Currently the kernel patches all necessary instructions once at boot
time, so modules are not covered by this.
Change the apply_alternatives() function to take a beginning and an
end pointer and introduce a new variant (apply_alternatives_all()) to
cover the existing use case for the static kernel image section.
Add a module_finalize() function to arm64 to check for an
alternatives section in a module and patch only the instructions from
that specific area.
Since that module code is not touched before the module
initialization has ended, we don't need to halt the machine before
doing the patching in the module's code.

If the overflow threshold for a counter is set above or near the
0xffffffff boundary then the kernel may lose track of the overflow
causing only events that occur *after* the overflow to be recorded.
Specifically the problem occurs when the value of the performance counter
overtakes its original programmed value due to wrap around.
Typical solutions to this problem are either to avoid programming in
values likely to be overtaken or to treat the overflow bit as the 33rd
bit of the counter.
Its somewhat fiddly to refactor the code to correctly handle the 33rd bit
during irqsave sections (context switches for example) so instead we take
the simpler approach of avoiding values likely to be overtaken.
We set the limit to half of max_period because this matches the limit
imposed in __hw_perf_event_init(). This causes a doubling of the interrupt
rate for large threshold values, however even with a very fast counter
ticking at 4GHz the interrupt rate would only be ~1Hz.

a system call will be aborted quickly without doing succeeding syscall
tracing if seccomp rules want to deny that system call.
On compat task, syscall numbers for system calls allowed in seccomp mode 1
are different from those on normal tasks, and so _NR_seccomp_xxx_32's need

If tracer modifies a syscall number to -1, this traced system call should
be skipped with a return value specified in x0.
This patch implements this semantics.
Please note:
* syscall entry tracing and syscall exit tracing (ftrace tracepoint and
audit) are always executed, if enabled, even when skipping a system call
(that is, -1).
In this way, we can avoid a potential bug where audit_syscall_entry()
might be called without audit_syscall_exit() at the previous system call
being called, that would cause OOPs in audit_syscall_entry().

This regeset is intended to be used to get and set a system call number
while tracing.
There was some discussion about possible approaches to do so:
(1) modify x8 register with ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGSET) indirectly,
and update regs->syscallno later on in syscall_trace_enter(), or
(2) define a dedicated regset for this purpose as on s390, or
(3) support ptrace(PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL) as on arch/arm
Thinking of the fact that user_pt_regs doesn't expose 'syscallno' to
tracer as well as that secure_computing() expects a changed syscall number,
especially case of -1, to be visible before this function returns in
syscall_trace_enter(), (1) doesn't work well.
We will take (2) since it looks much cleaner.

The head.text section is intended to be run at early bootup
before any of the regular kernel mappings have been setup.
Parts of head.text may be freed back into the buddy allocator
due to TEXT_OFFSET so for security requirements this memory
must not be executable. The suspend/resume/hotplug code path
requires some of these head.S functions to run however which
means they need to be executable. Support these conflicting
requirements by moving the few head.text functions that need
to be executable to the text section which has the appropriate
page table permissions.

In the arm64 arch_static_branch implementation we place an A64 NOP into
the instruction stream and log relevant details to a jump_entry in a
__jump_table section. Later this may be replaced with an immediate
branch without link to the code for the unlikely case.
At init time, the core calls arch_jump_label_transform_static to
initialise the NOPs. On x86 this involves inserting the optimal NOP for
a given microarchitecture, but on arm64 we only use the architectural
NOP, and hence replace each NOP with the exact same NOP. This is
somewhat pointless.
Additionally, at module load time we don't call jump_label_apply_nops to
patch the optimal NOPs in, unlike other architectures, but get away with
this because we only use the architectural NOP anyway. A later notifier
will patch NOPs with branches as required.
Similarly to x86 commit 11570da1c5b1dee1 (x86/jump-label: Do not bother
updating NOPs if they are correct), we can avoid patching NOPs with
identical NOPs. Given that we only use a single NOP encoding, this means
we can NOP-out the body of arch_jump_label_transform_static entirely. As
the default __weak arch_jump_label_transform_static implementation
performs a patch, we must use an empty function to achieve this.

