Enabling 52-bit VAs on arm64 requires that the PGD table expands from 64 entries (for the 48-bit case) to 1024 entries. This quantity, PTRS_PER_PGD is used as follows to compute which PGD entry corresponds to a given virtual address, addr: pgd_index(addr) -> (addr >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PGD - 1) Userspace addresses are prefixed by 0's, so for a 48-bit userspace address, uva, the following is true: (uva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (1024 - 1) == (uva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (64 - 1) In other words, a 48-bit userspace address will have the same pgd_index when using PTRS_PER_PGD = 64 and 1024. Kernel addresses are prefixed by 1's so, given a 48-bit kernel address, kva, we have the following inequality: (kva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (1024 - 1) != (kva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (64 - 1) In other words a 48-bit kernel virtual address will have a different pgd_index when using PTRS_PER_PGD = 64 and 1024. If, however, we note that: kva = 0xFFFF << 48 + lower (where lower[63:48] == 0b) and, PGDIR_SHIFT = 42 (as we are dealing with 64KB PAGE_SIZE) We can consider: (kva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (1024 - 1) - (kva >> PGDIR_SHIFT) & (64 - 1) = (0xFFFF << 6) & 0x3FF - (0xFFFF << 6) & 0x3F // "lower" cancels out = 0x3C0 In other words, one can switch PTRS_PER_PGD to the 52-bit value globally provided that they increment ttbr1_el1 by 0x3C0 * 8 = 0x1E00 bytes when running with 48-bit kernel VAs (TCR_EL1.T1SZ = 16). For kernel configuration where 52-bit userspace VAs are possible, this patch offsets ttbr1_el1 and sets PTRS_PER_PGD corresponding to the 52-bit value.

We wish to introduce a 52-bit virtual address space for userspace but maintain compatibility with software that assumes the maximum VA space size is 48 bit. In order to achieve this, on 52-bit VA systems, we make mmap behave as if it were running on a 48-bit VA system (unless userspace explicitly requests a VA where addr[51:48] != 0). On a system running a 52-bit userspace we need TASK_SIZE to represent the 52-bit limit as it is used in various places to distinguish between kernelspace and userspace addresses. Thus we need a new limit for mmap, stack, ELF loader and EFI (which uses TTBR0) to represent the non-extended VA space. This patch introduces DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW and DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW_64 and switches the appropriate logic to use that instead of TASK_SIZE.

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap). Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to their architectural versions of arch_get_unmapped_* functions. However, on arm64 we use the generic versions of these functions. Rather than duplicate the generic arch_get_unmapped_* implementations for arm64, this patch instead introduces two architectural helper macros and applies them to arch_get_unmapped_*: arch_get_mmap_end(addr) - get mmap upper limit depending on addr hint arch_get_mmap_base(addr, base) - get mmap_base depending on addr hint If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural changes to architectures that do not define them.

If the kernel is configured with KASAN_EXTRA, the stack size is increased significantly due to setting the GCC -fstack-reuse option to "none" [1]. As a result, it can trigger a stack overrun quite often with 32k stack size compiled using GCC 8. For example, this reproducer https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/syscalls/madvise/madvise06.c can trigger a "corrupted stack end detected inside scheduler" very reliably with CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK enabled. There are other reports at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1542144497.12945.29.camel@gmx.us/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/721E7B42-2D55-4866-9C1A-3E8D64F33F9C@gmx.us/ There are just too many functions that could have a large stack with KASAN_EXTRA due to large local variables that have been called over and over again without being able to reuse the stacks. Some noticiable ones are, size 7536 shrink_inactive_list 7440 shrink_page_list 6560 fscache_stats_show 3920 jbd2_journal_commit_transaction 3216 try_to_unmap_one 3072 migrate_page_move_mapping 3584 migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page 3920 ip_vs_lblcr_schedule 4304 lpfc_nvme_info_show 3888 lpfc_debugfs_nvmestat_data.constprop There are other 49 functions over 2k in size while compiling kernel with "-Wframe-larger-than=" on this machine. Hence, it is too much work to change Makefiles for each object to compile without -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope individually.

The dcache_by_line_op macro suffers from a couple of small problems: First, the GAS directives that are currently being used rely on assembler behavior that is not documented, and probably not guaranteed to produce the correct behavior going forward. As a result, we end up with some undefined symbols in cache.o: $ nm arch/arm64/mm/cache.o ... U civac ... U cvac U cvap U cvau This is due to the fact that the comparisons used to select the operation type in the dcache_by_line_op macro are comparing symbols not strings, and even though it seems that GAS is doing the right thing here (undefined symbols by the same name are equal to each other), it seems unwise to rely on this. Second, when patching in a DC CVAP instruction on CPUs that support it, the fallback path consists of a DC CVAU instruction which may be affected by CPU errata that require ARM64_WORKAROUND_CLEAN_CACHE. Solve these issues by unrolling the various maintenance routines and using the conditional directives that are documented as operating on strings. To avoid the complexity of nested alternatives, we move the DC CVAP patching to __clean_dcache_area_pop, falling back to a branch to __clean_dcache_area_poc if DCPOP is not supported by the CPU.

