__sync_icache_dcache unconditionally skips the cache maintenance for
anonymous pages, under the assumption that flushing is only required in
the presence of D-side aliases [see 7249b79f6b4cc ("arm64: Do not flush
the D-cache for anonymous pages")].
Unfortunately, this breaks migration of anonymous pages holding
self-modifying code, where userspace cannot be reasonably expected to
reissue maintenance instructions in response to a migration.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the broken page_mapping(page)
check from the cache syncing code, otherwise we may end up fetching and
executing stale instructions from the PoU.

Currently we disable preemption in copy_to_user_page; a behaviour that
we inherited from the 32-bit arm code. This was necessary for older
cores without broadcast data cache maintenance, and ensured that cache
lines were dirtied and cleaned by the same CPU. On these systems dirty
cache line migration was not possible, so this was sufficient to
guarantee coherency.
On contemporary systems, cache coherence protocols permit (dirty) cache
lines to migrate between CPUs as a result of speculation, prefetching,
and other behaviours. To account for this, in ARMv8 data cache
maintenance operations are broadcast and affect all data caches in the
domain associated with the VA (i.e. ISH for kernel and user mappings).
In __switch_to we ensure that tasks can be safely migrated in the middle
of a maintenance sequence, using a dsb(ish) to ensure prior explicit
memory accesses are observed and cache maintenance operations are
completed before a task can be run on another CPU.
Given the above, it is not necessary to disable preemption in
copy_to_user_page. This patch removes the preempt_{disable,enable}
calls, permitting preemption.

With new refcounting we don't need to mark PMDs splitting. Let's drop
code to handle this.
pmdp_splitting_flush() is not needed too: on splitting PMD we will do
pmdp_clear_flush() + set_pte_at(). pmdp_clear_flush() will do IPI as
needed for fast_gup.

In systems with three levels of cache(PoU at L1 and PoC at L3),
PoC cache flush instructions flushes L2 and L3 caches which could affect
performance.
For cache flushes for I and D coherency, PoU should suffice.
So changing all I and D coherency related cache flushes to PoU.
Introduced a new __clean_dcache_area_pou API for dcache flush till PoU
and provided a common macro for __flush_dcache_area and
__clean_dcache_area_pou.
Also, now in __sync_icache_dcache, icache invalidation for non-aliasing
VIPT icache is done only for that particular page instead of the earlier
__flush_icache_all.

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 documented semantics of flush_cache_all are not possible to provide
for arm64 (short of flushing the entire physical address space by VA),
and there are currently no users; KVM uses VA maintenance exclusively,
cpu_reset is never called, and the only two users outside of arch code
cannot be built for arm64.
While cpu_soft_reset and related functions (which call flush_cache_all)
were thought to be useful for kexec, their current implementations only
serve to mask bugs. For correctness kexec will need to perform
maintenance by VA anyway to account for system caches, line migration,
and other subtleties of the cache architecture. As the extent of this
cache maintenance will be kexec-specific, it should probably live in the
kexec code.
This patch removes flush_cache_all, and related unused components,
preventing further abuse.

Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM64. We also need to force THP splits to
broadcast an IPI s.t. we block in the fast_gup page walker. As THP
splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable
performance degradation.
Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.

The __sync_icache_dcache routine will only flush the dcache for the
first page of a compound page, potentially leading to stale icache
data residing further on in a hugetlb page.
This patch addresses this issue by taking into consideration the
order of the page when flushing the dcache.

This function is only used in __sync_icache_dcache(), so remove it and
call __flush_dcache_area() directly. The flush_icache_user_range()
function is not used in the arm64 kernel.

The flush_dcache_page() function is called when the kernel modified a
page cache page. Since the D-cache on AArch64 does not have aliases
this function can simply mark the page as dirty for later flushing via
set_pte_at()/__sync_icache_dcache() if the page is executable (to ensure
the I-D cache coherency).

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.
