Instead of using absolute addresses for both the exception location
and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values.
Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is
also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries
are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting
of the exception table that occurs at build time.
This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which
exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as
shorthands to emit exception table entries.

Unfortunately, the current way of using the linker to emit build time
constants into the Image header will no longer work once we switch to
the use of PIE executables. The reason is that such constants are emitted
into the binary using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations, which are resolved at
runtime, not at build time, and the places targeted by those relocations
will contain zeroes before that.
So refactor the endian swapping linker script constant generation code so
that it emits the upper and lower 32-bit words separately.

For more control over which functions are called with the MMU off or
with the UEFI 1:1 mapping active, annotate some assembler routines as
position independent. This is done by introducing ENDPIPROC(), which
replaces the ENDPROC() declaration of those routines.

Nobody seems to be producing !SMP systems anymore, so this is just
becoming a source of kernel bugs, particularly if people want to use
coherent DMA with non-shared pages.
This patch forces CONFIG_SMP=y for arm64, removing a modest amount of
code in the process.

The adrp instruction is mostly used in combination with either
an add, a ldr or a str instruction with the low bits of the
referenced symbol in the 12-bit immediate of the followup
instruction.
Introduce the macros adr_l, ldr_l and str_l that encapsulate
these common patterns.

asm/assembler.h lacks the usual guard against multiple inclusion,

Using the classic #ifndef/#define/#endif construct solves the issue.

Since mdscr_el1 is part of the debug register group, it is highly likely
to be trapped by a hypervisor to prevent virtual machines from debugging
(buggering?) each other. Unfortunately, this absolutely destroys our
performance, since we access the register on many of our low-level
fault handling paths to keep track of the various debug state machines.
This patch removes our dependency on mdscr_el1 in the case that debugging
is not being used. More specifically we:
- Use TIF_SINGLESTEP to indicate that a task is stepping at EL0 and
avoid disabling step in the MDSCR when we don't need to.
MDSCR_EL1.SS handling is moved to kernel_entry, when trapping from
userspace.
- Ensure debug exceptions are re-enabled on *all* exception entry
paths, even the debug exception handling path (where we re-enable
exceptions after invoking the handler). Since we can now rely on
MDSCR_EL1.SS being cleared by the entry code, exception handlers can
usually enable debug immediately before enabling interrupts.
- Remove all debug exception unmasking from ret_to_user and
el1_preempt, since we will never get here with debug exceptions
masked.
This results in a slight change to kernel debug behaviour, where we now
step into interrupt handlers and data aborts from EL1 when debugging the
kernel, which is actually a useful thing to do. A side-effect of this is
that it *does* potentially prevent stepping off {break,watch}points when
there is a high-frequency interrupt source (e.g. a timer), so a debugger
would need to use either breakpoints or manually disable interrupts to
get around this issue.
With this patch applied, guest performance is restored under KVM when
debug register accesses are trapped (and we get a measurable performance
increase on the host on Cortex-A57 too).

The arm64 port contains wrappers for arm32 syscalls that pass 64-bit
values. These wrappers concatenate the two registers to hold a 64-bit
value in a single X register. On BE, however, the lower and higher
words are swapped.
Create a new assembler macro, regs_to_64, that when on BE systems
swaps the registers in the orr instruction.

When we take an exception at EL1, we only want to enable debug
exceptions if we're not currently stepping, otherwise we can easily get
stuck in a loop stepping into interrupt handlers.
Unfortunately, the current code tests the wrong bit in the mdscr, so fix
that.
