.inst being largely broken with older binutils, it'd be better not to emit it altogether when detecting such configuration (as it leads to all kind of horrors when using alternatives). Generalize the __emit_inst macro and use it extensively in asm/sysreg.h, and make it generate a .long when a broken gas is detected. The disassembly will be crap, but at least we can write semi-sane code.

Binutils version up to (and including) 2.25 have a pathological behaviour when it comes to mixing .inst directive and arithmetic involving labels. The assembler complains about non-constant expressions and compilation stops pretty quickly. In order to detect this and work around it, let's add a bit of detection code that will set the CONFIG_BROKEN_GAS_INST option should a broken gas be detected.

Under CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, this_cpu_ptr() ends up calling back into raw_smp_processor_id(), resulting in some hilariously catastrophic infinite recursion. In the normal case, we have: #define this_cpu_ptr(ptr) raw_cpu_ptr(ptr) and everything is dandy. However for CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT, this_cpu_ptr() is defined in terms of my_cpu_offset, wherein the fun begins: #define my_cpu_offset per_cpu_offset(smp_processor_id()) ... #define smp_processor_id() debug_smp_processor_id() ... notrace unsigned int debug_smp_processor_id(void) { return check_preemption_disabled("smp_processor_id", ""); ... notrace static unsigned int check_preemption_disabled(const char *what1, const char *what2) { int this_cpu = raw_smp_processor_id(); and bang. Use raw_cpu_ptr() directly to avoid that.

Bit positions of CNTHCTL_EL2 are changing depending on HCR_EL2.E2H bit. EL1PCEN and EL1PCTEN are 1st and 0th bits when E2H is not set, but they are 11th and 10th bits respectively when E2H is set. Current code is unintentionally setting wrong bits to CNTHCTL_EL2 with E2H set. In fact, we don't need to set those two bits, which allow EL1 and EL0 to access physical timer and counter respectively, if E2H and TGE are set for the host kernel. They will be configured later as necessary. First, we don't need to configure those bits for EL1, since the host kernel runs in EL2. It is a hypervisor's responsibility to configure them before entering a VM, which runs in EL0 and EL1. Second, EL0 accesses are configured in the later stage of boot process.

The flush_cache_range() function (similarly for flush_cache_page()) is called when the kernel is changing an existing VA->PA mapping range to either a new PA or to different attributes. Since ARMv8 has PIPT-like D-caches, this function does not need to perform any D-cache maintenance. The I-cache maintenance is already handled via set_pte_at() and flush_cache_range() cannot anyway guarantee that there are no cache lines left after invalidation due to the speculative loads. This patch makes flush_cache_range() a no-op. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This patch adds the Kconfig option to enable support for TTBR0 PAN emulation.

When the TTBR0 PAN feature is enabled, the kernel entry points need to disable access to TTBR0_EL1. The PAN status of the interrupted context is stored as part of the saved pstate, reusing the PSR_PAN_BIT (22). Restoring access to TTBR0_EL1 is done on exception return if returning to user or returning to a context where PAN was disabled. Context switching via switch_mm() must defer the update of TTBR0_EL1 until a return to user or an explicit uaccess_enable() call. Special care needs to be taken for two cases where TTBR0_EL1 is set outside the normal kernel context switch operation: EFI run-time services (via efi_set_pgd) and CPU suspend (via cpu_(un)install_idmap). Code has been added to avoid deferred TTBR0_EL1 switching as in switch_mm() and restore the reserved TTBR0_EL1 when uninstalling the special TTBR0_EL1. User cache maintenance (user_cache_maint_handler and __flush_cache_user_range) needs the TTBR0_EL1 re-instated since the operations are performed by user virtual address. This patch also removes a stale comment on the switch_mm() function.

This patch adds the uaccess macros/functions to disable access to user space by setting TTBR0_EL1 to a reserved zeroed page. Since the value written to TTBR0_EL1 must be a physical address, for simplicity this patch introduces a reserved_ttbr0 page at a constant offset from swapper_pg_dir. The uaccess_disable code uses the ttbr1_el1 value adjusted by the reserved_ttbr0 offset. Enabling access to user is done by restoring TTBR0_EL1 with the value from the struct thread_info ttbr0 variable. Interrupts must be disabled during the uaccess_ttbr0_enable code to ensure the atomicity of the thread_info.ttbr0 read and TTBR0_EL1 write. This patch also moves the get_thread_info asm macro from entry.S to assembler.h for reuse in the uaccess_ttbr0_* macros.

The asm macros take a few arguments which will be used in subsequent patches. Note that any (unlikely) access that the compiler might generate between uaccess_enable() and uaccess_disable(), other than those explicitly specified by the user access code, will not be protected by PAN.

