      arm64: kill off the libgcc dependency · d67703a8
      Kevin Hao authored
      The arm64 kernel builds fine without the libgcc. Actually it should not
      be used at all in the kernel. The following are the reasons indicated
      by Russell King:
      
        Although libgcc is part of the compiler, libgcc is built with the
        expectation that it will be running in userland - it expects to link
        to a libc.  That's why you can't build libgcc without having the glibc
        headers around.
      
        [...]
      
        Meanwhile, having the kernel build the compiler support functions that
        it needs ensures that (a) we know what compiler support functions are
        being used, (b) we know the implementation of those support functions
        are sane for use in the kernel, (c) we can build them with appropriate
        compiler flags for best performance, and (d) we remove an unnecessary
        dependency on the build toolchain.

      Mark Rutland authored
      To aid the developer when something triggers an unexpected exception,
      decode the ESR_ELx.EC field when logging an ESR_ELx value using the
      newly introduced esr_get_class_string. This doesn't tell the developer
      the specifics of the exception encoded in the remaining IL and ISS bits,
      but it can be helpful to distinguish between exception classes (e.g.
      SError and a data abort) without having to manually decode the field,
      which can be tiresome.

      arm64: kvm: remove ESR_EL2_* macros · 6e53031e
      Mark Rutland authored
      Now that all users have been moved over to the common ESR_ELx_* macros,
      remove the redundant ESR_EL2 macros. To maintain compatibility with the
      fault handling code shared with 32-bit, the FSC_{FAULT,PERM} macros are
      retained as aliases for the common ESR_ELx_FSC_{FAULT,PERM} definitions.
      
      There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

      arm64: introduce common ESR_ELx_* definitions · cf99a48d
      Mark Rutland authored
      Currently we have separate ESR_EL{1,2}_* macros, despite the fact that
      the encodings are common. While encodings are architected to refer to
      the current EL or a lower EL, the macros refer to particular ELs (e.g.
      ESR_ELx_EC_DABT_EL0). Having these duplicate definitions is redundant,
      and their naming is misleading.
      
      This patch introduces common ESR_ELx_* macros that can be used in all
      cases, in preparation for later patches which will migrate existing
      users over. Some additional cleanups are made in the process:
      
      * Suffixes for particular exception levelts (e.g. _EL0, _EL1) are
        replaced with more general _LOW and _CUR suffixes, matching the
        architectural intent.
      
      * ESR_ELx_EC_WFx, rather than ESR_ELx_EC_WFI is introduced, as this
        EC encoding covers traps from both WFE and WFI. Similarly,
        ESR_ELx_WFx_ISS_WFE rather than ESR_ELx_EC_WFI_ISS_WFE is introduced.
      
      * Multi-bit fields are given consistently named _SHIFT and _MASK macros.
      
      * UL() is used for compatiblity with assembly files.
      
      * Comments are added for currently unallocated ESR_ELx.EC encodings.
      
      For fields other than ESR_ELx.EC, macros are only implemented for fields
      for which there is already an ESR_EL{1,2}_* macro.

      arm64: kernel: add support for cpu cache information · 5d425c18
      Sudeep Holla authored
      This patch adds support for cacheinfo on ARM64.
      
      On ARMv8, the cache hierarchy can be identified through Cache Level ID
      (CLIDR) register while the cache geometry is provided by Cache Size ID
      (CCSIDR) register.
      
      Since the architecture doesn't provide any way of detecting the cpus
      sharing particular cache, device tree is used for the same purpose.

      arm64: remove broken cachepolicy code · 26a945ca
      Mark Rutland authored
      The cachepolicy kernel parameter was intended to aid in the debugging of
      coherency issues, but it is fundamentally broken for several reasons:
      
       * On SMP platforms, only the boot CPU's tcr_el1 is altered. Secondary
         CPUs may therefore use differ w.r.t. the attributes they apply to
         MT_NORMAL memory, resulting in a loss of coherency.
      
       * The cache maintenance using flush_dcache_all (based on Set/Way
         operations) is not guaranteed to empty a given CPU's cache hierarchy
         while said CPU has caches enabled, it cannot empty the caches of
         other coherent PEs, nor is it guaranteed to flush data to the PoC
         even when caches are disabled.
      
       * The TLBs are not invalidated around the modification of MAIR_EL1 and
         TCR_EL1, as required by the architecture (as both are permitted to be
         cached in a TLB). This may result in CPUs using attributes other than
         those expected for some memory accesses, resulting in a loss of
         coherency.
      
       * Exclusive accesses are not architecturally guaranteed to function as
         expected on memory marked as Write-Through or Non-Cacheable. Thus
         changing the attributes of MT_NORMAL away from the (architecurally
         safe) defaults may cause uses of these instructions (e.g. atomics) to
         behave erratically.
      
      Given this, the cachepolicy code cannot be used for debugging purposes
      as it alone is likely to cause coherency issues. This patch removes the
      broken cachepolicy code.

      UEFI updates for arm64
      
      This series consists of a reimplementation of the virtual remapping of
      UEFI Runtime Services in a way that is stable across kexec, including
      the required preparatory refactoring and other work to set the stage,
      and some cleaning up afterwards to remove boot services memory and
      identitity map handling that has now become redundant.
