For a while now it's been possible to use EXPORT_SYMBOL() in assembly files, which allows us to place exports immediately after assembly functions, as we do for C functions. As a step towards removing arm64ksyms.c, let's move the SMCCC exports to the assembly file the functions are defined in. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

So that we can export symbols directly from assembly files, let's make use of the generic <asm/export.h>. We have a few symbols that we'll want to conditionally export for !KASAN kernel builds, so we add a helper for that in <asm/assembler.h>.

The "L" AArch64 machine constraint, which we use for the "old" value in an LL/SC cmpxchg(), generates an immediate that is suitable for a 64-bit logical instruction. However, for cmpxchg() operations on types smaller than 64 bits, this constraint can result in an invalid instruction which is correctly rejected by GAS, such as EOR W1, W1, #0xffffffff. Whilst we could special-case the constraint based on the cmpxchg size, it's far easier to change the constraint to "K" and put up with using a register for large 64-bit immediates. For out-of-line LL/SC atomics, this is all moot anyway. Reported-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Our percpu code is a bit of an inconsistent mess: * It rolls its own xchg(), but reuses cmpxchg_local() * It uses various different flavours of preempt_{enable,disable}() * It returns values even for the non-returning RmW operations * It makes no use of LSE atomics outside of the cmpxchg() ops * There are individual macros for different sizes of access, but these are all funneled through a switch statement rather than dispatched directly to the relevant case This patch rewrites the per-cpu operations to address these shortcomings. Whilst the new code is a lot cleaner, the big advantage is that we can use the non-returning ST- atomic instructions when we have LSE. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

The asm-generic/preempt.h implementation doesn't make use of the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED flag, since this can interact badly with load/store architectures which rely on the preempt_count word being unchanged across an interrupt. However, since we're a 64-bit architecture and the preempt count is only 32 bits wide, we can simply pack it next to the resched flag and load the whole thing in one go, so that a dec-and-test operation doesn't need to load twice.

It's different, for example, from x86_64 and sparc64 where all supported hugepage sizes are available. * only default_hugepagesz= is specified and set not to HPAGE_SIZE In spite of the fact that default_hugepagesz= is set to a valid hugepage size, it's treated as unsupported and reverted to HPAGE_SIZE.

Some CPUs can speculate past an ERET instruction and potentially perform speculative accesses to memory before processing the exception return. Since the register state is often controlled by a lower privilege level at the point of an ERET, this could potentially be used as part of a side-channel attack. This patch emits an SB sequence after each ERET so that speculation is held up on exception return. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

We currently use a DSB; ISB sequence to inhibit speculation in set_fs(). Whilst this works for current CPUs, future CPUs may implement a new SB barrier instruction which acts as an architected speculation barrier.

We maintain two separate tables of capabilities, errata and features, which decide the system capabilities. We iterate over each of these tables for various operations (e.g, detection, verification etc.). We do not have a way to map a system "capability" to its entry, (i.e, cap -> struct arm64_cpu_capabilities) which is needed for this_cpu_has_cap(). So we iterate over the table one by one to find the entry and then do the operation. Also, this prevents us from optimizing the way we "enable" the capabilities on the CPUs, where we now issue a stop_machine() for each available capability. One solution is to merge the two tables into a single table, sorted by the capability. But this is has the following disadvantages: - We loose the "classification" of an errata vs. feature - It is quite easy to make a mistake when adding an entry, unless we sort the table at runtime. So we maintain a list of pointers to the capability entry, sorted by the "cap number" in a separate array, initialized at boot time. The only restriction is that we can have one "entry" per capability. While at it, remove the duplicate declaration of arm64_errata table.

readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR): readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section. readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section. Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate) PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well. - Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd, the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the same time. - Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings above). - Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of ld.bfd. - Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout. These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary image. [0] b9dce7f1 ("arm64: kernel: force ET_DYN ELF type for ...")