ARM64 hardware expects 64bit aligned address for watchpoint invocation. However, it provides byte selection method to select any number of consecutive byte set within the range of 1-8. This patch adds support to test all such byte selection option for different memory write sizes. Patch also adds a test for handling the case when the cpu does not report an address which exactly matches one of the regions we have been watching (which is a situation permitted by the spec if an instruction accesses both watched and unwatched regions). The test was failing on a MSM8996pro before this patch series and is passing now.

Arm64 hardware does not always report a watchpoint hit address that matches one of the watchpoints set. It can also report an address "near" the watchpoint if a single instruction access both watched and unwatched addresses. There is no straight-forward way, short of disassembling the offending instruction, to map that address back to the watchpoint. Previously, when the hardware reported a watchpoint hit on an address that did not match our watchpoint (this happens in case of instructions which access large chunks of memory such as "stp") the process would enter a loop where we would be continually resuming it (because we did not recognise that watchpoint hit) and it would keep hitting the watchpoint again and again. The tracing process would never get notified of the watchpoint hit. This commit fixes the problem by looking at the watchpoints near the address reported by the hardware. If the address does not exactly match one of the watchpoints we have set, it attributes the hit to the nearest watchpoint we have. This heuristic is a bit dodgy, but I don't think we can do much more, given the hardware limitations.

ARM64 hardware supports watchpoint at any double word aligned address. However, it can select any consecutive bytes from offset 0 to 7 from that base address. For example, if base address is programmed as 0x420030 and byte select is 0x1C, then access of 0x420032,0x420033 and 0x420034 will generate a watchpoint exception. Currently, we do not have such modularity. We can only program byte, halfword, word and double word access exception from any base address. This patch adds support to overcome above limitations.

We only support breakpoint/watchpoint of length 1, 2, 4 and 8. If we can support other length as well, then user may watch more data with less number of watchpoints (provided hardware supports it). For example: if we have to watch only 4th, 5th and 6th byte from a 64 bit aligned address, we will have to use two slots to implement it currently. One slot will watch a half word at offset 4 and other a byte at offset 6. If we can have a watchpoint of length 3 then we can watch it with single slot as well. ARM64 hardware does support such functionality, therefore adding these new definitions in generic layer.

The arm64 kernel assumes that FP/ASIMD units are always present and accesses the FP/ASIMD specific registers unconditionally. This could cause problems when they are absent. This patch adds the support for kernel handling systems without FP/ASIMD by skipping the register access within the kernel. For kvm, we trap the accesses to FP/ASIMD and inject an undefined instruction exception to the VM. The callers of the exported kernel_neon_begin_partial() should make sure that the FP/ASIMD is supported.

The hypervisor may not have full access to the kernel data structures and hence cannot safely use cpus_have_cap() helper for checking the system capability. Add a safe helper for hypervisors to check a constant system capability, which *doesn't* fall back to checking the bitmap maintained by the kernel. With this, make the cpus_have_cap() only check the bitmask and force constant cap checks to use the new API for quicker checks.

This patch moves arm64's struct thread_info from the task stack into task_struct. This protects thread_info from corruption in the case of stack overflows, and makes its address harder to determine if stack addresses are leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult. Precise detection and handling of overflow is left for subsequent patches. Largely, this involves changing code to store the task_struct in sp_el0, and acquire the thread_info from the task struct. Core code now implements current_thread_info(), and as noted in <linux/sched.h> this relies on offsetof(task_struct, thread_info) == 0, enforced by core code. This change means that the 'tsk' register used in entry.S now points to a task_struct, rather than a thread_info as it used to. To make this clear, the TI_* field offsets are renamed to TSK_TI_*, with asm-offsets appropriately updated to account for the structural change. Userspace clobbers sp_el0, and we can no longer restore this from the stack. Instead, the current task is cached in a per-cpu variable that we can safely access from early assembly as interrupts are disabled (and we are thus not preemptible). Both secondary entry and idle are updated to stash the sp and task pointer separately.

Shortly we will want to load a percpu variable in the return from userspace path. We can save an instruction by folding the addition of the percpu offset into the load instruction, and this patch adds a new helper to do so. At the same time, we clean up this_cpu_ptr for consistency. As with {adr,ldr,str}_l, we change the template to take the destination register first, and name this dst. Secondly, we rename the macro to adr_this_cpu, following the scheme of adr_l, and matching the newly added ldr_this_cpu.

