Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6.  There are some relatively
  intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
  virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.

  Summary:

   - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
     mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones.  The ARM architecture
     requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
     that's not always possible on live page tables

   - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
     to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
     of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
     anywhere in physical RAM

   - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
     randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
     provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
     arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)

   - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
     (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
     but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
     dependencies)

   - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
     allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
     LDTR/STTR instructions.  Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
     perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
     The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
     privileged accesses via the UAO bit

   - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)

   - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
     run-time code patching)

   - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time

   - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
     incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g.  weird
     big.LITTLE configurations)

   - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
     sigcontext information (restored pstate information)

   - ACPI parking protocol implementation

   - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default

   - VDSO code marked as read-only

   - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

   - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

   - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC

   - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings

   - Code clean-ups"

<title>arch/hotplug: Call into idle with a proper state</title>

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.

<title>arm64: Handle early CPU boot failures</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bb9052744f4b7ae11d0061ac9492dd2949981b49</id>
<content type='text'>
A secondary CPU could fail to come online due to insufficient
capabilities and could simply die or loop in the kernel.
e.g, a CPU with no support for the selected kernel PAGE_SIZE
loops in kernel with MMU turned off.
or a hotplugged CPU which doesn't have one of the advertised
system capability will die during the activation.

There is no way to synchronise the status of the failing CPU
back to the master. This patch solves the issue by adding a
field to the secondary_data which can be updated by the failing
CPU. If the secondary CPU fails even before turning the MMU on,
it updates the status in a special variable reserved in the head.txt
section to make sure that the update can be cache invalidated safely
without possible sharing of cache write back granule.

Here are the possible states :

 -1. CPU_MMU_OFF - Initial value set by the master CPU, this value
indicates that the CPU could not turn the MMU on, hence the status
could not be reliably updated in the secondary_data. Instead, the
CPU has updated the status @ __early_cpu_boot_status.

 0. CPU_BOOT_SUCCESS - CPU has booted successfully.

 1. CPU_KILL_ME - CPU has invoked cpu_ops-&gt;die, indicating the
master CPU to synchronise by issuing a cpu_ops-&gt;cpu_kill.

 2. CPU_STUCK_IN_KERNEL - CPU couldn't invoke die(), instead is
looping in the kernel. This information could be used by say,
kexec to check if it is really safe to do a kexec reboot.

 3. CPU_PANIC_KERNEL - CPU detected some serious issues which
requires kernel to crash immediately. The secondary CPU cannot
call panic() until it has initialised the GIC. This flag can
be used to instruct the master to do so.

<id>urn:sha1:5e89c55e4ed81d7abb1ce8828db35fa389dc0e90</id>
<content type='text'>
The SBBR and ACPI specifications allow ACPI based systems that do not
implement PSCI (eg systems with no EL3) to boot through the ACPI parking
protocol specification[1].

This patch implements the ACPI parking protocol CPU operations, and adds
code that eases parsing the parking protocol data structures to the
ARM64 SMP initializion carried out at the same time as cpus enumeration.

To wake-up the CPUs from the parked state, this patch implements a
wakeup IPI for ARM64 (ie arch_send_wakeup_ipi_mask()) that mirrors the
ARM one, so that a specific IPI is sent for wake-up purpose in order
to distinguish it from other IPI sources.

Given the current ACPI MADT parsing API, the patch implements a glue
layer that helps passing MADT GICC data structure from SMP initialization
code to the parking protocol implementation somewhat overriding the CPU
operations interfaces. This to avoid creating a completely trasparent
DT/ACPI CPU operations layer that would require creating opaque
structure handling for CPUs data (DT represents CPU through DT nodes, ACPI
through static MADT table entries), which seems overkill given that ACPI
on ARM64 mandates only two booting protocols (PSCI and parking protocol),
so there is no need for further protocol additions.

We currently open-code the removal of the idmap and restoration of the
current task's MMU state in a few places.

Before introducing yet more copies of this sequence, unify these to call
a new helper, cpu_uninstall_idmap.

<title>arm64: Delay cpu feature capability checks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dbb4e152b8da1f977d9d8cd7e494ab4ee3622f72</id>
<content type='text'>
At the moment we run through the arm64_features capability list for
each CPU and set the capability if one of the CPU supports it. This
could be problematic in a heterogeneous system with differing capabilities.
Delay the CPU feature checks until all the enabled CPUs are up(i.e,
smp_cpus_done(), so that we can make better decisions based on the
overall system capability. Once we decide and advertise the capabilities
the alternatives can be applied. From this state, we cannot roll back
a feature to disabled based on the values from a new hotplugged CPU,
due to the runtime patching and other reasons. So, for all new CPUs,
we need to make sure that they have the established system capabilities.
Failing which, we bring the CPU down, preventing it from turning online.
Once the capabilities are decided, any new CPU booting up goes through
verification to ensure that it has all the enabled capabilities and also
invokes the respective enable() method on the CPU.

The CPU errata checks are not delayed and is still executed per-CPU
to detect the respective capabilities. If we ever come across a non-errata
capability that needs to be checked on each-CPU, we could introduce them via
a new capability table(or introduce a flag), which can be processed per CPU.

The next patch will make the feature checks use the system wide
safe value of a feature register.

NOTE: The enable() methods associated with the capability is scheduled
on all the CPUs (which is the only use case at the moment). If we need
a different type of 'enable()' which only needs to be run once on any CPU,
we should be able to handle that when needed.

<content type='text'>
At the moment the boot CPU stores the cpuinfo long before the
PERCPU areas are initialised by the kernel. This could be problematic
as the non-boot CPU data structures might get copied with the data
from the boot CPU, giving us no chance to detect if a particular CPU
updated its cpuinfo. This patch delays the boot cpu store to
smp_prepare_boot_cpu().

Also kills the setup_processor() which no longer does meaningful
work.
