Provide a software-based implementation of the priviledged no access support found in ARMv8.1. Userspace pages are mapped using a different domain number from the kernel and IO mappings. If we switch the user domain to "no access" when we enter the kernel, we can prevent the kernel from touching userspace. However, the kernel needs to be able to access userspace via the various user accessor functions. With the wrapping in the previous patch, we can temporarily enable access when the kernel needs user access, and re-disable it afterwards. This allows us to trap non-intended accesses to userspace, eg, caused by an inadvertent dereference of the LIST_POISON* values, which, with appropriate user mappings setup, can be made to succeed. This in turn can allow use-after-free bugs to be further exploited than would otherwise be possible. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Provide hooks into the kernel entry and exit paths to permit control of userspace visibility to the kernel. The intended use is: - on entry to kernel from user, uaccess_disable will be called to disable userspace visibility - on exit from kernel to user, uaccess_enable will be called to enable userspace visibility - on entry from a kernel exception, uaccess_save_and_disable will be called to save the current userspace visibility setting, and disable access - on exit from a kernel exception, uaccess_restore will be called to restore the userspace visibility as it was before the exception occurred. These hooks allows us to keep userspace visibility disabled for the vast majority of the kernel, except for localised regions where we want to explicitly access userspace.

The following structure is just asking for trouble: #ifdef CONFIG_symbol .macro foo ... .endm .macro bar ... .endm .macro baz ... .endm #else .macro foo ... .endm .macro bar ... .endm #ifdef CONFIG_symbol2 .macro baz ... .endm #else .macro baz ... .endm #endif #endif such as one defintion being updated, but the other definitions miss out. Where the contents of a macro needs to be conditional, the hint is in the first clause of this very sentence. "contents" "conditional". Not multiple separate definitions, especially not when much of the macro is the same between different configs. This patch fixes this bad style, which had caused the Thumb2 code to miss-out on the uaccess updates. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Improve the do_ldrd_abort macro code - firstly, it inefficiently checks for the LDRD encoding by doing a multi-stage test of various bits. This can be simplified by generating a mask, bitmasking the instruction and then comparing the result. Secondly, we want to be able to test the result rather than branching to do_DataAbort, so remove the branch at the end and rename the macro to 'teq_ldrd' to reflect it's new usage. teq_ldrd macro returns 'eq' if the instruction was a LDRD.

The audit code looks like it's been written to cope with being called with IRQs enabled. However, it's unclear whether IRQs should be enabled or disabled when calling the syscall tracing infrastructure. Right now, sometimes we call this with IRQs enabled, and other times with IRQs disabled. Opt for IRQs being enabled for consistency.

Make the "fast" syscall return path fast again. The addition of IRQ tracing and context tracking has made this path grossly inefficient. We can do much better if these options are enabled if we save the syscall return code on the stack - we then don't need to save a bunch of registers around every single callout to C code.

Rather than modifying both the domain access control register and our per-thread copy, modify only the domain access control register, and use the per-thread copy to save and restore the register over context switches. We can also avoid the explicit initialisation of the init thread_info structure. This allows us to avoid needing to gain access to the thread information at the uaccess control sites.

Add early fixmap support, initially to support permanent, fixed mapping support for early console. A temporary, early pte is created which is migrated to a permanent mapping in paging_init. This is also needed since the attributes may change as the memory types are initialized. The 3MiB range of fixmap spans two pte tables, but currently only one pte is created for early fixmap support. Re-add FIX_KMAP_BEGIN to the index calculation in highmem.c since the index for kmap does not start at zero anymore. This reverts 4221e2e6 ("ARM: 8031/1: fixmap: remove FIX_KMAP_BEGIN and FIX_KMAP_END") to some extent.

U-Boot is often used to boot the kernel on ARM boards, but uImage is not built by "make all", so we are often inclined to do "make all uImage" to generate DTBs, modules and uImage in a single command, but we should notice a pitfall behind it. In fact, "make all uImage" could generate an invalid uImage if it is run with the parallel option (-j). You can reproduce this problem with the following procedure: [1] First, build "all" and "uImage" separately. You will get a valid uImage $ git clean -f -x -d $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<your-tools-prefix> $ make -s -j8 ARCH=arm multi_v7_defconfig $ make -s -j8 ARCH=arm all $ make -j8 ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x80208000 uImage CHK include/config/kernel.release CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h make[1]: `include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.