Improve the performance of the crc32() asm routines by getting rid of most of the branches and small sized loads on the common path. Instead, use a branchless code path involving overlapping 16 byte loads to process the first (length % 32) bytes, and process the remainder using a loop that processes 32 bytes at a time. Tested using the following test program: #include <stdlib.h> extern void crc32_le(unsigned short, char const*, int); int main(void) { static const char buf[4096]; srand(20181126); for (int i = 0; i < 100 * 1000 * 1000; i++) crc32_le(0, buf, rand() % 1024); return 0; } On Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57, the performance regresses but only very slightly. On Cortex-A72 however, the performance improves from $ time ./crc32 real 0m10.149s user 0m10.149s sys 0m0.000s to $ time ./crc32 real 0m7.915s user 0m7.915s sys 0m0.000s Cc: Rui Sun <sunrui26@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

The save_return_regs and restore_return_regs macros are only used by return_to_handler, and having them defined out-of-line only serves to obscure the logic. Before we complicate, let's clean this up and fold the logic directly into return_to_handler, saving a few lines of macro boilerplate in the process.

The core ftrace code requires that when it is handed the PC of an instrumented function, this PC is the address of the instrumented instruction. This is necessary so that the core ftrace code can identify the specific instrumentation site. Since the instrumented function will be a BL, the address of the instrumented function is LR - 4 at entry to the ftrace code. This fixup is applied in the mcount_get_pc and mcount_get_pc0 helpers, which acquire the PC of the instrumented function. The mcount_get_lr helper is used to acquire the LR of the instrumented function, whose value does not require this adjustment, and cannot be adjusted to anything meaningful. No adjustment of this value is made on other architectures, including arm. However, arm64 adjusts this value by 4. This patch brings arm64 in line with other architectures and removes the adjustment of the LR value.

Declaring a global symbol in assembly is tedious, error-prone, and painful to read. While ENTRY() exists, this is supposed to be used for function entry points, and this affects alignment in a potentially undesireable manner.

In order to reduce the possibility of soft lock-ups, we bound the maximum number of TLBI operations performed by a single call to flush_tlb_range() to an arbitrary constant of 1024. Whilst this does the job of avoiding lock-ups, we can actually be a bit smarter by defining this as PTRS_PER_PTE. Due to the structure of our page tables, using PTRS_PER_PTE means that an outer loop calling flush_tlb_range() for entire table entries will end up performing just a single TLBI operation for each entry. As an example, mremap()ing a 1GB range mapped using 4k pages now requires only 512 TLBI operations when moving the page tables as opposed to 262144 operations (512*512) when using the current threshold of 1024.

Now that we have switched to the small code model entirely, and reduced the extended KASLR range to 4 GB, we can be sure that the targets of relative branches that are out of range are in range for a ADRP/ADD pair, which is one instruction shorter than our current MOVN/MOVK/MOVK sequence, and is more idiomatic and so it is more likely to be implemented efficiently by micro-architectures.

The BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY check is a little too strict because it rejects MADT entries that don't match the currently known lengths. We should remove this restriction to avoid problems if the table length changes. Future code which might depend on additional fields should be written to validate those fields before using them, rather than trying to globally check known MADT version lengths.

A relatively standard idiom for ensuring that a pair of MMIO writes to a device arrive at that device with a specified minimum delay between them is as follows: writel_relaxed(42, dev_base + CTL1); readl(dev_base + CTL1); udelay(10); writel_relaxed(42, dev_base + CTL2); the intention being that the read-back from the device will push the prior write to CTL1, and the udelay will hold up the write to CTL1 until at least 10us have elapsed. Unfortunately, on arm64 where the underlying delay loop is implemented as a read of the architected counter, the CPU does not guarantee ordering from the readl() to the delay loop and therefore the delay loop could in theory be speculated and not provide the desired interval between the two writes. Fix this in a similar manner to PowerPC by introducing a dummy control dependency on the output of readX() which, combined with the ISB in the read of the architected counter, guarantees that a subsequent delay loop can not be executed until the readX() has returned its result.
