Systems with differing CPU i-cache/d-cache line sizes can cause
problems with the cache management by software when the execution
is migrated from one to another. Usually, the application reads
the cache size on a CPU and then uses that length to perform cache
operations. However, if it gets migrated to another CPU with a smaller
cache line size, things could go completely wrong. To prevent such
cases, always use the smallest cache line size among the CPUs. The
kernel CPU feature infrastructure already keeps track of the safe
value for all CPUID registers including CTR. This patch works around
the problem by :
For kernel, dynamically patch the kernel to read the cache size
from the system wide copy of CTR_EL0.
For applications, trap read accesses to CTR_EL0 (by clearing the SCTLR.UCT)
and emulate the mrs instruction to return the system wide safe value
of CTR_EL0.
For faster access (i.e, avoiding to lookup the system wide value of CTR_EL0
via read_system_reg), we keep track of the pointer to table entry for
CTR_EL0 in the CPU feature infrastructure.

Right now we trap some of the user space data cache operations
based on a few Errata (ARM 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069).
We need to trap userspace access to CTR_EL0, if we detect mismatched
cache line size. Since both these traps share the EC, refactor
the handler a little bit to make it a bit more reader friendly.

Several places open-code extraction of the EC field from an ESR_ELx
value, in subtly different ways. This is unfortunate duplication and
variation, and the precise logic used to extract the field is a
distraction.
This patch adds a new macro, ESR_ELx_EC(), to extract the EC field from
an ESR_ELx value in a consistent fashion.
Existing open-coded extractions in core arm64 code are moved over to the
new helper. KVM code is left as-is for the moment.

<asm/debug-monitors.h> relies on <asm/ptrace.h>, but doesn't
declare this dependency. This becomes a problem once
debug-monitors.h starts getting included all over the place to get
the BRK immedates.
The missing include of <asm/memory.h> (for UL()) in <asm/esr.h> is
also added. The series no longer relies on this, but I spotted it
during development and it may as well get fixed.
No functional change.

Until now, KVM/arm didn't care much for page aging (who was swapping
anyway?), and simply provided empty hooks to the core KVM code. With
server-type systems now being available, things are quite different.
This patch implements very simple support for page aging, by clearing
the Access flag in the Stage-2 page tables. On access fault, the current
fault handling will write the PTE or PMD again, putting the Access flag
back on.
It should be possible to implement a much faster handling for Access
faults, but that's left for a later patch.
With this in place, performance in VMs is degraded much more gracefully.

Now that all users have been moved over to the common ESR_ELx_* macros,
remove the redundant ESR_EL1 macros.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

To aid the developer when something triggers an unexpected exception,
decode the ESR_ELx.EC field when logging an ESR_ELx value. This doesn't
tell the developer the specifics of the exception encoded in the
remaining IL and ISS bits, but it can be helpful to distinguish between
exception classes (e.g. SError and a data abort) without having to
manually decode the field, which can be tiresome.

Currently we have separate ESR_EL{1,2}_* macros, despite the fact that
the encodings are common. While encodings are architected to refer to
the current EL or a lower EL, the macros refer to particular ELs (e.g.
ESR_ELx_EC_DABT_EL0). Having these duplicate definitions is redundant,
and their naming is misleading.
This patch introduces common ESR_ELx_* macros that can be used in all
cases, in preparation for later patches which will migrate existing
users over. Some additional cleanups are made in the process:
* Suffixes for particular exception levelts (e.g. _EL0, _EL1) are
replaced with more general _LOW and _CUR suffixes, matching the
architectural intent.
* ESR_ELx_EC_WFx, rather than ESR_ELx_EC_WFI is introduced, as this
EC encoding covers traps from both WFE and WFI. Similarly,
ESR_ELx_WFx_ISS_WFE rather than ESR_ELx_EC_WFI_ISS_WFE is introduced.
* Multi-bit fields are given consistently named _SHIFT and _MASK macros.
* UL() is used for compatiblity with assembly files.
* Comments are added for currently unallocated ESR_ELx.EC encodings.
For fields other than ESR_ELx.EC, macros are only implemented for fields
for which there is already an ESR_EL{1,2}_* macro.

For AArch32, bit 11 (WnR) of the FSR/ESR register is set when the fault
was caused by a write access and applications like Qemu rely on such
information being provided in sigcontext. This patch introduces the
ESR_EL1 tracking for the arm64 kernel faults and sets bit 11 accordingly
in compat sigcontext.

Somehow SERROR has acquired an additional 'R' in a couple of headers.
This patch removes them before they spread further. As neither instance
is in use yet, no other sites need to be fixed up.

The ESR_EL1 decoding process is a bit cryptic, and KVM has also
a need for the same constants.
Add a new esr.h file containing the appropriate exception classes
constants, and change entry.S to use it. Fix a small bug in the
EL1 breakpoint check while we're at it.
