      arm64: entry: fix non-NMI kernel<->kernel transitions · 7cd1ea10
      Mark Rutland authored 
      There are periods in kernel mode when RCU is not watching and/or the
scheduler tick is disabled, but we can still take exceptions such as
interrupts. The arm64 exception handlers do not account for this, and
it's possible that RCU is not watching while an exception handler runs.

The x86/generic entry code handles this by ensuring that all (non-NMI)
kernel exception handlers call irqentry_enter() and irqentry_exit(),
which handle RCU, lockdep, and IRQ flag tracing. We can't yet move to
the generic entry code, and already hadnle the user<->kernel transitions
elsewhere, so we add new kernel<->kernel transition helpers alog the
lines of the generic entry code.

Since we now track interrupts becoming masked when an exception is
taken, local_daif_inherit() is modified to track interrupts becoming
re-enabled when the original context is inherited. To balance the
entry/exit paths, each handler masks all DAIF exceptions before
exit_to_kernel_mode().

      arm64: ptrace: prepare for EL1 irq/rcu tracking · 1ec2f2c0
      Mark Rutland authored 
      Exceptions from EL1 may be taken when RCU isn't watching (e.g. in idle
sequences), or when the lockdep hardirqs transiently out-of-sync with
the hardware state (e.g. in the middle of local_irq_enable()). To
correctly handle these cases, we'll need to save/restore this state
across some exceptions taken from EL1.

A series of subsequent patches will update EL1 exception handlers to
handle this. In preparation for this, and to avoid dependencies between
those patches, this patch adds two new fields to struct pt_regs so that
exception handlers can track this state.

Note that this is placed in pt_regs as some entry/exit sequences such as
el1_irq are invoked from assembly, which makes it very difficult to add
a separate structure as with the irqentry_state used by x86. We can
separate this once more of the exception logic is moved to C. While the
fields only need to be bool, they are both made u64 to keep pt_regs
16-byte aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

      arm64: entry: fix non-NMI user<->kernel transitions · 23529049
      Mark Rutland authored 
      When built with PROVE_LOCKING, NO_HZ_FULL, and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
will WARN() at boot time that interrupts are enabled when we call
context_tracking_user_enter(), despite the DAIF flags indicating that
IRQs are masked.

The problem is that we're not tracking IRQ flag changes accurately, and
so lockdep believes interrupts are enabled when they are not (and
vice-versa). We can shuffle things so to make this more accurate. For
kernel->user transitions there are a number of constraints we need to
consider:

1) When we call __context_tracking_user_enter() HW IRQs must be disabled
   and lockdep must be up-to-date with this.

2) Userspace should be treated as having IRQs enabled from the PoV of
   both lockdep and tracing.

3) As context_tracking_user_enter() stops RCU from watching, we cannot
   use RCU after calling it.

4) IRQ flag tracing and lockdep have state that must be manipulated
   before RCU is disabled.

... with similar constraints applying for user->kernel transitions, with
the ordering reversed.

The generic entry code has enter_from_user_mode() and
exit_to_user_mode() helpers to handle this. We can't use those directly,
so we add arm64 copies for now (without the instrumentation markers
which aren't used on arm64). These replace the existing user_exit() and
user_exit_irqoff() calls spread throughout handlers, and the exception
unmasking is left as-is.

Note that:

* The accounting for debug exceptions from userspace now happens in
  el0_dbg() and ret_to_user(), so this is removed from
  debug_exception_enter() and debug_exception_exit(). As
  user_exit_irqoff() wakes RCU, the userspace-specific check is removed.

* The accounting for syscalls now happens in el0_svc(),
  el0_svc_compat(), and ret_to_user(), so this is removed from
  el0_svc_common(). This does not adversely affect the workaround for
  erratum 1463225, as this does not depend on any of the state tracking.

* In ret_to_user() we mask interrupts with local_daif_mask(), and so we
  need to inform lockdep and tracing. Here a trace_hardirqs_off() is
  sufficient and safe as we have not yet exited kernel context and RCU
  is usable.

* As PROVE_LOCKING selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS, the ifdeferry in entry.S only
  needs to check for the latter.

* EL0 SError handling will be dealt with in a subsequent patch, as this
  needs to be treated as an NMI.

