The vec-syscfg selftest verifies that setting the VL of the currently tested vector type does not disrupt the VL of the other vector type. To do this it records the current vector length for each type but neglects to guard this with a check for that vector type actually being supported. Add one, using a helper function which we also update all the other instances of this pattern.

You do not need to use $(shell ...) in recipe lines, as they are already executed in a shell. An alternative solution is $$(...), which is an escaped sequence of the shell's command substituion, $(...). For this case, there is a reason to avoid $(shell ...). Kbuild detects command changes by using the if_changed macro, which compares the previous command recorded in .*.cmd with the current command from Makefile. If they differ, Kbuild re-runs the build rule. To diff the commands, Make must expand $(shell ...) first. It means that hexdump is executed every time, even when nothing needs rebuilding. If Kbuild determines that vmlinux.bin needs rebuilding, hexdump will be executed again to evaluate the 'cmd' macro, one more time to really build vmlinux.bin, and finally yet again to record the expanded command into .*.cmd. Replace $(shell ...) with $$(...) to avoid multiple, unnecessay shell evaluations. Since Make is agnostic about the shell code, $(...), the if_changed macro compares the string "$(hexdump -s16 -n4 ...)" verbatim, so hexdump is run only for building vmlinux.bin. For the same reason, $(shell ...) in EFI_ZBOOT_OBJCOPY_FLAGS should be eliminated. While I was here, I replaced '&&' with ';' because a command for if_changed is executed with 'set -e'.

If you select CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT, we will generate vmlinuz.efi, and then when we go to install the kernel we'll install the vmlinux instead because install.sh only recognizes Image.gz as wanting the compressed install image. With CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT we don't get the proper kernel installed, which means it doesn't boot, which makes for a very confused and subsequently angry kernel developer. Fix this by properly installing our compressed kernel if we've enabled CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT.

Currently the detection+enablement of boot cpucaps is separate from the patching of boot cpucap alternatives, which means there's a period where cpus_have_cap($CAP) and alternative_has_cap($CAP) may be mismatched. It would be preferable to manage the boot cpucaps in the same way as the system cpucaps, both for clarity and to minimize the risk of accidental usage of code relying upon an alternative which has not yet been patched. This patch aligns the handling of boot cpucaps with the handling of system cpucaps: * The existing setup_boot_cpu_capabilities() function is moved to be closer to the setup_system_capabilities() and setup_system_features() functions so that they're more clearly related and more likely to be updated together in future. * The patching of boot cpucap alternatives is moved into setup_boot_cpu_capabilities(), immediately after boot cpucaps are detected and enabled. * A new setup_boot_cpu_features() function is added to mirror setup_system_features(); this handles initialization of cpucap data structures and calls setup_boot_cpu_capabilities(). This makes init_cpu_features() a closer mirror to update_cpu_features(), and makes smp_prepare_boot_cpu() a closer mirror to smp_cpus_done(). Importantly, while these changes alter the structure of the code, they retain the existing order of calls to: init_cpu_features(); // prefix initializing feature regs init_cpucap_indirect_list(); detect_system_supports_pseudo_nmi(); update_cpu_capabilities(SCOPE_BOOT_CPU | SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU); enable_cpu_capabilities(SCOPE_BOOT_CPU); apply_boot_alternatives(); ... and hence there should be no functional change as a result of this patch; this is purely a structural cleanup.

