SMBIOS is important for server hardware vendors. It implements a spec for
providing descriptive information about the platform. Things like serial
numbers, physical layout of the ports, build configuration data, and the like.
This has been tested by dmidecode and lshw tools.
This patch adds the call to dmi_scan_machine() to arm64_enter_virtual_mode(),
as that is the point where the EFI Configuration Tables are registered as
being available. It needs to be in an early_initcall anyway as dmi_id_init(),
which is an arch_initcall itself, depends on dmi_scan_machine() having been
called already.

The kernel wants to enable reporting of asynchronous interrupts (i.e.
System Errors) as early as possible. But if this happens too early then
any pending System Error on initial entry into the kernel may never be
reported where a user can see it. This situation will occur if the kernel
is configured with CONFIG_PANIC_ON_OOPS set and (default or command line)
enabled, in which case the kernel will panic as intended, however the
associated logging messages indicating this failure condition will remain
only in the kernel ring buffer and never be flushed out to the (not yet
configured) console. Therefore, this patch moves the enabling of
asynchronous interrupts during early setup to as early as reasonable,
but after parsing any possible earlycon parameters setting up earlycon.

* cpuidle:
arm64: add PSCI CPU_SUSPEND based cpu_suspend support
arm64: kernel: introduce cpu_init_idle CPU operation
arm64: kernel: refactor the CPU suspend API for retention states
Documentation: arm: define DT idle states bindings
This patch implements the cpu_suspend cpu operations method through
the PSCI CPU SUSPEND API. The PSCI implementation translates the idle state
index passed by the cpu_suspend core call into a valid PSCI state according to
the PSCI states initialized at boot through the cpu_init_idle() CPU
operations hook.
The PSCI CPU suspend operation hook checks if the PSCI state is a
standby state. If it is, it calls the PSCI suspend implementation
straight away, without saving any context. If the state is a power
down state the kernel calls the __cpu_suspend API (that saves the CPU
context) and passed the PSCI suspend finisher as a parameter so that PSCI
can be called by the __cpu_suspend implementation after saving and flushing
the context as last function before power down.
For power down states, entry point is set to cpu_resume physical address,
that represents the default kernel execution address following a CPU reset.

The CPUidle subsystem on ARM64 machines requires the idle states
implementation back-end to initialize idle states parameter upon
boot. This patch adds a hook in the CPU operations structure that
should be initialized by the CPU operations back-end in order to
provide a function that initializes cpu idle states.
This patch also adds the infrastructure to arm64 kernel required
to export the CPU operations based initialization interface, so
that drivers (ie CPUidle) can use it when they are initialized
at probe time.

CPU suspend is the standard kernel interface to be used to enter
low-power states on ARM64 systems. Current cpu_suspend implementation
by default assumes that all low power states are losing the CPU context,
so the CPU registers must be saved and cleaned to DRAM upon state
entry. Furthermore, the current cpu_suspend() implementation assumes
that if the CPU suspend back-end method returns when called, this has
to be considered an error regardless of the return code (which can be
successful) since the CPU was not expected to return from a code path that
is different from cpu_resume code path - eg returning from the reset vector.
All in all this means that the current API does not cope well with low-power
states that preserve the CPU context when entered (ie retention states),
since first of all the context is saved for nothing on state entry for
those states and a successful state entry can return as a normal function
return, which is considered an error by the current CPU suspend
implementation.
This patch refactors the cpu_suspend() API so that it can be split in
two separate functionalities. The arm64 cpu_suspend API just provides
a wrapper around CPU suspend operation hook. A new function is
introduced (for architecture code use only) for states that require
context saving upon entry:
__cpu_suspend(unsigned long arg, int (*fn)(unsigned long))
__cpu_suspend() saves the context on function entry and calls the
so called suspend finisher (ie fn) to complete the suspend operation.
The finisher is not expected to return, unless it fails in which case
the error is propagated back to the __cpu_suspend caller.
The API refactoring results in the following pseudo code call sequence for a
suspending CPU, when triggered from a kernel subsystem:
/*
* int cpu_suspend(unsigned long idx)
* @idx: idle state index
*/
{
-> cpu_suspend(idx)
|---> CPU operations suspend hook called, if present
|--> if (retention_state)
|--> direct suspend back-end call (eg PSCI suspend)
else
|--> __cpu_suspend(idx, &back_end_finisher);
}
By refactoring the cpu_suspend API this way, the CPU operations back-end
has a chance to detect whether idle states require state saving or not
and can call the required suspend operations accordingly either through
simple function call or indirectly through __cpu_suspend() which carries out
state saving and suspend finisher dispatching to complete idle state entry.

Here the compiler generates memory accesses after the cache is disabled,

The static memory footprint of a kernel Image at boot is larger than the
Image file itself. Things like .bss data and initial page tables are allocated
statically but populated dynamically so their content is not contained in the
Image file.
However, if EFI (or GRUB) has loaded the Image at precisely the desired offset
of base of DRAM + TEXT_OFFSET, the Image will be booted in place, and we have
to make sure that the allocation done by the PE/COFF loader is large enough.
Fix this by growing the PE/COFF .text section to cover the entire static
memory footprint. The part of the section that is not covered by the payload
will be zero initialised by the PE/COFF loader.

In certain cases the cpu-release-addr of a CPU may not fall in the
linear mapping (e.g. when the kernel is loaded above this address due to
the presence of other images in memory). This is problematic for the
spin-table code as it assumes that it can trivially convert a
cpu-release-addr to a valid VA in the linear map.
This patch modifies the spin-table code to use a temporary cached
mapping to write to a given cpu-release-addr, enabling us to support
addresses regardless of whether they are covered by the linear mapping.

Now arm64 defers reloading FPSIMD state, but this optimization also
introduces the bug after cpu resume back from low power mode.
The reason is after the cpu has been powered off, s/w need set the
cpu's fpsimd_last_state to NULL so that it will force to reload
FPSIMD state for the thread, otherwise there has the chance to meet
the condition for both the task's fpsimd_state.cpu field contains the
id of the current cpu, and the cpu's fpsimd_last_state per-cpu variable
points to the task's fpsimd_state, so finally kernel will skip to reload
the context during it return back to userland.

When booting via UEFI, the kernel Image is loaded at a 4 kB boundary and
the embedded EFI stub is executed in place. The EFI stub relocates the
Image to reside TEXT_OFFSET bytes above a 2 MB boundary, and jumps into
the kernel proper.
In AArch64, PC relative symbol references are emitted using adrp/add or
adrp/ldr pairs, where the offset into a 4 kB page is resolved using a
separate :lo12: relocation. This implicitly assumes that the code will
always be executed at the same relative offset with respect to a 4 kB
boundary, or the references will point to the wrong address.
This means we should link the kernel at a 4 kB aligned base address in
order to remain compatible with the base address the UEFI loader uses
when doing the initial load of Image. So update the code that generates
TEXT_OFFSET to choose a multiple of 4 kB.
At the same time, update the code so it chooses from the interval [0..2MB)
as the author originally intended.

!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

The strings used to list IPIs in /proc/interrupts are reused for tracing
purposes.
While at it, the code is slightly cleaned up so the ipi_types array
indices are no longer offset by IPI_RESCHEDULE whose value is 0 anyway.

they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation,
and with 3.16-rc changes). Since they were all within the subsystem,
I took care of them.
Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.
New features for ARM include:
- KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
- Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
- Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)
And for PPC:
- Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
- Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support
This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440. As a result, the
PPC merge removes more lines than it adds. :)
I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an independent
bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by; there was no
reason to wait for -rc2.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.
- The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"
