For streaming-style operations (e.g., software rendering of graphics
surfaces shared with non-coherent DMA devices), the cost of performing
L2 cache maintenance can exceed the benefit of having the larger cache
(this is particularly true for OUTER_CACHE configurations like the ARM
PL2x0).
This change uses the currently-unused mapping 5 (TEX[0]=1, C=0, B=1)
in the tex remapping tables as an inner-writeback-write-allocate, outer
non-cacheable memory type, so that this mapping will be available to
clients which will benefit from the reduced L2 maintenance.

Commit 66a625a (ARM: mm: proc-macros: Add generic proc/cache/tlb struct
definition macros) introduced build errors when PM_SLEEP is not enabled.
The per-CPU do_suspend/do_resume functions are defined via the
preprocessor to constant 0. However, the macros which use these were
converted to assembly, resulting in undefined references to these
functions. Fix that by moving the ! ifdef section into proc-macros.S
and deleting it from all effected proc-*.S files.

This patch adds some generic macros to reduce boilerplate when
declaring certain common structures in arch/arm/mm/*.S
Thanks to Russell King for outlining what the
define_processor_functions macro could look like.

The hardware page tables use an XN bit 'execute never'. Historically,
we've had a Linux 'execute allow' bit, in the positive sense. Get rid
of this artifact as future hardware will continue to have the XN sense.

This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in
each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page
table walks. As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning
of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking
it away, along with the other control bits.
This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture.

The current implementation of the v7_coherent_*_range function assumes
that the D and I cache lines have the same size, which is incorrect
architecturally. This patch adds the icache_line_size macro which reads
the CTR register. The main loop in v7_coherent_*_range is split in two
independent loops or the D and I caches. This also has the performance
advantage that the DSB is moved outside the main loop.

The current implementation of the dcache_line_size macro reads the L1
cache size from the CCSIDR register. This, however, is not guaranteed to
be the smallest cache line in the cache hierarchy. The patch changes to
the macro to use the more architecturally correct CTR register.

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.

These old symbols are meaningless now that we have memory type
support implemented. The entire memory type field needs to be
modified rather than just a few bits twiddled.

As of the previous commit, MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 encodes to the same
PTE bit encoding as MT_DEVICE, so it's now redundant. Convert
MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 to use MT_DEVICE instead, and remove its aliases.

Most MMU-based CPUs have a restriction on the setting of the data cache
enable and mmu enable bits in the control register, whereby if the data
cache is enabled, the MMU must also be enabled. Enabling the data
cache without the MMU is an invalid combination.
However, there are CPUs where the data cache can be enabled without the
MMU.
In order to allow these CPUs to take advantage of that, provide a
method whereby each proc-*.S file defines the control regsiter value
for use with nommu (with the MMU disabled.) Later on, when we add
support for enabling the MMU on these devices, we can adjust the
"crval" macro to also enable the data cache for nommu.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
