arm64: convert part of soft_restart() to assembly
The current soft_restart() and setup_restart implementations incorrectly assume that compiler will not spill/fill values to/from stack. However this assumption seems to be wrong, revealed by the disassembly of the currently existing code (v3.16) built with Linaro GCC 4.9-2014.05. ffffffc000085224 <soft_restart>: ffffffc000085224: a9be7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp,#-32]! ffffffc000085228: 910003fd mov x29, sp ffffffc00008522c: f9000fa0 str x0, [x29,#24] ffffffc000085230: 94003d21 bl ffffffc0000946b4 <setup_mm_for_reboot> ffffffc000085234: 94003b33 bl ffffffc000093f00 <flush_cache_all> ffffffc000085238: 94003dfa bl ffffffc000094a20 <cpu_cache_off> ffffffc00008523c: 94003b31 bl ffffffc000093f00 <flush_cache_all> ffffffc000085240: b0003321 adrp x1, ffffffc0006ea000 <reset_devices> ffffffc000085244: f9400fa0 ldr x0, [x29,#24] ----> spilled addr ffffffc000085248: f942fc22 ldr x2, [x1,#1528] ----> global memstart_addr ffffffc00008524c: f0000061 adrp x1, ffffffc000094000 <__inval_cache_range+0x40> ffffffc000085250: 91290021 add x1, x1, #0xa40 ffffffc000085254: 8b010041 add x1, x2, x1 ffffffc000085258: d2c00802 mov x2, #0x4000000000 // #274877906944 ffffffc00008525c: 8b020021 add x1, x1, x2 ffffffc000085260: d63f0020 blr x1 ... Here the compiler generates memory accesses after the cache is disabled, loading stale values for the spilled value and global variable. As we cannot control when the compiler will access memory we must rewrite the functions in assembly to stash values we need in registers prior to disabling the cache, avoiding the use of memory.