Recent changes to remove cpus_have_const_cap() introduced new users of cpus_have_cap() in the period between detecting system cpucaps and patching alternatives. It would be preferable to defer these until after the relevant cpucaps have been patched so that these can use the usual feature check helper functions, which is clearer and has less risk of accidental usage of code relying upon an alternative which has not yet been patched. This patch reworks the system-wide cpucap detection and patching to minimize this transient period: * The detection, enablement, and patching of system cpucaps is moved into a new setup_system_capabilities() function so that these can be grouped together more clearly, with no other functions called in the period between detection and patching. This is called from setup_system_features() before the subsequent checks that depend on the cpucaps. The logging of TTBR0 PAN and cpucaps with a mask is also moved here to keep these as close as possible to update_cpu_capabilities(). At the same time, comments are corrected and improved to make the intent clearer. * As hyp_mode_check() only tests system register values (not hwcaps) and must be called prior to patching, the call to hyp_mode_check() is moved before the call to setup_system_features(). * In setup_system_features(), the use of system_uses_ttbr0_pan() is restored, now that this occurs after alternatives are patched. This is a partial revert of commit: 53d62e99 ("arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for ARM64_HAS_PAN") * In sve_setup() and sme_setup(), the use of system_supports_sve() and system_supports_sme() respectively are restored, now that these occur after alternatives are patched.

This commit adds the PCIe Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) driver support for T-Head Yitian SoC chip. Yitian is based on the Synopsys PCI Express Core controller IP which provides statistics feature. The PMU is a PCIe configuration space register block provided by each PCIe Root Port in a Vendor-Specific Extended Capability named RAS D.E.S (Debug, Error injection, and Statistics). To facilitate collection of statistics the controller provides the following two features for each Root Port: - one 64-bit counter for Time Based Analysis (RX/TX data throughput and time spent in each low-power LTSSM state) and - one 32-bit counter for Event Counting (error and non-error events for a specified lane) Note: There is no interrupt for counter overflow. This driver adds PMU devices for each PCIe Root Port. And the PMU device is named based the BDF of Root Port. For example, 30:03.0 PCI bridge: Device 1ded:8000 (rev 01) the PMU device name for this Root Port is dwc_rootport_3018. Example usage of counting PCIe RX TLP data payload (Units of bytes):: $# perf stat -a -e dwc_rootport_3018/Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload/ average RX bandwidth can be calculated like this: PCIe TX Bandwidth = Rx_PCIe_TLP_Data_Payload / Measure_Time_Window Signed-off-by: Shuai Xue <xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com> Reviewed-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> Reviewed-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@hisilicon.com> Reviewed-and-tested-by: Ilkka Koskinen <ilkka@os.amperecomputing.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231208025652.87192-5-xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com [will: Fix sparse error due to use of uninitialised 'vsec' symbol in dwc_pcie_match_des_cap()] Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>

Now that kernel mode FPSIMD state is context switched along with other task state, we can enable the existing logic that keeps track of which task's FPSIMD state the CPU is holding in its registers. If it is the context of the task that we are switching to, we can elide the reload of the FPSIMD state from memory. Note that we also need to check whether the FPSIMD state on this CPU is the most recent: if a task gets migrated away and back again, the state in memory may be more recent than the state in the CPU. So add another CPU id field to task_struct to keep track of this. (We could reuse the existing CPU id field used for user mode context, but that might result in user state to be discarded unnecessarily, given that two distinct CPUs could be holding the most recent user mode state and the most recent kernel mode state) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231208113218.3001940-9-ardb@google.comSigned-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>

Currently, the FPSIMD register file is not preserved and restored along with the general registers on exception entry/exit or context switch. For this reason, we disable preemption when enabling FPSIMD for kernel mode use in task context, and suspend the processing of softirqs so that there are no concurrent uses in the kernel. (Kernel mode FPSIMD may not be used at all in other contexts). Disabling preemption while doing CPU intensive work on inputs of potentially unbounded size is bad for real-time performance, which is why we try and ensure that SIMD crypto code does not operate on more than ~4k at a time, which is an arbitrary limit and requires assembler code to implement efficiently. We can avoid the need for disabling preemption if we can ensure that any in-kernel users of the NEON will not lose the FPSIMD register state across a context switch. And given that disabling softirqs implicitly disables preemption as well, we will also have to ensure that a softirq that runs code using FPSIMD can safely interrupt an in-kernel user. So introduce a thread_info flag TIF_KERNEL_FPSTATE, and modify the context switch hook for FPSIMD to preserve and restore the kernel mode FPSIMD to/from struct thread_struct when it is set. This avoids any scheduling blackouts due to prolonged use of FPSIMD in kernel mode, without the need for manual yielding. In order to support softirq processing while FPSIMD is being used in kernel task context, use the same flag to decide whether the kernel mode FPSIMD state needs to be preserved and restored before allowing FPSIMD to be used in softirq context.