The fixmap API was originally added for arm64 for
early_ioremap purposes. It can be used for other purposes too
so move the initialization from ioremap to somewhere more

It seems that Cortex-A53 r0p4 added support for AIFSR and ADFSR, and
ID_MMFR0.AuxReg has been updated accordingly to report this fact. As
Cortex-A53 could be paired with CPUs which do not implement these
registers (e.g. all current revisions of Cortex-A57), this may trigger a
sanity check failure at boot.
The AuxReg value describes the availability of the ACTLR, AIFSR, and
ADFSR registers, which are only of use to 32-bit guest OSs, and have
IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED contents. Given the nature of these registers it
is likely that KVM will need to trap accesses regardless of whether the
CPUs are heterogeneous.
This patch masks out the ID_MMFR0.AuxReg value from the sanity checks,
preventing spurious warnings at boot time.

The only requirement the scheduler has on cluster IDs is that they must
be unique. When enumerating the topology based on MPIDR information the
kernel currently generates cluster IDs by using the first level of
affinity above the core ID (either level one or two depending on if the
core has multiple threads) however the ARMv8 architecture allows for up
to three levels of affinity. This means that an ARMv8 system may
contain cores which have MPIDRs identical other than affinity level
three which with current code will cause us to report multiple cores
with the same identification to the scheduler in violation of its
uniqueness requirement.
Ensure that we do not violate the scheduler requirements on systems that
uses all the affinity levels by incorporating both affinity levels two
and three into the cluser ID when the cores are not threaded.
While no currently known hardware uses multi-level clusters it is better
to program defensively, this will help ease bringup of systems that have
them and will ensure that things like distribution install media do not
need to be respun to replace kernels in order to deploy such systems.
In the worst case the system will work but perform suboptimally until a
kernel modified to handle the new topology better is installed, in the
best case this will be an adequate description of such topologies for
the scheduler to perform well.

After each CPU has been started, we iterate through a list of
CPU features or bugs to detect CPUs which need (or could benefit
from) kernel code patches.
For each feature/bug there is a function which checks if that
particular CPU is affected. We will later provide some more generic
functions for common things like testing for certain MIDR ranges.
We do this for every CPU to cover big.LITTLE systems properly as

If a certain feature/bug has been detected, the capability bit will

Typically, providing support for legacy instructions requires
emulating the behaviour of instructions whose encodings have become
undefined. If the instructions haven't been removed from the
architecture, there maybe an option in the implementation to turn
on/off the support for these instructions.
Create common infrastructure to support legacy instruction
emulation. In addition to emulation, also provide an option to support
hardware execution when supported. The default execution mode (one of
undef, emulate, hw exeuction) is dependent on the state of the
instruction (deprecated or obsolete) in the architecture and
can specified at the time of registering the instruction handlers. The
runtime state of the emulation can be controlled by writing to
individual nodes in sysctl. The expected default behaviour is
documented as part of this patch.

The push/pop instructions can be suboptimal when saving/restoring large
amounts of data to/from the stack, for example on entry/exit from the
kernel. This is because:
(1) They act on descending addresses (i.e. the newly decremented sp),
which may defeat some hardware prefetchers
(2) They introduce an implicit dependency between each instruction, as
the sp has to be updated in order to resolve the address of the
next access.
This patch removes the push/pop instructions from our kernel entry/exit
macros in favour of ldp/stp plus offset.

Commit d7a49086f263164a (arm64: cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs)
attempted to clean up /proc/cpuinfo, but due to concerns regarding
further changes was reverted in commit 5e39977edf6500fd (Revert "arm64:
cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs").
There are two major issues with the arm64 /proc/cpuinfo format
currently:
* The "Features" line describes (only) the 64-bit hwcaps, which is
problematic for some 32-bit applications which attempt to parse it. As
the same names are used for analogous ISA features (e.g. aes) despite
these generally being architecturally unrelated, it is not possible to
simply append the 64-bit and 32-bit hwcaps in a manner that might not
be misleading to some applications.
Various potential solutions have appeared in vendor kernels. Typically
the format of the Features line varies depending on whether the task
is 32-bit.
* Information is only printed regarding a single CPU. This does not
match the ARM format, and does not provide sufficient information in
big.LITTLE systems where CPUs are heterogeneous. The CPU information
printed is queried from the current CPU's registers, which is racy
w.r.t. cross-cpu migration.
This patch attempts to solve these issues. The following changes are
made:
* When a task with a LINUX32 personality attempts to read /proc/cpuinfo,
the "Features" line contains the decoded 32-bit hwcaps, as with the
arm port. Otherwise, the decoded 64-bit hwcaps are shown. This aligns
with the behaviour of COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE and COMPAT_ELF_PLATFORM. In
the absense of compat support, the Features line is empty.
The set of hwcaps injected into a task's auxval are unaffected.
* Properties are printed per-cpu, as with the ARM port. The per-cpu
information is queried from pre-recorded cpu information (as used by
the sanity checks).
* As with the previous attempt at fixing up /proc/cpuinfo, the hardware
field is removed. The only users so far are 32-bit applications tied
to particular boards, so no portable applications should be affected,
and this should prevent future tying to particular boards.
The following differences remain:
* No model_name is printed, as this cannot be queried from the hardware
and cannot be provided in a stable fashion. Use of the CPU
{implementor,variant,part,revision} fields is sufficient to identify a
CPU and is portable across arm and arm64.
* The following system-wide properties are not provided, as they are not
possible to provide generally. Programs relying on these are already
tied to particular (32-bit only) boards:
- Hardware
- Revision
- Serial

