The icache_policy_str[] definition causes a warning when extra
warning flags are enabled:

arch/arm64/kernel/cpuinfo.c:38:26: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
   38 |  [ICACHE_POLICY_VIPT]  = "VIPT",
      |                          ^~~~~~

   39 |  [ICACHE_POLICY_PIPT]  = "PIPT",
      |                          ^~~~~~
arch/arm64/kernel/cpuinfo.c:39:26: note: (near initialization for 'icache_policy_str[3]')
arch/arm64/kernel/cpuinfo.c:40:27: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
   40 |  [ICACHE_POLICY_VPIPT]  = "VPIPT",
      |                           ^~~~~~~
arch/arm64/kernel/cpuinfo.c:40:27: note: (near initialization for 'icache_policy_str[0]')

There is no real need for the default initializer here, as printing a
NULL string is harmless. Rewrite the logic to have an explicit
reserved value for the only one that uses the default value.

This partially reverts the commit that removed ICACHE_POLICY_AIVIVT.

<title>treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")</title>

<content type='text'>
Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

<title>arm64: Ask the compiler to __always_inline functions used by KVM at HYP</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e43f1331e2ef913b8c566920c9af75e0ccdd1d3f</id>
<content type='text'>
KVM uses some of the static-inline helpers like icache_is_vipt() from
its HYP code. This assumes the function is inlined so that the code is
mapped to EL2. The compiler may decide not to inline these, and the
out-of-line version may not be in the __hyp_text section.

Add the additional __always_ hint to these static-inlines that are used
by KVM.

<title>arm64: Fake the IminLine size on systems affected by Neoverse-N1 #1542419</title>

<content type='text'>
Systems affected by Neoverse-N1 #1542419 support DIC so do not need to
perform icache maintenance once new instructions are cleaned to the PoU.
For the errata workaround, the kernel hides DIC from user-space, so that
the unnecessary cache maintenance can be trapped by firmware.

To reduce the number of traps, produce a fake IminLine value based on
PAGE_SIZE.

<content type='text'>
GCC unescapes escaped string section names while Clang does not. Because
__section uses the `#` stringification operator for the section name, it
doesn't need to be escaped.

This antipattern was found with:
$ grep -e __section\(\" -e __section__\(\" -r

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - arm64 support for syscall emulation via PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP}

 - Wire up VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for arm64, allowing the core code to
   manage the permissions of executable vmalloc regions more strictly

 - Slight performance improvement by keeping softirqs enabled while
   touching the FPSIMD/SVE state (kernel_neon_begin/end)

 - Expose a couple of ARMv8.5 features to user (HWCAP): CondM (new
   XAFLAG and AXFLAG instructions for floating point comparison flags
   manipulation) and FRINT (rounding floating point numbers to integers)

 - Re-instate ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI support which was previously marked as
   BROKEN due to some bugs (now fixed)

 - Improve parking of stopped CPUs and implement an arm64-specific
   panic_smp_self_stop() to avoid warning on not being able to stop
   secondary CPUs during panic

 - perf: enable the ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) on ACPI
   platforms

 - perf: DDR performance monitor support for iMX8QXP

 - cache_line_size() can now be set from DT or ACPI/PPTT if provided to
   cope with a system cache info not exposed via the CPUID registers

 - Avoid warning on hardware cache line size greater than
   ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN if the system is fully coherent

 - arm64 do_page_fault() and hugetlb cleanups

 - Refactor set_pte_at() to avoid redundant READ_ONCE(*ptep)

 - Ignore ACPI 5.1 FADTs reported as 5.0 (infer from the
   'arm_boot_flags' introduced in 5.1)

 - CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE now enabled in defconfig

 - Allow the selection of ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, currently only done via
   RANDOMIZE_BASE (and an erratum workaround), allowing modules to spill
   over into the vmalloc area

 - Make ZONE_DMA32 configurable

If the cache line size is greater than ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (128),
the warning shows and it's tainted as TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC.

However, it's not good because as discussed in the thread [1], the cpu
cache line size will be problem only on non-coherent devices.

Since the coherent flag is already introduced to struct device,
show the warning only if the device is non-coherent device and
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is smaller than the cpu cache size.

<content type='text'>
cache_line_size is derived from CTR_EL0.CWG field and is called mostly
for I/O device drivers. For some platforms like the HiSilicon Kunpeng920
server SoC, cache line sizes are different between L1/2 cache and L3
cache while L1 cache line size is 64-byte and L3 is 128-byte, but
CTR_EL0.CWG is misreporting using L1 cache line size.

We shall correct the right value which is important for I/O performance.
Let's update the cache line size if it is detected from DT or PPTT
information.
