[PATCH v2 19/38] arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for ARM64_HAS_DIT

[Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>]

In __cpu_suspend_exit() we use cpus_have_const_cap() to check for
ARM64_HAS_DIT but this is not necessary and cpus_have_final_cap() of
alternative_has_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_DIT cpucap is detected and patched (along with all other
cpucaps) before __cpu_suspend_exit() can run. We'll only use
__cpu_suspend_exit() as part of PSCI cpuidle or hibernation, and both of
these are intialized after system cpucaps are detected and patched: the
PSCI cpuidle driver is registered with a device_initcall, hibernation
restoration occurs in a late_initcall, and hibarnation saving is driven
by usrspace. Therefore it is not necessary to use cpus_have_const_cap(),
and using alternative_has_cap_*() or cpus_have_final_cap() is
sufficient.

This patch replaces the use of cpus_have_const_cap() with
alternative_has_cap_unlikely(), which will avoid generating code to test
the system_cpucaps bitmap and should be better for all subsequent calls
at runtime. To clearly document the ordering relationship between
suspend/resume and alternatives patching, an explicit check for
system_capabilities_finalized() is added to cpu_suspend() along with a
comment block, which will make it easier to spot issues if code is
changed in future to allow these functions to be reached earlier.
