ARM: 7763/1: kernel: fix __cpu_logical_map default initialization

The __cpu_logical_map array is statically initialized to 0, which is a valid
MPIDR value. To prevent issues with the current implementation, this patch
defines an MPIDR_INVALID value, and statically initializes the
__cpu_logical_map[] array to it. Entries in the arm_dt_init_cpu_maps()
tmp_map array used to stash DT reg properties while parsing DT are initialized
with the MPIDR_INVALID value as well for consistency.

ARM: kernel: build MPIDR hash function data structure

On ARM SMP systems, cores are identified by their MPIDR register.
The MPIDR guidelines in the ARM ARM do not provide strict enforcement of
MPIDR layout, only recommendations that, if followed, split the MPIDR
on ARM 32 bit platforms in three affinity levels. In multi-cluster
systems like big.LITTLE, if the affinity guidelines are followed, the
MPIDR can not be considered an index anymore. This means that the
association between logical CPU in the kernel and the HW CPU identifier
becomes somewhat more complicated requiring methods like hashing to
associate a given MPIDR to a CPU logical index, in order for the look-up
to be carried out in an efficient and scalable way.

This patch provides a function in the kernel that starting from the
cpu_logical_map, implement collision-free hashing of MPIDR values by checking
all significative bits of MPIDR affinity level bitfields. The hashing
can then be carried out through bits shifting and ORing; the resulting
hash algorithm is a collision-free though not minimal hash that can be
executed with few assembly instructions. The mpidr is filtered through a
mpidr mask that is built by checking all bits that toggle in the set of
MPIDRs corresponding to possible CPUs. Bits that do not toggle do not carry
information so they do not contribute to the resulting hash.

Pseudo code:

/* check all bits that toggle, so they are required */
for (i = 1, mpidr_mask = 0; i < num_possible_cpus(); i++)
mpidr_mask |= (cpu_logical_map(i) ^ cpu_logical_map(0));

/*
* Build shifts to be applied to aff0, aff1, aff2 values to hash the mpidr
* fls() returns the last bit set in a word, 0 if none
* ffs() returns the first bit set in a word, 0 if none
*/
fs0 = mpidr_mask[7:0] ? ffs(mpidr_mask[7:0]) - 1 : 0;
fs1 = mpidr_mask[15:8] ? ffs(mpidr_mask[15:8]) - 1 : 0;
fs2 = mpidr_mask[23:16] ? ffs(mpidr_mask[23:16]) - 1 : 0;
ls0 = fls(mpidr_mask[7:0]);
ls1 = fls(mpidr_mask[15:8]);
ls2 = fls(mpidr_mask[23:16]);
bits0 = ls0 - fs0;
bits1 = ls1 - fs1;
bits2 = ls2 - fs2;
aff0_shift = fs0;
aff1_shift = 8 + fs1 - bits0;
aff2_shift = 16 + fs2 - (bits0 + bits1);
u32 hash(u32 mpidr) {
u32 l0, l1, l2;
u32 mpidr_masked = mpidr & mpidr_mask;
l0 = mpidr_masked & 0xff;
l1 = mpidr_masked & 0xff00;
l2 = mpidr_masked & 0xff0000;
return (l0 >> aff0_shift | l1 >> aff1_shift | l2 >> aff2_shift);
}

The hashing algorithm relies on the inherent properties set in the ARM ARM
recommendations for the MPIDR. Exotic configurations, where for instance the
MPIDR values at a given affinity level have large holes, can end up requiring
big hash tables since the compression of values that can be achieved through
shifting is somewhat crippled when holes are present. Kernel warns if
the number of buckets of the resulting hash table exceeds the number of
possible CPUs by a factor of 4, which is a symptom of a very sparse HW
MPIDR configuration.

The hash algorithm is quite simple and can easily be implemented in assembly
code, to be used in code paths where the kernel virtual address space is
not set-up (ie cpu_resume) and instruction and data fetches are strongly
ordered so code must be compact and must carry out few data accesses.

If false the static mdesc->smp_ops will be used by default.

ARM: 7669/1: keep __my_cpu_offset consistent with generic one

Commit 14318efb(ARM: 7587/1: implement optimized percpu variable access)
introduces arm's __my_cpu_offset to optimize percpu vaiable access,
which really works well on hackbench, but will cause __my_cpu_offset
to return garbage value before it is initialized in cpu_init() called
by setup_arch, so accessing percpu variable before setup_arch may cause
kernel hang. But generic __my_cpu_offset always returns zero before
percpu area is brought up, and won't hang kernel.

