The arm64 module PLT code allocates all PLT entries in a single core section, since the overhead of having a separate init PLT section is not justified by the small number of PLT entries usually required for init code. However, the core and init module regions are allocated independently, and there is a corner case where the core region may be allocated from the VMALLOC region if the dedicated module region is exhausted, but the init region, being much smaller, can still be allocated from the module region. This leads to relocation failures if the distance between those regions exceeds 128 MB. (In fact, this corner case is highly unlikely to occur on arm64, but the issue has been observed on ARM, whose module region is much smaller). So split the core and init PLT regions, and name the latter ".init.plt" so it gets allocated along with (and sufficiently close to) the .init sections that it serves. Also, given that init PLT entries may need to be emitted for branches that target the core module, modify the logic that disregards defined symbols to only disregard symbols that are defined in the same section as the relocated branch instruction. Since there may now be two PLT entries associated with each entry in the symbol table, we can no longer hijack the symbol::st_size fields to record the addresses of PLT entries as we emit them for zero-addend relocations. So instead, perform an explicit comparison to check for duplicate entries. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

Commit f1b36dcb ("arm64: pmuv3: handle !PMUv3 when probing") is a little too restrictive, and prevents the use of of backwards compatible PMUv3 extenstions, which have a PMUver value other than 1. For instance, ARMv8.1 PMU extensions (as implemented by ThunderX2) are reported with PMUver value 4. Per the usual ID register principles, at least 0x1-0x7 imply a PMUv3-compatible PMU. It's not currently clear whether 0x8-0xe imply the same. For the time being, treat the value as signed, and with 0x1-0x7 treated as meaning PMUv3 is implemented. This may be relaxed by future patches.

We now trap accesses to CNTVCT_EL0 when the counter is broken enough to require the kernel to mediate the access. But it turns out that some existing userspace (such as OpenMPI) do probe for the counter frequency, leading to an UNDEF exception as CNTVCT_EL0 and CNTFRQ_EL0 share the same control bit. The fix is to handle the exception the same way we do for CNTVCT_EL0.

Since bbb56c27 ("arm64: Add detection code for broken .inst support in binutils"), running any make target that doesn't involve the cross compiler results in a spurious warning: $ make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig arch/arm64/Makefile:43: Detected assembler with broken .inst; disassembly will be unreliable while $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-arm-linux- menuconfig is silent (assuming your compiler is not affected). That's because the code that tests for the workaround is always run, irrespective of the current configuration being available or not. An easy fix is to make the detection conditional on CONFIG_ARM64 being defined, which is only the case when actually building something.

When probing via ACPI, we won't know up-front whether a CPU has a PMUv3 compatible PMU. Thus we need to consult ID registers during probe time. This patch updates our PMUv3 probing code to test for the presence of PMUv3 functionality before touching an PMUv3-specific registers, and before updating the struct arm_pmu with PMUv3 data. When a PMUv3-compatible PMU is not present, probing will return -ENODEV.

This patch adds framework code to handle parsing PMU data out of the MADT, sanity checking this, and managing the association of CPUs (and their interrupts) with appropriate logical PMUs.

Currently the ACPI parking protocol code needs to parse each CPU's MADT GICC table to extract the mailbox address and so on. Each time we parse a GICC table, we call back to the parking protocol code to parse it. This has been fine so far, but we're about to have more code that needs to extract data from the GICC tables, and adding a callback for each user is going to get unwieldy. Instead, this patch ensures that we stash a copy of each CPU's GICC table at boot time, such that anything needing to parse it can later request it. This will allow for other parsers of GICC, and for simplification to the ACPI parking protocol code. Note that we must store a copy, rather than a pointer, since the core ACPI code temporarily maps/unmaps tables while iterating over them. Since we parse the MADT before we know how many CPUs we have (and hence before we setup the percpu areas), we must use an NR_CPUS sized array.

Currently we have functions to request/free all IRQs for a given PMU. While this works today, this won't work for ACPI, where we don't know the full set of IRQs up front, and need to request them separately. To enable supporting ACPI, this patch splits out the cpu-local request/free into new functions, allowing us to request/free individual IRQs. As this makes it possible/necessary to request a PPI once per cpu, an additional check is added to detect mismatched PPIs. This shouldn't matter for the DT / platform case, as we check this when parsing.

For historical reasons, portions of the arm_pmu code use a cpu_pmu_ prefix rather than an armpmu_ prefix. While a minor annoyance, this hasn't been a problem thusfar. However, to enable ACPI support, we'll need to expose a few things in header files, and we should aim to keep those consistently namespaced. In preparation for exporting our IRQ request/free functions, rename these to have an armpmu_ prefix. For consistency, the 'cpu_pmu' parameter is also renamed to 'armpmu'.

We may have required this historically, but the perf core always disables an event's PMU when calling event::pmu::add(), so this is not necessary.

In cases where a device tree is not provided (ie ACPI based system), an empty fdt is generated by efistub. #address-cells and #size-cells are not set in the empty fdt, so they default to 1 (4 byte wide). This can be an issue on 64-bit systems where values representing addresses, etc may be 8 bytes wide as the default value does not align with the general requirements for an empty DTB, and is fragile when passed to other agents as extra care is required to read the entire width of a value. This issue is observed on Qualcomm Technologies QDF24XX platforms when kexec-tools inserts 64-bit addresses into the "linux,elfcorehdr" and "linux,usable-memory-range" properties of the fdt. When the values are later consumed, they are truncated to 32-bit. Setting #address-cells and #size-cells to 2 at creation of the empty fdt resolves the observed issue, and makes the fdt less fragile.

Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file. A user space tool, like kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating a separate region for the core's ELF header within crash kdump kernel memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load(). Then, its location will be advertised to crash dump kernel via a new device-tree property, "linux,elfcorehdr", and crash dump kernel preserves the region for later use with reserve_elfcorehdr() at boot time. On crash dump kernel, /proc/vmcore will access the primary kernel's memory with copy_oldmem_page(), which feeds the data page-by-page by ioremap'ing it since it does not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel. Meanwhile, elfcorehdr_read() is simple as the region is always mapped.

The protection is implemented by unmapping the relevant segments in crash dump kernel memory, rather than making it read-only as other archs do, to prevent coherency issues due to potential cache aliasing (with mismatched attributes). Page-level mappings are consistently used here so that we can change the attributes of segments in page granularity as well as shrink the region also in page granularity through /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size, putting the freed memory back to buddy system.

Add memblock_cap_memory_range() which will remove all the memblock regions except the memory range specified in the arguments. In addition, rework is done on memblock_mem_limit_remove_map() to re-implement it using memblock_cap_memory_range(). This function, like memblock_mem_limit_remove_map(), will not remove memblocks with MEMMAP_NOMAP attribute as they may be mapped and accessed later as "device memory." See the commit a571d4eb ("mm/memblock.c: add new infrastructure to address the mem limit issue"). This function is used, in a succeeding patch in the series of arm64 kdump suuport, to limit the range of usable memory, or System RAM, on crash dump kernel. (Please note that "mem=" parameter is of little use for this purpose.)
