Series arm64: Use memory copy instructions in kernel routines | expand

Make memcpy(), memmove() and memset() use the Armv8.8 FEAT_MOPS
instructions when implemented on the CPU.

The CPY*/SET* instructions copy or set a block of memory of arbitrary
size and alignment. They can be interrupted by the CPU and the copying
resumed later. Their performance is expected to be close to the best
generic copy/set sequence of loads/stores for a given CPU. Using them in
the kernel's copy/set routines therefore avoids the need to periodically
rewrite the routines to optimize for new microarchitectures. It could
also lead to a performance improvement for some CPUs and systems.

With this change the kernel will always use the instructions if they are
implemented on the CPU (and have not been disabled by the arm64.nomops
command line parameter). When not implemented the usual routines will be
used (patched via alternatives). Note, we need to patch B/NOP instead of
the whole sequence to avoid executing a partially patched sequence in
case the compiler generates a mem*() call inside the alternatives
patching code.

Note that MOPS instructions have relaxed behavior on Device memory, but
it is expected that these routines are not generally used on MMIO.

Note: For memcpy(), this uses the CPY* instructions instead of CPYF*, as
CPY* allows overlaps between the source and destination buffers, and
despite contradicting the C standard, compilers require that memcpy()
work on exactly overlapping source and destination:
