ARM: kernel: implement stack pointer save array through MPIDR hashing
Current implementation of cpu_{suspend}/cpu_{resume} relies on the MPIDR to index the array of pointers where the context is saved and restored. The current approach works as long as the MPIDR can be considered a linear index, so that the pointers array can simply be dereferenced by using the MPIDR[7:0] value. On ARM multi-cluster systems, where the MPIDR may not be a linear index, to properly dereference the stack pointer array, a mapping function should be applied to it so that it can be used for arrays look-ups. This patch adds code in the cpu_{suspend}/cpu_{resume} implementation that relies on shifting and ORing hashing method to map a MPIDR value to a set of buckets precomputed at boot to have a collision free mapping from MPIDR to context pointers. The hashing algorithm must be simple, fast, and implementable with few instructions since in the cpu_resume path the mapping is carried out with the MMU off and the I-cache off, hence code and data are fetched from DRAM with no-caching available. Simplicity is counterbalanced with a little increase of memory (allocated dynamically) for stack pointers buckets, that should be anyway fairly limited on most systems. Memory for context pointers is allocated in a early_initcall with size precomputed and stashed previously in kernel data structures. Memory for context pointers is allocated through kmalloc; this guarantees contiguous physical addresses for the allocated memory which is fundamental to the correct functioning of the resume mechanism that relies on the context pointer array to be a chunk of contiguous physical memory. Virtual to physical address conversion for the context pointer array base is carried out at boot to avoid fiddling with virt_to_phys conversions in the cpu_resume path which is quite fragile and should be optimized to execute as few instructions as possible. Virtual and physical context pointer base array addresses are stashed in a struct that is accessible from assembly using values generated through the asm-offsets.c mechanism.
