Currently we use an open-coded memzero to clear the BSS. As it is a trivial implementation, it is sub-optimal. Our optimised memset doesn't use the stack, is position-independent, and for the memzero case can use of DC ZVA to clear large blocks efficiently. In __mmap_switched the MMU is on and there are no live caller-saved registers, so we can safely call an uninstrumented memset. This patch changes __mmap_switched to use memset when clearing the BSS. We use the __pi_memset alias so as to avoid any instrumentation in all kernel configurations.

In work_pending, we may skip work if the stacked SPSR value represents anything other than an EL0 context. We then immediately invoke the kernel_exit 0 macro as part of ret_to_user, assuming a return to EL0. This is somewhat confusing. We use work_pending as part of the ret_to_user/ret_fast_syscall state machine. We only use ret_fast_syscall in the return from an SVC issued from EL0. We use ret_to_user for return from EL0 exception handlers and also for return from ret_from_fork in the case the task was not a kernel thread (i.e. it is a user task). Thus in all cases the stacked SPSR value must represent an EL0 context, and the check is redundant. This patch removes it, along with the now unused no_work_pending label.

Initialising the suppport for EFI runtime services requires us to allocate a pgd off the back of an early_initcall. On systems where the PGD_SIZE is smaller than PAGE_SIZE (e.g. 64k pages and 48-bit VA), the pgd_cache isn't initialised at this stage, and we panic with a NULL dereference during boot: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 __create_mapping.isra.5+0x84/0x350 create_pgd_mapping+0x20/0x28 efi_create_mapping+0x5c/0x6c arm_enable_runtime_services+0x154/0x1e4 do_one_initcall+0x8c/0x190 kernel_init_freeable+0x84/0x1ec kernel_init+0x10/0xe0 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x50 This patch fixes the problem by initialising the pgd_cache earlier, in the pgtable_cache_init callback, which sounds suspiciously like what it was intended for.

The test whether a movz instruction with a signed immediate should be turned into a movn instruction (i.e., when the immediate is negative) is flawed, since the value of imm is always positive. Also, the subsequent bounds check is incorrect since the limit update never executes, due to the fact that the imm_type comparison will always be false for negative signed immediates. Let's fix this by performing the sign test on sval directly, and replacing the bounds check with a simple comparison against U16_MAX.

Commit ac7b406c ("arm64: Use pr_* instead of printk") was a fairly mindless s/printk/pr_*/ change driven by a complaint from checkpatch. As is usual with such changes, this has led to some odd behaviour on arm64: * syslog now picks up the "pr_emerg" line from dump_backtrace, but not the actual trace, which leads to a bunch of "kernel:Call trace:" lines in the log * __{pte,pmd,pgd}_error print at KERN_CRIT, as opposed to KERN_ERR which is used by other architectures. This patch restores the original printk behaviour for dump_backtrace and downgrade the pgtable error macros to KERN_ERR. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame to hook a function's return. This will result in many useless entries (return_to_handler) showing up in a call stack list. We will fix this problem in a later patch ("arm64: ftrace: fix a stack tracer's output under function graph tracer"). But since real return addresses are saved in ret_stack[] array in struct task_struct, unwind functions need to be notified of, in addition to a stack pointer address, which task is being traced in order to find out real return addresses. This patch extends unwind functions' interfaces by adding an extra argument of a pointer to task_struct.

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame by calling ftrace_prepare_return() in a traced function's function prologue. The current code does this modification before preserving an original address at ftrace_push_return_trace() and there is always a small window of inconsistency when an interrupt occurs. This doesn't matter, as far as an interrupt stack is introduced, because stack tracer won't be invoked in an interrupt context. But it would be better to proactively minimize such a window by moving the LR modification after ftrace_push_return_trace().

sysrq_handle_reboot() re-enables interrupts while on the irq stack. The irq_stack implementation wrongly assumed this would only ever happen via the softirq path, allowing it to update irq_count late, in do_softirq_own_stack(). This means if an irq occurs in sysrq_handle_reboot(), during emergency_restart() the stack will be corrupted, as irq_count wasn't updated. Lose the optimisation, and instead of moving the adding/subtracting of irq_count into irq_stack_entry/irq_stack_exit, remove it, and compare sp_el0 (struct thread_info) with sp & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1). This tells us if we are on a task stack, if so, we can safely switch to the irq stack. Finally, remove do_softirq_own_stack(), we don't need it anymore.