Prior to this patch, booting an appropriately-configured kernel would
result in spats as below:

      arm64: entry: move el1 irq/nmi logic to C · 105fc335
      Mark Rutland authored 
      In preparation for reworking the EL1 irq/nmi entry code, move the
existing logic to C. We no longer need the asm_nmi_enter() and
asm_nmi_exit() wrappers, so these are removed. The new C functions are
marked noinstr, which prevents compiler instrumentation and runtime
probing.

In subsequent patches we'll want the new C helpers to be called in all
cases, so we don't bother wrapping the calls with ifdeferry. Even when
the new C functions are stubs the trivial calls are unlikely to have a
measurable impact on the IRQ or NMI paths anyway.

Prototypes are added to <asm/exception.h> as otherwise (in some
configurations) GCC will complain about the lack of a forward
declaration. We already do this for existing function, e.g.
enter_from_user_mode().

The new helpers are marked as noinstr (which prevents all
instrumentation, tracing, and kprobes). Otherwise, there should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.

      arm64: entry: prepare ret_to_user for function call · 3cb5ed4d
      Mark Rutland authored 
      In a subsequent patch ret_to_user will need to make a C function call
(in some configurations) which may clobber x0-x18 at the start of the
finish_ret_to_user block, before enable_step_tsk consumes the flags
loaded into x1.

In preparation for this, let's load the flags into x19, which is
preserved across C function calls. This avoids a redundant reload of the
flags and ensures we operate on a consistent shapshot regardless.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. At this
point of the entry/exit paths we only need to preserve x28 (tsk) and the
sp, and x19 is free for this use.

      arm64: entry: move enter_from_user_mode to entry-common.c · 2f911d49
      Mark Rutland authored 
      In later patches we'll want to extend enter_from_user_mode() and add a
corresponding exit_to_user_mode(). As these will be common for all
entries/exits from userspace, it'd be better for these to live in
entry-common.c with the rest of the entry logic.

This patch moves enter_from_user_mode() into entry-common.c. As with
other functions in entry-common.c it is marked as noinstr (which
prevents all instrumentation, tracing, and kprobes) but there are no
other functional changes.

      arm64: entry: mark entry code as noinstr · da192676
      Mark Rutland authored 
      Functions in entry-common.c are marked as notrace and NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(),
but they're still subject to other instrumentation which may rely on
lockdep/rcu/context-tracking being up-to-date, and may cause nested
exceptions (e.g. for WARN/BUG or KASAN's use of BRK) which will corrupt
exceptions registers which have not yet been read.

Prevent this by marking all functions in entry-common.c as noinstr to
prevent compiler instrumentation. This also blacklists the functions for
tracing and kprobes, so we don't need to handle that separately.
Functions elsewhere will be dealt with in subsequent patches.

      arm64: mark idle code as noinstr · 114e0a68
      Mark Rutland authored 
      Core code disables RCU when calling arch_cpu_idle(), so it's not safe
for arch_cpu_idle() or its calees to be instrumented, as the
instrumentation callbacks may attempt to use RCU or other features which
are unsafe to use in this context.

Mark them noinstr to prevent issues.

The use of local_irq_enable() in arch_cpu_idle() is similarly
problematic, and the "sched/idle: Fix arch_cpu_idle() vs tracing" patch
queued in the tip tree addresses that case.

      arm64: syscall: exit userspace before unmasking exceptions · ca1314d7
      Mark Rutland authored 
      In el0_svc_common() we unmask exceptions before we call user_exit(), and
so there's a window where an IRQ or debug exception can be taken while
RCU is not watching. In do_debug_exception() we account for this in via
debug_exception_{enter,exit}(), but in the el1_irq asm we do not and we
call trace functions which rely on RCU before we have a guarantee that
RCU is watching.

Let's avoid this by having el0_svc_common() exit userspace before
unmasking exceptions, matching what we do for all other EL0 entry paths.
We can use user_exit_irqoff() to avoid the pointless save/restore of IRQ
flags while we're sure exceptions are masked in DAIF.

The workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225 may trigger a debug
exception before this point, but the debug code invoked in this case is
safe even when RCU is not watching.
