If CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=n then we fail to report ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 as 0 when read by userspace, despite being required by the architecture. Although this is theoretically a change in ABI, userspace will first check for the presence of SVE via the HWCAP or the ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE field before probing the ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 register. Given that these are reported correctly for this configuration, we can safely tighten up the current behaviour. Ensure ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 is treated as RAZ when CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=n.

We export the entire kernel address space (i.e. the whole of the TTBR1 address range) via /proc/kcore. The kc_vaddr_to_offset() and kc_offset_to_vaddr() macros are intended to convert between a kernel virtual address and its offset relative to the start of the TTBR1 address space. Prior to commit: 14c127c9 ("arm64: mm: Flip kernel VA space") ... the offset was calculated relative to VA_START, which at the time was the start of the TTBR1 address space. At this time, PAGE_OFFSET pointed to the high half of the TTBR1 address space where arm64's linear map lived. That commit swapped the position of VA_START and PAGE_OFFSET, but failed to update kc_vaddr_to_offset() or kc_offset_to_vaddr(), so since then the two macros behave incorrectly. Note that VA_START was subsequently renamed to PAGE_END in commit: 77ad4ce6 ("arm64: memory: rename VA_START to PAGE_END") As the generic implementations of the two macros calculate the offset relative to PAGE_OFFSET (which is now the start of the TTBR1 address space), we can delete the arm64 implementation and use those.

CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is defined by passing '-DCONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO' to the compiler when the generic compat vDSO code is in use. It's much cleaner and simpler to expose this as a proper Kconfig option (like x86 does), so do that and remove the bodge.

Directly passing the '--target' option to clang by appending to COMPATCC does not work if COMPATCC has been specified explicitly as an argument to Make unless the 'override' directive is used, which is ugly and different to what is done in the top-level Makefile. Move the '--target' option for clang out of COMPATCC and into VDSO_CAFLAGS, where it will be picked up when compiling and assembling the 32-bit vDSO under clang.

KBUILD_CPPFLAGS is defined differently depending on whether the main compiler is clang or not. This means that it is not possible to build the compat vDSO with GCC if the rest of the kernel is built with clang.

The .config file and the generated include/config/auto.conf can end up out of sync after a set of commands since CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO is not updated correctly. The sequence can be reproduced as follows: $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig [...] $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- menuconfig [set CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO="arm-linux-gnueabihf-"] $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Which results in: arch/arm64/Makefile:62: CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT not defined or empty, the compat vDSO will not be built even though the compat vDSO has been built: $ file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=c67f6c786f2d2d6f86c71f708595594aa25247f6, stripped A similar case that involves changing the configuration parameter multiple times can be reconducted to the same family of problems.

When detecting a spurious EL1 translation fault, we attempt to compare ESR_EL1.DFSC with PAR_EL1.FST. We erroneously use FIELD_PREP() to extract PAR_EL1.FST, when we should be using FIELD_GET(). In the wise words of Robin Murphy: | FIELD_GET() is a UBFX, FIELD_PREP() is a BFI Using FIELD_PREP() means that that dfsc & ESR_ELx_FSC_TYPE is always zero, and hence not equal to ESR_ELx_FSC_FAULT. Thus we detect any unhandled translation fault as spurious. ... so let's use FIELD_GET() to ensure we don't decide all translation faults are spurious. ESR_EL1.DFSC occupies bits [5:0], and requires no shifting.

CPUs affected by Neoverse-N1 #1542419 may execute a stale instruction if it was recently modified. The affected sequence requires freshly written instructions to be executable before a branch to them is updated. There are very few places in the kernel that modify executable text, all but one come with sufficient synchronisation: * The module loader's flush_module_icache() calls flush_icache_range(), which does a kick_all_cpus_sync() * bpf_int_jit_compile() calls flush_icache_range(). * Kprobes calls aarch64_insn_patch_text(), which does its work in stop_machine(). * static keys and ftrace both patch between nops and branches to existing kernel code (not generated code). The affected sequence is the interaction between ftrace and modules. The module PLT is cleaned using __flush_icache_range() as the trampoline shouldn't be executable until we update the branch to it. Drop the double-underscore so that this path runs kick_all_cpus_sync() too. Signed-off-by: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>

Commit bd82d4bd ("arm64: Fix incorrect irqflag restore for priority masking") added a macro to the entry.S call paths that leave the PSTATE.I bit set. This tells the pPNMI masking logic that interrupts are masked by the CPU, not by the PMR. This value is read back by local_daif_save(). Commit bd82d4bd added this call to el0_svc, as el0_svc_handler is called with interrupts masked. el0_svc_compat was missed, but should be covered in the same way as both of these paths end up in el0_svc_common(), which expects to unmask interrupts.

