In preparation for removing addr_limit and set_fs() we must decouple the SDEI PAN/UAO manipulation from the uaccess code, and explicitly reinitialize these as required. SDEI enters the kernel with a non-architectural exception, and prior to the most recent revision of the specification (ARM DEN 0054B), PSTATE bits (e.g. PAN, UAO) are not manipulated in the same way as for architectural exceptions. Notably, older versions of the spec can be read ambiguously as to whether PSTATE bits are inherited unchanged from the interrupted context or whether they are generated from scratch, with TF-A doing the latter. We have three cases to consider: 1) The existing TF-A implementation of SDEI will clear PAN and clear UAO (along with other bits in PSTATE) when delivering an SDEI exception. 2) In theory, implementations of SDEI prior to revision B could inherit PAN and UAO (along with other bits in PSTATE) unchanged from the interrupted context. However, in practice such implementations do not exist. 3) Going forward, new implementations of SDEI must clear UAO, and depending on SCTLR_ELx.SPAN must either inherit or set PAN. As we can ignore (2) we can assume that upon SDEI entry, UAO is always clear, though PAN may be clear, inherited, or set per SCTLR_ELx.SPAN. Therefore, we must explicitly initialize PAN, but do not need to do anything for UAO. Considering what we need to do: * When set_fs() is removed, force_uaccess_begin() will have no HW side-effects. As this only clears UAO, which we can assume has already been cleared upon entry, this is not a problem. We do not need to add code to manipulate UAO explicitly. * PAN may be cleared upon entry (in case 1 above), so where a kernel is built to use PAN and this is supported by all CPUs, the kernel must set PAN upon entry to ensure expected behaviour. * PAN may be inherited from the interrupted context (in case 3 above), and so where a kernel is not built to use PAN or where PAN support is not uniform across CPUs, the kernel must clear PAN to ensure expected behaviour. This patch reworks the SDEI code accordingly, explicitly setting PAN to the expected state in all cases. To cater for the cases where the kernel does not use PAN or this is not uniformly supported by hardware we add a new cpu_has_pan() helper which can be used regardless of whether the kernel is built to use PAN. The existing system_uses_ttbr0_pan() is redefined in terms of system_uses_hw_pan() both for clarity and as a minor optimization when HW PAN is not selected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
