Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the
cache line to make cache operation have the desired effect on the
SMP MPCore CPU. However, the ownership is never acquired in the
v6_dma_inv_range function when cleaning the first line and
flushing the last one, in case the address is not aligned
to D_CACHE_LINE_SIZE boundary.
Fix this by reading/writing data if needed, before performing
cache operations.
While at it, fix v6_dma_flush_range to prevent RWFO outside
the buffer.

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.

Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).
This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.
In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:
* .quad and .double:
.align 3
* .long, .word, .single, .float:
.align (or .align 2)
* .short:
No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
immediately after an instruction.
In this specific case, we can achieve the desired alignment by
forcing a 32-bit branch instruction using the W() macro, since the
assembler location counter is already 32-bit aligned in this case.

Use memblock information to setup lowmem mappings rather than the
membank array.
This allows platforms to manipulate the memblock information during
initialization to reserve (and remove) memory from the kernel's view
of memory - and thus allowing platforms to setup their own private
mappings for this memory without causing problems with multiple
aliasing mappings:
size = min(size, SZ_2M);
base = memblock_alloc(size, min(align, SZ_2M));
memblock_free(base, size);
memblock_remove(base, size);
This is needed because multiple mappings of regions with differing
attributes (sharability, type, cache) are not permitted with ARMv6
and above.

Christoph reported a nice splat which illustrated a race in the new stack
based kmap_atomic implementation.
The problem is that we pop our stack slot before we're completely done
resetting its state -- in particular clearing the PTE (sometimes that's
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM). If an interrupt happens before we actually clear
the PTE used for the last slot, that interrupt can reuse the slot in a
dirty state, which triggers a BUG in kmap_atomic().
Fix this by introducing kmap_atomic_idx() which reports the current slot
index without actually releasing it and use that to find the PTE and delay
the _pop() until after we're completely done.

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.
The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)
and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.
The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

We need to round memory regions correctly -- specifically, we need to
round reserved region in the more expansive direction (lower limit
down, upper limit up) whereas usable memory regions need to be rounded
in the more restrictive direction (lower limit up, upper limit down).
This introduces two set of inlines:
memblock_region_memory_base_pfn()
memblock_region_memory_end_pfn()
memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn()
memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn()
Although they are antisymmetric (and therefore are technically
duplicates) the use of the different inlines explicitly documents the
programmer's intention.
The lack of proper rounding caused a bug on ARM, which was then found
to also affect other architectures.

UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have,
so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite

Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data

thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker
to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values,
and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

When the policy for user space is to ignore misaligned accesses from user
space, the processor then performs a documented rotation on the accessed
data. This is the result of the access being trapped, and the kernel
disabling the alignment trap before returning to user space again.
In kernel space we always want misaligned accesses to be fixed up. This
is enforced by always re-enabling the alignment trap on every entry into
kernel space from user space. No such re-enabling is performed when an
exception occurs while already in kernel space as the alignment trap is
always supposed to be enabled in that case.
There is however a small race window when a misaligned access in user
space is trapped and the alignment trap disabled, but the CPU didn't
return to user space just yet. Any exception would be entered from kernel
space at that point and the kernel would then execute with the alignment
trap disabled.

ARMv7 onwards requires that there are no aliases to the same physical
location using different memory types (i.e. Normal vs Strongly Ordered).
Access to SO mappings when the unaligned accesses are handled in
hardware is also Unpredictable (pgprot_noncached() mappings in user
space).
The /dev/mem driver requires uncached mappings with O_SYNC. The patch
implements the phys_mem_access_prot() function which generates Strongly
Ordered memory attributes if !pfn_valid() (independent of O_SYNC) and
Normal Noncacheable (writecombine) if O_SYNC.

ARMv7 processors like Cortex-A9 broadcast the cache maintenance
operations in hardware. This patch allows the
flush_dcache_page/update_mmu_cache pair to work in lazy flushing mode
similar to the UP case.
Note that cache flushing on SMP systems now takes place via the
set_pte_at() call (__sync_icache_dcache) and there is no race with other
CPUs executing code from the new PTE before the cache flushing took
place.

On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a
different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in
update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in
set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC).
This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and
implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards
architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the
update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a
vm_area_struct is required.
