This patch introduces the SAMA5 support and a generic board file for SAMA5
devices. It also updates the PMC driver to manage clock division which is a
requirement since some peripherals can't work at the bus frequency on SAMA5.

As we will introduce SAMA5, we need to distinguish the core architecture. It is

kernel_map_sync_memtype() is called from a variety of contexts. The
pat.c code that calls it seems to ensure that it is not called for
non-ram areas by checking via pat_pagerange_is_ram(). It is important
that it only be called on the actual identity map because there *IS*
no map to sync for highmem pages, or for memory holes.
The ioremap.c uses are not as careful as those from pat.c, and call
kernel_map_sync_memtype() on PCI space which is in the middle of the
kernel identity map _range_, but is not actually mapped.
This patch adds a check to kernel_map_sync_memtype() which probably
duplicates some of the checks already in pat.c. But, it is necessary
for the ioremap.c uses and shouldn't hurt other callers.
I have reproduced this bug and this patch fixes it for me and the
original bug reporter:

optimizations
Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on
assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions.
The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.
For instance in the following function:
void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
{
memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
waiter->magic = waiter;
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list);
}
compiled as:
800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>:
800554d0: e92d4008 push {r3, lr}
800554d4: e1a00001 mov r0, r1
800554d8: e3a02010 mov r2, #16 ; 0x10
800554dc: e3a01011 mov r1, #17 ; 0x11
800554e0: eb04426e bl 80165ea0 <memset>
800554e4: e1a03000 mov r3, r0
800554e8: e583000c str r0, [r3, #12]
800554ec: e5830000 str r0, [r3]
800554f0: e5830004 str r0, [r3, #4]
800554f4: e8bd8008 pop {r3, pc}
GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
register/memory corruptions.
This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
existing load/store instructions.
For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:
Step 1
======
Perform the following substitutions:
ip -> r8, then
r0 -> ip,
and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).
Step 2
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:
save r8:
- str lr, [sp, #-4]!
+ stmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
and restore r8 on both exit paths:
- ldmeqfd sp!, {pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
+ ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
(...)
tst r2, #16
stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
- ldr lr, [sp], #4
+ ldmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
Step 3
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:
save r8:
- stmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+ stmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
and restore r8 on both exit paths:
bgt 3b
- ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
+ ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
(...)
tst r2, #16
stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
- ldmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+ ldmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
Step 4
======
Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

If the sentinel triggers, we do not want the boot loader authors to

When boot_params->sentinel is set, all we really know is that some
undefined set of fields in struct boot_params contain garbage. In the
particular case of efi_info, however, there is a private magic for
that substructure, so it is generally safe to leave it even if the
bootloader is broken.
kexec (for which we did the initial analysis) did not initialize this
field, but of course all the EFI bootloaders do, and most EFI
bootloaders are broken in this respect (and should be fixed.)

| x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
It turns out that we do not calculate the real_end properly:
We try to get 2M size with 4K alignment, and later will round down
to 2M, so we will get less then 2M for first mapping, in extreme
case could be only 4K only. In Henrik's system it has (1M-32K) as
last usable rage is [mem 0x7f9db000-0x7fef8fff].
The problem is exposed when EFI booting have several holes and it
will force mapping to use PTE instead as we only map usable areas.
To fix it, just make it be 2M aligned, so we can be guaranteed to be
able to use large pages to map it.

decompressor
Before jumping to (position independent) C-code from the decompressor's
assembler world we set-up the C environment. This setup currently does not
set r9, which for arm-none-uclinux-uclibceabi toolchains is by default
expected to be the PIC offset base register (IE should point to the
beginning of the GOT).
Currently, therefore, in order to build working kernels that use the
decompressor it is necessary to use an arm-linux-gnueabi toolchain, or
similar. uClinux toolchains cause a prefetch abort to occur at the beginning
of the decompress_kernel function.
This patch allows uClinux toolchains to build bootable zImages by forcing
the -mno-single-pic-base option, which ensures that the location of the GOT
is re-derived each time it is required, and r9 becomes free for use as a
general purpose register.
This has a small (4% in instruction terms) advantage over the alternative of
setting r9 to point to the GOT before calling into the C-world.

Currently we use the link register to branch up high in the early MMU on
syscall entry path. Unfortunately, this trashes the link stack as the
address we are going to is not associated with the earlier mflr.
This patch simply converts us to used the count register (volatile over
syscalls anyway) instead. This is much better at predicting in this
scenario and doesn't trash link stack causing a bunch of additional
branch mispredicts later. Benchmarking this on POWER8 saves a bunch of
cycles on Anton's null syscall benchmark here:

sys_llseek should specify the high and low 32-bit seek values as "unsigned
int" but instead it specifies "unsigned long". Since compat syscall
arguments are always sign-extended on tile, this means that a seek value
of 0xffffffff will be incorrectly interpreted as a value of -1ULL.
To avoid the risk of breaking binary compatibility on architectures
that already use sys_llseek this way, we follow the same path as MIPS
and provide a wrapper override.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Commit 9dcbf466559f ("ARM: perf: simplify __hw_perf_event_init err
handling") tidied up the error handling code for perf event
initialisation on ARM, but a copy-and-paste error left a dangling
semicolon at the end of an if statement.
This patch removes the broken semicolon, restoring the old group
validation semantics.

The ARM ARM requires branch predictor maintenance if, for a given ASID,
the instructions at a specific virtual address appear to change.
From the kernel's point of view, that means:
- Changing the kernel's view of memory (e.g. switching to the
identity map)
- ASID rollover (since ASIDs will be re-allocated to new tasks)
This patch adds explicit branch predictor maintenance when either of the
two conditions above are met.

The ARM architecture requires explicit branch predictor maintenance
when updating an instruction stream for a given virtual address. In
reality, this isn't so much of a burden because the branch predictor
is flushed during the cache maintenance required to make the new
instructions visible to the I-side of the processor.
However, there are still some cases where explicit flushing is required,
so add a local_bp_flush_all operation to deal with this.

mm->context.id is updated under asid_lock when a new ASID is allocated
to an mm_struct. However, it is also read without the lock when a task
is being scheduled and checking whether or not the current ASID
generation is up-to-date.
If two threads of the same process are being scheduled in parallel and
the bottom bits of the generation in their mm->context.id match the
current generation (that is, the mm_struct has not been used for ~2^24
rollovers) then the non-atomic, lockless access to mm->context.id may
yield the incorrect ASID.
This patch fixes this issue by making mm->context.id and atomic64_t,
ensuring that the generation is always read consistently. For code that
only requires access to the ASID bits (e.g. TLB flushing by mm), then
the value is accessed directly, which GCC converts to an ldrb.

If a thread triggers an ASID rollover, other threads of the same process
must be made to wait until the mm->context.id for the shared mm_struct
has been updated to new generation and associated book-keeping (e.g.
TLB invalidation) has ben performed.
However, there is a *tiny* window where both mm->context.id and the
relevant active_asids entry are updated to the new generation, but the
TLB flush has not been performed, which could allow another thread to
return to userspace with a dirty TLB, potentially leading to data
corruption. In reality this will never occur because one CPU would need
to perform a context-switch in the time it takes another to do a couple
of atomic test/set operations but we should plug the race anyway.
This patch moves the active_asids update until after the potential TLB
flush on context-switch.

The LPAE page table format uses 64-bit descriptors, so we need to take
endianness into account when populating the swapper and idmap tables
during early initialisation.
This patch ensures that we store the two words making up each page table
entry in the correct order when running big-endian.
