do_cache_op finds the lowest VMA contained in the specified address
range and rounds the range to cover only the mapped addresses.
Since commit 4542b6a0fa6b ("ARM: 7365/1: drop unused parameter from
flush_cache_user_range") the VMA is not used for anything else in this
code and seeing as the low-level cache flushing routines return -EFAULT
if the address is not valid, there is no need for this range truncation.
This patch removes the VMA handling code from the cacheflushing syscall.

The flush_cache_user_range macro takes a pair of addresses describing
the start and end of the virtual address range to flush. Due to an
accidental oversight when flush_cache_range_user was introduced, the
address range was rounded up so that the start and end addresses were
page-aligned.
For historical reference, the interesting commits in history.git are:
10eacf1775e1 ("[ARM] Clean up ARM cache handling interfaces (part 1)")
71432e79b76b ("[ARM] Add flush_cache_user_page() for sys_cacheflush()")
This patch removes the alignment code, reducing the amount of flushing
required for ranges that are not an exact multiple of PAGE_SIZE.

Flushing a large, non-faulting VMA from userspace can potentially result
in a long time spent flushing the cache line-by-line without preemption
occurring (in the case of CONFIG_PREEMPT=n).
Whilst this doesn't affect the stability of the system, it can certainly
affect the responsiveness and CPU availability for other tasks.
This patch splits up the user cacheflush code so that it flushes in
chunks of a page. After each chunk has been flushed, we may reschedule
if appropriate and, before processing the next chunk, we allow any
pending signals to be handled before resuming from where we left off.

flush_cache_vmap contains a dsb to ensure that any cacheflushing
operations to flush out newly written ptes have completed.
This patch adds the -ishst option to the dsb, since that is all that is
required for completing cacheflushing in the inner-shareable domain.

In a similar manner to our spinlock implementation, mcpm uses sev to
wake up cores waiting on a lock when the lock is unlocked. In order to
ensure that the final write unlocking the lock is visible, a dsb
instruction is executed immediately prior to the sev.
This patch changes these dsbs to use the -st option, since we only
require that the store unlocking the lock is made visible.

When flushing the TLB at PL2 in response to remapping at stage-2 or VMID
rollover, we have a dsb instruction to ensure completion of the command
before continuing.
Since we only care about other processors for TLB invalidation, use the
inner-shareable variant of the dsb instruction instead.

When unlocking a spinlock, we use the sev instruction to signal other
CPUs waiting on the lock. Since sev is not a memory access instruction,
we require a dsb in order to ensure that the sev is not issued ahead
of the store placing the lock in an unlocked state.
However, as sev is only concerned with other processors in a
multiprocessor system, we can restrict the scope of the preceding dsb
to the inner-shareable domain. Furthermore, we can restrict the scope to
consider only stores, since there are no independent loads on the unlock
path.
A side-effect of this change is that a spin_unlock operation no longer
forces completion of pending TLB invalidation, something which we rely
on when unlocking runqueues to ensure that CPU migration during TLB
maintenance routines doesn't cause us to continue before the operation
has completed.
This patch adds the -ishst suffix to the ARMv7 definition of dsb_sev()
and adds an inner-shareable dsb to the context-switch path when running
a preemptible, SMP, v7 kernel.

System-wide barriers aren't required for situations where we only need
to make visibility and ordering guarantees in the inner-shareable domain
(i.e. we are not dealing with devices or potentially incoherent CPUs).
This patch changes the v7 TLB operations, coherent_user_range and
dcache_clean_area functions to user inner-shareable barriers. For cache
maintenance, only the store access type is required to ensure completion.

Our TLB invalidation routines may require a barrier before the
maintenance (in order to ensure pending page table writes are visible to
the hardware walker) and barriers afterwards (in order to ensure
completion of the maintenance and visibility in the instruction stream).
Whilst this is expensive, the cost can be reduced somewhat by reducing
the scope of the barrier instructions:
- The barrier before only needs to apply to stores (pte writes)
- Local ops are required only to affect the non-shareable domain
- Global ops are required only to affect the inner-shareable domain
This patch makes these changes for the TLB flushing code.

On ARMv7, the memory barrier instructions take an optional `option'
field which can be used to constrain the effects of a memory barrier
based on shareability and access type.
This patch allows the caller to pass these options if required, and
updates the smp_*() barriers to request inner-shareable barriers,
affecting only stores for the _wmb variant. wmb() is also changed to
use the -st version of dsb.

