Catalin Marinas 247055aa21 ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUs
This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and
__switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register.

Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page
tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the
kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in
the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and
newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory.

Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific
functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel
memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set
to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to
the LDR/STR ones.

The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only
access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still
works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register
(CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page
isn't possible.

The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok()
function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

* These functions have a non-standard call interface to make them more
* efficient, especially as they return an error value in addition to
* the "real" return value.
*
* __get_user_X
*
* Inputs: r0 contains the address
* Outputs: r0 is the error code
* r2, r3 contains the zero-extended value
* lr corrupted
*
* No other registers must be altered. (see <asm/uaccess.h>
* for specific ASM register usage).
*
* Note that ADDR_LIMIT is either 0 or 0xc0000000.
* Note also that it is intended that __get_user_bad is not global.
