We use cpus_have_const_cap() to check for ARM64_HAS_EPAN but this is not necessary and alternative_has_cap() or cpus_have_cap() would be preferable. For historical reasons, cpus_have_const_cap() is more complicated than it needs to be. Before cpucaps are finalized, it will perform a bitmap test of the system_cpucaps bitmap, and once cpucaps are finalized it will use an alternative branch. This used to be necessary to handle some race conditions in the window between cpucap detection and the subsequent patching of alternatives and static branches, where different branches could be out-of-sync with one another (or w.r.t. alternative sequences). Now that we use alternative branches instead of static branches, these are all patched atomically w.r.t. one another, and there are only a handful of cases that need special care in the window between cpucap detection and alternative patching. Due to the above, it would be nice to remove cpus_have_const_cap(), and migrate callers over to alternative_has_cap_*(), cpus_have_final_cap(), or cpus_have_cap() depending on when their requirements. This will remove redundant instructions and improve code generation, and will make it easier to determine how each callsite will behave before, during, and after alternative patching. The ARM64_HAS_EPAN cpucap is used to affect two things: 1) The permision bits used for userspace executable mappings, which are chosen by adjust_protection_map(), which is an arch_initcall. This is called after the ARM64_HAS_EPAN cpucap has been detected and alternatives have been patched, and before any userspace translation tables exist. 2) The handling of faults taken from (user or kernel) accesses to userspace executable mappings in do_page_fault(). Userspace translation tables are created after adjust_protection_map() is called, and hence after the ARM64_HAS_EPAN cpucap has been detected and alternatives have been patched. Neither of these run until after ARM64_HAS_EPAN cpucap has been detected and alternatives have been patched, and hence there's no need to use cpus_have_const_cap(). Since adjust_protection_map() is only executed once at boot time it would be best for it to use cpus_have_cap(), and since do_page_fault() is executed frequently it would be best for it to use alternatives_have_cap_unlikely(). This patch replaces the uses of cpus_have_const_cap() with cpus_have_cap() and alternative_has_cap_unlikely(), which will avoid generating redundant code, and should be better for all subsequent calls at runtime. The ARM64_HAS_EPAN cpucap is added to cpucap_is_possible() so that code can be elided entirely when this is not possible.
