[PATCH v5 00/32] ARM vmap'ed and IRQ stacks roundup

This v5 series is a combined followup to

- IRQ stacks support for v7 SMP systems [0],
- vmap'ed stacks support for v7 SMP systems[1],
- extending support for both IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks for all
  remaining configurations, including v6/v7 SMP multiplatform kernels
  and uniprocessor configurations including v7-M [2]

[0] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20211115084732.3704393-1-ardb@kernel.org/
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20211122092816.2865873-1-ardb@kernel.org/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20211206164659.1495084-1-ardb@kernel.org/

This work was queued up in the ARM tree for a while, but due to problems
with the vmap'ed stacks code, which was difficult to revert in
isolation, the whole stack was dropped again.

In order to prevent similar problems from occurring this time around,
the series was reorganized so that the vmap'ed stacks changes appear at
the very end, which also results in a more natural progression of the
changes.

Changes since v4:
- incorporate fixups to avoid build failures on Clang related to
  literals in subsections,
- switch from the ID map to swapper_pg_dir as early as possible when
  onlining a CPU on !LPAE, to ensure that the stack is mapped,
- use SMP_ON_UP patching to elide HWCAP_TLS tests on SMP+v6,
- clean up __switch_to() for Thumb2 a bit more,
- add patch to make the vmalloc_seq counter SMP safe,
- use enter_lazy_tlb() hook on !LPAE to ensure that the active_mm used
  by a kernel thread has a mapping for its vmap'ed stack,
