We removed the terminal frame records in commit: 6106e111 ("arm64: remove EL0 exception frame record") ... on the assumption that as we no longer used them to find the pt_regs at exception boundaries, they were no longer necessary. However, Leo reports that as an unintended side-effect, this causes traces which cross secondary_start_kernel to terminate one entry too late, with a spurious "0" entry. There are a few ways we could sovle this, but as we're planning to use terminal records for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, let's revert the logic change for now, keeping the update comments and accounting for the changes in commit: 3c026001 ("arm64: stacktrace: Report when we reach the end of the stack") This is effectively a partial revert of commit: 6106e111 ("arm64: remove EL0 exception frame record") Signed-off-by:

The arm64 assembler in binutils 2.32 and above generates a program property note in a note section, .note.gnu.property, to encode used x86 ISAs and features. But the kernel linker script only contains a single NOTE segment: PHDRS { text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5) FILEHDR PHDRS; /* PF_R|PF_X */ dynamic PT_DYNAMIC FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */ note PT_NOTE FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */ } The NOTE segment generated by the vDSO linker script is aligned to 4 bytes. But the .note.gnu.property section must be aligned to 8 bytes on arm64. $ readelf -n vdso64.so Displaying notes found in: .note Owner Data size Description Linux 0x00000004 Unknown note type: (0x00000000) description data: 06 00 00 00 readelf: Warning: note with invalid namesz and/or descsz found at offset 0x20 readelf: Warning: type: 0x78, namesize: 0x00000100, descsize: 0x756e694c, alignment: 8 Since the note.gnu.property section in the vDSO is not checked by the dynamic linker, discard the .note.gnu.property sections in the vDSO.

Prior to commit dcde2373 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap()"), the kernel allowed tagged addresses to be passed to the brk/mmap/mremap() syscalls. This relaxation was tightened in 5.6 (backported to stable 5.4) but the tagged-address-abi.rst document was only partially updated. Signed-off-by:

When using ACPI on arm64, which implies the GIC IRQ model, no table should ever provide a GSI number in the range [0:15], as these are reserved for IPIs. However, drivers tend to call acpi_unregister_gsi() with any random GSI number provided by half baked tables, which results in an exploding kernel when its IPIs have been unconfigured. In order to catch this, check for the silly case early, warn that something is going wrong and avoid the above disaster. Signed-off-by:

When failing the driver probe because of invalid firmware properties, the GTDT driver unmaps the interrupt that it mapped earlier. However, it never checks whether the mapping of the interrupt actially succeeded. Even more, should the firmware report an illegal interrupt number that overlaps with the GIC SGI range, this can result in an IPI being unmapped, and subsequent fireworks (as reported by Dann Frazier). Rework the driver to have a slightly saner behaviour and actually check whether the interrupt has been mapped before unmapping things. Reported-by:

In __apply_alternatives() we take a pointer to void which we later assign to a pointer to struct alt_region.

Currently arm64 allows a choice of FLATMEM, SPARSEMEM and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. However, only the latter is tested regularly. FLATMEM does not seem to boot in certain configurations (guest under KVM with Qemu as a VMM). Since the reduction of the SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 27 (4K pages) or 29 (64K page), there's little argument against the memory wasted by the mem_map array with SPARSEMEM. Make SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the only available option, non-selectable, and remove the corresponding #ifdefs under arch/arm64/. Signed-off-by:

The kernel does not use any keys besides IA so we don't need to install IB/DA/DB/GA on kernel exit if we arrange to install them on task switch instead, which we can expect to happen an order of magnitude less often. Furthermore we can avoid installing the user IA in the case where the user task has IA disabled and just leave the kernel IA installed. This also lets us avoid needing to install IA on kernel entry. On an Apple M1 under a hypervisor, the overhead of kernel entry/exit has been measured to be reduced by 15.6ns in the case where IA is enabled, and 31.9ns in the case where IA is disabled.

This change introduces a prctl that allows the user program to control which PAC keys are enabled in a particular task. The main reason why this is useful is to enable a userspace ABI that uses PAC to sign and authenticate function pointers and other pointers exposed outside of the function, while still allowing binaries conforming to the ABI to interoperate with legacy binaries that do not sign or authenticate pointers. The idea is that a dynamic loader or early startup code would issue this prctl very early after establishing that a process may load legacy binaries, but before executing any PAC instructions. This change adds a small amount of overhead to kernel entry and exit due to additional required instruction sequences. On a DragonBoard 845c (Cortex-A75) with the powersave governor, the overhead of similar instruction sequences was measured as 4.9ns when simulating the common case where IA is left enabled, or 43.7ns when simulating the uncommon case where IA is disabled. These numbers can be seen as the worst case scenario, since in more realistic scenarios a better performing governor would be used and a newer chip would be used that would support PAC unlike Cortex-A75 and would be expected to be faster than Cortex-A75. On an Apple M1 under a hypervisor, the overhead of the entry/exit instruction sequences introduced by this patch was measured as 0.3ns in the case where IA is left enabled, and 33.0ns in the case where IA is disabled.

