Today the 'hvc' calling KVM or the hyp-stub is expected to preserve all
registers. KVM saves/restores the registers it needs on the EL2 stack using
do_el2_call(). The hyp-stub has no stack, later patches need to be able to
be able to clobber the link register.
Move the link register save/restore to the the call sites.

Recent UEFI versions expose permission attributes for runtime services
memory regions, either in the UEFI memory map or in the separate memory
attributes table. This allows the kernel to map these regions with
stricter permissions, rather than the RWX permissions that are used by
default. So wire this up in our mapping routine.
Note that in the absence of permission attributes, we still only map
regions of type EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICE_CODE with the executable bit set.
Also, we base the mapping attributes of EFI_MEMORY_MAPPED_IO on the
type directly rather than on the absence of the EFI_MEMORY_WB attribute.
This is more correct, but is also required for compatibility with the
upcoming support for the Memory Attributes Table, which only carries
permission attributes, not memory type attributes.

The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.
And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.
The new file is:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
127
Chaging it:
# echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
256
But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:
# echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
#
Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
of having no callchain users at that point.

If both ACPI and DT platform descriptions are available, and the
kernel was configured at build time to support both flavours, the
default policy is to prefer DT over ACPI, and preferring ACPI over
DT while still allowing DT as a fallback is not possible.
Since some enterprise features (such as RAS) depend on ACPI, it may
be desirable for, e.g., distro installers to prefer ACPI boot but
fall back to DT rather than failing completely if no ACPI tables are
available.
So introduce the 'acpi=on' kernel command line parameter for arm64,
which signifies that ACPI should be used if available, and DT should
only be used as a fallback.

When booting a relocatable kernel image, there is no practical reason
to refuse an image whose load address is not exactly TEXT_OFFSET bytes
above a 2 MB aligned base address, as long as the physical and virtual
misalignment with respect to the swapper block size are equal, and are
both aligned to THREAD_SIZE.
Since the virtual misalignment is under our control when we first enter
the kernel proper, we can simply choose its value to be equal to the
physical misalignment.
So treat the misalignment of the physical load address as the initial
KASLR offset, and fix up the remaining code to deal with that.

For historical reasons, the kernel Image must be loaded into physical
memory at a 512 KB offset above a 2 MB aligned base address. The region
between the base address and the start of the kernel Image has no
significance to the kernel itself, but it is currently mapped explicitly
into the early kernel VMA range for all translation granules.
In some cases (i.e., 4 KB granule), this is unavoidable, due to the 2 MB
granularity of the early kernel mappings. However, in other cases, e.g.,
when running with larger page sizes, or in the future, with more granular
KASLR, there is no reason to map it explicitly like we do currently.
So update the logic so that the region is mapped only if that happens as
a side effect of rounding the start address of the kernel to swapper block
size, and leave it unmapped otherwise.
Since the symbol kernel_img_size now simply resolves to the memory
footprint of the kernel Image, we can drop its definition from image.h
and opencode its calculation.

When building a relocatable kernel, we currently rely on the fact that
early 64-bit literal loads need to be deferred to after the relocation
has been performed only if they involve symbol references, and not if
they involve assemble time constants. While this is not an unreasonable
assumption to make, it is better to switch to movk/movz sequences, since
these are guaranteed to be resolved at link time, simply because there are

Refactor the relocation processing so that the code executes from the
ID map while accessing the relocation tables via the virtual mapping.
This way, we can use literals containing virtual addresses as before,
instead of having to use convoluted absolute expressions.
For symmetry with the secondary code path, the relocation code and the
subsequent jump to the virtual entry point are implemented in a function
called __primary_switch(), and __mmap_switched() is renamed to
__primary_switched(). Also, the call sequence in stext() is aligned with
the one in secondary_startup(), by replacing the awkward 'adr_l lr' and
'b cpu_setup' sequence with a simple branch and link.

However, since str_l resolves to

str \src, [\tmp, :lo12:\sym]
the temp register never actually holds the address of the variable but
only of the 4 KB window that covers it, and reusing it leads to the
wrong cacheline being invalidated. So instead, take the address
explicitly before doing the store, and reuse that value to perform

The mapping of the kernel consist of four segments, each of which is mapped
with different permission attributes and/or lifetimes. To optimize the TLB
and translation table footprint, we define various opaque constants in the
linker script that resolve to different aligment values depending on the
page size and whether CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set.
Considering that
- a 4 KB granule kernel benefits from a 64 KB segment alignment (due to
the fact that it allows the use of the contiguous bit),
- the minimum alignment of the .data segment is THREAD_SIZE already, not
PAGE_SIZE (i.e., we already have padding between _data and the start of
the .data payload in many cases),
- 2 MB is a suitable alignment value on all granule sizes, either for
mapping directly (level 2 on 4 KB), or via the contiguous bit (level 3 on
16 KB and 64 KB),
- anything beyond 2 MB exceeds the minimum alignment mandated by the boot
protocol, and can only be mapped efficiently if the physical alignment
happens to be the same,
we can simplify this by standardizing on 64 KB (or 2 MB) explicitly, i.e.,
regardless of granule size, all segments are aligned either to 64 KB, or to
2 MB if CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y. This also means we can drop the Kconfig
dependency of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA on CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES.

Keeping .head.text out of the .text mapping buys us very little: its actual
payload is only 4 KB, most of which is padding, but the page alignment may
add up to 2 MB (in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y) of additional
padding to the uncompressed kernel Image.
Also, on 4 KB granule kernels, the 4 KB misalignment of .text forces us to
map the adjacent 56 KB of code without the PTE_CONT attribute, and since
this region contains things like the vector table and the GIC interrupt
handling entry point, this region is likely to benefit from the reduced TLB
pressure that results from PTE_CONT mappings.
So remove the alignment between the .head.text and .text sections, and use
the [_text, _etext) rather than the [_stext, _etext) interval for mapping
the .text segment.

__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.
