b3770b3252 arm64: smp: add missing completion for secondary boot
Commit 149c24151e ("ARM: SMP: use a timing out completion for cpu
hotplug") modified arm's CPU up path to use completions. It seems that
we only got half of this patch for arm64, so add the missing call to
complete.

6ba1bc826d arm64: elf: fix core dumping definitions for GP and FP registers
struct user_fp does not exist for arm64, so use struct user_fpsimd_state
instead for the ELF core dumping definitions. Furthermore, since we use
regset-based core dumping, we do not need definitions for dump_task_regs
and dump_fpu.

f46f979fda arm64: perf: use architected event for CPU cycle counter
We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so
that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle
counter instead.

The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the
architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other
event.

This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that
we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU
implementations.

8f34a1da35 arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for disabled breakpoints
If a debugger tries to zero a hardware debug control register, the
kernel will try to infer both the type and length of the breakpoint
in order to sanity-check against the requested regset type. This will
fail because the encoding will appear as a zero-length breakpoint.

This patch changes the control register setting so that disabled
breakpoints are treated as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY and no further
sanity-checking is required.

7797d17c59 arm64: ptrace: make structure padding explicit for debug registers
The user_hwdebug_state structure contains implicit padding to conform to
the alignment requirements of the AArch64 ABI (namely that aggregates
must be aligned to their most aligned member).

This patch fixes the ptrace functions operating on struct
user_hwdebug_state so that the padding is handled correctly.

91a27b2a75 vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it.  Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.

Most of the copies are verbatim.  compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t.  compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up).  compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.

08e875c16a arm64: SMP support
This patch adds SMP initialisation and spinlocks implementation for
AArch64. The spinlock support uses the new load-acquire/store-release
instructions to avoid explicit barriers. The architecture also specifies
that an event is automatically generated when clearing the exclusive
monitor state to wake up processors in WFE, so there is no need for an
explicit DSB/SEV instruction sequence. The SEVL instruction is used to
set the exclusive monitor locally as there is no conditional WFE and a
branch is more expensive.

For the SMP booting protocol, see Documentation/arm64/booting.txt.

b3901d54dc arm64: Process management
The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The
context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support
patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports
ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable
via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).

60ffc30d56 arm64: Exception handling
The patch contains the exception entry code (kernel/entry.S), pt_regs
structure and related accessors, undefined instruction trapping and
stack tracing.

AArch64 Linux kernel (including kernel threads) runs in EL1 mode using
the SP1 stack. The vectors don't have a fixed address, only alignment
(2^11) requirements.

9703d9d7f7 arm64: Kernel booting and initialisation
The patch adds the kernel booting and the initial setup code.
Documentation/arm64/booting.txt describes the booting protocol on the
AArch64 Linux kernel. This is subject to change following the work on
boot standardisation, ACPI.
