ARM64 implementation of ip_fast_csum() do most of the work in 128 or 64 bit and call csum_fold() to finalize. csum_fold() itself take a __wsum argument, to insure that this value is always a 32bit native-order value. Fix this by adding the sadly needed '__force' to cast the native 'sum' to the type '__wsum'.

Here both variables 'cpu_id' and 'entry_point' are read via read[lq]_relaxed(), from a little-endian annotated pointer and then used as a native endian value. This is correct since the read[lq]() family of function internally do a little-to-native endian conversion. But in this case, it is wrong to declare these variable as little-endian since there are native ones. Fix this by changing the declaration of these variables as 'u32' or 'u64' instead of '__le32' / '__le64'.

Here the entrypoint, declared as a 64 bit integer, is read from a pointer to 64bit integer but the read is done via readl_relaxed() which is for 32bit quantities. All the high bits will thus be lost which change the meaning of the test against zero done later. Fix this by using readq_relaxed() instead as it should be for 64bit quantities.

Here the functions reloc_insn_movw() & reloc_insn_imm() are used to read, modify and write back ARM instructions, which are always stored in memory in little-endian order. These values are thus correctly converted to/from native order but the pointers used to hold their addresses are declared as for native order values. Fix this by declaring the pointers as __le32* and remove the casts that are now unneeded.

aarch64_insn_write() is used to write an instruction. As on ARM64 in-memory instructions are always stored in little-endian order, this function, taking the instruction opcode in native order, correctly convert it to little-endian before sending it to an helper function __aarch64_insn_write() which will do the effective write. This is all good, but the variable and argument holding the converted value are not annotated for a little-endian value but left for native values. Fix this by adjusting the prototype of the helper and directly using the result of cpu_to_le32() without passing by an intermediate variable (which was not a distinct one but the same as the one holding the native value).

The function arch64_insn_read() is used to read an instruction. On AM64 instructions are always stored in little-endian order and thus the function correctly do a little-to-native endian conversion to the value just read. However, the variable used to hold the value before the conversion is not declared for a little-endian value but for a native one. Fix this by using the correct type for the declaration: __le32 Note: This only works because the function reading the value, probe_kernel_read((), takes a void pointer and void pointers are endian-agnostic. Otherwise probe_kernel_read() should also be properly annotated (or worse, need to be specialized).

ARM64 depends on the macro __AARCH64EB__ being defined or not to correctly select or define endian-specific macros, structures or pieces of code. This macro is predefined by the compiler but sparse knows nothing about it and thus may pre-process files differently from what gcc would. Fix this by passing '-D__AARCH64EL__' or '-D__AARCH64EB__' to sparse depending of the endianness of the kernel, like defined by GCC. Note: In most case it won't change anything since most arm64 use little-endian (but an allyesconfig would use big-endian!).

When a kernel is built without CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, we don't generate the expected branch instruction in ftrace_make_nop(). This means we pass zero (rather than a valid branch) to ftrace_modify_code() as the expected instruction to validate. This causes us to return -EINVAL to the core ftrace code for a valid case, resulting in a splat at boot time. This was an unintended effect of commit: 68764420 ("arm64: ftrace: fix building without CONFIG_MODULES") ... which incorrectly moved the generation of the branch instruction into the ifdef for CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS. This patch fixes the issue by moving the ifdef inside of the relevant if-else case, and always checking that the branch is in range, regardless of CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS. This ensures that we generate the expected branch instruction, and also improves our sanity checks. For consistency, both ftrace_make_nop() and ftrace_make_call() are updated with this pattern.

This patch defines an extra_context signal frame record that can be used to describe an expanded signal frame, and modifies the context block allocator and signal frame setup and parsing code to create, populate, parse and decode this block as necessary. To avoid abuse by userspace, parse_user_sigframe() attempts to ensure that: * no more than one extra_context is accepted; * the extra context data is a sensible size, and properly placed and aligned. The extra_context data is required to start at the first 16-byte aligned address immediately after the dummy terminator record following extra_context in rt_sigframe.__reserved[] (as ensured during signal delivery). This serves as a sanity-check that the signal frame has not been moved or copied without taking the extra data into account.

Currently external aborts are unsupported by the guest abort handling. Add handling for SEAs so that the host kernel reports SEAs which occur in the guest kernel. When an SEA occurs in the guest kernel, the guest exits and is routed to kvm_handle_guest_abort(). Prior to this patch, a print message of an unsupported FSC would be printed and nothing else would happen. With this patch, the code gets routed to the APEI handling of SEAs in the host kernel to report the SEA information.

UEFI spec allows for non-standard section in Common Platform Error Record. This is defined in section N.2.3 of UEFI version 2.5. Currently if the CPER section's type (UUID) does not match with one of the section types that the kernel knows how to parse, the section is skipped. Therefore, user is not able to see such CPER data, for instance, error record of non-standard section. This change prints out the raw data in hex in the dmesg buffer so that non-standard sections are reported to the user.

