When rewriting the assembly code to C code, it was useful to have
exported aliases or static functions so that we could keep the existing
common C code unmodified and at the same time rewrite arm64 from
assembly to C code, and later do the arm part.
Now when both are done, we really don't need this level of indirection
anymore, and it's time to save a few lines and brain cells.

- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture requires
break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but that's not
always possible on live page tables
- Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked to
the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom of
the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly) anywhere
in physical RAM
- Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is provided
by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the arm64 tree,
acked by Matt Fleming)
- Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
(initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c but
actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
dependencies)
- Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this allows
uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using LDTR/STTR
instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel, perform
unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection. The
set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to privileged
accesses via the UAO bit

"Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6. There are some relatively

In order to be able to move code outside of kvm/hyp, we need to make
the global hyp.h file accessible from a standard location.
include/asm/kvm_hyp.h seems good enough.

Currently, using BUG_ON() in header files is cumbersome, due to the fact
that asm/bug.h transitively includes a lot of other header files, resulting
in the actual BUG_ON() invocation appearing before its definition in the
preprocessor input. So let's reverse the #include dependency between
asm/bug.h and asm/debug-monitors.h, by moving the definition of BUG_BRK_IMM
from the latter to the former. Also fix up one user of asm/debug-monitors.h
which relied on a transitive include.

As we've now switched to the new world switch implementation,
remove the weak attributes, as nobody is supposed to override
it anymore.

Having the system register numbers as #defines has been a pain
since day one, as the ordering is pretty fragile, and moving
things around leads to renumbering and epic conflict resolutions.
Now that we're mostly acessing the sysreg file in C, an enum is
a much better type to use, and we can clean things up a bit.

So far, we've implemented the new world switch with a completely
different namespace, so that we could have both implementation
compiled in.
Let's take things one step further by adding weak aliases that
have the same names as the original implementation. The weak
attributes allows the new implementation to be overriden by the
old one, and everything still work.
At a later point, we'll be able to simply drop the old code, and
everything will hopefully keep working, thanks to the aliases we
have just added. This also saves us repainting all the callers.
