Will Deacon 26463188d8 arm64: Fix minor issues with the dcache_by_line_op macro 
[ Upstream commit 33309ecda0 ]

The dcache_by_line_op macro suffers from a couple of small problems:

First, the GAS directives that are currently being used rely on
assembler behavior that is not documented, and probably not guaranteed
to produce the correct behavior going forward. As a result, we end up
with some undefined symbols in cache.o:

$ nm arch/arm64/mm/cache.o
         ...
         U civac
         ...
         U cvac
         U cvap
         U cvau

This is due to the fact that the comparisons used to select the
operation type in the dcache_by_line_op macro are comparing symbols
not strings, and even though it seems that GAS is doing the right
thing here (undefined symbols by the same name are equal to each
other), it seems unwise to rely on this.

Second, when patching in a DC CVAP instruction on CPUs that support it,
the fallback path consists of a DC CVAU instruction which may be
affected by CPU errata that require ARM64_WORKAROUND_CLEAN_CACHE.

Solve these issues by unrolling the various maintenance routines and
using the conditional directives that are documented as operating on
strings. To avoid the complexity of nested alternatives, we move the
DC CVAP patching to __clean_dcache_area_pop, falling back to a branch
to __clean_dcache_area_poc if DCPOP is not supported by the CPU.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
