Since bbb56c27 ("arm64: Add detection code for broken .inst support in binutils"), running any make target that doesn't involve the cross compiler results in a spurious warning: $ make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig arch/arm64/Makefile:43: Detected assembler with broken .inst; disassembly will be unreliable while $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-arm-linux- menuconfig is silent (assuming your compiler is not affected). That's because the code that tests for the workaround is always run, irrespective of the current configuration being available or not. An easy fix is to make the detection conditional on CONFIG_ARM64 being defined, which is only the case when actually building something.

Now that we have a framework to handle the ACPI bits, make the PMUv3 code use this. The framework is a little different to what was originally envisaged, and we can drop some unused support code in the process of moving over to it.

When probing via ACPI, we won't know up-front whether a CPU has a PMUv3 compatible PMU. Thus we need to consult ID registers during probe time. This patch updates our PMUv3 probing code to test for the presence of PMUv3 functionality before touching an PMUv3-specific registers, and before updating the struct arm_pmu with PMUv3 data. When a PMUv3-compatible PMU is not present, probing will return -ENODEV.

This patch adds framework code to handle parsing PMU data out of the MADT, sanity checking this, and managing the association of CPUs (and their interrupts) with appropriate logical PMUs. For the time being, we expect that only one PMU driver (PMUv3) will make use of this, and we simply pass in a single probe function. This is based on an earlier patch from Jeremy Linton.

Currently the ACPI parking protocol code needs to parse each CPU's MADT GICC table to extract the mailbox address and so on. Each time we parse a GICC table, we call back to the parking protocol code to parse it. This has been fine so far, but we're about to have more code that needs to extract data from the GICC tables, and adding a callback for each user is going to get unwieldy. Instead, this patch ensures that we stash a copy of each CPU's GICC table at boot time, such that anything needing to parse it can later request it. This will allow for other parsers of GICC, and for simplification to the ACPI parking protocol code. Note that we must store a copy, rather than a pointer, since the core ACPI code temporarily maps/unmaps tables while iterating over them. Since we parse the MADT before we know how many CPUs we have (and hence before we setup the percpu areas), we must use an NR_CPUS sized array.

Now that we've split the pdev and DT probing logic from the runtime management, let's move the former into its own file.

This works for platform/DT probing today, but it doesn't fit ACPI well as we don't have all our affinity data up-front.

Currently we have functions to request/free all IRQs for a given PMU. While this works today, this won't work for ACPI, where we don't know the full set of IRQs up front, and need to request them separately. To enable supporting ACPI, this patch splits out the cpu-local request/free into new functions, allowing us to request/free individual IRQs. As this makes it possible/necessary to request a PPI once per cpu, an additional check is added to detect mismatched PPIs. This shouldn't matter for the DT / platform case, as we check this when parsing.

For historical reasons, portions of the arm_pmu code use a cpu_pmu_ prefix rather than an armpmu_ prefix. While a minor annoyance, this hasn't been a problem thusfar. However, to enable ACPI support, we'll need to expose a few things in header files, and we should aim to keep those consistently namespaced. In preparation for exporting our IRQ request/free functions, rename these to have an armpmu_ prefix. For consistency, the 'cpu_pmu' parameter is also renamed to 'armpmu'.

In armpmu_dispatch_irq() we look at arm_pmu::plat_device to acquire platdata, so that we can defer to platform-specific IRQ handling, required on some 32-bit parts. With the advent of ACPI we won't always have a platform_device, and so we must avoid trying to dereference fields from it. This patch fixes up armpmu_dispatch_irq() to avoid doing so, introducing a new armpmu_get_platdata() helper.

We currently disable the PMU temporarily in armpmu_add(). We may have required this historically, but the perf core always disables an event's PMU when calling event::pmu::add(), so this is not necessary. We don't do similarly in armpmu_del(), or elsewhere, so this is unnecessary and inconsistent, and only serves to confuse the reader.

In cases where a device tree is not provided (ie ACPI based system), an empty fdt is generated by efistub. #address-cells and #size-cells are not set in the empty fdt, so they default to 1 (4 byte wide). This can be an issue on 64-bit systems where values representing addresses, etc may be 8 bytes wide as the default value does not align with the general requirements for an empty DTB, and is fragile when passed to other agents as extra care is required to read the entire width of a value. This issue is observed on Qualcomm Technologies QDF24XX platforms when kexec-tools inserts 64-bit addresses into the "linux,elfcorehdr" and "linux,usable-memory-range" properties of the fdt. When the values are later consumed, they are truncated to 32-bit. Setting #address-cells and #size-cells to 2 at creation of the empty fdt resolves the observed issue, and makes the fdt less fragile.

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.

Since arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() removes a mapping for crash dump kernel image, the loaded data won't be preserved around hibernation.

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.

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.
