send_ipi_message() does nothing except call smp_cross_call(). As
this is a static function, nothing external to this file calls it,
so we can easily clean up this now unnecessary indirection.

We should not be incrementing mm_users when we startup a secondary
CPU - doing so results in mm_users incrementing by one each time we
hotplug a CPU, which will eventually wrap, and will cause problems.
Other architectures such as x86 do not increment mm_users, but only
mm_count, so we follow that pattern.

Extend the perf_pmu_register() interface to allow for named and
dynamic pmu types.
Because we need to support the existing static types we cannot use
dynamic types for everything, hence provide a type argument.
If we want to enumerate the PMUs they need a name, provide one.

The debug registers can only be manipulated from software if monitor
debug mode is enabled. On some cores, this can never be enabled (i.e.
the corresponding bit in the DSCR is RAZ/WI).
This patch ensures we can handle this hardware configuration and fail
gracefully, rather than blow up the kernel during boot.

sparse doesn't like per-cpu accesses such as:
static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct perf_event *, foo[MAXLEN]);
struct perf_event **bar = __get_cpu_var(foo);
and shouts quite loudly about it:
| warning: incorrect type in assignment (different modifiers)
| expected struct perf_event **slots
| got struct perf_event *[noderef] *<noident>
This patch adds casts to these sorts of assignments in hw_breakpoint.c
in order to silence the warnings.

Single-stepping a breakpoint requires us to disable it temporarily so that
we don't get stuck in a recursive debug trap. With per-cpu breakpoints this
presents a problem where an interrupt can be taken before the single-step has
completed and a new task is eventually scheduled. This new task will not
hit the breakpoint because it will have been disabled during the previous
handling code.
This patch disallows per-cpu breakpoints on ARM when an overflow handler
is not present. A similar effect can be created by placing breakpoints on
a shell and then running applications there.

The single-stepping code is currently different depending on whether
we are stepping over a breakpoint or a watchpoint. There is no good
reason for this, so let's sort it out.
This patch adds functions for enabling/disabling single-step for
a particular hw_breakpoint and integrates this with the exception
handling code.

The watchpoint single-stepping code calls register_user_hw_breakpoint to
register a mismatch breakpoint for stepping over the watchpoint. This is
performed with preemption disabled, which is unsafe as we may end up scheduling
whilst in_atomic(). Furthermore, using the perf API is rather overkill since
we are already in the hw-breakpoint backend and only require access to reserved
breakpoints anyway.
This patch reworks the watchpoint stepping code so that we don't require
another perf_event for the mismatch breakpoint. Instead, we hold a separate
arch_hw_breakpoint_ctrl struct inside the watchpoint which is used exclusively
for stepping. We can check whether or not stepping is enabled when installing
or uninstalling the watchpoint and operate on the breakpoint accordingly.

To permit handling of watchpoint exceptions without signalling a
debugger, it is necessary to reserve breakpoint registers for in-kernel
use only.
This patch ensures that we record and subtract the number of reserved
breakpoints from the number of usable breakpoint registers that we
advertise to userspace via the ptrace API.

On ARM, debug exceptions occur in the form of data or prefetch aborts.
One difference is that debug exceptions require access to per-cpu banked
registers and data structures which are not saved in the low-level exception
code. For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, there is an unlikely scenario
that the debug handler ends up running on a different CPU from the one
that originally signalled the event, resulting in random data being read
from the wrong registers.
This patch adds a debug_entry macro to the low-level exception handling
code which checks whether the taken exception is a debug exception. If
it is, the preempt count for the faulting process is incremented. After
the debug handler has finished, the count is decremented.

The current hw_breakpoint code tries to fix up the alignment of
breakpoints so that we can make use of sparse byte-address-select
bits in the control register and give the illusion that we can
set breakpoints on unaligned addresses.
Although this works on v6 cores, v7 forbids this behaviour, instead
requiring breakpoints to be set on aligned addresses and have contiguous
byte-address-select ranges depending on the instruction set in use.
For ARM the only supported size is 4 bytes, whilst Thumb-2 also permits
2 byte breakpoints (watchpoints can be of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes long).
This patch simplifies the alignment fixup code so that we require
addresses to be aligned to the size of the corresponding breakpoint.
This allows us to handle the common case of breaking on a half-word
aligned Thumb-2 instruction and also allows us to set byte watchpoints
on arbitrary addresses.

The ARMv7 debug architecture doesn't make any guarantees about the
contents of debug control registers following a debug logic reset.
This patch ensures that we reset the control registers when a cpu
comes ONLINE (for example, with hotplug) so that when we enable
monitor mode while inserting a breakpoint we won't exhibit random
behaviour.

ARMv7 architects a system for saving and restoring the debug registers
across low-power modes. At the heart of this system is a lock register
which, when set, forbids writes to the debug registers. While locked,
writes to debug registers via the co-processor interface will result
in undefined instruction traps. Linux currently doesn't make use of
this feature because we update the debug registers on context switch
anyway, however the status of the lock is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED on
reset.
This patch ensures that the lock is cleared during boot so that we
can write to the debug registers safely.

As our SMP implementation uses MESI protocols. Grouping together data
which is mostly only read together means that we avoid unnecessary
cache line bouncing when this code shares a cache line with other data.

For kernels built with PREEMPT_RT, critical sections protected
by standard spinlocks are preemptible. This is not acceptable
on perf as (a) we may be scheduled onto a different CPU whilst
reading/writing banked PMU registers and (b) the latency when
reading the PMU registers becomes unpredictable.
This patch upgrades the pmu_lock spinlock to a raw_spinlock
instead.

Thumb-2.
The 32-bit conditional branches in Thumb-2 have a shorter range
(+/-512K) than their ARM counterparts (+/-32MB). The linker does
not currently generate trampolines to extend the range of these
Thumb-2 conditional branches, resulting in link errors when vmlinux
is sufficiently large, e.g.:
head.o:(.text+0x464): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP19

by use of an explicit IT instruction. The resulting branches are

kernel/head.S
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).
This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.
In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:
* .quad and .double:
.align 3
* .long, .word, .single, .float:
.align (or .align 2)
* .short:
No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and
__switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register.
Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page
tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the
kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in
the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and
newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory.
Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific
functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel
memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set
to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to
the LDR/STR ones.
The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only
access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still
works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register
(CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page
isn't possible.
The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok()
function so that they do not point to the kernel space.