ARM APEI extension proposal added SEA (Synchronous External Abort) notification type for ARMv8. Add a new GHES error source handling function for SEA. If an error source's notification type is SEA, then this function can be registered into the SEA exception handler. That way GHES will parse and report SEA exceptions when they occur. An SEA can interrupt code that had interrupts masked and is treated as an NMI. To aid this the page of address space for mapping APEI buffers while in_nmi() is always reserved, and ghes_ioremap_pfn_nmi() is changed to use the helper methods to find the prot_t to map with in the same way as ghes_ioremap_pfn_irq().

When debugging a kernel panic(), it can be useful to know which CPU features have been detected by the kernel, as some code paths can depend on these (and may have been patched at runtime). This patch adds a notifier to dump the detected CPU caps (as a hex string) at panic(), when we log other information useful for debugging. On a Juno R1 system running v4.12-rc5, this looks like: [ 615.431249] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt [ 615.437609] SMP: stopping secondary CPUs [ 615.441872] Kernel Offset: disabled [ 615.445372] CPU features: 0x02086 [ 615.448522] Memory Limit: none A developer can decode this by looking at the corresponding <asm/cpucaps.h> bits. For example, the above decodes as: * bit 1: ARM64_WORKAROUND_DEVICE_LOAD_ACQUIRE * bit 2: ARM64_WORKAROUND_845719 * bit 7: ARM64_WORKAROUND_834220 * bit 13: ARM64_HAS_32BIT_EL0 Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by: Steve Capper <steve.capper@arm.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

When reading current's user-writable TLS register (which occurs when dumping core for native tasks), it is possible that userspace has modified it since the time the task was last scheduled out. The new TLS register value is not guaranteed to have been written immediately back to thread_struct in this case. As a result, a coredump can capture stale data for this register. Reading the register for a stopped task via ptrace is unaffected. For native tasks, this patch explicitly flushes the TPIDR_EL0 register back to thread_struct before dumping when operating on current, thus ensuring that coredump contents are up to date. For compat tasks, the TLS register is not user-writable and so cannot be out of sync, so no flush is required in compat_tls_get().

Currently, VFP registers are omitted from coredumps for compat processes, due to a bug in the REGSET_COMPAT_VFP regset implementation. compat_vfp_get() needs to transfer non-contiguous data from thread_struct.fpsimd_state, and uses put_user() to handle the offending trailing word (FPSCR). This fails when copying to a kernel address (i.e., kbuf && !ubuf), which is what happens when dumping core. As a result, the ELF coredump core code silently omits the NT_ARM_VFP note from the dump. It would be possible to work around this with additional special case code for the put_user(), but since user_regset_copyout() is explicitly designed to handle this scenario it is cleaner to port the put_user() to a user_regset_copyout() call, which this patch does.

If the RAS controller produces multiple error records, then they may be overwritten before the OS has consumed them. The Generic Hardware Error Source (GHES) v2 structure introduces the capability for the OS to acknowledge the consumption of the error record generated by the RAS controller.

When using sparse on the arm64 tree we get many thousands of warnings like 'constant ... is so big it is unsigned long long' or 'shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'. This happens because by default sparse considers the machine as 32bit and defines the size of the types accordingly. Fix this by passing the '-m64' flag to sparse so that sparse can correctly define longs as being 64bit.

This patch factors out the allocator for signal frame optional records into a separate function, to ensure consistency and facilitate later expansion. No overrun checking is currently done, because the allocation is in user memory and anyway the kernel never tries to allocate enough space in the signal frame yet for an overrun to occur. This behaviour will be refined in future patches. The approach taken in this patch to allocation of the terminator record is not very clean: this will also be replaced in subsequent patches. For future extension, a comment is added in sigcontext.h documenting the current static allocations in __reserved[]. This will be important for determining under what circumstances userspace may or may not see an expanded signal frame.

In preparation for expanding the signal frame, this patch refactors the signal frame setup code in setup_sigframe() into two separate passes. The first pass, setup_sigframe_layout(), determines the size of the signal frame and its internal layout, including the presence and location of optional records. The resulting knowledge is used to allocate and locate the user stack space required for the signal frame and to determine which optional records to include. The second pass, setup_sigframe(), is called once the stack frame is allocated in order to populate it with the necessary context information. As a result of these changes, it becomes more natural to represent locations in the signal frame by a base pointer and an offset, since the absolute address of each location is not known during the layout pass. To be more consistent with this logic, parse_user_sigframe() is refactored to describe signal frame locations in a similar way. This change has no effect on the signal ABI, but will make it easier to expand the signal frame in future patches.

Also, it is not clear whether the sigcontext extension records are supposed to occur in a particular order.

In order to be able to increase the amount of the data currently written to the __reserved[] array in the signal frame, it is necessary to overwrite the locations currently occupied by the {fp,lr} frame link record pushed at the top of the signal stack. In order for this to work, this patch detaches the frame link record from struct rt_sigframe and places it separately at the top of the signal stack. This will allow subsequent patches to insert data between it and __reserved[]. This change relies on the non-ABI status of the placement of the frame record with respect to struct sigframe: this status is undocumented, but the placement is not declared or described in the user headers, and known unwinder implementations (libgcc, libunwind, gdb) appear not to rely on it.
