Our selection of interrupts to consider for IRQ migration is sub-
standard. We were potentially including per-CPU interrupts in our
migration strategy, but omitting chained interrupts. This caused
some interrupts to remain on a downed CPU.
We were also trying to migrate interrupts which were not migratable,
resulting in an OOPS.
Instead, iterate over all interrupts, skipping per-CPU interrupts
or interrupts whose affinity does not include the downed CPU, and
attempt to set the affinity for every one else if their chip
implements irq_set_affinity().

Now that the GIC takes care of selecting a target interrupt from the
affinity mask, we don't need all this complexity in the core code
anymore. Just detect when we need to break affinity.

irqdesc's node member is supposed to mark the numa node number for the
interrupt. Our use of it is non-standard. Remove this, replacing the
functionality with a test of the affinity mask.

Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not
explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or
Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2
kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage
decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction
set state.
This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to
be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered
in ARM.
Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy.
A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when
support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support
the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that
the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

This writes a new value to PC which was obtained as the result of an ARM
ALU instruction. For ARMv7 and later this performs interworking.
On ARM kernels we shouldn't encounter any ALU instructions trying to
switch to Thumb mode so support for this isn't strictly necessary.
However, the approach taken in all other instruction decoding is for us
to avoid unpredictable modification of the PC for security reasons. This
is usually achieved by rejecting insertion of probes on problematic
instruction, but for ALU instructions we can't do this as it depends on
the contents of the CPU registers at the time the probe is hit. So, as
we require some form of run-time checking to trap undesirable PC
modification, we may as well simulate the instructions correctly, i.e.
in the way they would behave in the absence of a probe.

This patch improves the performance of LDM and STM instruction
emulation. This is desirable because.
- jprobes and kretprobes probe the first instruction in a function and,
when the frame pointer is omitted, this instruction is often a STM
used to push registers onto the stack.
- The STM and LDM instructions are common in the body and tail of
functions.
- At the same time as being a common instruction form, they also have
one of the slowest and most complicated simulation routines.
The approach taken to optimisation is to use emulation rather than
simulation, that is, a modified form of the instruction is run with
an appropriate register context.
Benchmarking on an OMAP3530 shows the optimised emulation is between 2
and 3 times faster than the simulation routines. On a Kirkwood based
device the relative performance was very significantly better than this.

The encoding of these instructions is substantially the same for both
ARM and Thumb, so we can have common decoding and simulation functions.
This patch moves the simulation functions from kprobes-arm.c to
kprobes-common.c. It also adds a new simulation function
(simulate_ldm1_pc) for the case where we load into PC because this may
need to interwork.
The instruction decoding is done by a custom function
(kprobe_decode_ldmstm) rather than just relying on decoding table
entries because we will later be adding optimisation code.

For hints which may have observable effects, like SEV (send event), we
use kprobe_emulate_none which emulates the hint by executing the
original instruction.
For NOP we simulate the instruction using kprobe_simulate_nop, which
does nothing. As probes execute with interrupts disabled this is also
used for hints which may block for an indefinite time, like WFE (wait
for event).