If we take an unhandled fault in the kernel, we call show_pte() to dump the {PGDP,PGD,PUD,PMD,PTE} values for the corresponding page table walk, where the PGDP value is virt_to_phys(mm->pgd). The boot-time and runtime kernel page tables, init_pg_dir and swapper_pg_dir respectively, are kernel symbols. Thus, it is not valid to call virt_to_phys() on either of these, though we'll do so if we take a fault on a TTBR1 address. When CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not selected, virt_to_phys() will silently fix this up. However, when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is selected, this results in splats as below. Depending on when these occur, they can happen to suppress information needed to debug the original unhandled fault, such as the backtrace: | Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff7fffec73cf0f | Mem abort info: | ESR = 0x96000004 | EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits | SET = 0, FnV = 0 | EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 | Data abort info: | ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 | CM = 0, WnR = 0 | ------------[ cut here ]------------ | virt_to_phys used for non-linear address: 00000000102c9dbe (swapper_pg_dir+0x0/0x1000) | WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 7558 at arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c:15 __virt_to_phys+0xe0/0x170 arch/arm64/mm/physaddr.c:12 | Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ... | SMP: stopping secondary CPUs | Dumping ftrace buffer: | (ftrace buffer empty) | Kernel Offset: disabled | CPU features: 0x0002,23000438 | Memory Limit: none | Rebooting in 1 seconds.. We can avoid this by ensuring that we call __pa_symbol() for init_mm.pgd, as this will always be a kernel symbol. As the dumped {PGD,PUD,PMD,PTE} values are the raw values from the relevant entries we don't need to handle these specially.

The HWCAP framework will detect a new capability based on the sanitized version of the ID registers. Sanitization is based on a whitelist, so any field not described will end up to be zeroed. At the moment, ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.FRINTTS is not described in ftr_id_aa64isar1. This means the field will be zeroed and therefore the userspace will not be able to see the HWCAP even if the hardware supports the feature. This can be fixed by describing the field in ftr_id_aa64isar1.

As of ac7c3e4f ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING forcibly"), inline functions are no longer annotated with '__always_inline', which allows the compiler to decide whether inlining is really a good idea or not. Although this is a great idea on paper, the reality is that AArch64 GCC prior to 9.1 has been shown to get confused when creating an out-of-line copy of a function passing explicit 'register' variables into an inline assembly block: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91111 It's not clear whether this is specific to arm64 or not but, for now, ensure that all of our functions using 'register' variables are marked as '__always_inline' so that the old behaviour is effectively preserved. Hopefully other architectures are luckier with their compilers.

The system which has SVE feature crashed because of the memory pointed by task->thread.sve_state was destroyed by someone. That is because sve_state is freed while the forking the child process. The child process has the pointer of sve_state which is same as the parent's because the child's task_struct is copied from the parent's one. If the copy_process() fails as an error on somewhere, for example, copy_creds(), then the sve_state is freed even if the parent is alive. The flow is as follows. copy_process p = dup_task_struct => arch_dup_task_struct *dst = *src; // copy the entire region. : retval = copy_creds if (retval < 0) goto bad_fork_free; : bad_fork_free: ... delayed_free_task(p); => free_task => arch_release_task_struct => fpsimd_release_task => __sve_free => kfree(task->thread.sve_state); // free the parent's sve_state Move child's sve_state = NULL and clearing TIF_SVE flag to arch_dup_task_struct() so that the child doesn't free the parent's one. There is no need to wait until copy_process() to clear TIF_SVE for dst, because the thread flags for dst are initialized already by copying the src task_struct. This change simplifies the code, so get rid of comments that are no longer needed. As a note, arm64 used to have thread_info on the stack. So it would not be possible to clear TIF_SVE until the stack is initialized. From commit c02433dd ("arm64: split thread_info from task stack"), the thread_info is part of the task, so it should be valid to modify the flag from arch_dup_task_struct().

While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want to block for sufficient amounts of entropy. The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing. This is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of reasonably complex loads. We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this should be at least a reasonable starting point. As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external entropy. * getrandom() active entropy waiting: Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug"" random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it

This reverts commit 72dbcf72. Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be reverted. So revert the revert. Cc: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwish.07@gmail.com> Cc: Ted Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Cc: Alexander E.

For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random numbers when it really didn't need to. See commit 72dbcf72 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug"). This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to initialize. This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on most other modern CPU's too. What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a timer. I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter. Not because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be. Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool. As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in the absense of external interrupts. But this tries to take that further by actually having a fairly complex interaction. This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable, and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant. And by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid the possibly unbounded waiting).
