ARM: 9263/1: use .arch directives instead of assembler command line flags

Similar to commit a6c30873ee4a ("ARM: 8989/1: use .fpu assembler
directives instead of assembler arguments").

GCC and GNU binutils support setting the "sub arch" via -march=,
-Wa,-march, target function attribute, and .arch assembler directive.

Clang was missing support for -Wa,-march=, but this was implemented in
clang-13.

The behavior of both GCC and Clang is to
prefer -Wa,-march= over -march= for assembler and assembler-with-cpp
sources, but Clang will warn about the -march= being unused.

clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-march=armv6k'
[-Wunused-command-line-argument]

Since most assembler is non-conditionally assembled with one sub arch
(modulo arch/arm/delay-loop.S which conditionally is assembled as armv4
based on CONFIG_ARCH_RPC, and arch/arm/mach-at91/pm-suspend.S which is
conditionally assembled as armv7-a based on CONFIG_CPU_V7), prefer the
.arch assembler directive.

Add a few more instances found in compile testing as found by Arnd and
Nathan.

mm: update legacy flush_tlb_* to use vma

1. These tlb flush functions have been using vma instead mm long time
ago, but there is still some comments use mm as parameter.

2. the actual struct we use is vm_area_struct instead of vma_struct.

3. remove unused flush_kern_tlb_page.

ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+

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.

ARM: mm: use inner-shareable barriers for TLB and user cache operations

System-wide barriers aren't required for situations where we only need
to make visibility and ordering guarantees in the inner-shareable domain
(i.e. we are not dealing with devices or potentially incoherent CPUs).

This patch changes the v7 TLB operations, coherent_user_range and
dcache_clean_area functions to user inner-shareable barriers. For cache
maintenance, only the store access type is required to ensure completion.

ARM: 7489/1: errata: fix workaround for erratum #720789 on UP systems

Commit 5a783cbc4836 ("ARM: 7478/1: errata: extend workaround for erratum
#720789") added workarounds for erratum #720789 to the range TLB
invalidation functions with the observation that the erratum only
affects SMP platforms. However, when running an SMP_ON_UP kernel on a
uniprocessor platform we must take care to preserve the ASID as the
workaround is not required.

This patch ensures that we don't set the ASID to 0 when flushing the TLB
on such a system, preserving the original behaviour with the workaround
disabled.

ARM: btc: avoid invalidating the branch target cache on kernel TLB maintanence

Kernel space needs very little in the way of BTC maintanence as most
mappings which are created and destroyed are non-executable, and so
could never enter the instruction stream.

The case which does warrant BTC maintanence is when a module is loaded.
This creates a new executable mapping, but at that point the pages have
not been initialized with code and data, so at that point they contain
unpredictable information. Invalidating the BTC at this stage serves
little useful purpose.

Before we execute module code, we call flush_icache_range(), which deals
with the BTC maintanence requirements. This ensures that we have a BTC
maintanence operation before we execute code via the newly created
mapping.

ARM: Allow SMP kernels to boot on UP systems

UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have,
so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite
parts of the kernel.

Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data
is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions,
thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker
to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values,
and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

Check whether the TLB operations need broadcasting on SMP systems

ARMv7 SMP hardware can handle the TLB maintenance operations
broadcasting in hardware so that the software can avoid the costly IPIs.
This patch adds the necessary checks (the MMFR3 CPUID register) to avoid
the broadcasting if already supported by the hardware.

arm: Use __INIT macro instead of .text.init.

arm is placing some code in the .text.init section, but it does not
reference that section in its linker scripts.

This change moves this code from the .text.init section to the
.init.text section, which is presumably where it belongs.
