[PATCH v3 0/7] arm64: Privileged Access Never using TTBR0_EL1 switching

This is the third version of the arm64 PAN emulation using TTBR0_EL1
switching. The series has not yet included the alternative nop patches
from Mark Rutland, nor the empty_zero_page from Ard B. This will be done
in a subsequent version once 4.9-rc1 is out (which will include Mark's
alternative nop patches).

Changes since v2:

- efi_set_pgd() reworked to update the saved ttbr0 during run-time
  services as this value is used during exception return

- uaccess_(enable|disable) C macros no longer take an 'alt' parameter
  Instead, uaccess_(enable|disable)_not_uao are introduced for the case
  where hardware PAN switching is not required when UAO is present

- post_ttbr0_update_workaround macro no longer takes a 'ret' parameter

- system_supports_ttbr0_pan renamed to system_uses_ttbr0_pan

- init_thread_info.ttbr0 moved towards the end of the setup_arch()
  function and comment updated

- vmlinux.lds.S fixed to use RESERVED_TTBR0_SIZE

- Config option changed to ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN

- Some comment clean-ups and commit log updates

Catalin Marinas (7):
  arm64: Factor out PAN enabling/disabling into separate uaccess_*
    macros
  arm64: Factor out TTBR0_EL1 post-update workaround into a specific asm
    macro
  arm64: Introduce uaccess_{disable,enable} functionality based on
    TTBR0_EL1
  arm64: Disable TTBR0_EL1 during normal kernel execution
  arm64: Handle faults caused by inadvertent user access with PAN
    enabled
  arm64: xen: Enable user access before a privcmd hvc call
  arm64: Enable CONFIG_ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN

The patches are also available on this branch:
