Some drivers (ACPI notably) use ioremap_cache() to map an area which could
either be outside of kernel RAM or in an already mapped reserved area of

not allow RAM to be remapped. But for ioremap_cache(), the existing kernel

On an (even slightly) oversubscribed system, spinlocks are quickly
becoming a bottleneck, as some vcpus are spinning, waiting for a
lock to be released, while the vcpu holding the lock may not be
running at all.
The solution is to trap blocking WFEs and tell KVM that we're
now spinning. This ensures that other vpus will get a scheduling
boost, allowing the lock to be released more quickly. Also, using
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT slightly improves the performance
when the VM is severely overcommited.

Currently, the code for setting the __cpu_boot_mode flag is munged in
with el2_setup. This makes things difficult on a BE bringup as a
memory access has to have occurred before el2_setup which is the place
that we'd like to set the endianess on the current EL.

This patch adds the basic infrastructure necessary to support

With the advent of CPU_HOTPLUG, the enable-method property for CPU0 may
tells us something useful (i.e. how to hotplug it back on), so we must
read it along with all the enable-method for all the other CPUs. Even
on UP the enable-method may tell us useful information (e.g. if a core
has some mechanism that might be usable for cpuidle), so we should
always read it.
This patch factors out the reading of the enable method, and ensures
that CPU0's enable method is read regardless of whether the kernel is
built with SMP support.

The arm64 kernel has an internal holding pen, which is necessary for
some systems where we can't bring CPUs online individually and must hold
multiple CPUs in a safe area until the kernel is able to handle them.
The current SMP infrastructure for arm64 is closely coupled to this
holding pen, and alternative boot methods must launch CPUs into the pen,
where they sit before they are launched into the kernel proper.
With PSCI (and possibly other future boot methods), we can bring CPUs
online individually, and need not perform the secondary_holding_pen
dance. Instead, this patch factors the holding pen management code out
to the spin-table boot method code, as it is the only boot method
requiring the pen.
A new entry point for secondaries, secondary_entry is added for other
boot methods to use, which bypasses the holding pen and its associated
overhead when bringing CPUs online. The smp.pen.text section is also
removed, as the pen can live in head.text without problem.
The cpu_operations structure is extended with two new functions,
cpu_boot and cpu_postboot, for bringing a cpu into the kernel and
performing any post-boot cleanup required by a bootmethod (e.g.
resetting the secondary_holding_pen_release to INVALID_HWID).
Documentation is added for cpu_operations.

For hotplug support, we're going to want a place to store operations
that do more than bring CPUs online, and it makes sense to group these
with our current smp_enable_ops. For cpuidle support, we'll want to
group additional functions, and we may want them even for UP kernels.
This patch renames smp_enable_ops to the more general cpu_operations,
and pulls the definitions out of smp code such that they can be used in
UP kernels. While we're at it, fix up instances of the cpu parameter to
be an unsigned int, drop the init markings and rename the *_cpu
functions to cpu_* to reduce future churn when cpu_operations is
extended.

In ftrace_syscall_enter(),
syscall_get_arguments(..., 0, n, ...)
if (i == 0) { <handle orig_x0> ...; n--;}
memcpy(..., n * sizeof(args[0]));
If 'number of arguments(n)' is zero and 'argument index(i)' is also zero in
syscall_get_arguments(), none of arguments should be copied by memcpy().
Otherwise 'n--' can be a big positive number and unexpected amount of data
will be copied. Tracing system calls which take no argument, say sync(void),
may hit this case and eventually make the system corrupted.
This patch fixes the issue both in syscall_get_arguments() and
syscall_set_arguments().

Support huge pages in KVM/ARM and KVM/ARM64. The pud_huge checking on
the unmap path may feel a bit silly as the pud_huge check is always
defined to false, but the compiler should be smart about this.
Note: This deals only with VMAs marked as huge which are allocated by
users through hugetlbfs only. Transparent huge pages can only be
detected by looking at the underlying pages (or the page tables
themselves) and this patch so far simply maps these on a page-by-page
level in the Stage-2 page tables.

xen_swiotlb_alloc_coherent needs to allocate a coherent buffer for cpu
and devices. On native x86 is sufficient to call __get_free_pages in
order to get a coherent buffer, while on ARM (and potentially ARM64) we
need to call the native dma_ops->alloc implementation.
Introduce xen_alloc_coherent_pages to abstract the arch specific buffer
allocation.
Similarly introduce xen_free_coherent_pages to free a coherent buffer:
on x86 is simply a call to free_pages while on ARM and ARM64 is
arm_dma_ops.free.

Changes in v7:

- call __generic_dma_ops(hwdev)->alloc/free on arm64 too.
Changes in v6:
- call __get_dma_ops to get the native dma_ops pointer on arm.
We can't simply override arm_dma_ops with xen_dma_ops because devices
are allowed to have their own dma_ops and they take precedence over
arm_dma_ops. When running on Xen as initial domain, we always want
xen_dma_ops to be the one in use.
We introduce __generic_dma_ops to allow xen_dma_ops functions to call
back to the native implementation.

get_user() is defined as a function macro in arm64, and trace_get_user()
calls it as followed:

Since the second parameter occurs twice in the definition, 'ptr++' is
unexpectedly evaluated twice and trace_get_user() will generate a bogus

like "echo FUNCNAME > set_ftrace_filter," hit this case and eventually fail.
