ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).

We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.

Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

Commit 8bd26e3a7 (arm: delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage from all ARM
users) caused some code to leak into sections which are discarded
through the removal of __CPUINIT annotations. Add appropriate .text
annotations to bring these back into the kernel text.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

Without an MMU it is possible for userspace programs to start executing code
in places that they have no business executing. The MPU allows some level of
protection against this.

This patch protects the vectors page from access by userspace processes.
Userspace tasks that dereference a null pointer are already protected by an
svc at 0x0 that kills them. However when tasks use an offset from a null
pointer (eg a function in a null struct) they miss this carefully placed svc
and enter the exception vectors in user mode, ending up in the kernel.

This patch causes programs that do this to receive a SEGV instead of happily
entering the kernel in user-mode, and hence avoid a 'Bad Mode' panic.

As part of this change it is necessary to make sigreturn happen via the
stack when there is not an sa_restorer function. This change is invisible to
userspace, and irrelevant to code compiled using a uClibc toolchain, which
always uses an sa_restorer function.

Because we don't get to remap the vectors in !MMU kuser_helpers are not
in a defined location, and hence aren't usable. This means we don't need to
worry about keeping them accessible from PL0

The MPU initialisation on the primary core is performed in two stages, one
minimal stage to ensure the CPU can boot and a second one after
sanity_check_meminfo. As the memory configuration is known by the time we
boot secondary cores only a single step is necessary, provided the values
for DRSR are passed to secondaries.

This patch implements this arrangement. The configuration generated for the
MPU regions is made available to the secondary core, which can then use the
asm MPU intialisation code to program a complete region configuration.

This is necessary for SMP configurations without an MMU, as the MPU
initialisation is the only way to ensure that memory is specified as
'shared'.

This patch adds initial support for using the MPU, which is necessary for
SMP operation on PMSAv7 processors because it is the only way to ensure
memory is shared. This is an initial patch and full SMP support is added
later in this series.

The setup of the MPU is performed in a way analagous to that for the MMU:
Very early initialisation before the C environment is brought up, followed
by a sanity check and more complete initialisation in C.

This patch provides the simplest possible memory region configuration:
MPU_PROBE_REGION: Reserved for probing MPU details, not enabled
MPU_BG_REGION: A 'background' region that specifies all memory strongly ordered
MPU_RAM_REGION: A single shared, cacheable, normal region for the valid RAM.

In this early initialisation code we simply map the whole of the address
space with the BG_REGION and (at least) the kernel with the RAM_REGION. The
MPU has region alignment constraints that require us to round past the end
of the kernel.

As region 2 has a higher priority than region 1, it overrides the strongly-
ordered behaviour for RAM only.

Subsequent patches will add more complete initialisation from the C-world
and support for bringing up secondary CPUs.

Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.

This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.

Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.

A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

Since the debug macros no longer depend on the machine type information,
the machine type lookup can be deferred to setup_arch() in setup.c which
simplifies the code somewhat.

We also move the __error_a functionality into setup.c for displaying a
message when a bad machine ID is passed to the kernel via the LL debug
code. We also log this into the kernel ring buffer which makes it
possible to retrieve the message via a debugger.
