3f251cf0ab Revert "arm64: Revert L1_CACHE_SHIFT back to 6 (64-byte cache line size)"
This reverts commit 1f85b42a69.

The internal dma-direct.h API has changed in -next, which collides with
us trying to use it to manage non-coherent DMA devices on systems with
unreasonably large cache writeback granules.

This isn't at all trivial to resolve, so revert our changes for now and
we can revisit this after the merge window. Effectively, this just
restores our behaviour back to that of 4.16.

6ae4b6e057 arm64: Add support for new control bits CTR_EL0.DIC and CTR_EL0.IDC
The DCache clean & ICache invalidation requirements for instructions
to be data coherence are discoverable through new fields in CTR_EL0.
The following two control bits DIC and IDC were defined for this
purpose. No need to perform point of unification cache maintenance
operations from software on systems where CPU caches are transparent.

This patch optimize the three functions __flush_cache_user_range(),
clean_dcache_area_pou() and invalidate_icache_range() if the hardware
reports CTR_EL0.IDC and/or CTR_EL0.IDC. Basically it skips the two
instructions 'DC CVAU' and 'IC IVAU', and the associated loop logic
in order to avoid the unnecessary overhead.

CTR_EL0.DIC: Instruction cache invalidation requirements for
 instruction to data coherence. The meaning of this bit[29].
  0: Instruction cache invalidation to the point of unification
     is required for instruction to data coherence.
  1: Instruction cache cleaning to the point of unification is
      not required for instruction to data coherence.

CTR_EL0.IDC: Data cache clean requirements for instruction to data
 coherence. The meaning of this bit[28].
  0: Data cache clean to the point of unification is required for
     instruction to data coherence, unless CLIDR_EL1.LoC == 0b000
     or (CLIDR_EL1.LoUIS == 0b000 && CLIDR_EL1.LoUU == 0b000).
  1: Data cache clean to the point of unification is not required
     for instruction to data coherence.

1f85b42a69 arm64: Revert L1_CACHE_SHIFT back to 6 (64-byte cache line size)
Commit 9730348075 ("arm64: Increase the max granular size") increased
the cache line size to 128 to match Cavium ThunderX, apparently for some
performance benefit which could not be confirmed. This change, however,
has an impact on the network packets allocation in certain
circumstances, requiring slightly over a 4K page with a significant
performance degradation.

This patch reverts L1_CACHE_SHIFT back to 6 (64-byte cache line) while
keeping ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN at 128. The cache_line_size() function was
changed to default to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN in the absence of a meaningful
CTR_EL0.CWG bit field.

In addition, if a system with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN < CTR_EL0.CWG is
detected, the kernel will force swiotlb bounce buffering for all
non-coherent devices since DMA cache maintenance on sub-CWG ranges is
not safe, leading to data corruption.

02f7760e6e arm64: cache: Merge cachetype.h into cache.h
cachetype.h and cache.h are small and both obviously related to caches.
Merge them together to reduce clutter.

9730348075 arm64: Increase the max granular size
Increase the standard cacheline size to avoid having locks in the same
cacheline.

Cavium's ThunderX core implements cache lines of 128 byte size. With
current granulare size of 64 bytes (L1_CACHE_SHIFT=6) two locks could
share the same cache line leading a performance degradation.
Increasing the size fixes that.

Increasing the size has no negative impact to cache invalidation on
systems with a smaller cache line. There is an impact on memory usage,
but that's not too important for arm64 use cases.

e4f88d833b arm64: Implement support for read-mostly sections
As putting data which is read mostly together, we can avoid
unnecessary cache line bouncing.

Other architectures, such as ARM and x86, adopted the same idea.

a41dc0e841 arm64: Implement cache_line_size() based on CTR_EL0.CWG
The hardware provides the maximum cache line size in the system via the
CTR_EL0.CWG bits. This patch implements the cache_line_size() function
to read such information, together with a sanity check if the statically
defined L1_CACHE_BYTES is smaller than the hardware value.

f1a0c4aa09 arm64: Cache maintenance routines
The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64
architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may
have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations
are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
