Kernel mode NEON can be used in task or softirq context, but only in
a non-nesting manner, i.e., softirq context is only permitted if the
interrupt was not taken at a point where the kernel was using the NEON
in task context.

This means all users of kernel mode NEON have to be aware of this
limitation, and either need to provide scalar fallbacks that may be much
slower (up to 20x for AES instructions) and potentially less safe, or
use an asynchronous interface that defers processing to a later time
when the NEON is guaranteed to be available.

Given that grabbing and releasing the NEON is cheap, we can relax this
restriction, by increasing the granularity of kernel mode NEON code, and
always disabling softirq processing while the NEON is being used in task
context.

<title>arm64: assembler: introduce wxN aliases for wN registers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4c4dcd3541f83d216f2e403cb83dd431e09759b1</id>
<content type='text'>
The AArch64 asm syntax has this slightly tedious property that the names
used in mnemonics to refer to registers depend on whether the opcode in
question targets the entire 64-bits (xN), or only the least significant
8, 16 or 32 bits (wN). When writing parameterized code such as macros,
this can be annoying, as macro arguments don't lend themselves to
indexed lookups, and so generating a reference to wN in a macro that
receives xN as an argument is problematic.

For instance, an upcoming patch that modifies the implementation of the
cond_yield macro to be able to refer to 32-bit registers would need to
modify invocations such as

  cond_yield	3f, x8

to

  cond_yield	3f, 8

so that the second argument can be token pasted after x or w to emit the
correct register reference. Unfortunately, this interferes with the self
documenting nature of the first example, where the second argument is
obviously a register, whereas in the second example, one would need to
go and look at the code to find out what '8' means.

So let's fix this by defining wxN aliases for all xN registers, which
resolve to the 32-bit alias of each respective 64-bit register. This
allows the macro implementation to paste the xN reference after a w to
obtain the correct register name.

The users of the conditional NEON yield macros have all been switched to
the simplified cond_yield macro, and so the NEON specific ones can be
removed.

<content type='text'>
In protected mode, late CPUs are not allowed to boot (enforced by
the PSCI relay). We can thus specialise the read_ctr macro to
always return a pre-computed, sanitised value. Special care is
taken to prevent the use of this custome version outside of
the protected mode.

Apple SoCs (A11 and newer) have some interrupt sources hardwired to the
FIQ line. We implement support for this by simply treating IRQs and FIQs
the same way in the interrupt vectors.

To support these systems, the FIQ mask bit needs to be kept in sync with
the IRQ mask bit, so both kinds of exceptions are masked together. No
other platforms should be delivering FIQ exceptions right now, and we
already unmask FIQ in normal process context, so this should not have an
effect on other systems - if spurious FIQs were arriving, they would
already panic the kernel.

We will soon need to turn the EL2 stage 1 MMU on and off in nVHE
protected mode, so refactor the set_sctlr_el1 macro to make it usable
for that purpose.
