arm64: hibernate: avoid potential TLB conflict
In create_safe_exec_page we install a set of global mappings in TTBR0, then subsequently invalidate TLBs. While TTBR0 points at the zero page, and the TLBs should be free of stale global entries, we may have stale ASID-tagged entries (e.g. from the EFI runtime services mappings) for the same VAs. Per the ARM ARM these ASID-tagged entries may conflict with newly-allocated global entries, and we must follow a Break-Before-Make approach to avoid issues resulting from this. This patch reworks create_safe_exec_page to invalidate TLBs while the zero page is still in place, ensuring that there are no potential conflicts when the new TTBR0 value is installed. As a single CPU is online while this code executes, we do not need to perform broadcast TLB maintenance, and can call local_flush_tlb_all(), which also subsumes some barriers. The remaining assembly is converted to use write_sysreg() and isb(). Other than this, we safely manipulate TTBRs in the hibernate dance. The code we install as part of the new TTBR0 mapping (the hibernated kernel's swsusp_arch_suspend_exit) installs a zero page into TTBR1, invalidates TLBs, then installs its preferred value. Upon being restored to the middle of swsusp_arch_suspend, the new image will call __cpu_suspend_exit, which will call cpu_uninstall_idmap, installing the zero page in TTBR0 and invalidating all TLB entries.
