Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file. A user space tool, like kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating a separate region for the core's ELF header within crash kdump kernel memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load(). Then, its location will be advertised to crash dump kernel via a new device-tree property, "linux,elfcorehdr", and crash dump kernel preserves the region for later use with reserve_elfcorehdr() at boot time. On crash dump kernel, /proc/vmcore will access the primary kernel's memory with copy_oldmem_page(), which feeds the data page-by-page by ioremap'ing it since it does not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel. Meanwhile, elfcorehdr_read() is simple as the region is always mapped.

Primary kernel calls machine_crash_shutdown() to shut down non-boot cpus and save registers' status in per-cpu ELF notes before starting crash dump kernel. See kernel_kexec(). Even if not all secondary cpus have shut down, we do kdump anyway. As we don't have to make non-boot(crashed) cpus offline (to preserve correct status of cpus at crash dump) before shutting down, this patch also adds a variant of smp_send_stop().

Since arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() removes a mapping for crash dump kernel image, the loaded data won't be preserved around hibernation. In this patch, helper functions, crash_prepare_suspend()/ crash_post_resume(), are additionally called before/after hibernation so that the relevant memory segments will be mapped again and preserved just as the others are. In addition, to minimize the size of hibernation image, crash_is_nosave() is added to pfn_is_nosave() in order to recognize only the pages that hold loaded crash dump kernel image as saveable. Hibernation excludes any pages that are marked as Reserved and yet "nosave."

arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() and arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres() are meant to be called by kexec_load() in order to protect the memory allocated for crash dump kernel once the image is loaded. The protection is implemented by unmapping the relevant segments in crash dump kernel memory, rather than making it read-only as other archs do, to prevent coherency issues due to potential cache aliasing (with mismatched attributes). Page-level mappings are consistently used here so that we can change the attributes of segments in page granularity as well as shrink the region also in page granularity through /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size, putting the freed memory back to buddy system.

Add memblock_cap_memory_range() which will remove all the memblock regions except the memory range specified in the arguments. In addition, rework is done on memblock_mem_limit_remove_map() to re-implement it using memblock_cap_memory_range(). This function, like memblock_mem_limit_remove_map(), will not remove memblocks with MEMMAP_NOMAP attribute as they may be mapped and accessed later as "device memory." See the commit a571d4eb ("mm/memblock.c: add new infrastructure to address the mem limit issue"). This function is used, in a succeeding patch in the series of arm64 kdump suuport, to limit the range of usable memory, or System RAM, on crash dump kernel.

To prevent unintended modifications to the kernel text (malicious or otherwise) while running the EFI stub, describe the kernel image as two separate sections: a .text section with read-execute permissions, covering .text, .rodata and .init.text, and a .data section with read-write permissions, covering .init.data, .data and .bss. This relies on the firmware to actually take the section permission flags into account, but this is something that is currently being implemented in EDK2, which means we will likely start seeing it in the wild between one and two years from now.

The kernel's EFI PE/COFF header contains a dummy .reloc section, and an explanatory comment that claims that this is required for the EFI application loader to accept the Image as a relocatable image (i.e., one that can be loaded at any offset and fixed up in place) This was inherited from the x86 implementation, which has elaborate host tooling to mangle the PE/COFF header post-link time, and which populates the .reloc section with a single dummy base relocation. On ARM, no such tooling exists, and the .reloc section remains empty, and is never even exposed via the BaseRelocationTable directory entry, which is where the PE/COFF loader looks for it. The PE/COFF spec is unclear about relocatable images that do not require any fixups, but the EDK2 implementation, which is the de facto reference for PE/COFF in the UEFI space, clearly does not care, and explicitly mentions (in a comment) that relocatable images with no base relocations are perfectly fine, as long as they don't have the RELOCS_STRIPPED attribute set (which is not the case for our PE/COFF image) So simply remove the .reloc section altogether.

Also, since we will be eliminating all open coded constants from the EFI header in subsequent patches, let's replace the open coded "ARM\x64" magic number with its .ascii equivalent.

read_system_reg() can readily be confused with read_sysreg(), whereas these are really quite different in their meaning. This patches attempts to reduce the ambiguity be reserving "sysreg" for the actual system register accessors. read_system_reg() is instead renamed to read_sanitised_ftr_reg(), to make it more obvious that the Linux-defined sanitised feature register cache is being accessed here, not the underlying architectural system registers. cpufeature.c's internal __raw_read_system_reg() function is renamed in line with its actual purpose: a form of read_sysreg() that indexes on (non-compiletime-constant) encoding rather than symbolic register name.

