26584853a4 Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endian
Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian
(byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support:

- setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and
  user threads
- big-endian page table walking
- REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault
  processing as they are still little-endian format
- Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed
  to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to
  little-endian

991da17ec0 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.

8553cb67d2 Modern processors may need to drain the WB before WFI
Since WFI may cause the processor to enter a low-power mode, data may
still be in the write buffer. This patch adds a DSB (or DWB) to the
cpu_(v6|v7)_do_idle functions before the WFI.

This patch moves the SCU initialisation from __v6_setup to the

4b17244c13 [ARM] 4109/2: Add support for the RealView/EB MPCore revC platform
The kernel originally supported revB only. This patch enables revC by
default and adds a config option for building the kernel for the revB
platform. Since the SCU base address was hard-coded in the proc-v6.S
file (and only valid for RealView/EB revB), this patch also adds a
more generic support for defining the SCU information.

f2131d348f [ARM] Always mark ARMv6 PTWs outer cacheable
Other platforms other than SMP may have an outer cache.  For these, we
also need to mark the page table walks outer cacheable.  Since marking
the walks always outer cacheable apparantly has no side effects, we
might as well always mark them so.

However, we continue to only mark PTWs shared if we have SMP enabled.

ad1ae2fe7f [ARM] Unuse another Linux PTE bit
L_PTE_ASID is not really required to be stored in every PTE, since we
can identify it via the address passed to set_pte_at().  So, create
set_pte_ext() which takes the address of the PTE to set, the Linux
PTE value, and the additional CPU PTE bits which aren't encoded in
the Linux PTE value.

Also, move the VFP handling of the coprocessor access register into

8799ee9f49 [ARM] Set bit 4 on section mappings correctly depending on CPU
On some CPUs, bit 4 of section mappings means "update the
cache when written to".  On others, this bit is required to
be one, and others it's required to be zero.  Finally, on
ARMv6 and above, setting it turns on "no execute" and prevents
speculative prefetches.

With all these combinations, no one value fits all CPUs, so we
have to pick a value depending on the CPU type, and the area
we're mapping.

22b1908610 [ARM] nommu: provide a way for correct control register value selection
Most MMU-based CPUs have a restriction on the setting of the data cache
enable and mmu enable bits in the control register, whereby if the data
cache is enabled, the MMU must also be enabled.  Enabling the data
cache without the MMU is an invalid combination.

However, there are CPUs where the data cache can be enabled without the
MMU.

In order to allow these CPUs to take advantage of that, provide a
method whereby each proc-*.S file defines the control regsiter value
for use with nommu (with the MMU disabled.)  Later on, when we add
support for enabling the MMU on these devices, we can adjust the
"crval" macro to also enable the data cache for nommu.

6626a7076d [ARM] Control v6 'global' bit via Linux PTE entries
Unfortunately, we can't use the "user" bit in the page tables to
control whether a page table entry is "global" or "asid" specific,
since the vector page is mapped as "user" accessible but is not
process specific.

Therefore, give direct control of the ARMv6 "nG" (not global)
bit to the mm layers.
