This patch adds CONFIG_ARM64_SVE to control building of SVE support into the kernel, and adds a stub predicate system_supports_sve() to control conditional compilation and runtime SVE support. system_supports_sve() just returns false for now: it will be replaced with a non-trivial implementation in a later patch, once SVE support is complete enough to be enabled safely.

Manipulating the SVE architectural state, including the vector and predicate registers, first-fault register and the vector length, requires the use of dedicated instructions added by SVE. This patch adds suitable assembly functions for saving and restoring the SVE registers and querying the vector length. Setting of the vector length is done as part of register restore. Since people building kernels may not all get an SVE-enabled toolchain for a while, this patch uses macros that generate explicit opcodes in place of assembler mnemonics.

The existing FPSIMD context switch code contains a couple of instances of {set,clear}_ti_thread(task_thread_info(task)). Since there are thread flag manipulators that operate directly on task_struct, this verbosity isn't strictly needed. For consistency, this patch simplifies the affected calls. This should have no impact on behaviour.

Currently, armv8_deprected.c takes charge of the "abi" sysctl directory, which makes life difficult for other code that wants to register sysctls in the same directory. There is a "new" [1] sysctl registration interface that removes the need to define ctl_tables for parent directories explicitly, which is ideal here. This patch ports register_insn_emulation_sysctl() over to the register_sysctl() interface and removes the redundant ctl_table for "abi".

The EFI runtime services ABI permits calls to EFI to clobber certain FPSIMD/NEON registers, as per the AArch64 procedure call standard. Saving/restoring the clobbered registers around such calls needs KERNEL_MODE_NEON, but the dependency is missing from Kconfig. This patch adds the missing dependency. This will aid bisection of the patches implementing support for the ARM Scalable Vector Extension (SVE).

Currently, a guest kernel sees the true CPU feature registers (ID_*_EL1) when it reads them using MRS instructions. This means that the guest may observe features that are present in the hardware but the host doesn't understand or doesn't provide support for. A guest may legimitately try to use such a feature as per the architecture, but use of the feature may trap instead of working normally, triggering undef injection into the guest. This is not a problem for the host, but the guest may go wrong when running on newer hardware than the host knows about. This patch hides from guest VMs any AArch64-specific CPU features that the host doesn't support, by exposing to the guest the sanitised versions of the registers computed by the cpufeatures framework, instead of the true hardware registers. To achieve this, HCR_EL2.TID3 is now set for AArch64 guests, and emulation code is added to KVM to report the sanitised versions of the affected registers in response to MRS and register reads from userspace. The affected registers are removed from invariant_sys_regs[] (since the invariant_sys_regs handling is no longer quite correct for them) and added to sys_reg_desgs[], with appropriate access(), get_user() and set_user() methods. No runtime vcpu storage is allocated for the registers: instead, they are read on demand from the cpufeatures framework. This may need modification in the future if there is a need for userspace to customise the features visible to the guest. Attempts by userspace to write the registers are handled similarly to the current invariant_sys_regs handling: writes are permitted, but only if they don't attempt to change the value. This is sufficient to support VM snapshot/restore from userspace. Because of the additional registers, restoring a VM on an older kernel may not work unless userspace knows how to handle the extra VM registers exposed to the KVM user ABI by this patch. Under the principle of least damage, this patch makes no attempt to handle any of the other registers currently in invariant_sys_regs[], or to emulate registers for AArch32: however, these could be handled in a similar way in future, as necessary.

Currently sys_rt_sigreturn() verifies that the base sigframe is readable, but no similar check is performed on the extra data to which an extra_context record points. This matters because the extra data will be read with the unprotected user accessors. However, this is not a problem at present because the extra data base address is required to be exactly at the end of the base sigframe. So, there would need to be a non-user-readable kernel address within about 59K (SIGFRAME_MAXSZ - sizeof(struct rt_sigframe)) of some address for which access_ok(VERIFY_READ) returns true, in order for sigreturn to be able to read kernel memory that should be inaccessible to the user task. This is currently impossible due to the untranslatable address hole between the TTBR0 and TTBR1 address ranges. Disappearance of the hole between the TTBR0 and TTBR1 mapping ranges would require the VA size for TTBR0 and TTBR1 to grow to at least 55 bits, and either the disabling of tagged pointers for userspace or enabling of tagged pointers for kernel space; none of which is currently envisaged. Even so, it is wrong to use the unprotected user accessors without an accompanying access_ok() check. To avoid the potential for future surprises, this patch does an explicit access_ok() check on the extra data space when parsing an extra_context record.

