KVM in nVHE mode divides up its VA space into two equal halves, and picks the half that does not conflict with the HYP ID map to map its linear region. This worked fine when the kernel's linear map itself was guaranteed to cover precisely as many bits of VA space, but this was changed by commit f4693c27 ("arm64: mm: extend linear region for 52-bit VA configurations"). The result is that, depending on the placement of the ID map, kernel-VA to hyp-VA translations may produce addresses that either conflict with other HYP mappings (including the ID map itself) or generate addresses outside of the 52-bit addressable range, neither of which is likely to lead to anything useful. Given that 52-bit capable cores are guaranteed to implement VHE, this only affects configurations such as pKVM where we opt into non-VHE mode even if the hardware is VHE capable. So just for these configurations, let's limit the kernel linear map to 51 bits and work around the problem.

Commit 31c00d2a ("arm64: Disable fine grained traps on boot") zeroed the fine grained trap registers to prevent unwanted register traps from occuring. However, for the PMSNEVFR_EL1 register, the corresponding HDFG{R,W}TR_EL2.nPMSNEVFR_EL1 fields must be 1 to disable trapping. Set both fields to 1 if FEAT_SPEv1p2 is detected to disable read and write traps.

Commit 77097ae5 ("most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from set") extended set_current_blocked() to remove SIGKILL and SIGSTOP from the new signal set and updated all callers accordingly. Unfortunately, this collided with the merge of the arm64 architecture, which duly removes these signals when restoring the compat sigframe, as this was what was previously done by arch/arm/. Remove the redundant call to sigdelsetmask() from compat_restore_sigframe().

Currently we "handle" failure to allocate the SVE register storage by doing a BUG_ON() and hoping for the best. This is obviously not great and the memory allocation failure will already be loud enough without the BUG_ON(). As the comment says it is a corner case but let's try to do a bit better, remove the BUG_ON() and add code to handle the failure in the callers. For the ptrace and signal code we can return -ENOMEM gracefully however we have no real error reporting path available to us for the SVE access trap so instead generate a SIGKILL if the allocation fails there. This at least means that we won't try to soldier on and end up trying to access the nonexistant state and while it's obviously not ideal for userspace SIGKILL doesn't allow any handling so minimises the ABI impact, making it easier to improve the interface later if we come up with a better idea.

The `compute_indices` and `populate_entries` macros operate on inclusive bounds, and thus the `map_memory` macro which uses them also operates on inclusive bounds. We pass `_end` and `_idmap_text_end` to `map_memory`, but these are exclusive bounds, and if one of these is sufficiently aligned (as a result of kernel configuration, physical placement, and KASLR), then: * In `compute_indices`, the computed `iend` will be in the page/block *after* the final byte of the intended mapping. * In `populate_entries`, an unnecessary entry will be created at the end of each level of table. At the leaf level, this entry will map up to SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE bytes of physical addresses that we did not intend to map. As we may map up to SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE bytes more than intended, we may violate the boot protocol and map physical address past the 2MiB-aligned end address we are permitted to map. As we map these with Normal memory attributes, this may result in further problems depending on what these physical addresses correspond to. The final entry at each level may require an additional table at that level. As EARLY_ENTRIES() calculates an inclusive bound, we allocate enough memory for this. Avoid the extraneous mapping by having map_memory convert the exclusive end address to an inclusive end address by subtracting one, and do likewise in EARLY_ENTRIES() when calculating the number of required tables. For clarity, comments are updated to more clearly document which boundaries the macros operate on. For consistency with the other macros, the comments in map_memory are also updated to describe `vstart` and `vend` as virtual addresses.

If we want to support 32-bit applications, then when we identify a CPU with mismatched 32-bit EL0 support we must ensure that we will always have an active 32-bit CPU available to us from then on. This is important for the scheduler, because is_cpu_allowed() will be constrained to 32-bit CPUs for compat tasks and forced migration due to a hotplug event will hang if no 32-bit CPUs are available. On detecting a mismatch, prevent offlining of either the mismatching CPU if it is 32-bit capable, or find the first active 32-bit capable CPU otherwise.

Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters. Although userspace can carefully manage the affinity masks for such tasks, one place where it is particularly problematic is execve() because the CPU on which the execve() is occurring may be incompatible with the new application image. In such a situation, it is desirable to restrict the affinity mask of the task and ensure that the new image is entered on a compatible CPU. From userspace's point of view, this looks the same as if the incompatible CPUs have been hotplugged off in the task's affinity mask. Similarly, if a subsequent execve() reverts to a compatible image, then the old affinity is restored if it is still valid. In preparation for restricting the affinity mask for compat tasks on arm64 systems without uniform support for 32-bit applications, introduce {force,relax}_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which respectively restrict and restore the affinity mask for a task based on the compatible CPUs.

This extends SCHED_IDLE to cgroups. Interface: cgroup/cpu.idle. 0: default behavior 1: SCHED_IDLE Extending SCHED_IDLE to cgroups means that we incorporate the existing aspects of SCHED_IDLE; a SCHED_IDLE cgroup will count all of its descendant threads towards the idle_h_nr_running count of all of its ancestor cgroups. Thus, sched_idle_rq() will work properly. Additionally, SCHED_IDLE cgroups are configured with minimum weight. There are two key differences between the per-task and per-cgroup SCHED_IDLE interface: - The cgroup interface allows tasks within a SCHED_IDLE hierarchy to maintain their relative weights. The entity that is "idle" is the cgroup, not the tasks themselves. - Since the idle entity is the cgroup, our SCHED_IDLE wakeup preemption decision is not made by comparing the current task with the woken task, but rather by comparing their matching sched_entity. A typical use-case for this is a user that creates an idle and a non-idle subtree. The non-idle subtree will dominate competition vs the idle subtree, but the idle subtree will still be high priority vs other users on the system. The latter is accomplished via comparing matching sched_entity in the waken preemption path (this could also be improved by making the sched_idle_rq() decision dependent on the perspective of a specific task). For now, we maintain the existing SCHED_IDLE semantics. Future patches may make improvements that extend how we treat SCHED_IDLE entities. The per-task_group idle field is an integer that currently only holds either a 0 or a 1. This is explicitly typed as an integer to allow for further extensions to this API. For example, a negative value may indicate a highly latency-sensitive cgroup that should be preferred for preemption/placement/etc. Signed-off-by: Josh Don <joshdon@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210730020019.1487127-2-joshdon@google.com

The scheduler currently expects NUMA node distances to be stable from init onwards, and as a consequence builds the related data structures once-and-for-all at init (see sched_init_numa()). Unfortunately, on some architectures node distance is unreliable for offline nodes and may very well change upon onlining. Skip over offline nodes during sched_init_numa(). Track nodes that have been onlined at least once, and trigger a build of a node's NUMA masks when it is first onlined post-init.

When skipping the tests due to a lack of system support for MTE we currently print a message saying FAIL which makes it look like the test failed even though the test did actually report KSFT_SKIP, creating some confusion. Change the error message to say SKIP instead so things are clearer.