Branch predictor maintenance is only required when we are either
changing the kernel's view of memory (switching tables completely) or
dealing with ASID rollover.
Both of these use-cases require subsequent TLB invalidation, which has
the relevant barrier instructions to ensure completion and visibility
of the maintenance, so this patch removes the instruction barrier from
[local_]flush_bp_all.

Inner-shareable TLB invalidation is typically more expensive than local
(non-shareable) invalidation, so performing the broadcasting for
local_flush_tlb_* operations is a waste of cycles and needlessly
clobbers entries in the TLBs of other CPUs.
This patch introduces __flush_tlb_* versions for many of the TLB
invalidation functions, which only respect inner-shareable variants of
the invalidation instructions when presented with the TLB_V7_UIS_FULL
flag. The local version is also inlined to prevent SMP_ON_UP kernels
from missing flushes, where the __flush variant would be called with
the UP flags.
This gains us around 0.5% in hackbench scores for a dual-core A15, but I
would expect this to improve as more cores (and clusters) are added to
the equation.

If one process calls sys_reboot and that process then stops other
CPUs while those CPUs are within a spin_lock() region we can
potentially encounter a deadlock scenario like below.

spin_lock(my_lock)
smp_send_stop()
<send IPI> handle_IPI()
disable_preemption/irqs
while(1);
<PREEMPT>
spin_lock(my_lock) <--- Waits forever
We shouldn't attempt to run any other tasks after we send a stop
IPI to a CPU so disable preemption so that this task runs to
completion. We use local_irq_disable() here for cross-arch

When an associativity level change is found for one thread, the
siblings threads need to be updated as well. This is done today
for PRRN in stage_topology_update() but is missing for VPHN in
update_cpu_associativity_changes_mask(). This patch will correctly
update all thread siblings during a topology change.
Without this patch a topology update can result in a CPU in
init_sched_groups_power() getting stuck indefinitely in a loop.
This loop is built in build_sched_groups(). As a result of the thread
moving to a node separate from its siblings the struct sched_group will
have its next pointer set to point to itself rather than the sched_group
struct of the next thread. This happens because we have a domain without
the SD_OVERLAP flag, which is correct, and a topology that doesn't conform
with reality (threads on the same core assigned to different numa nodes).
When this list is traversed by init_sched_groups_power() it will reach
the thread's sched_group structure and loop indefinitely; the cpu will
be stuck at this point.
The bug was exposed when VPHN was enabled in commit b7abef0 (v3.9).

We can't use dev->mod_index for selecting the interrupt routing entry,
because it's not an index into interrupt routing table. It will be even
wrong on a machine with 2 CPUs (4 cores). But all needed information is

The parisc architecture does not have a pte special bit. As a result,
special mappings are handled with the VM_PFNMAP and VM_MIXEDMAP flags.
VM_MIXEDMAP mappings may or may not have a "struct page" backing. When
pfn_valid() is false, there is no "struct page" backing. Otherwise, they
are treated as normal pages.
The FireGL driver uses the VM_MIXEDMAP without a backing "struct page".
This treatment caused a panic due to a TLB data miss in
update_mmu_cache. This appeared to be in the code generated for
page_address(). We were in fact using a very circular bit of code to
determine the physical address of the PFN in various cache routines.
This wasn't valid when there was no "struct page" backing. The needed
address can in fact be determined simply from the PFN itself without
using the "struct page".
The attached patch updates update_mmu_cache(), flush_cache_mm(),
flush_cache_range() and flush_cache_page() to check pfn_valid() and to
directly compute the PFN physical and virtual addresses.

is_smp() test
Commit 621a0147d5c921f4cc33636ccd0602ad5d7cbfbc ("ARM: 7757/1: mm:
don't flush icache in switch_mm with hardware broadcasting") breaks
the boot on OMAP2430SDP with omap2plus_defconfig. Tracked to an
undefined instruction abort from the CP15 read in
cache_ops_need_broadcast(). It turns out that gcc 4.5 reorders the
extended CP15 read above the is_smp() test. This breaks ARM1136 r0
cores, since they don't support several CP15 registers that later ARM
cores do. ARM1136JF-S TRM section 3.2.1 "Register allocation" has the
details.
So mark the extended CP15 read as clobbering memory, which prevents
the compiler from reordering it before the is_smp() test. Russell
states that the code generated from this approach is preferable to
marking the inline asm as volatile. Remove the existing condition
code clobber as it's obsolete, per Nico's post:

The name changed in response to review comments for the nvic irqchip
driver when the original name was already accepted into Russell King's
tree.