Will Deacon authored
The "L" AArch64 machine constraint, which we use for the "old" value in an LL/SC cmpxchg(), generates an immediate that is suitable for a 64-bit logical instruction. However, for cmpxchg() operations on types smaller than 64 bits, this constraint can result in an invalid instruction which is correctly rejected by GAS, such as EOR W1, W1, #0xffffffff. Whilst we could special-case the constraint based on the cmpxchg size, it's far easier to change the constraint to "K" and put up with using a register for large 64-bit immediates. For out-of-line LL/SC atomics, this is all moot anyway. Reported-by: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Our percpu code is a bit of an inconsistent mess: * It rolls its own xchg(), but reuses cmpxchg_local() * It uses various different flavours of preempt_{enable,disable}() * It returns values even for the non-returning RmW operations * It makes no use of LSE atomics outside of the cmpxchg() ops * There are individual macros for different sizes of access, but these are all funneled through a switch statement rather than dispatched directly to the relevant case This patch rewrites the per-cpu operations to address these shortcomings. Whilst the new code is a lot cleaner, the big advantage is that we can use the non-returning ST- atomic instructions when we have LSE. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

The asm-generic/preempt.h implementation doesn't make use of the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED flag, since this can interact badly with load/store architectures which rely on the preempt_count word being unchanged across an interrupt. However, since we're a 64-bit architecture and the preempt count is only 32 bits wide, we can simply pack it next to the resched flag and load the whole thing in one go, so that a dec-and-test operation doesn't need to load twice.

Some CPUs can speculate past an ERET instruction and potentially perform speculative accesses to memory before processing the exception return. Since the register state is often controlled by a lower privilege level at the point of an ERET, this could potentially be used as part of a side-channel attack. This patch emits an SB sequence after each ERET so that speculation is held up on exception return. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

We maintain two separate tables of capabilities, errata and features, which decide the system capabilities. We iterate over each of these tables for various operations (e.g, detection, verification etc.). We do not have a way to map a system "capability" to its entry, (i.e, cap -> struct arm64_cpu_capabilities) which is needed for this_cpu_has_cap(). So we iterate over the table one by one to find the entry and then do the operation. Also, this prevents us from optimizing the way we "enable" the capabilities on the CPUs, where we now issue a stop_machine() for each available capability. One solution is to merge the two tables into a single table, sorted by the capability. But this is has the following disadvantages: - We loose the "classification" of an errata vs. feature - It is quite easy to make a mistake when adding an entry, unless we sort the table at runtime. So we maintain a list of pointers to the capability entry, sorted by the "cap number" in a separate array, initialized at boot time. The only restriction is that we can have one "entry" per capability. While at it, remove the duplicate declaration of arm64_errata table.

readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR): readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section. readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section. Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate) PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well. - Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd, the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the same time. - Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings above). - Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of ld.bfd. - Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout. These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary image. [0] b9dce7f1 ("arm64: kernel: force ET_DYN ELF type for ...")

Improve the performance of the crc32() asm routines by getting rid of most of the branches and small sized loads on the common path. Instead, use a branchless code path involving overlapping 16 byte loads to process the first (length % 32) bytes, and process the remainder using a loop that processes 32 bytes at a time. Tested using the following test program: #include <stdlib.h> extern void crc32_le(unsigned short, char const*, int); int main(void) { static const char buf[4096]; srand(20181126); for (int i = 0; i < 100 * 1000 * 1000; i++) crc32_le(0, buf, rand() % 1024); return 0; } On Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57, the performance regresses but only very slightly. On Cortex-A72 however, the performance improves from $ time ./crc32 real 0m10.149s user 0m10.149s sys 0m0.000s to $ time ./crc32 real 0m7.915s user 0m7.915s sys 0m0.000s Cc: Rui Sun <sunrui26@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

The save_return_regs and restore_return_regs macros are only used by return_to_handler, and having them defined out-of-line only serves to obscure the logic. Before we complicate, let's clean this up and fold the logic directly into return_to_handler, saving a few lines of macro boilerplate in the process. At the same time, a missing trailing space is added to the comments, fixing a code style violation. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

The core ftrace code requires that when it is handed the PC of an instrumented function, this PC is the address of the instrumented instruction. This is necessary so that the core ftrace code can identify the specific instrumentation site. Since the instrumented function will be a BL, the address of the instrumented function is LR - 4 at entry to the ftrace code. This fixup is applied in the mcount_get_pc and mcount_get_pc0 helpers, which acquire the PC of the instrumented function. The mcount_get_lr helper is used to acquire the LR of the instrumented function, whose value does not require this adjustment, and cannot be adjusted to anything meaningful. No adjustment of this value is made on other architectures, including arm. However, arm64 adjusts this value by 4. This patch brings arm64 in line with other architectures and removes the adjustment of the LR value.
