5ab1e18aa3 Revert "Merge remote-tracking branch 'msm-4.4/tmp-510d0a3f' into msm-4.4"
This reverts commit 9d6fd2c3e9 ("Merge remote-tracking branch
'msm-4.4/tmp-510d0a3f' into msm-4.4"), because it breaks the
dump parsing tools due to kernel can be loaded anywhere in the memory
now and not fixed at linear mapping.

13e05550e1 arm64: kernel: Add support for User Access Override
'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the
unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in
the normal way.

This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr*
instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables
UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory.

This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the
page tables, instead of testing addr<USER_DS, then using the kernel's
read/write permissions.

338d4f49d6 arm64: kernel: Add support for Privileged Access Never
'Privileged Access Never' is a new arm8.1 feature which prevents
privileged code from accessing any virtual address where read or write
access is also permitted at EL0.

This patch enables the PAN feature on all CPUs, and modifies {get,put}_user
helpers temporarily to permit access.

This will catch kernel bugs where user memory is accessed directly.
'Unprivileged loads and stores' using ldtrb et al are unaffected by PAN.

7797d17c59 arm64: ptrace: make structure padding explicit for debug registers
The user_hwdebug_state structure contains implicit padding to conform to
the alignment requirements of the AArch64 ABI (namely that aggregates
must be aligned to their most aligned member).

This patch fixes the ptrace functions operating on struct
user_hwdebug_state so that the padding is handled correctly.
