The ldrd and strd instructions work on a pair of consecutive registers.
It is possible to specify either the first register in the pair, or both
registers explicitly. Let's always do the later to make things clearer.

The naked attribute is known to confuse some old gcc versions when
function arguments aren't explicitly listed as inline assembly operands
despite the gcc documentation. That resulted in commit 9a40ac8615
("ARM: 6164/1: Add kto and kfrom to input operands list.").
Yet that commit has problems of its own by having assembly operand
constraints completely wrong. If the generated code has been OK since
then, it is due to luck rather than correctness. So this patch also
provides proper assembly operand constraints, and removes two instances
of redundant register usages in the implementation while at it.
Inspection of the generated code with this patch doesn't show any
obvious quality degradation either, so not relying on __naked at all
will make the code less fragile, and avoid some issues with clang.
The only remaining __naked instances (excluding the kprobes test cases)
are exynos_pm_power_up_setup(), tc2_pm_power_up_setup() and
cci_enable_port_for_self(. But in the first two cases, only the function
address is used by the compiler with no chance of inlining it by
mistake, and the third case is called from assembly code only. And the
fact that no stack is available when the corresponding code is executed
does warrant the __naked usage in those cases.

When functions incoming parameters are not in input operands list gcc
4.5 does not load the parameters into registers before calling this
function but the inline assembly assumes valid addresses inside this
function. This breaks the code because r0 and r1 are invalid when
execution enters v4wb_copy_user_page ()
Also the constant needs to be used as third input operand so account
for that as well.
Tested on qemu arm.

Resolve this by flushing the user mapping before copying the page
on processors with a writeback VIVT cache.
Note: this does have a performance impact, and so needs further
consideration before being merged - can we optimize out some of
the cache flushes if, eg, we know that the page isn't yet mapped?

Our copy_user_highpage() implementations may require cache maintainence.
Ensure that implementations have all necessary details to perform this
maintainence.

This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150
On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.

In all cases the kaddr is assigned an input register even though it is
modified in the assembly code. Let's assign a new variable to the
modified value and mark those inline asm with volatile otherwise they
get optimized away because the output variable is otherwise not used.
Also fix a few conversion errors in copypage-feroceon.c and
copypage-v4mc.c.

For similar reasons as copy_user_page(), we want to avoid the
additional kmap_atomic if it's unnecessary.
Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
We used to override the copy_user_page() function. However, this
is not only inefficient, it also causes additional complexity for
highmem support, since we convert from a struct page to a kernel
direct mapped address and back to a struct page again.
Moreover, with highmem support, we end up pointlessly setting up
kmap entries for pages which we're going to remap. So, push the
kmapping down into the copypage implementation files where it's
required.
