[PATCH v5 2/3] arm64: vmlinux.ld: Add mmuoff text and data sections

James Morse james.morse at arm.com

Resume from hibernate needs to clean any text executed by the kernel with
the MMU off to the PoC. Collect these functions together into a new
.mmuoff.text section.

Data is more complicated, secondary_holding_pen_release is written with
the MMU on, clean and invalidated, then read with the MMU off. In contrast
__boot_cpu_mode is written with the MMU off, the corresponding cache line
is invalidated, so when we read it with the MMU on we don't get stale data.
These cache maintenance operations conflict with each other if the values
are within a Cache Writeback Granule (CWG) of each other.
Collect the data into two sections .mmuoff.data.read and .mmuoff.data.write,
the linker script ensures mmuoff.data.write section is aligned to the
architectural maximum CWG of 2KB.

Changes since v4:
 * Moved alignment rules out of assembly into the linker script.
 * Split mmuoff.data into two sections one written with the mmu off, the other
   read with the mmu off. CWG alignment only applies to mmuoff.data.write
 * Fixed PE/COFF alignment breakage.
