This hwcap was added earlier for 32-bit native arm kernel by commit
62ea0d873af3 ("ARM: 9269/1: vfp: Add hwcap for FEAT_DotProd") and hence the
corresponding changes added in 32-bit compat arm64 kernel for similar user
interfaces.
Advanced Dot product is a feature (FEAT_DotProd) present in both
AArch32/AArch64 state for Armv8 and is already advertised in native arm64
kernel.

SVE has a separate identification register indicating support for BFloat16
operations. Add a hwcap identifying support for EBF16 in this register,
mirroring what we did for the non-SVE case.
While there is currently an architectural requirement for BF16 support to
be the same in SVE and non-SVE contexts there are separate identification
registers this separate hwcap helps avoid issues if that requirement were
to be relaxed in the future, we have already chosen to have a separate
capability for base BF16 support.

When we added support for AT_HWCAP2 we took advantage of the fact that we
have limited hwcaps to the low 32 bits and stored it along with AT_HWCAP
in a single unsigned integer. Thanks to the ever expanding capabilities of
the architecture we have now allocated all 64 of the bits in an unsigned
long so in preparation for adding more hwcaps convert elf_hwcap to be a
bitmap instead, with 64 bits allocated to each AT_HWCAP.
There should be no functional change from this patch.

The MaverickCrunch support for ep93xx never made it into glibc and
was removed from gcc in its 4.8 release in 2012. It is now one of
the last parts of arch/arm/ that fails to build with the clang
integrated assembler, which is unlikely to ever want to support it.
The two alternatives are to force the use of binutils/gas when
building the crunch support, or to remove it entirely.
According to Hartley Sweeten:
"Martin Guy did a lot of work trying to get the maverick crunch working
but I was never able to successfully use it for anything. It "kind"
of works but depending on the EP93xx silicon revision there are still
a number of hardware bugs that either give imprecise or garbage results.
I have no problem with removing the kernel support for the maverick
crunch."
Unless someone else comes up with a good reason to keep it around,
remove it now. This touches mostly the ep93xx platform, but removes
a bit of code from ARM common ptrace and signal frame handling as well.
If there are remaining users of MaverickCrunch, they can use LTS
kernels for at least another five years before kernel support ends.

HWCAP name arrays (hwcap_str, compat_hwcap_str, compat_hwcap2_str) that are
scanned for /proc/cpuinfo are detached from their bit definitions making it
vulnerable and difficult to correlate. It is also bit problematic because
during /proc/cpuinfo dump these arrays get traversed sequentially assuming
they reflect and match actual HWCAP bit sequence, to test various features
for a given CPU. This redefines name arrays per their HWCAP bit definitions
. It also warns after detecting any feature which is not expected on arm64.

This patch adds the bare minimum required to expose the ARMv8.5
Branch Target Identification feature to userspace.
By itself, this does _not_ automatically enable BTI for any initial
executable pages mapped by execve(). This will come later, but for
now it should be possible to enable BTI manually on those pages by
using mprotect() from within the target process.
Other arches already using the generic mman.h are already using
0x10 for arch-specific prot flags, so we use that for PROT_BTI
here.
For consistency, signal handler entry points in BTI guarded pages
are required to be annotated as such, just like any other function.
This blocks a relatively minor attack vector, but comforming
userspace will have the annotations anyway, so we may as well
enforce them.

As we will exhaust the first 32 bits of AT_HWCAP let's start
exposing AT_HWCAP2 to userspace to give us up to 64 caps.
Whilst it's possible to use the remaining 32 bits of AT_HWCAP, we
prefer to expand into AT_HWCAP2 in order to provide a consistent
view to userspace between ILP32 and LP64. However internal to the
kernel we prefer to continue to use the full space of elf_hwcap.
To reduce complexity and allow for future expansion, we now
represent hwcaps in the kernel as ordinals and use a
KERNEL_HWCAP_ prefix. This allows us to support automatic feature
based module loading for all our hwcaps.
We introduce cpu_set_feature to set hwcaps which complements the
existing cpu_have_feature helper. These helpers allow us to clean
up existing direct uses of elf_hwcap and reduce any future effort
required to move beyond 64 caps.
For convenience we also introduce cpu_{have,set}_named_feature which
makes use of the cpu_feature macro to allow providing a hwcap name
without a {KERNEL_}HWCAP_ prefix.
