When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on Cortex-A53, a load at EL0 from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32 bits of the virtual address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1 might return incorrect data. This patch works around the issue by writing to the contextidr_el1 register on the exception return path when returning to a 32-bit task. This workaround is patched in at runtime based on the MIDR value of the processor.

As we detect more architectural features at runtime, it makes sense to reuse the existing framework whilst avoiding to call a feature an erratum... This patch extract the core capability parsing, moves it into a new file (cpufeature.c), and let the CPU errata detection code use it.

Not all of the errata we have workarounds for apply necessarily to all SoCs, so people compiling a kernel for one very specific SoC may not need to patch the kernel. Introduce a new submenu in the "Platform selection" menu to allow people to turn off certain bugs if they are not affected. By default all of them are enabled. Normal users or distribution kernels shouldn't bother to deselect any bugs here, since the alternatives framework will take care of patching them in only if needed.

The ARM erratum 832075 applies to certain revisions of Cortex-A57, one of the workarounds is to change device loads into using load-aquire semantics. This is achieved using the alternatives framework. Signed-off-by: NAndre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

The ARM errata 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069 define the same workaround for these hardware issues in certain Cortex-A53 parts. Use the new alternatives framework and the CPU MIDR detection to patch "cache clean" into "cache clean and invalidate" instructions if an affected CPU is detected at runtime.

After each CPU has been started, we iterate through a list of CPU features or bugs to detect CPUs which need (or could benefit from) kernel code patches. For each feature/bug there is a function which checks if that particular CPU is affected. We will later provide some more generic functions for common things like testing for certain MIDR ranges. We do this for every CPU to cover big.LITTLE systems properly as well. If a certain feature/bug has been detected, the capability bit will be set, so that later the call to apply_alternatives() will trigger the actual code patching.
