replacing all ifndef with pargma once

All the kernel header files now use pargma once rather than the ifndef,
as the pre-processed C files do not change while header files
are protected with pargma once. This will also solve any naming issues
caused by ifndef.

Convert license tags to SPDX identifiers

This commit also converts our own copyright headers to directly use
SPDX, but leaves all other copyright header intact, only adding the
SPDX ident. As far as possible this commit also merges multiple
Data61 copyright statements/headers into one for consistency.

fastpath: force inline fastpath_restore

This inline function doesn't get inlined with -O3.
It affects the cold cache performance, so use always_inline
attribute to tell compiler always get it inlined.


# 0e62bc3a 01-Dec-2019 Victor Phan <Victor.Phan@data61.csiro.au>

Move vcpu_switch into Arch_switchToThread

Currently the vcpu_switch function is called in the setVMRoot function
after possible early returns. In order to make sure the vcpu is
always switched, the call is moved into Arch_switchToThread before the
call to setVMRoot.

mcs: scheduling context donation over ipc

After this commit, threads blocked on an endpoint can recieve a
scheduling context from the thread that wakes the blocked thread.

RFC-3: Update user context for ARM with thread IDs

Switched appropriate naming conventions.
Was using the aarch64, have switched to aarch64 names.

TIPDRURW -> tpidr_el0
TPIDRURO -> tpidrro_el0
TPIDRPRW -> tpidr_el1

Switch TLS register on aarch32 from TPIDURO (tpidrro_el0) to tpidr_ro so
that it can be written to from user-land.

Thread ID registers tpidr_el0 have been added to the user context for
aarch32 and aarch64.

Only the thread ID that is writeable from EL0 is saved in the TCB and
saved/restored on context switch.

Thread IDs that are only changed within a VM (the read-only thread ID
for exception level 0 and the thread ID for exception level 1) are
stored in the VCPU and saved and stored as part of VM enable/disable.

Thread IDs that are only changed with VMs have been separated out into
hypervisor code.


# fd83c0a3 20-Mar-2019 Curtis Millar <curtis.millar@data61.csiro.au>

Replace IPC_BUF_GLOBALS_FRAME with KERNEL_GLOBALS_FRAME

The globals frame no longer serves its original purpose of informing a
thread of its IPC buffer address, and instead as a virtual
implementation of thread ID registers.


# 01b73622 27-May-2019 Curtis Millar <curtis.millar@data61.csiro.au>

Consistent naming of FaultIP and NextIP in kernel

Always refer to the virtual register that stores the address of a fault
as FaultIP and the register that stores the return for a fault NextIP.


# d0930f67 18-Mar-2019 Anna Lyons <Anna.Lyons@data61.csiro.au>

style: consistently attach return type

Add attach-return-type to astyle


# 3d10ef0c 18-Mar-2019 Anna Lyons <Anna.Lyons@data61.csiro.au>

style: correct parenthesis padding

Use astyle's unpad-paren to unpad all parentheses that are not included
by pad-header, pad-oper, and pad-comma.


# b2030263 19-Oct-2018 Curtis Millar <curtis.millar@data61.csiro.au>

Store TLS_BASE in globals frame on fastpath switch.

The TLS_BASE stored in the globals frame needs to refer to the TLS_BASE
of the current thread and so must be maintained across all context
switches. (This was only being maintained on the slow path).


# 7d7f338b 07-Aug-2017 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

arm: Provide TLS_BASE virtual register

This commit provides a universal TLS_BASE virtual register on ARM, similar to as exists
on x86. Depending on the precise configuration this virtual register maps to a different
register
* aarch64: TPIDRURW is used for the TLS_BASE and is already declared and being saved
and restored on context switches, so this just adds TLS_BASE as an alias of it
* armv6: Has no hardware register for use for a TLS_BASE, and so the virtual register
gets stored into the globals frame
* armv7+: TPIDURO is used for TLS_BASE and so the restore paths are modified to load
TLS_BASE into it


# bff71896 26-Jun-2018 Anna Lyons <Anna.Lyons@data61.csiro.au>

arm: remove assumption that CONFIG_IPC_BUF_* must be set

Previously arm code assumed that either CONFIG_IPC_BUF_TPIDRURW or
CONFIG_IPC_BUF_GLOBALS_FRAME needed to be set. Given that neither of
these options are required for aarch64, remove this assumption and only
guard code with #ifdefs are required.

