Will Deacon 4b3dc9679c arm64: force CONFIG_SMP=y and remove redundant #ifdefs
Nobody seems to be producing !SMP systems anymore, so this is just
becoming a source of kernel bugs, particularly if people want to use
coherent DMA with non-shared pages.

This patch forces CONFIG_SMP=y for arm64, removing a modest amount of
code in the process.

Mark Rutland 68234df4ea arm64: kill flush_cache_all()
The documented semantics of flush_cache_all are not possible to provide
for arm64 (short of flushing the entire physical address space by VA),
and there are currently no users; KVM uses VA maintenance exclusively,
cpu_reset is never called, and the only two users outside of arch code
cannot be built for arm64.

While cpu_soft_reset and related functions (which call flush_cache_all)
were thought to be useful for kexec, their current implementations only
serve to mask bugs. For correctness kexec will need to perform
maintenance by VA anyway to account for system caches, line migration,
and other subtleties of the cache architecture. As the extent of this
cache maintenance will be kexec-specific, it should probably live in the
kexec code.

This patch removes flush_cache_all, and related unused components,
preventing further abuse.

Steve Capper 29e5694054 arm64: mm: enable RCU fast_gup
Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM64.  We also need to force THP splits to
broadcast an IPI s.t.  we block in the fast_gup page walker.  As THP
splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable
performance degradation.

Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.

Steve Capper 923b8f5044 arm64: mm: Make icache synchronisation logic huge page aware
The __sync_icache_dcache routine will only flush the dcache for the
first page of a compound page, potentially leading to stale icache
data residing further on in a hugetlb page.

This patch addresses this issue by taking into consideration the
order of the page when flushing the dcache.

Catalin Marinas ebd88367de arm64: Remove __flush_dcache_page()
This function is only used in __sync_icache_dcache(), so remove it and
call __flush_dcache_area() directly. The flush_icache_user_range()
function is not used in the arm64 kernel.

Catalin Marinas 7249b79f6b arm64: Do not flush the D-cache for anonymous pages
The D-cache on AArch64 is VIPT non-aliasing, so there is no need to
flush it for anonymous pages.

Catalin Marinas b5b6c9e914 arm64: Avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()
The flush_dcache_page() function is called when the kernel modified a
page cache page. Since the D-cache on AArch64 does not have aliases
this function can simply mark the page as dirty for later flushing via
set_pte_at()/__sync_icache_dcache() if the page is executable (to ensure
the I-D cache coherency).

Catalin Marinas f1a0c4aa09 arm64: Cache maintenance routines
The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64
architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may
have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations
are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