Currently the regset API doesn't allow for the possibility that regsets (or at least, the amount of meaningful data in a regset) may change in size. In particular, this results in useless padding being added to coredumps if a regset's current size is smaller than its theoretical maximum size. This patch adds a get_size() function to struct user_regset. Individual regset implementations can implement this function to return the current size of the regset data. A regset_size() function is added to provide callers with an abstract interface for determining the size of a regset without needing to know whether the regset is dynamically sized or not. The only affected user of this interface is the ELF coredump code: This patch ports ELF coredump to dump regsets with their actual size in the coredump. This has no effect except for new regsets that are dynamically sized and provide a get_size() implementation.

Today SError is taken using the inv_entry macro that ends up in bad_mode. SError can be used by the RAS Extensions to notify either the OS or firmware of CPU problems, some of which may have been corrected. To allow this handling to be added, add a do_serror() C function that just panic()s. Add the entry.S boiler plate to save/restore the CPU registers and unmask debug exceptions. Future patches may change do_serror() to return if the SError Interrupt was notification of a corrected error.

To take RAS Exceptions as quickly as possible we need to keep SError unmasked as much as possible. We need to mask it during kernel_exit as taking an error from this code will overwrite the exception-registers. Adding a naked 'disable_daif' to kernel_exit causes a performance problem for micro-benchmarks that do no real work, (e.g. calling getpid() in a loop). This is because the ret_to_user loop has already masked IRQs so that the TIF_WORK_MASK thread flags can't change underneath it, adding disable_daif is an additional self-synchronising operation. In the future, the RAS APEI code may need to modify the TIF_WORK_MASK flags from an SError, in which case the ret_to_user loop must mask SError while it examines the flags. Disable all exceptions for return to EL1. For return to EL0 get the ret_to_user loop to leave all exceptions masked once it has done its work, this avoids an extra pstate-write.

Remove the local_{async,fiq}_{en,dis}able macros as they don't respect our newly defined order and are only used to set the flags for process context when we bring CPUs online. Add a helper to do this. The IRQ flag varies as we want it masked on the boot CPU until we are ready to handle interrupts. The boot CPU unmasks SError during early boot once it can print an error message. If we can print an error message about SError, we can do the same for FIQ.

Currently SError is always masked in the kernel. To support RAS exceptions using SError on hardware with the v8.2 RAS Extensions we need to unmask SError as much as possible. Let's define an order for masking and unmasking exceptions. 'dai' is memorable and effectively what we have today. Disabling debug exceptions should cause all other exceptions to be masked. Masking SError should mask irq, but not disable debug exceptions. Masking irqs has no side effects for other flags. Keeping to this order makes it easier for entry.S to know which exceptions should be unmasked. FIQ is never expected, but we mask it when we mask debug exceptions, and unmask it at all other times. Given masking debug exceptions masks everything, we don't need macros to save/restore that bit independently. Remove them and switch the last caller over to use the daif calls.

There are a few places where we want to mask all exceptions. Today we do this in a piecemeal fashion, typically we expect the caller to have masked irqs and the arch code masks debug exceptions, ignoring serror which is probably masked. Make it clear that 'mask all exceptions' is the intention by adding helpers to do exactly that. This will let us unmask SError without having to add 'oh and SError' to these paths.

Commit 42dbf54e ("arm64: consistently log ESR and page table") dumps page table entries for user faults hitting do_bad entries in the fault handler table. Whilst this shouldn't really happen in practice, it's not beyond the realms of possibility if e.g. running an old kernel on a new CPU. Generally, we want to avoid exposing physical addresses under the control of userspace (see commit bf396c09 ("arm64: mm: don't print out page table entries on EL0 faults")), so walk the page tables only on exceptions from EL1.

The vdso tries to check for a NULL res pointer in __kernel_clock_getres, but only checks the lower 32 bits as is uses CBZ on the W register the res pointer is held in. Thus, if the res pointer happened to be aligned to a 4GiB boundary, we'd spuriously skip storing the timespec to it, while returning a zero error code to the caller. Prevent this by checking the whole pointer, using CBZ on the X register the res pointer is held in.

