[PATCH v4 0/9] arm64: Work around for mismatched cache line size

[Suzuki K Poulose]

This series adds a work around for systems with mismatched {I,D}-cache
line sizes. When a thread of execution gets migrated to a different CPU,
the cache line size it had cached could be larger than that of the new
CPU. This could cause data corruption issues. We work around this by

 - Dynamically patching the kernel to use the smallest line size on the
   system (from the CPU feature infrastructure)
 - Trapping the userspace access to CTR_EL0 (by clearing SCTLR_EL1.UCT) and
   emulating it with the system wide safe value of CTR.

The series also adds support for alternative code patching of adrp
instructions by adjusting the PC-relative address offset to reflect
the new PC.

The series has been tested on Juno with a hack to forced enabling
of the capability.

Applies on aarch64 for-next/core.

Changes since V3:
 - Use ldr_l for arm64_ftr_reg_ctrel0+ARM64_FTR_SYS_VAL, saving one
   instruction.
 - Added Acked-by's from Andre

Changes since V2:
 - Rebase to for-next/core which contains Ard's series for refactoring
   the arm64_ftr_reg [1]

Changes since V1:

 - Replace adr_adrp insn helper with seperate helpers for adr and adrp.
 - Add/use align_down() macro for adjusting the page address for adrp offsets.
 - Add comments for existing ISS field defintions.
 - Added a patch to disallow silent patching of unhandled pc relative
   instructions in alternative code patching.
