Peter Crosthwaite 1baa82f480 arm64: Implement cpu_relax as yield
ARM64 has the yield nop hint which has the intended semantics of
cpu_relax. Implement.

The immediate application is ARM CPU emulators. An emulator can take
advantage of the yield hint to de-prioritise an emulated CPU in favor
of other emulation tasks. QEMU A64 SMP emulation has yield awareness,
and sees a significant boot time performance increase with this change.

Catalin Marinas a1e50a8225 arm64: Increase the swiotlb buffer size 64MB
With commit 3690951fc6 (arm64: Use swiotlb late initialisation), the
swiotlb buffer size is limited to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. However, there are
platforms with 32-bit only devices that require bounce buffering via
swiotlb. This patch changes the swiotlb initialisation to an early 64MB
memblock allocation. In order to get the swiotlb buffer correctly
allocated (via memblock_virt_alloc_low_nopanic), this patch also defines
ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT to the maximum physical address capable of 32-bit
DMA.

Paul Walmsley 2ec4560b7c arm64: fix missing asm/pgtable-hwdef.h include in asm/processor.h
On next-20150105, defconfig compilation breaks with:

./arch/arm64/include/asm/processor.h:47:32: error: ‘PHYS_MASK’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Fix by including asm/pgtable-hwdef.h, where PHYS_MASK is defined.

This second version incorporates a comment from Mark Rutland
<mark.rutland@arm.com> to keep the includes in alphabetical order
by filename.

Will Deacon 3168a74346 arm64: report correct stack pointer in KSTK_ESP for compat tasks
The KSTK_ESP macro is used to determine the user stack pointer for a
given task. In particular, this is used to to report the '[stack]' VMA
in /proc/self/maps, which is used by Android to determine the stack
location for children of the main thread.

This patch fixes the macro to use user_stack_pointer instead of directly
returning sp. This means that we report w13 instead of sp, since the
former is used as the stack pointer when executing in AArch32 state.

Davidlohr Bueso 3a6bfbc91d arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()
The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.

This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency  ("relax, but
only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

For AArch32, bit 11 (WnR) of the FSR/ESR register is set when the fault

ESR_EL1 tracking for the arm64 kernel faults and sets bit 11 accordingly
in compat sigcontext.

Will Deacon f483a853b0 arm64: mm: fix booting on systems with no memory below 4GB
Booting on a system with all of its memory above the 4GB boundary breaks
for two reasons:

	(1) We still try to create a non-empty DMA32 zone
	(2) no-bootmem limits allocations to 0xffffffff

This patch fixes these issues for ARM64.

Catalin Marinas 16dd46bb78 arm64: No need to set the x0-x2 registers in start_thread()
For historical reasons, ARM used to set r0-r2 in start_thread() to the
first values on the user stack when starting a new user application. The
same logic has been inherited in AArch64. The x0 register is overridden
by the sys_execve() return value so it's always zero on success. The x1
and x2 registers are ignored by AArch64 and EABI AArch32 applications,
so we can safely remove the register setting for both native and compat
user space.

This also fixes a potential fault with the kernel accessing user space
stack directly.

This patch adds AArch64 CPU specific functionality. It assumes that the
implementation is generic to AArch64 and does not require specific
identification. Different CPU implementations may require the setting of
various ACTLR_EL1 bits but such information is not currently available
and it should ideally be pushed to firmware.
