The GIC register accesses today make use of readl()/writel()
which prove to be very expensive when used along with mandatory
barriers. This mandatory barriers also introduces an un-necessary
and expensive l2x0_sync() operation. On Cortex-A9 MP cores, GIC
IO accesses from CPU are direct and doesn't go through L2X0 write
buffer.
A DSB before writel_relaxed() in gic_raise_softirq() is added to be
compliant with the Barrier Litmus document - the mailbox scenario.

Currently, the gic uses handle_level_irq for handling SPIs (Shared
Peripheral Interrupts), requiring active interrupts to be masked at
the distributor level during IRQ handling.
On a virtualised system, only the CPU interfaces are virtualised in
hardware. Accesses to the distributor must be trapped by the
hypervisor, adding latency to the critical interrupt path in Linux.
This patch modifies the GIC code to use handle_fasteoi_irq for handling
interrupts, which only requires us to signal EOI to the CPU interface
when handling is complete. Cascaded IRQ handling is also updated to use
the chained IRQ enter/exit functions to honour the flow control of the
parent chip.
Note that commit 846afbd1 ("GIC: Dont disable INT in ack callback")
broke cascading interrupts by forgetting to add IRQ masking. This is
no longer an issue because the unmask call is now unnecessary.
Tested on Versatile Express and Realview EB (1176 w/ cascaded GICs).

To be able to relocate the .bss section at run time independently from
the rest of the code, we must make sure that no GOTOFF relocations are
used with .bss symbols. This usually means that no global variables can
be marked static unless they're also const.
To enforce this, suffice to fail the build whenever a private symbol
is allocated to .bss and list those symbols for convenience.
The user_stack and user_stack_end labels in head.S were converted into
non exported symbols to remove false positives.

Let's remove the static qualifier from current offenders, or turn them
into const variables when possible. Next commit will ensure the build
fails if one of those is reintroduced due to otherwise enforced coding
standards for the kernel.

The return value for decompress_kernel() is no longer used. Furthermore,

In commit d239b1dc093d the hardcoded 4x estimate for the decompressed
kernel size was replaced by the exact Image file size and passed to
the linker as a symbol value. Turns out that this is unneeded as the
size is already included at the end of the compressed piggy data.
For those compressed formats that don't include this data, the build
system already takes care of appending it using size_append in
scripts/Makefile.lib. So let's use that instead.

If the zImage load address is slightly below the relocation address,
there is a risk for the copied data to overwrite the copy loop or
cache flush code that the relocation process requires. Always
bump the relocation address by the size of that code to avoid this
issue.
Noticed by Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>.
While at it, let's start the copy from the restart symbol which makes
the above code size computation possible by the assembler directly
(same sections), given that we don't need to preserve the code before
that point anyway. And therefore we don't need to carry the _start
pointer in r5 anymore.

Otherwise cache_clean_flush can overwrite some of the relocated

With ARMv5+ and EABI, the compiler expects a 64-bit aligned stack so
instructions like STRD and LDRD can be used. Without this, mysterious
boot failures were seen semi randomly with the LZMA decompressor.
While at it, let's align .bss as well.

When CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is set, the wrapper for semtimedop does not
bound the nsops argument. A sufficiently large value will cause an
integer overflow in allocation size, followed by copying too much data
into the allocated buffer. Fix this by restricting nsops to SEMOPM.
Untested.

The instruction decoding in space_cccc_000x needs to reject probing of
instructions with undefined patterns as they may in future become
defined and then emulated faultily - as has already happened with the
SMC instruction.
This fix is achieved by testing for the instruction patterns we want to
probe and making the the default fall-through paths reject probes. This
also allows us to remove some explicit tests for instructions that we
wish to reject, as that is now the default action.

The emulation of SETEND was broken as it changed the endianess for

The kernel doesn't currently support VFP or Neon code, and probing of
code with CP15 operations is fraught with bad consequences. Therefore we
don't need the ability to probe coprocessor instructions and the code to
support this can be removed.
The removed code also had at least two bugs:
- MRC into R15 should set CPSR not trash PC
- LDC and STC which use PC as base register needed the address offset by 8

The decoding of these instructions got the register indexed and
immediate indexed forms the wrong way around, causing incorrect
emulation.
Instructions like "LDRD Rx, [Rx]" were corrupting Rx because the base
register writeback was being performed unconditionally, overwriting the
value just loaded from memory. The fix is to only writeback the base
register when that form of the instruction is used. Note, now that we
reject probing writeback with PC the emulation code doesn't need the
check rn!=15.