In the absence of CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, core code maintains thread_info::cpu, and low-level architecture code can access this to build raw_smp_processor_id(). With CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, core code maintains task_struct::cpu, which for reasons of hte header soup is not accessible to low-level arch code. Instead, we can maintain a percpu variable containing the cpu number. For both the old and new implementation of raw_smp_processor_id(), we read a syreg into a GPR, add an offset, and load the result. As the offset is now larger, it may not be folded into the load, but otherwise the assembly shouldn't change much.

When returning from idle, we rely on the fact that thread_info lives at the end of the kernel stack, and restore this by masking the saved stack pointer. Subsequent patches will sever the relationship between the stack and thread_info, and to cater for this we must save/restore sp_el0 explicitly, storing it in cpu_suspend_ctx. As cpu_suspend_ctx must be doubleword aligned, this leaves us with an extra slot in cpu_suspend_ctx. We can use this to save/restore tpidr_el1 in the same way, which simplifies the code, avoiding pointer chasing on the restore path (as we no longer need to load thread_info::cpu followed by the relevant slot in __per_cpu_offset based on this). This patch stashes both registers in cpu_suspend_ctx.

When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, task stacks may be freed before a task is destroyed. To account for this, the stacks are refcounted, and when manipulating the stack of another task, it is necessary to get/put the stack to ensure it isn't freed and/or re-used while we do so. This patch reworks the arm64 stack walking code to account for this. When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected these perform no refcounting, and this should only be a structural change that does not affect behaviour.

In arm64's die and __die routines we pass around a thread_info, and subsequently use this to determine the relevant task_struct, and the end of the thread's stack. Subsequent patches will decouple thread_info from the stack, and this approach will no longer work. To figure out the end of the stack, we can use the new generic end_of_stack() helper. As we only call __die() from die(), and die() always deals with the current task, we can remove the parameter and have both acquire current directly, which also makes it clear that __die can't be called for arbitrary tasks.

We have a comment claiming __switch_to() cares about where cpu_context is located relative to cpu_domain in thread_info. However arm64 has never had a thread_info::cpu_domain field, and neither __switch_to nor cpu_switch_to care where the cpu_context field is relative to others.

When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, the current_thread_info() macro relies on current having been defined prior to its use. However, not all users of current_thread_info() include <asm/current.h>, and thus current is not guaranteed to be defined. When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected, it's possible that get_current() / current are based upon current_thread_info(), and <asm/current.h> includes <asm/thread_info.h>. Thus always including <asm/current.h> would result in circular dependences on some platforms. To ensure both cases work, this patch includes <asm/current.h>, but only when CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected.

Since commit f56141e3 ("all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct"), thread_info and restart_block have been logically distinct, yet struct restart_block is still defined in <linux/thread_info.h>. At least one architecture (erroneously) uses restart_block as part of its thread_info, and thus the definition of restart_block must come before the include of <asm/thread_info>. Subsequent patches in this series need to shuffle the order of includes and definitions in <linux/thread_info.h>, and will make this ordering fragile. This patch moves the definition of restart_block out to its own header. This serves as generic cleanup, logically separating thread_info and restart_block, and also makes it easier to avoid fragility.

For several reasons it is preferable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() rather than ACCESS_ONCE(). For example, these handle aggregate types, result in shorter source code, and better document the intended access (which may be useful for instrumentation features such as the upcoming KTSAN). Over a number of patches, most uses of ACCESS_ONCE() in arch/arm64 have been migrated to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(). For consistency, and the above reasons, this patch migrates the final remaining uses.

The libhugetlbfs meets several failures since the following functions do not use the correct address: huge_ptep_get_and_clear() huge_ptep_set_access_flags() huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() huge_ptep_clear_flush() This patch fixes the wrong address for them.

The find_num_contig() will return 1 when the pmd is not present. It will cause a kernel dead loop in the following scenaro: 1.) pmd entry is not present. 2.) the page fault occurs: ... hugetlb_fault() --> hugetlb_no_page() --> set_huge_pte_at() 3.) set_huge_pte_at() will only set the first PMD entry, since the find_num_contig just return 1 in this case. So the PMD entries are all empty except the first one. 4.) when kernel accesses the address mapped by the second PMD entry, a new page fault occurs: ... hugetlb_fault() --> huge_ptep_set_access_flags() The second PMD entry is still empty now. 5.) When the kernel returns, the access will cause a page fault again. The kernel will run like the "4)" above. We will see a dead loop since here. The dead loop is caught in the 32M hugetlb page (2M PMD + Contiguous bit). This patch removes wrong pmd check, and fixes this dead loop. This patch also removes the redundant checks for PGD/PUD in the find_num_contig().