By allowing platform MSI domain to be created on ACPI platforms, a platform device MSI domain can be set-up when it is probed. In order to do that, the MSI domain the platform device connects to should be retrieved, so the iort_get_platform_device_domain() is introduced to retrieve the domain from the IORT kernel layer. With the domain retrieved, we need a proper way to set the domain to platform device. Given that some platform devices (irqchips) require the MSI irqdomain to be their interrupt parent domain, the MSI irqdomain should be determined before platform device is probed but after the platform device is allocated which means that the code setting up the MSI irqdomain, ie acpi_configure_pmsi_domain() should be called in acpi_platform_notify() (that is triggered after adding a device but before the respective driver is probed) for the platform MSI domain code set-up path to work properly.

To retrieve dev id for IORT named components nodes there are two steps involved (second is optional): (1) Retrieve the initial id (this may well provide the final mapping) (2) Map the id (optional if (1) represents the map type we need), this is needed for use cases such as NC (named component) -> SMMU -> ITS mappings. the iort_node_get_id() function was created for step (1) above and iort_node_map_rid() for step (2). Create a wrapper, named iort_node_map_platform_id(), that encompasses the two steps at once to retrieve the dev id to provide steps (1)-(2) functionality. iort_node_map_platform_id() will handle the parent type so type handling in iort_node_get_id() is duplicated, remove it and update current iort_node_get_id() users to move them over to iort_node_map_platform_id().

iort_node_map_rid() was designed to take an input id (that is not necessarily a PCI requester id) and map it to an output id (eg an SMMU streamid or an ITS deviceid) according to the mappings provided by an IORT node mapping entries. This means that the iort_node_map_rid() input id is not always a PCI requester id as its name, parameters and local variables suggest, which is misleading. Apply the s/rid/id substitution to the iort_node_map_rid() mapping function and its users to make sure its intended usage is clearer.

This is the third attempt at enabling the use of contiguous hints for kernel mappings. The most recent attempt 0bfc445d was reverted after it turned out that updating permission attributes on live contiguous ranges may result in TLB conflicts. So this time, the contiguous hint is not set for .rodata or for the linear alias of .text/.rodata, both of which are mapped read-write initially, and remapped read-only at a later stage. (Note that the latter region could also be unmapped and remapped again with updated permission attributes, given that the region, while live, is only mapped for the convenience of the hibernation code, but that also means the TLB footprint is negligible anyway, so why bother) This enables the following contiguous range sizes for the virtual mapping of the kernel image, and for the linear mapping: granule size | cont PTE | cont PMD | -------------+------------+------------+ 4 KB | 64 KB | 32 MB | 16 KB | 2 MB | 1 GB* | 64 KB | 2 MB | 16 GB* | * Only when built for 3 or more levels of translation. This is due to the fact that a 2 level configuration only consists of PGDs and PTEs, and the added complexity of dealing with folded PMDs is not justified considering that 16 GB contiguous ranges are likely to be ignored by the hardware (and 16k/2 levels is a niche configuration) Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Tested-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

The debug_pagealloc facility manipulates kernel mappings in the linear region at page granularity to detect out of bounds or use-after-free accesses. Since the kernel segments are not allocated dynamically, there is no point in taking the debug_pagealloc_enabled flag into account for them, and we can use block mappings unconditionally. Note that this applies equally to the linear alias of text/rodata: we will never have dynamic allocations there given that the same memory is statically in use by the kernel image.

To avoid having mappings that are writable and executable at the same time, split the init region into a .init.text region that is mapped read-only, and a .init.data region that is mapped non-executable. This is possible now that the alternative patching occurs via the linear mapping, and the linear alias of the init region is always mapped writable (but never executable).

We mostly adhere to this rule in the kernel, except at boot time, when regions may be mapped RWX until after we are done applying alternatives or making other one-off changes. For the alternative patching, we can improve the situation by applying the fixups via the linear mapping, which is never mapped with executable permissions. So map the linear alias of .text with RW- permissions initially, and remove the write permissions as soon as alternative patching has completed.

In preparation of refactoring the kernel mapping logic so that text regions are never mapped writable, which would require adding explicit TLB maintenance to new call sites of create_mapping_late() (which is currently invoked twice from the same function), move the TLB maintenance from the call site into create_mapping_late() itself, and change it from a full TLB flush into a flush by VA, which is more appropriate here. Also, given that create_mapping_late() has evolved into a routine that only updates protection bits on existing mappings, rename it to update_mapping_prot() Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Tested-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
