79e9aa59dc arm64: sdei: Add trampoline code for remapping the kernel
When CONFIG_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 is set the SDEI entry point and the rest
of the kernel may be unmapped when we take an event. If this may be the
case, use an entry trampoline that can switch to the kernel page tables.

We can't use the provided PSTATE to determine whether to switch page
tables as we may have interrupted the kernel's entry trampoline, (or a
normal-priority event that interrupted the kernel's entry trampoline).
Instead test for a user ASID in ttbr1_el1.

Save a value in regs->addr_limit to indicate whether we need to restore
the original ASID when returning from this event. This value is only used
by do_page_fault(), which we don't call with the SDEI regs.

f5df269618 arm64: kernel: Add arch-specific SDEI entry code and CPU masking
The Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI) is an ARM standard
for registering callbacks from the platform firmware into the OS.
This is typically used to implement RAS notifications.

Such notifications enter the kernel at the registered entry-point
with the register values of the interrupted CPU context. Because this
is not a CPU exception, it cannot reuse the existing entry code.
(crucially we don't implicitly know which exception level we interrupted),

Add the entry point to entry.S to set us up for calling into C code. If
the event interrupted code that had interrupts masked, we always return
to that location. Otherwise we pretend this was an IRQ, and use SDEI's
complete_and_resume call to return to vbar_el1 + offset.

This allows the kernel to deliver signals to user space processes. For
KVM this triggers the world switch, a quick spin round vcpu_run, then
back into the guest, unless there are pending signals.

Add sdei_mask_local_cpu() calls to the smp_send_stop() code, this covers
the panic() code-path, which doesn't invoke cpuhotplug notifiers.

Because we can interrupt entry-from/exit-to another EL, we can't trust the
value in sp_el0 or x29, even if we interrupted the kernel, in this case
the code in entry.S will save/restore sp_el0 and use the value in
__entry_task.

When we have VMAP stacks we can interrupt the stack-overflow test, which
stirs x0 into sp, meaning we have to have our own VMAP stacks. For now
these are allocated when we probe the interface. Future patches will add
refcounting hooks to allow the arch code to allocate them lazily.

ad6eb31ef9 firmware: arm_sdei: Add driver for Software Delegated Exceptions
The Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI) is an ARM standard
for registering callbacks from the platform firmware into the OS.
This is typically used to implement firmware notifications (such as
firmware-first RAS) or promote an IRQ that has been promoted to a
firmware-assisted NMI.

Add the code for detecting the SDEI version and the framework for
registering and unregistering events. Subsequent patches will add the
arch-specific backend code and the necessary power management hooks.

Only shared events are supported, power management, private events and
discovery for ACPI systems will be added by later patches.
