Thomas Gleixner ae360a78f4 arm: Disable outer (L2) cache in kexec
kexec does not disable the outer cache before disabling the inner
caches in cpu_proc_fin(). So L2 is enabled across the kexec jump. When
the new kernel enables chaches again, it randomly crashes.

Disabling L2 before calling cpu_proc_fin() cures the problem.

Disabling L2 requires the following new functions: flush_all(),
inv_all() and disable(). Add them to outer_cache_fns and call them
from the kexec code.

Catalin Marinas 319f551a0a ARM: 5994/1: ARM: Add outer_cache_fns.sync function pointer (2/4)
This patch introduces the outer_cache_fns.sync function pointer together
with the OUTER_CACHE_SYNC config option that can be used to drain the
write buffer of the outer cache.

Catalin Marinas 33f663ff91 ARM: 5993/1: ARM: Move the outer_cache definitions into a separate file (1/4)
To avoid #include collisions with subsequent patches in the series, this
patch moves the outer_cache definitions to a separate asm/outercache.h
file.