Besides, "Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready" is displayed twice, before and after the uImage log. The root cause of this is the race condition between zImage and uImage. Actually, uImage depends on zImage, but the dependency between the two is only described in arch/arm/boot/Makefile. Because arch/arm/boot/Makefile is not included from the top-level Makefile, it cannot know the dependency between zImage and uImage. Consequently, when we run make with the parallel option, Kbuild updates vmlinux first, and then two different threads descends into the arch/arm/boot/Makefile almost at the same time, one for updating zImage and the other for uImage. While one thread is re-generating zImage, the other also tries to update zImage before creating uImage on top of that. zImage is overwritten by the slower thread and then uImage is created based on the half-written zImage. This is the reason why "Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready" is displayed twice, and a broken uImage is created. The same problem could happen on bootpImage. This commit adds dependencies among Image, zImage, uImage, and bootpImage to arch/arm/Makefile, which is included from the top-level Makefile.

Since 906c5557 ("timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the real timekeeper last") it has become possible on ARM to: - Obtain a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE timestamp via syscall. - Subsequently obtain a timestamp for the same clock ID via VDSO which predates the first timestamp (by one jiffy). This is because ARM's update_vsyscall is deriving the coarse time using the __current_kernel_time interface, when it should really be using the timekeeper object provided to it by the timekeeping core. It happened to work before only because __current_kernel_time would access the same timekeeper object which had been passed to update_vsyscall. This is no longer the case.

ret_fast_syscall runs when user space makes a syscall. However it needs to be marked as such so the ELF information is correct. Before it was: 101: 8000f300 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 ret_fast_syscall But with this change it correctly shows as: 101: 8000f300 96 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 2 ret_fast_syscall I see this function when using perf to unwind call stacks from kernel space to user space.

Since the commit "b2c3e38a ARM: redo TTBR setup code for LPAE", the setup code had been reworked. As a result the secondary CPUs failed to come online in Big Endian. As explained by Russell, the new code expected the value in r4/r5 to be the least significant 32bits in r4 and the most significant 32bits in r5. However, in the secondary code, we load this using ldrd, which on BE reverses that. This patch swap r4/r5 after the ldrd. It is done using the xor instructions in order to not use a temporary register.

Writes to /sys/.../cpuX/online fail if we determine the platform doesn't support hotplug for that CPU. Furthermore, if the cpu_die op isn't specified the system hangs when we try to offline a CPU and it comes right back online unexpectedly. Let's figure this stuff out before we make the sysfs nodes so that the online file doesn't even exist if it isn't (at least sometimes) possible to hotplug the CPU. Add a new 'cpu_can_disable' op and repoint all 'cpu_disable' implementations at it because all implementers use the op to indicate if a CPU can be hotplugged or not in a static fashion. With PSCI we may need to add a 'cpu_disable' op so that the secure OS can be migrated off the CPU we're trying to hotplug. In this case, the 'cpu_can_disable' op will indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable by returning true, but the 'cpu_disable' op will make a PSCI migration call and occasionally fail, denying the hotplug of a CPU. This shouldn't be any worse than x86 where we may indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable but occasionally we can't offline a CPU due to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() failing to find a CPU to move vectors to.

The Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2014.05 toolchain (gcc 4.8.3, binutils 2.24.51) has a GCC which implements -fuse-ld, and it doesn't include the gold linker, but it lacks an ld.bfd executable in its installation. This means that passing -fuse-ld=bfd fails with: VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' Arguably this is a deficiency in the toolchain, but I suspect it's commonly used enough that it's worth accommodating: just use cc-ldoption (to cause a link attempt) instead of cc-option to test whether we can use -fuse-ld. So -fuse-ld=bfd won't be used with this toolchain, but the build will rightly succeed, just as it does for toolchains which don't implement -fuse-ld (and don't use gold as the default linker). Note: this will change the failure mode for a corner case I was trying to handle in d2b30cd4, where the toolchain defaults to the gold linker and the BFD linker is not found in PATH, from: VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' i.e. the BFD linker is not found, to: OBJCOPY arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so BFD: arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N that is, we fail to prevent gold from being used as the linker, and it produces an object that objcopy can't digest.

Overall, this results in a reduction of around 20K in the kernel size: text data bss dec hex filename 10773970 667392 10369656 21811018 14ccf4a ../build/imx6/vmlinux-old 10754219 667392 10369656 21791267 14c8223 ../build/imx6/vmlinux-new Another advantage to this approach is that we can finally resolve the issue of SoCs which have their own memory barrier requirements within multiplatform kernels (such as OMAP.) Here, the bus interconnects need additional handling to ensure that writes become visible in the correct order (eg, between dma_map() operations, writes to DMA coherent memory, and MMIO accesses.)

nr_bitmaps member of mapping structure stores the number of already allocated bitmaps and it is interpreted as loop iterator (it starts from 0 not from 1), so a comparison against number of possible bitmap extensions should include this fact. This patch fixes this by changing the extension failure condition. This issue has been introduced by commit 4d852ef8 ("arm: dma-mapping: Add support to extend DMA IOMMU mappings").

It's possible, albeit unlikely, that using the of_node here will reference freed memory. Call of_node_put() after printing the name to be safe.