When experimenting with patches to provide kprobes support for aarch64
smp machines would hang when inserting breakpoints into kernel code.
The hangs were caused by a race condition in the code called by
aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync(). The first processor in the
aarch64_insn_patch_text_cb() function would patch the code while other
processors were still entering the function and incrementing the
cpu_count field. This resulted in some processors never observing the
exit condition and exiting the function. Thus, processors in the
system hung.
The first processor to enter the patching function performs the
patching and signals that the patching is complete with an increment
of the cpu_count field. When all the processors have incremented the
cpu_count field the cpu_count will be num_cpus_online()+1 and they
will return to normal execution.

While efi-entry.S mentions that efi_entry() will have relocated the
kernel image, it actually means that efi_entry will have placed a copy
of the kernel in the appropriate location, and until this is branched to
at the end of efi_entry.S, all instructions are executed from the
original image.
Thus while the flush in efi_entry.S does ensure that the copy is visible
to noncacheable accesses, it does not guarantee that this is true for
the image instructions are being executed from. This could have
disasterous effects when the MMU and caches are disabled if the image
has not been naturally evicted to the PoC.
Additionally, due to a missing dsb following the ic ialluis, the new
kernel image is not necessarily clean in the I-cache when it is branched
to, with similar potentially disasterous effects.
This patch adds additional flushing to ensure that the currently
executing stub text is flushed to the PoC and is thus visible to
noncacheable accesses. As it is placed after the instructions cache
maintenance for the new image and __flush_dcache_area already contains a
dsb, we do not need to add a separate barrier to ensure completion of
the icache maintenance.
Comments are updated to clarify the situation with regard to the two
images and the maintenance required for both.

In certain debugging scenarios it's useful to know the physical ID (i.e.
the MPIDR_EL1.Aff* fields) of the boot CPU, but we don't currently log
this as we do for 32-bit ARM kernels.
This patch makes the kernel log the physical ID of the boot CPU early in
the boot process. The CPU logical map initialisation is folded in to
smp_setup_processor_id (which contrary to its name is also called by UP
kernels). This is called before setup_arch, so should not adversely
affect existing cpu_logical_map users.

This installs the machine name as recorded by setup_machine_fdt()
as dump stack arch description. This results in the string to be
included in call stack dumps, as is shown here:
...
Bad mode in Synchronous Abort handler detected, code 0x84000005
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.18.0-rc2+ #548
> Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)
task: ffffffc07c870000 ti: ffffffc07c878000 task.ti: ffffffc07c878000
PC is at 0x0
...
Note that systems that support DMI/SMBIOS may override this later.

Optimize memcpy_{from,to}io() and memset_io() by transferring in 64 bit
as much as possible with minimized barrier usage. This simplest
optimization brings faster throughput compare to current byte-by-byte read
and write with barrier in the loop. Code's skeleton is taken from the
powerpc.

Instead of reserving the memory regions based on which types we know
need to be reserved, consider only regions of the following types as
free for general use by the OS:
EFI_LOADER_CODE
EFI_LOADER_DATA
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA
EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY
Note that this also fixes a problem with the original code, which would
misidentify a EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA region as not reserved if it
does not have the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute set. However, it is
perfectly legal for the firmware not to request a virtual mapping for
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions that contain configuration tables, in
which case the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute would not be set.