So the patch tries to clear __my_cpu_offset on boot CPU early
to avoid boot hang.

At least now percpu variable is accessed by lockdep before
setup_arch(), and enabling CONFIG_LOCK_STAT or CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP
can trigger kernel hang.

ARM: default machine descriptor for multiplatform

Since we now have default implementations for init_time and init_irq,
the init_machine callback is the only one that is not yet optional,
but since simple DT based platforms all have the same
of_platform_populate function call in there, we can consolidate them
as well, and then actually boot with a completely empty machine_desc.
Unofortunately we cannot just default to an empty init_machine: We
cannot call of_platform_populate before init_machine because that
does not work in case of auxdata, and we cannot call it after
init_machine either because the machine might need to run code
after adding the devices.

To take the final step, this adds support for booting without defining
any machine_desc whatsoever.

For the case that CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM is enabled, it adds a
global machine descriptor that never matches any machine but is
used as a fallback if nothing else matches. We assume that without
CONFIG_MULTIPLATFORM, we only want to boot on the systems that the kernel
is built for, so we still retain the build-time warning for missing
machine descriptors and the run-time warning when the platform does not
match in that case.

In the case that we run on a multiplatform kernel and the machine
provides a fully populated device tree, we attempt to keep booting,
hoping that no machine specific callbacks are necessary.

Finally, this also removes the misguided "select ARCH_VEXPRESS" that
was only added to avoid a build error for allnoconfig kernels.

TPIDRPRW is only accessible in PL1, so it can only be used in the kernel.

This replaces 2 loads with a mrc instruction for each percpu variable

(highbank). Taking an average of 30 runs of "hackbench -l 1000" yields:

Before: 6.2191
After: 6.1348

Will Deacon reported similar delta on v6 with 11MPCore.

The asm "memory clobber" are needed here to ensure the percpu offset
gets reloaded. Testing by Will found that this would not happen in
__schedule() which is a bit of a special case as preemption is disabled
but the execution can move cores.

ARM: kernel: add cpu logical map DT init in setup_arch

As soon as the device tree is unflattened the cpu logical to physical
mapping is carried out in setup_arch to build a proper array of MPIDR and
corresponding logical indexes.

The mapping could have been carried out using the flattened DT blob and
related primitives, but since the mapping is not needed by early boot
code it can safely be executed when the device tree has been uncompressed to
its tree data structure.

This patch adds the arm_dt_init_cpu maps() function call in setup_arch().

If the kernel is not compiled with DT support the function is empty and
no logical mapping takes place through it; the mapping carried out in
smp_setup_processor_id() is left unchanged.
If DT is supported the mapping created in smp_setup_processor_id() is overriden.
The DT mapping also sets the possible cpus mask, hence platform
code need not set it again in the respective smp_init_cpus() functions.

heterogenous ARM systems this approach provides user space with incorrect
bits of information since CPU ids in the system might differ from the one
provided by the CPU reading the file.

This patch updates the cpuinfo show function so that a read from
/proc/cpuinfo prints HW information for all online CPUs at once, mirroring
x86 behaviour.

ARM: SoC: add per-platform SMP operations

This adds a 'struct smp_operations' to abstract the CPU initialization
and hot plugging functions on SMP systems, which otherwise conflict
in a multiplatform kernel. This also helps shmobile and potentially
others that have more than one method to do these.

To allow the kernel to continue building, the platform hooks are
defined as weak symbols which are overrided by the platform code.
Once all platforms are converted, the "weak" attribute will be
removed and the function made static.

Unlike the original version from Marc, this new version from Arnd
does not use a generalized abstraction for per-soc data structures
but only tries to solve the problem for the SMP operations. This
way, we can collapse the previous four data structures into a
single struct, which is less systematic but also easier to follow
as a causal reader.

ARM: 7465/1: Handle >4GB memory sizes in device tree and mem=size@start option

The memory regions which are passed to arm_add_memory() from
device tree blobs via early_init_dt_add_memory_arch() can
have sizes which are larger than will fit in a 32 bit integer,
so switch to using a phys_addr_t to hold them, to avoid
silently dropping the top 32 bits of the size. Similarly, use
phys_addr_t in early_mem() so that mem=size@start command line
options specifying more than 4GB behave sensibly.

ARM: integrate CMA with DMA-mapping subsystem

This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM
architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices
are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be
created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board
initialisation).

Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page
tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping
is updated to to match requested memory access type.

GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created
early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on
allocation time.

CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.
