) subsystems to better abstract out all the platform details
in an appropriate manner.
The bulk of this branch is a large patchset from Arnd that brings
several of the more minor and older platforms we have closer to
multiplatform support. Among these are MMP, S3C64xx, Orion5x, mv78xx0
and realview Much of this is moving around header files from old mach
directories, but there are also some cleanup patches of debug_ll
(lowlevel debug per-platform options) and other parts.
Linus Walleij also has some patchs to clean up the older ARM Realview
platforms by finally introducing DT support, and Rob Herring has some
for ARM Versatile which is now DT-only. Both of these platforms are
now multiplatform.
Finally, a couple of patches from Russell for Dove PMU, and a fix from
Valentin Rothberg for Exynos ADC, which were rebased on top of the
series to avoid conflicts"

The VMSA field of MMFR0 (bottom 4 bits) is incremented for each
added feature. PXN is supported if the value is >= 4 and LPAE
is supported if it is >= 5.
In case a kernel with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE disabled is used on a
processor that supports LPAE, we can still use PXN in short
descriptors. So check for >= 4 not == 4.

In a multiplatform configuration, we may end up building a kernel for
both Marvell PJ1 and an ARMv4 CPU implementation. In that case, the
xscale-cp0 code is built with gcc -march=armv4{,t}, which results in a
build error from the coprocessor instructions.
Since we know this code will only have to run on an actual xscale
processor, we can simply build the entire file for ARMv5TE.
Related to this, we need to handle the iWMMXT initialization sequence
differently during boot, to ensure we don't try to touch xscale
specific registers on other CPUs from the xscale_cp0_init initcall.
cpu_is_xscale() used to be hardcoded to '1' in any configuration that
enables any XScale-compatible core, but this breaks once we can have a
combined kernel with MMP1 and something else.
In this patch, I replace the existing cpu_is_xscale() macro with a new
cpu_is_xscale_family() macro that evaluates true for xscale, xsc3 and
mohawk, which makes the behavior more deterministic.
The two existing users of cpu_is_xscale() are modified accordingly,
but slightly change behavior for kernels that enable CPU_MOHAWK without
also enabling CPU_XSCALE or CPU_XSC3. Previously, these would leave leave
PMD_BIT4 in the page tables untouched, now they clear it as we've always
done for kernels that enable both MOHAWK and the support for the older
CPU types.
Since the previous behavior was inconsistent, I assume it was
unintentional.

Install a non-faulting handler just before unmasking imprecise aborts
and switch back to the regular one after unmasking is done.
This catches any pending imprecise abort that the firmware/bootloader
may have left behind that would normally crash the kernel at that point.

This patch adds imprecise abort enable/disable macros and uses them to
enable imprecise aborts early when starting the kernel.
This helps in tracking down the real cause for such imprecise abort, as
they are handled as soon as they occur. Until now those aborts would
only be enabled when entering the userspace and as a consequence crash
the first userspace process if any abort had been raised during kernel
startup.

Add early fixmap support, initially to support permanent, fixed
mapping support for early console. A temporary, early pte is
created which is migrated to a permanent mapping in paging_init.
This is also needed since the attributes may change as the memory
types are initialized. The 3MiB range of fixmap spans two pte
tables, but currently only one pte is created for early fixmap
support.
Re-add FIX_KMAP_BEGIN to the index calculation in highmem.c since

The memblock limit is currently used in find_limits
to find the bounds for ZONE_NORMAL. The memblock
limit may need to be rounded down a PMD size to ensure
allocations are fully mapped though. This has the side
effect of reducing the amount of memory in ZONE_NORMAL.
Once all lowmem is mapped, it's safe to change the memblock
limit back to include the unaligned section. Adjust the
memblock limit after lowmem mapping is complete.

Re-implement the physical address space switching to be architecturally
compliant. This involves flushing the caches, disabling the MMU, and
only then updating the page tables. Once that is complete, the system
can be brought back up again.
Since we disable the MMU, we need to do the update in assembly code.
Luckily, the entries which need updating are fairly trivial, and are
all setup by the early assembly code. We can merely adjust each entry
by the delta required.
Not only does this fix the code to be architecturally compliant, but it
fixes a couple of bugs too:
1. The original code would only ever update the first L2 entry covering
a fraction of the kernel; the remainder were left untouched.
2. The L2 entries covering the DTB blob were likewise untouched.
This solution fixes up all entries.

At boot time we round the memblock limit down to section size in an
attempt to ensure that we will have mapped this RAM with section
mappings prior to allocating from it. When mapping RAM we iterate over
PMD-sized chunks, creating these section mappings.
Section mappings are only created when the end of a chunk is aligned to
section size. Unfortunately, with classic page tables (where PMD_SIZE is
2 * SECTION_SIZE) this means that if a chunk is between 1M and 2M in
size the first 1M will not be mapped despite having been accounted for
in the memblock limit. This has been observed to result in page tables
being allocated from unmapped memory, causing boot-time hangs.
This patch modifies the memblock limit rounding to always round down to
PMD_SIZE instead of SECTION_SIZE. For classic MMU this means that we
will round the memblock limit down to a 2M boundary, matching the limits
on section mappings, and preventing allocations from unmapped memory.
For LPAE there should be no change as PMD_SIZE == SECTION_SIZE.

Now local variables kernel_x_start and kernel_x_end defined using
'unsigned long' type which is wrong because they represent physical
memory range and will be calculated wrongly if LPAE is enabled.
As result, all following code in map_lowmem() will not work correctly.
For example, Keystone 2 boot is broken because
kernel_x_start == 0x0000 0000
kernel_x_end == 0x0080 0000
instead of
kernel_x_start == 0x0000 0008 0000 0000
kernel_x_end == 0x0000 0008 0080 0000
and as result whole low memory will be mapped with MT_MEMORY_RW
permissions by code (start > kernel_x_end):
} else if (start >= kernel_x_end) {
map.pfn = __phys_to_pfn(start);
map.virtual = __phys_to_virt(start);
map.length = end - start;
map.type = MT_MEMORY_RW;
create_mapping(&map);
}
Hence, fix it by using phys_addr_t type for variables kernel_x_start
and kernel_x_end.

not have hardware thread registers. The lack of these registers requires
the kernel to update the vectors page at each context switch in order to
write a new TLS pointer. This write must be done via the userspace
mapping, since aliasing caches can lead to expensive flushing when using
kmap. Finally, this requires the vectors page to be mapped r/w for
kernel and r/o for user, which has implications for things like put_user
which must trigger CoW appropriately when targetting user pages.
The upshot of all this is that a v6/v7 kernel makes use of domains to
segregate kernel and user memory accesses. This has the nasty
side-effect of making device mappings executable, which has been
observed to cause subtle bugs on recent cores (e.g. Cortex-A15
performing a speculative instruction fetch from the GIC and acking an
interrupt in the process).
This patch solves this problem by removing the remaining domain support
from ARMv6. A new memory type is added specifically for the vectors page
which allows that page (and only that page) to be mapped as user r/o,
kernel r/w. All other user r/o pages are mapped also as kernel r/o.
Patch co-developed with Russell King.