The arm64 MMU supports a Contiguous bit which is a hint that the TTE is one of a set of contiguous entries which can be cached in a single TLB entry. Supporting this bit adds new intermediate huge page sizes. The set of huge page sizes available depends on the base page size. Without using contiguous pages the huge page sizes are as follows. 4KB: 2MB 1GB 64KB: 512MB With a 4KB granule, the contiguous bit groups together sets of 16 pages and with a 64KB granule it groups sets of 32 pages. This enables two new huge page sizes in each case, so that the full set of available sizes is as follows. 4KB: 64KB 2MB 32MB 1GB 64KB: 2MB 512MB 16GB If a 16KB granule is used then the contiguous bit groups 128 pages at the PTE level and 32 pages at the PMD level. If the base page size is set to 64KB then 2MB pages are enabled by default. It is possible in the future to make 2MB the default huge page size for both 4KB and 64KB granules.

In systems with three levels of cache(PoU at L1 and PoC at L3), PoC cache flush instructions flushes L2 and L3 caches which could affect performance. For cache flushes for I and D coherency, PoU should suffice. So changing all I and D coherency related cache flushes to PoU. Introduced a new __clean_dcache_area_pou API for dcache flush till PoU and provided a common macro for __flush_dcache_area and __clean_dcache_area_pou. Also, now in __sync_icache_dcache, icache invalidation for non-aliasing VIPT icache is done only for that particular page instead of the earlier __flush_icache_all.

The code for switching to irq_stack stores three pieces of information on the stack, fp+lr, as a fake stack frame (that lets us walk back onto the interrupted tasks stack frame), and the address of the struct pt_regs that contains the register values from kernel entry. (which dump_backtrace() will print in any stack trace). To reduce this, we store fp, and the pointer to the struct pt_regs. unwind_frame() can recognise this as the irq_stack dummy frame, (as it only appears at the top of the irq_stack), and use the struct pt_regs values to find the missing interrupted link-register.

We drop __cpu_setup in .text.init, which ends up being part of .text. The .text.init section was a legacy section name which has been unused elsewhere for a long time. The ".text.init" name is misleading if read as a synonym for ".init.text". Any CPU may execute __cpu_setup before turning the MMU on, so it should simply live in .text. Remove the pointless section assignment. This will leave __cpu_setup in the .text section.

Currently we treat the alternatives separately from other data that's only used during initialisation, using separate .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement linker sections. These are freed for general allocation separately from .init*. This is problematic as: * We do not remove execute permissions, as we do for .init, leaving the memory executable. * We pad between them, making the kernel Image bianry up to PAGE_SIZE bytes larger than necessary. This patch moves the two sections into the contiguous region used for .init*. This saves some memory, ensures that we remove execute permissions, and allows us to remove some code made redundant by this reorganisation.

Currently we place an ALIGN_DEBUG_RO between text and data for the .text and .init sections, and depending on configuration each of these may result in up to SECTION_SIZE bytes worth of padding (for DEBUG_RODATA_ALIGN). We make no distinction between the text and data in each of these sections at any point when creating the initial page tables in head.S. We also make no distinction when modifying the tables; __map_memblock, fixup_executable, mark_rodata_ro, and fixup_init only work at section granularity. Thus this padding is unnecessary. For the spit between init text and data we impose a minimum alignment of 16 bytes, but this is also unnecessary. The init data is output immediately after the padding before any symbols are defined, so this is not required to keep a symbol for linker a section array correctly associated with the data. Any objects within the section will be given at least their usual alignment regardless. This patch removes the redundant padding.

This patch allows unwind_frame() to traverse from interrupt stack to task stack correctly. It requires data from a dummy stack frame, created during irq_stack_entry(), added by a later patch. A similar approach is taken to modify dump_backtrace(), which expects to find struct pt_regs underneath any call to functions marked __exception. When on an irq_stack, the struct pt_regs is stored on the old task stack, the location of which is stored in the dummy stack frame.

There is need for figuring out how to manage struct thread_info data when IRQ stack is introduced. struct thread_info information should be copied to IRQ stack under the current thread_info calculation logic whenever context switching is invoked. This is too expensive to keep supporting the approach. Instead, this patch pays attention to sp_el0 which is an unused scratch register in EL1 context. sp_el0 utilization not only simplifies the management, but also prevents text section size from being increased largely due to static allocated IRQ stack as removing masking operation using THREAD_SIZE in many places.

