commit 4c4a39dd5fe2d13e2d2fa5fceb8ef95d19fc389a upstream.
If there is a mismatch in the I/D min line size, we must
always use the system wide safe value both in applications
and in the kernel, while performing cache operations. However,
we have been checking more bits than just the min line sizes,
which triggers false negatives. We may need to trap the user
accesses in such cases, but not necessarily patch the kernel.
This patch fixes the check to do the right thing as advertised.
A new capability will be added to check mismatches in other
fields and ensure we trap the CTR accesses.

cachetype.h and cache.h are small and both obviously related to caches.
Merge them together to reduce clutter.

Increase the standard cacheline size to avoid having locks in the same
cacheline.
Cavium's ThunderX core implements cache lines of 128 byte size. With
current granulare size of 64 bytes (L1_CACHE_SHIFT=6) two locks could
share the same cache line leading a performance degradation.
Increasing the size fixes that.
Increasing the size has no negative impact to cache invalidation on
systems with a smaller cache line. There is an impact on memory usage,
but that's not too important for arm64 use cases.

As putting data which is read mostly together, we can avoid
unnecessary cache line bouncing.
Other architectures, such as ARM and x86, adopted the same idea.

The hardware provides the maximum cache line size in the system via the
CTR_EL0.CWG bits. This patch implements the cache_line_size() function
to read such information, together with a sanity check if the statically
defined L1_CACHE_BYTES is smaller than the hardware value.

The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64
architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may
have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations
are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
