arm64: neon: Remove support for nested or hardirq kernel-mode NEON
Support for kernel-mode NEON to be nested and/or used in hardirq
context adds significant complexity, and the benefits may be
marginal. In practice, kernel-mode NEON is not used in hardirq
context, and is rarely used in softirq context (by certain mac80211
drivers).
This patch implements an arm64 may_use_simd() function to allow
clients to check whether kernel-mode NEON is usable in the current
context, and simplifies kernel_neon_{begin,end}() to handle only
saving of the task FPSIMD state (if any). Without nesting, there
is no other state to save.
The partial fpsimd save/restore functions become redundant as a
result of these changes, so they are removed too.
The save/restore model is changed to operate directly on
task_struct without additional percpu storage. This simplifies the
code and saves a bit of memory, but means that softirqs must now be
disabled when manipulating the task fpsimd state from task context:
correspondingly, preempt_{en,dis}sable() calls are upgraded to
local_bh_{en,dis}able() as appropriate. fpsimd_thread_switch()
already runs with hardirqs disabled and so is already protected
from softirqs.
These changes should make it easier to support kernel-mode NEON in
the presence of the Scalable Vector extension in the future.

arm64/fpsimd: Don't disable softirq when touching FPSIMD/SVE state
When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON, some part of
the kernel may be able to use FPSIMD/SVE. This is for instance the case
for crypto code.
Any use of FPSIMD/SVE in the kernel are clearly marked by using the
function kernel_neon_{begin, end}. Furthermore, this can only be used
when may_use_simd() returns true.
The current implementation of may_use_simd() allows softirq to use
FPSIMD/SVE unless it is currently in use (i.e kernel_neon_busy is true).
When in use, softirqs usually fall back to a software method.
At the moment, as a softirq may use FPSIMD/SVE, softirqs are disabled
when touching the FPSIMD/SVE context. This has the drawback to disable
all softirqs even if they are not using FPSIMD/SVE.
Since a softirq is supposed to check may_use_simd() anyway before
attempting to use FPSIMD/SVE, there is limited reason to keep softirq
disabled when touching the FPSIMD/SVE context. Instead, we can simply
disable preemption and mark the FPSIMD/SVE context as in use by setting
CPU's fpsimd_context_busy flag.
Two new helpers {get, put}_cpu_fpsimd_context are introduced to mark
the area using FPSIMD/SVE context and they are used to replace
local_bh_{disable, enable}. The functions kernel_neon_{begin, end} are
also re-implemented to use the new helpers.
Additionally, double-underscored versions of the helpers are provided to
called when preemption is already disabled. These are only relevant on
paths where irqs are disabled anyway, so they are not needed for
correctness in the current code. Let's use them anyway though: this
marks critical sections clearly and will help to avoid mistakes during
future maintenance.
The change has been benchmarked on Linux 5.1-rc4 with defconfig.

* hackbench 100 process 1000 (10 times)
* .7% quicker

arm64: fpsimd: Drop unneeded 'busy' flag
Kernel mode NEON will preserve the user mode FPSIMD state by saving it
into the task struct before clobbering the registers. In order to avoid
the need for preserving kernel mode state too, we disallow nested use of
kernel mode NEON, i..e, use in softirq context while the interrupted
task context was using kernel mode NEON too.
Originally, this policy was implemented using a per-CPU flag which was
exposed via may_use_simd(), requiring the users of the kernel mode NEON
to deal with the possibility that it might return false, and having NEON
and non-NEON code paths. This policy was changed by commit
13150149aa6ded1 ("arm64: fpsimd: run kernel mode NEON with softirqs
disabled"), and now, softirq processing is disabled entirely instead,
and so may_use_simd() can never fail when called from task or softirq
context.
This means we can drop the fpsimd_context_busy flag entirely, and
instead, ensure that we disable softirq processing in places where we
formerly relied on the flag for preventing races in the FPSIMD preserve
routines.