When a kernel is built with CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS the following warning is produced when entering userspace for the first time: WARNING: at /work/Linux/linux-2.6-aarch64/kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3519 Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 4.4.0-rc3+ #639 Hardware name: Juno (DT) task: ffffffc9768a0000 ti: ffffffc9768a8000 task.ti: ffffffc9768a8000 PC is at check_flags.part.22+0x19c/0x1a8 LR is at check_flags.part.22+0x19c/0x1a8 pc : [<ffffffc0000fba6c>] lr : [<ffffffc0000fba6c>] pstate: 600001c5 sp : ffffffc9768abe10 x29: ffffffc9768abe10 x28: ffffffc9768a8000 x27: 0000000000000000 x26: 0000000000000001 x25: 00000000000000a6 x24: ffffffc00064be6c x23: ffffffc0009f249e x22: ffffffc9768a0000 x21: ffffffc97fea5480 x20: 00000000000001c0 x19: ffffffc00169a000 x18: 0000005558cc7b58 x17: 0000007fb78e3180 x16: 0000005558d2e238 x15: ffffffffffffffff x14: 0ffffffffffffffd x13: 0000000000000008 x12: 0101010101010101 x11: 7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f x10: fefefefefefeff63 x9 : 7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f x8 : 6e655f7371726964 x7 : 0000000000000001 x6 : ffffffc0001079c4 x5 : 0000000000000000 x4 : 0000000000000001 x3 : ffffffc001698438 x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : ffffffc9768a0000 x0 : 000000000000002e Call trace: [<ffffffc0000fba6c>] check_flags.part.22+0x19c/0x1a8 [<ffffffc0000fc440>] lock_is_held+0x80/0x98 [<ffffffc00064bafc>] __schedule+0x404/0x730 [<ffffffc00064be6c>] schedule+0x44/0xb8 [<ffffffc000085bb0>] ret_to_user+0x0/0x24 possible reason: unannotated irqs-off. irq event stamp: 502169 hardirqs last enabled at (502169): [<ffffffc000085a98>] el0_irq_naked+0x1c/0x24 hardirqs last disabled at (502167): [<ffffffc0000bb3bc>] __do_softirq+0x17c/0x298 softirqs last enabled at (502168): [<ffffffc0000bb43c>] __do_softirq+0x1fc/0x298 softirqs last disabled at (502143): [<ffffffc0000bb830>] irq_exit+0xa0/0xf0 This happens because we disable interrupts in ret_to_user before calling schedule() in work_resched.

There is no need to worry about module and __init text disappearing case, because that ftrace has a module notifier that is called when a module is being unloaded and before the text goes away and this code grabs the ftrace_lock mutex and removes the module functions from the ftrace list, such that it will no longer do any modifications to that module's text, the update to make functions be traced or not is done under the ftrace_lock mutex as well. And by now, __init section codes should not been modified by ftrace, because it is black listed in recordmcount.c and ignored by ftrace.

For ftrace on arm64, kstop_machine which is hugely disruptive to a running system is not needed to convert nops to ftrace calls or back, because that to be modified instrucions, that NOP, B or BL, are all safe instructions which called "concurrent modification and execution of instructions", that can be executed by one thread of execution as they are being modified by another thread of execution without requiring explicit synchronization.

Boqun Feng reported a rather nasty ordering issue with spin_unlock_wait on architectures implementing spin_lock with LL/SC sequences and acquire semantics: | CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3 | ================== ==================== ============== | spin_unlock(&lock); | spin_lock(&lock): | r1 = *lock; // r1 == 0; | o = READ_ONCE(object); // reordered here | object = NULL; | smp_mb(); | spin_unlock_wait(&lock); | *lock = 1; | smp_mb(); | o->dead = true; | if (o) // true | BUG_ON(o->dead); // true!! The crux of the problem is that spin_unlock_wait(&lock) can return on CPU 1 whilst CPU 2 is in the process of taking the lock. This can be resolved by upgrading spin_unlock_wait to a LOCK operation, forcing it to serialise against a concurrent locker and giving it acquire semantics in the process (although it is not at all clear whether this is needed - different callers seem to assume different things about the barrier semantics and architectures are similarly disjoint in their implementations of the macro). This patch implements spin_unlock_wait using an LL/SC sequence with acquire semantics on arm64. For v8.1 systems with the LSE atomics, the exclusive writeback is omitted, since the spin_lock operation is indivisible and no intermediate state can be observed.
