On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside
outside the 32-bit limit. These systems need the ability to specify the
initrd location using 64-bit numbers.
This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to
use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long.
There has been quite a bit of debate about whether to use u64 or phys_addr_t.
It was concluded to stick to u64 to be consistent with rest of the device
tree code. As summarized by Geert, "The address to load the initrd is decided
by the bootloader/user and set at that point later in time. The dtb should not
be tied to the kernel you are booting"

Secondary CPUs write to __boot_cpu_mode with caches disabled, and thus a
cached value of __boot_cpu_mode may be incoherent with that in memory.
This could lead to a failure to detect mismatched boot modes.
This patch adds flushing to ensure that writes by secondaries to
__boot_cpu_mode are made visible before we test against it.

Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas:
- Post -rc1 update to the common reboot infrastructure.
- Fixes (user cache maintenance fault handling, !COMPAT compilation,
CPU online and interrupt hanlding).

Commit 7b6d864b48d9 (reboot: arm: change reboot_mode to use enum
reboot_mode) changed the way reboot is handled on arm, which has a
direct impact on arm64 as we share the reset driver on the VE platform.
The obvious fix is to move arm64 to use the same infrastructure.

On arm64, cache maintenance faults appear as data aborts with the CM
bit set in the ESR. The WnR bit, usually used to distinguish between
faulting loads and stores, always reads as 1 and (slightly confusingly)
the instructions are treated as reads by the architecture.
This patch fixes our fault handling code to treat cache maintenance
faults in the same way as loads.

If 'COMPAT' not defined, aarch32_break_handler() cannot pass compiling,
and it can work independent with 'COMPAT', so remove dummy definition.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the arch/arm64 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files. Currently arm64 does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch
memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these
changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global
variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(),
free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count().
With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep
totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence.

Address more review comments from last round of code review.
1) Enhance free_reserved_area() to support poisoning freed memory with
pattern '0'. This could be used to get rid of poison_init_mem()
on ARM64.
2) A previous patch has disabled memory poison for initmem on s390
by mistake, so restore to the original behavior.
3) Remove redundant PAGE_ALIGN() when calling free_reserved_area().

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"This contains the usual updates from other people (listed below) and
the usual random muddle of miscellaneous ARM updates which cover some
low priority bug fixes and performance improvements.
I've started to put the pull request wording into the merge commits,
which are:
- NoMMU stuff:
This includes the following series sent earlier to the list:
- nommu-fixes
- R7 Support
- MPU support
I've left out the ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM/!MMU stuff that Arnd and I
were discussing today until we've reached a conclusion/that's had
some more review.
This is rebased (and re-tested) on your devel-stable branch because
otherwise there were going to be conflicts with Uwe's V7M work now
that you've merged that. I've included the fix for limiting MPU to
CPU_V7.
- Huge page support
These changes bring both HugeTLB support and Transparent HugePage
(THP) support to ARM. Only long descriptors (LPAE) are supported
in this series.
The code has been tested on an Arndale board (Exynos 5250).
- LPAE updates
Please pull these miscellaneous LPAE fixes I've been collecting for
a while now for 3.11. They've been tested and reviewed by quite a
few people, and most of the patches are pretty trivial. -- Will Deacon.

This patch series that implements MPIDR linearization through a
simple hashing algorithm and updates current cpu_{suspend}/{resume}
code to use the newly created hash structures to retrieve context

Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:
1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
Make this explicit for all architectures.
2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
are very fast and small that e.g. net code seems to make. Remove
this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
assume.
3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
like net/sunrpc does will never sleep. Remove an unconditinal
might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
PROVE_LOCKING is not set).
4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
caller to sleep. Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
PROVE_LOCKING is set.
These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
machine and the host:

Bring Transparent HugePage support to ARM. The size of a
transparent huge page depends on the normal page size. A
transparent huge page is always represented as a pmd.
If PAGE_SIZE is 4KB, THPs are 2MB.
If PAGE_SIZE is 64KB, THPs are 512MB.

The buddy allocator has a default MAX_ORDER of 11, which is too
low to allocate enough memory for 512MB Transparent HugePages if
our base page size is 64KB.
This patch introduces MAX_ZONE_ORDER and sets it to 14 when 64KB
pages are used in conjuction with THP, otherwise the default value
of 11 is used.

Add huge page support to ARM64, different huge page sizes are
supported depending on the size of normal pages:
PAGE_SIZE is 4KB:
2MB - (pmds) these can be allocated at any time.
1024MB - (puds) usually allocated on bootup with the command line
with something like: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=6
PAGE_SIZE is 64KB:
512MB - (pmds) usually allocated on bootup via command line.

Under ARM64, PTEs can be broadly categorised as follows:
- Present and valid: Bit #0 is set. The PTE is valid and memory
access to the region may fault.
- Present and invalid: Bit #0 is clear and bit #1 is set.
Represents present memory with PROT_NONE protection. The PTE
is an invalid entry, and the user fault handler will raise a
SIGSEGV.
- Not present (file or swap): Bits #0 and #1 are clear.
Memory represented has been paged out. The PTE is an invalid
entry, and the fault handler will try and re-populate the
memory where necessary.
Huge PTEs are block descriptors that have bit #1 clear. If we wish
to represent PROT_NONE huge PTEs we then run into a problem as
there is no way to distinguish between regular and huge PTEs if we
set bit #1.
To resolve this ambiguity this patch moves PTE_PROT_NONE from
bit #1 to bit #2 and moves PTE_FILE from bit #2 to bit #3. The
number of swap/file bits is reduced by 1 as a consequence, leaving
60 bits for file and swap entries.

If we consider the following code sequence:
my_pte = pte_modify(entry, myprot);
x = pte_write(my_pte);
y = pte_exec(my_pte);
If myprot comes from a PROT_NONE page, then x and y will both be
true which is undesireable behaviour.
This patch sets the no-execute and read-only bits for PAGE_NONE
such that the code above will return false for both x and y.

In paging_init the memblock limit is set to restrict any addresses
returned by early_alloc to fit within the initial direct kernel
mapping in swapper_pg_dir. This allows map_mem to allocate puds,
pmds and ptes from the initial direct kernel mapping.
The limit stays low after paging_init() though, meaning any
bootmem allocations will be from a restricted subset of memory.
Gigabyte huge pages, for instance, are normally allocated from
bootmem as their order (18) is too large for the default buddy
allocator (MAX_ORDER = 11).
This patch restores the memblock limit when map_mem has finished,
allowing gigabyte huge pages (and other objects) to be allocated
from all of bootmem.

Wire the init of a 32bit vcpu by allowing 32bit modes in pstate,
and providing sensible defaults out of reset state.
This feature is of course conditioned by the presence of 32bit
capability on the physical CPU, and is checked by the KVM_CAP_ARM_EL1_32BIT
capability.

Define the 32bit specific registers (SPSRs, cp15...).
Most CPU registers are directly mapped to a 64bit register
(r0->x0...). Only the SPSRs have separate registers.
cp15 registers are also mapped into their 64bit counterpart in most
cases.
