ARM: Delete ARM11MPCore (ARM11 ARMv6K SMP) support 
This ARM11 SMP configuration was one of the first SMP configurations
the ARM kernel supported, but it has the downside of odd DMA handling,
odd cache tagging, and often (as of recent) completely broken cache
handling on the ARM RealView PB11MPCore test chips. To boot the
platform it was necessary to completely disable the cache.
When it comes to the EB 11MPCore it is unclear if this ever worked.

These reference designs are now the only ARMv6K SMP platforms.

As only reference designs of purely academic interest remain, and
since the special-cased DMA and PMU code is hard to maintain and
doesn't really work, it is not really worth our time.

Delete the ARM11MPCore support along with:

- The special DMA quirk CONFIG_DMA_CACHE_RWFO that is only used
  on ARMv6K SMP, and we are the last ARMV6K system leaving the
  building and the cache handling is awkward, so good-bye.

- The special PMU handling that was only used by ARM11MPCore.

The following is left behind:

- TIMER_OF_DECLARE(arm_twd_11mp, "arm,arm11mp-twd-timer", ...)
  in arch/arm/kernel/smp_twd.c, this is still in use by Marvell MMP3
  arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/mmp3.dtsi

- IRQCHIP_DECLARE(arm11mp_gic, "arm,arm11mp-gic", ...)
  in drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c, this is still in use by Marvell MMP3
  arch/arm/boot/dts/marvell/mmp3.dtsi

- A compatible for the arm11mpcore SCU, since this was mistakedly
  used for the Cortex-A9 version of RealView EB.

These are unfortunate but will need to be kept around for
compatibility. New Marvell-specific compatibles should however probably
be added.

Also creates /proc/cpu/swp_emulation for statistics.
In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex
trylock() operations with the assumption that the code will not
be preempted. This invalid assumption may be more likely to fail
with SWP emulation enabled, leading to deadlock of the user
application.
NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely
on an external transaction monitoring block called a global
monitor to maintain update atomicity. If your system does not
implement a global monitor, this option can cause programs that
perform SWP operations to uncached memory to deadlock.

bool "Harden the branch predictor against aliasing attacks" if EXPERT
depends on CPU_SPECTRE

help
Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors rely
on being able to manipulate the branch predictor for a victim
context by executing aliasing branches in the attacker context.
Such attacks can be partially mitigated against by clearing
internal branch predictor state and limiting the prediction
logic in some situations.
This config option will take CPU-specific actions to harden
the branch predictor against aliasing attacks and may rely on
specific instruction sequences or control bits being set by
the system firmware.
If unsure, say Y.

Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors can

taking an exception, a sequence of branches overwrites the branch
history, or branch history is invalidated.

bool "Enable kuser helpers in vector page" if !NEED_KUSER_HELPERS
depends on MMU
default y
help
Warning: disabling this option may break user programs.
Provide kuser helpers in the vector page. The kernel provides
helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location
in the high vector page to allow userspace to be independent of
the CPU type fitted to the system. This permits binaries to be
run on ARMv4 through to ARMv7 without modification.
See Documentation/arch/arm/kernel_user_helpers.rst for details.
However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used
by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating
exploits.
If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform
are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of
these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder
such exploits. However, in that case, if a binary or library
relying on those helpers is run, it will receive a SIGILL signal,
which will terminate the program.
Say N here only if you are absolutely certain that you do not
need these helpers; otherwise, the safe option is to say Y.

This option should be selected by machines which have a L2x0

The only effect of this option is to make CACHE_L2X0 and
related options available to the user for configuration.
Boards or SoCs which always require the cache controller
support to be present should select CACHE_L2X0 directly
instead of this option, thus preventing the user from
inadvertently configuring a broken kernel.

config PL310_ERRATA_588369
bool "PL310 errata: Clean & Invalidate maintenance operations do not invalidate clean lines"
help
The PL310 L2 cache controller implements three types of Clean &
Invalidate maintenance operations: by Physical Address
(offset 0x7F0), by Index/Way (0x7F8) and by Way (0x7FC).
They are architecturally defined to behave as the execution of a
clean operation followed immediately by an invalidate operation,
both performing to the same memory location. This functionality
is not correctly implemented in PL310 prior to r2p0 (fixed in r2p0)
as clean lines are not invalidated as a result of these operations.
config PL310_ERRATA_727915
bool "PL310 errata: Background Clean & Invalidate by Way operation can cause data corruption"
help
PL310 implements the Clean & Invalidate by Way L2 cache maintenance
operation (offset 0x7FC). This operation runs in background so that
PL310 can handle normal accesses while it is in progress. Under very
rare circumstances, due to this erratum, write data can be lost when
PL310 treats a cacheable write transaction during a Clean &
Invalidate by Way operation. Revisions prior to r3p1 are affected by
this errata (fixed in r3p1).
config PL310_ERRATA_753970
bool "PL310 errata: cache sync operation may be faulty"
help
This option enables the workaround for the 753970 PL310 (r3p0) erratum.
Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on
the store buffer still remains when the operation completes.
This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain and
this prevents it from merging any further writes. The workaround
is to replace the normal offset of cache sync operation (0x730)
by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310 register 0x740.
This has the same effect as the cache sync operation: store buffer
drain and waiting for all buffers empty.
config PL310_ERRATA_769419
bool "PL310 errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain"
help
On revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does
not automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable
writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading
to suboptimal I/O performance for drivers using coherent DMA.
This option adds a write barrier to the cpu_idle loop so that,
on systems with an outer cache, the store buffer is drained
explicitly.

help
Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to
provide DMA coherent memory. With the advent of ARMv7, mapping
memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour,
so on these CPUs, this option is forced on.
Multiple mappings with differing attributes is also unpredictable
on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative
prefetch, no harm appears to occur.
However, drivers may be missing the necessary barriers for ARMv6,
and therefore turning this on may result in unpredictable driver
behaviour. Therefore, we offer this as an option.
On some of the beefier ARMv7-M machines (with DMA and write
buffers) you likely want this enabled, while those that
didn't need it until now also won't need it in the future.
You are recommended say 'Y' here and debug any affected drivers.

If this is set, rodata will be made explicitly non-executable. This
provides protection on the rare chance that attackers might find and
use ROP gadgets that exist in the rodata section. This adds an
additional section-aligned split of rodata from kernel text so it
can be made explicitly non-executable. This padding may waste memory
space to gain the additional protection.