Upon upgrading to binutils 2.27, we found that our lz4 and gzip compressed kernel images were significantly larger, resulting is 10ms boot time regressions. As noted by Rahul: "aarch64 binaries uses RELA relocations, where each relocation entry includes an addend value. This is similar to x86_64. On x86_64, the addend values are also stored at the relocation offset for relative relocations. This is an optimization: in the case where code does not need to be relocated, the loader can simply skip processing relative relocations. In binutils-2.25, both bfd and gold linkers did this for x86_64, but only the gold linker did this for aarch64. The kernel build here is using the bfd linker, which stored zeroes at the relocation offsets for relative relocations. Since a set of zeroes compresses better than a set of non-zero addend values, this behavior was resulting in much better lz4 compression. The bfd linker in binutils-2.27 is now storing the actual addend values at the relocation offsets. The behavior is now consistent with what it does for x86_64 and what gold linker does for both architectures. The change happened in this upstream commit: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=1f56df9d0d5ad89806c24e71f296576d82344613 Since a bunch of zeroes got replaced by non-zero addend values, we see the side effect of lz4 compressed image being a bit bigger. To get the old behavior from the bfd linker, "--no-apply-dynamic-relocs" flag can be used: $ LDFLAGS="--no-apply-dynamic-relocs" make With this flag, the compressed image size is back to what it was with binutils-2.25. If the kernel is using ASLR, there aren't additional runtime costs to --no-apply-dynamic-relocs, as the relocations will need to be applied again anyway after the kernel is relocated to a random address. If the kernel is not using ASLR, then presumably the current default behavior of the linker is better. Since the static linker performed the dynamic relocs, and the kernel is not moved to a different address at load time, it can skip applying the relocations all over again."

The generic pte_access_permitted() implementation only checks for pte_present() (together with the write permission where applicable). However, for both kernel ptes and PROT_NONE mappings pte_present() also returns true on arm64 even though such mappings are not user accessible. Additionally, arm64 now supports execute-only user permission (PROT_EXEC) which is implemented by clearing the PTE_USER bit. With this patch the arm64 implementation of pte_access_permitted() checks for the PTE_VALID and PTE_USER bits together with writable access if applicable.

When we take a fault we can't handle, we try to dump some relevant information, but we're not consistent about doing so. In do_mem_abort(), we log the full ESR, but don't dump a page table walk. In __do_kernel_fault, we dump an attempted decoding of the ESR (but not the ESR itself) along with a page table walk. Let's try to make things more consistent by dumping the full ESR in mem_abort_decode(), and having do_mem_abort dump a page table walk.

__memcpy_{to,from}io fall back to byte-at-a-time copying if both the source and destination pointers are not 8-byte aligned. Since one of the pointers always points at normal memory, this is unnecessary and detrimental to performance, so only do byte copying until we hit an 8-byte boundary for the device pointer. This change was motivated by performance issues in the pstore driver. On a test platform, measuring probe time for pstore, console buffer size of 1/4MB and pmsg of 1/2MB, was in the 90-107ms region. Change managed to reduce it to 10-25ms, an improvement in boot time.

arm_pmu interrupts are maked as PERCPU even when these are not local physical interrupts to a single CPU. When using non-local interrupts, interrupts marked as PERCPU will not get freed not disabled properly by the PMU driver. Check if interrupts are local to a single CPU with PERCPU_DEVID since this is what the PMU driver really needs to know.

irq_is_percpu indicates whether an irq should only target a single cpu. PERCPU_DEVID flag indicates that an irq can be configured differently on each cpu it can target. Provide a function to check whether an irq is PERCPU_DEVID.

Now that the ARM ARM clearly specifies the rules for inferring the values of the ID register fields, fix the types of the feature bits we have in the kernel. As per ARM ARM DDI0487B.b, section D10.1.4 "Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers" lists the registers to which the scheme applies along with the exceptions. This patch changes the relevant feature bits from FTR_EXACT to FTR_LOWER_SAFE to select the safer value. This will enable an older kernel running on a new CPU detect the safer option rather than completely disabling the feature.