SELFOUR-806: aarch32 - Implement lazy FP save/restore

This commit implements lazy FP save/restore mechanism, required for user threads
when they use the FPU. The following caveats take place:

* Only support synchronous exceptions. No support for asynchronous ones.
* VFP opcodes are used instead of normal instructions to discard compiler warnings/errors.
* Support is limited to specific ARM subarchitectures we support and tested this commit on.
* Disable the FPU by default if users are not using it to avoid channels.
* FPU support is not verified yet.
* Will not work properly if using a VM that's running besides other VMs/threads that are using the FPU.


# 0f068083 29-Apr-2017 Rafal Kolanski <rafal.kolanski@nicta.com.au>

arm fastpath: reorder vcpu_switch / armv_contextSwitch_HWASID

In the original slow path, armv_contextSwitch_HWASID shoots first.

Verification can't reorder machine operations on hardware state we don't
model. This puts the fastpath into the same order as the slow path.

SELFOUR-836: arm-hyp: Config option for saving/loading vs trapping debug state

Provides a configuration option for enabling HDCR.TD* traps, or saving and loading debug
state on VCPU switches. Currently verification only plans to support the trap setting.

As this option complicates all of the #ifdef's related to debug registers even further,
abstractions for enabling/disabling each individual piece of the debug code for different
configuration options are also implemented.

Part of these refactored #ifdef guards was to remove the guards completely from libsel4
around the definitions of the number of breakpoints and watchpoints.


# de6d4772 30-Mar-2017 Rafal Kolanski <rafal.kolanski@nicta.com.au>

rename arch_tcb.vcpu -> arch_tcb.tcbVCPU, vcpu.tcb -> vcpu.vcpuTCB

struct vcpu { struct tcb* tcb; ...
struct arch_tcb { struct vcpu* vcpu; ...
and
struct tcb { struct arch_tcb tcbArch; ...

These conspire to generate a type error on verification side due to
assumptions about non-colliding names.

SELFOUR-745: ARM/SMP - Add lock/unlock code to kernel entry/exit points


# 48d17e1f 16-Jan-2017 Hesham Almatary <hesham.almatary@data61.csiro.au>

ARM/SMP: Prepare for ARM SMP adding stubs

Currently building ARM/SMP is broken. This commit:
1- Makes it possible to build ARM/SMP with stubs. Run-time SMP for ARM
DOES NOT WORK.
2- Can be a reference for future SMP targets to follow in order to
layout/add the minimal required files and functions needed to support SMP.
3- Builds for Sabre only. In order to support other platforms, ipi
interrupt ID should be defined in machine.h

x64: Rearrange endpoint_cap structure to improve fastpath speed

This looks like we're just swapping the positions of capEPBadge and capEPPtr,
but it turns out that the bitwise op being performed on capEPPtr to set the
high bits were part of the data dependency critical path, so this actually
does improve the speed by moving the bitwise op to capEPBadge (albeit it's
now an AND instead of an OR)

I initially set the field size to 32 bits, but it turns out that causes gcc
to emit an instruction (mov r32, r32) that causes the instruction decoder
to switch to the legacy decode path for the rest of the fast path for some
reason.

x64: Rearrange cnode_cap structure to improve fastpath speed


# 97bac234 08-Dec-2016 Thomas Sewell <Thomas.Sewell@nicta.com.au>

Remove many MODIFIES annotations.

These are redundant for any function which the C-to-Isabelle parser
actually analyses, which is now the vast majority of functions.


# fbafb777 28-Nov-2016 Donny Yang <work@kota.moe>

x64: Always set the high bits of certain pointers in the fastpath

seL4 is always in the top of memory, so the high bits of pointers are always 1.
The autogenerated unpacking code doesn't know that, however, so will try to
conditionally sign extend (in 64-bit mode), which wastes cycles in the fast
path. Instead, we can do the unpacking ourselves and explicitly set the high
bits.

SELFOUR-553: Support alternate IPC buffer locations without globals frame

This commit adds support for using the ThreadID registers of the ARM MPCore
platforms for storing the address of the IPC buffer instead of the globals
frame. The choice of using the user readable/writeable ThreadID register
is chosen, even though it means the user cannot use it for its own
purposes, as it leaves room in the future for doing TLS support in the
user read only register, where compilers expect it.

# e61a1056 03-Feb-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@nicta.com.au>

SELFOUR-56: Remove diminish rights from IPC

Diminish rights were to prevent a user from sending a writeable
cap over a read only endpoint. It turns out this 'security' can
be worked around without difficulty (by putting caps in a cnode
and sending the cnode) making the current diminish rights
implementation functionally useless.

Removing diminish rights has the benefit of simplifying all the
IPC paths.
