[PATCH 00/15] arm64/kvm: use common sysreg definitions

[Mark Rutland]

Currently we duplicate effort in maintaining system register encodings across
arm64's <asm/sysreg.h>, KVM's sysreg tables, and other places. This redundancy
is unfortunate, and as encodings are encoded in-place without any mnemonic,
this ends up more painful to read than necessary.

This series ameliorates this by making <asm/sysreg.h> the canonical location
for (architected) system register encodings, with other users building atop of
this, e.g. with KVM deriving its sysreg table values from the common mnemonics.

I've only attacked AArch64-native SYS encodings, and ignored CP{15,14}
registers for now, but these could be handled similarly. Largely, I've stuck to
only what KVM needs, though for the debug and perfmon groups it was easier to
take the whole group from the ARM ARM than to filter them to only what KVM
needed today.

To verify that I haven't accidentally broken KVM, I've diffed sys_regs.o and
sys_regs_generic_v8.o on a section-by-section basis before and after the series
is applied. The .text, .data, and .rodata sections (and most others) are
identical. The __bug_table section, and some .debug* sections differ, and this
appears to be due to line numbers changing due to removed lines.

One thing I wasn't sure how to address was banks of registers such as
PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0. We currently enumerate all cases for our GICv3 definitions,
but it seemed painful to expand ~30 cases for PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 and friends, and
for these I've made the macros take an 'n' parameter. It would be nice to be
consistent either way, and I'm happy to expand those cases.

I've pushed thes series out to a branch [1] based on v4.11-rc1. It looks like
git rebase is also happy to apply the patches atop of the kvm-arm-for-4.11-rc2
tag.

Thanks,
Mark.

Since RFC [2]:
* Rebase to v4.11-rc1, solving a trivial conflict.
* Handle the physical counter registers.
* Verified section differences again.

Thanks,
Mark.
