Currently, when the kernel is configured with LPAE support, but the
CPU doesn't support it, the error message is fairly cryptic:
Error: unrecognized/unsupported processor variant (0x561f5811).
This messages is normally shown when there is an issue when comparing
the processor ID (CP15 0, c0, c0) with the values/masks described in
proc-v7.S. However, the same message is displayed when LPAE support is
enabled in the kernel configuration, but not available in the CPU,
after looking at ID_MMFR0 (CP15 0, c0, c1, 4). Having the same error
message is highly misleading.
This commit improves this by showing a different error message when
this situation occurs:
Error: Kernel with LPAE support, but CPU does not support LPAE.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

Macro __INIT is used to place various code in head-common.S into the init
section. This should be matched by a closing __FINIT. Also, add an
explicit ".text" to ensure subsequent code is placed into the correct
section; __FINIT is simply a closing marker to match __INIT and doesn't
guarantee to revert to .text.
This historically caused no problem, because macro __CPUINIT was used at
the exact location where __FINIT was missing, which then placed following
code into the cpuinit section. However, with commit 22f0a2736 "init.h:
remove __cpuinit sections from the kernel" applied, __CPUINIT becomes a
no-op, thus leaving all this code in the init section, rather than the
regular text section. This caused issues such as secondary CPU boot
failures or crashes.

This makes cr_alignment a constant 0 to break code that tries to modify
the value as it's likely that it's built on wrong assumption when
CONFIG_CPU_CP15 isn't defined. For code that is only reading the value 0
is more or less a fine value to report.

The dtb is passed to the kernel via register r2, which is the same
method that is used to pass an atags pointer. This patch modifies
__vet_atags to not clear r2 when it encounters a dtb image.

Since the debug macros no longer depend on the machine type information,
the machine type lookup can be deferred to setup_arch() in setup.c which
simplifies the code somewhat.
We also move the __error_a functionality into setup.c for displaying a
message when a bad machine ID is passed to the kernel via the LL debug
code. We also log this into the kernel ring buffer which makes it
possible to retrieve the message via a debugger.
Original idea from Grant Likely.

When DEBUG_LL is not set, we don't want __error_a re-entering
__lookup_machine_type - we want it to go to the error function. This
used to be the case before we reorganized the layout for hotplug cpu,
as we used to fall through to __error. With the changed layout, we
need an explicit branch here instead.

__lookup_processor_type
When hotplug CPU is enabled, we need to keep the list of supported CPUs,
their setup functions, and __lookup_processor_type in place so that we
can find and initialize secondary CPUs. Move these into the __CPUINIT

From: David Brown <davidb@quicinc.com>
The ATAG_CORE is allowed to be empty. Although this is handled
by parse_tag_core(), __vet_atags during startup rejects this tag
unless it contains data. Allow the initial tag to be either the
full size, or empty.

Since the Thumb-2 instructions can be 16-bit wide, data in the .text
sections may not be aligned to a 32-bit word and this leads to unaligned

head-common.S. There is no use of these in head.S itself, but they

these were not defined when compiling head-nommu.S (which includes