Kernel mode NEON will preserve the user mode FPSIMD state by saving it into the task struct before clobbering the registers. In order to avoid the need for preserving kernel mode state too, we disallow nested use of kernel mode NEON, i..e, use in softirq context while the interrupted task context was using kernel mode NEON too. Originally, this policy was implemented using a per-CPU flag which was exposed via may_use_simd(), requiring the users of the kernel mode NEON to deal with the possibility that it might return false, and having NEON and non-NEON code paths. This policy was changed by commit 13150149 ("arm64: fpsimd: run kernel mode NEON with softirqs disabled"), and now, softirq processing is disabled entirely instead, and so may_use_simd() can never fail when called from task or softirq context. This means we can drop the fpsimd_context_busy flag entirely, and instead, ensure that we disable softirq processing in places where we formerly relied on the flag for preventing races in the FPSIMD preserve routines.

The only way parameq() and parameqn() deviate from the ordinary string and memory routines is that they ignore the difference between dashes and underscores. Since we copy each command line argument into a buffer before passing it to parameq() and parameqn() numerous times, let's just convert all dashes to underscores just once, and update the alias array accordingly. This also helps reduce the dependency on kernel APIs that are no longer available once we move this code into the early mini C runtime.

The ID reg override handling code uses a rather elaborate data structure that relies on statically initialized absolute address values in pointer fields. This means that this code cannot run until relocation fixups have been applied, and this is unfortunate, because it means we cannot discover overrides for KASLR or LVA/LPA without creating the kernel mapping and performing the relocations first. This can be solved by switching to place-relative relocations, which can be applied by the linker at build time. This means some additional arithmetic is required when dereferencing these pointers, as we can no longer dereference the pointer members directly. So let's implement this for idreg-override.c in a preliminary way, i.e., convert all the references in code to use a special accessor that produces the correct absolute value at runtime.

This means that the 'KASLR' case described in the header that defines the size of the statically allocated page tables could take effect even when CONFIG_RANDMIZE_BASE=n. So check for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE instead.

In subsequent patches, mark portions of the early C code will be marked as __init. Unfortunarely, __init implies __latent_entropy, and this would result in the early C code being instrumented in an unsafe manner. Disable the latent entropy plugin for the early C code.

FEAT_PMUv3_TH (Armv8.8) permits a PMU counter to increment only on events whose count meets a specified threshold condition. For example if PMEVTYPERn.TC (Threshold Control) is set to 0b101 (Greater than or equal, count), and the threshold is set to 2, then the PMU counter will now only increment by 1 when an event would have previously incremented the PMU counter by 2 or more on a single processor cycle. Three new Perf event config fields, 'threshold', 'threshold_compare' and 'threshold_count' have been added to control the feature. threshold_compare maps to the upper two bits of PMEVTYPERn.TC and threshold_count maps to the first bit of TC. These separate attributes have been picked rather than enumerating all the possible combinations of the TC field as in the Arm ARM. The attributes would be used on a Perf command line like this: $ perf stat -e stall_slot/threshold=2,threshold_compare=2/ A new capability for reading out the maximum supported threshold value has also been added: $ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/armv8_pmuv3/caps/threshold_max 0x000000ff If a threshold higher than threshold_max is provided, then an error is generated. If FEAT_PMUv3_TH isn't implemented or a 32 bit kernel is running, then threshold_max reads zero, and attempting to set a threshold value will also result in an error. The threshold is per PMU counter, and there are potentially different threshold_max values per PMU type on heterogeneous systems. Bits higher than 32 now need to be written into PMEVTYPER, so armv8pmu_write_evtype() has to be updated to take an unsigned long value rather than u32 which gives the correct behavior on both aarch32 and 64.