Currently there are a number of places in the SVE code where we check both system_supports_sve() and TIF_SVE. This is a bit redundant given that we should never get into a situation where we have set TIF_SVE without having SVE support and it is not clear that silently ignoring a mistakenly set TIF_SVE flag is the most sensible error handling approach. For now let's just drop the system_supports_sve() checks since this will at least reduce overhead a little. Signed-off-by:

Kernel mode NEON can be used in task or softirq context, but only in a non-nesting manner, i.e., softirq context is only permitted if the interrupt was not taken at a point where the kernel was using the NEON in task context. This means all users of kernel mode NEON have to be aware of this limitation, and either need to provide scalar fallbacks that may be much slower (up to 20x for AES instructions) and potentially less safe, or use an asynchronous interface that defers processing to a later time when the NEON is guaranteed to be available. Given that grabbing and releasing the NEON is cheap, we can relax this restriction, by increasing the granularity of kernel mode NEON code, and always disabling softirq processing while the NEON is being used in task context.

The AArch64 asm syntax has this slightly tedious property that the names used in mnemonics to refer to registers depend on whether the opcode in question targets the entire 64-bits (xN), or only the least significant 8, 16 or 32 bits (wN). When writing parameterized code such as macros, this can be annoying, as macro arguments don't lend themselves to indexed lookups, and so generating a reference to wN in a macro that receives xN as an argument is problematic. For instance, an upcoming patch that modifies the implementation of the cond_yield macro to be able to refer to 32-bit registers would need to modify invocations such as cond_yield 3f, x8 to cond_yield 3f, 8 so that the second argument can be token pasted after x or w to emit the correct register reference. Unfortunately, this interferes with the self documenting nature of the first example, where the second argument is obviously a register, whereas in the second example, one would need to go and look at the code to find out what '8' means. So let's fix this by defining wxN aliases for all xN registers, which resolve to the 32-bit alias of each respective 64-bit register. This allows the macro implementation to paste the xN reference after a w to obtain the correct register name. Signed-off-by:

In async mode, tag fault aren't being generated synchronously when a bad access happens, but are instead explicitly checked for by the kernel.

MTE provides a mode that asynchronously updates the TFSR_EL1 register when a tag check exception is detected. To take advantage of this mode the kernel has to verify the status of the register at: 1. Context switching 2. Return to user/EL0 (Not required in entry from EL0 since the kernel did not run) 3. Kernel entry from EL1 4. Kernel exit to EL1 If the register is non-zero a trace is reported. Add the required features for EL1 detection and reporting. Note: ITFSB bit is set in the SCTLR_EL1 register hence it guaranties that the indirect writes to TFSR_EL1 are synchronized at exception entry to EL1. On the context switch path the synchronization is guarantied by the dsb() in __switch_to(). The dsb(nsh) in mte_check_tfsr_exit() is provisional pending confirmation by the architects.

load_unaligned_zeropad() and __get/put_kernel_nofault() functions can read past some buffer limits which may include some MTE granule with a different tag. When MTE async mode is enabled, the load operation crosses the boundaries and the next granule has a different tag the PE sets the TFSR_EL1.TF1 bit as if an asynchronous tag fault is happened. Enable Tag Check Override (TCO) in these functions before the load and disable it afterwards to prevent this to happen. Note: The same condition can be hit in MTE sync mode but we deal with it through the exception handling. In the current implementation, mte_async_mode flag is set only at boot time but in future kasan might acquire some runtime features that that change the mode dynamically, hence we disable it when sync mode is selected for future proof.

Architectures supported by KASAN_HW_TAGS can provide a sync or async mode of execution. On an MTE enabled arm64 hw for example this can be identified with the synchronous or asynchronous tagging mode of execution. In synchronous mode, an exception is triggered if a tag check fault occurs. In asynchronous mode, if a tag check fault occurs, the TFSR_EL1 register is updated asynchronously. The kernel checks the corresponding bits periodically. KASAN requires a specific kernel command line parameter to make use of this hw features. Add KASAN HW execution mode kernel command line parameter. Note: This patch adds the kasan.mode kernel parameter and the sync/async kernel command line options to enable the described features.

Given that newer systems that are VHE capable are finally becoming available, and that some systems are even incapable of not running VHE, drop the configuration altogether. Anyone willing to stick to non-VHE on VHE hardware for obscure reasons should use the 'kvm-arm.mode=nvhe' command-line option. Suggested-by:

Currently we require that software at a higher exception level initialise all registers at the exception level the kernel will be entered prior to starting the kernel in order to ensure that there is nothing uninitialised which could result in an UNKNOWN state while running the kernel. The expectation is that the software running at the highest exception levels will be tightly coupled to the system and can ensure that all available features are appropriately initialised and that the kernel can initialise anything else. There is a gap here in the case where new registers are added to lower exception levels that require initialisation but the kernel does not yet understand them. Extend the requirement to also include exception levels below the one where the kernel is entered to cover this. Suggested-by:
