Add support to scripts/sortextable for handling relocatable (PIE) executables, whose ELF type is ET_DYN, not ET_EXEC. Other than adding support for the new type, no changes are needed. Signed-off-by:

Before implementing KASLR for arm64 by building a self-relocating PIE executable, we have to ensure that values we use before the relocation routine is executed are not subject to dynamic relocation themselves. This applies not only to virtual addresses, but also to values that are supplied by the linker at build time and relocated using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations. So instead, use assemble time constants, or force the use of static relocations by folding the constants into the instructions. Reviewed-by:

Unfortunately, the current way of using the linker to emit build time constants into the Image header will no longer work once we switch to the use of PIE executables. The reason is that such constants are emitted into the binary using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations, which are resolved at runtime, not at build time, and the places targeted by those relocations will contain zeroes before that. So refactor the endian swapping linker script constant generation code so that it emits the upper and lower 32-bit words separately. Signed-off-by:

This adds support for emitting PLTs at module load time for relative branches that are out of range. This is a prerequisite for KASLR, which may place the kernel and the modules anywhere in the vmalloc area, making it more likely that branch target offsets exceed the maximum range of +/- 128 MB. In this version, I removed the distinction between relocations against .init executable sections and ordinary executable sections. The reason is that it is hardly worth the trouble, given that .init.text usually does not contain that many far branches, and this version now only reserves PLT entry space for jump and call relocations against undefined symbols (since symbols defined in the same module can be assumed to be within +/- 128 MB) For example, the mac80211.ko module (which is fairly sizable at ~400 KB) built with -mcmodel=large gives the following relocation counts: relocs branches unique !local .text 3925 3347 518 219 .init.text 11 8 7 1 .exit.text 4 4 4 1 .text.unlikely 81 67 36 17 ('unique' means branches to unique type/symbol/addend combos, of which !local is the subset referring to undefined symbols) IOW, we are only emitting a single PLT entry for the .init sections, and we are better off just adding it to the core PLT section instead.

Instead of reversing the header dependency between asm/bug.h and asm/debug-monitors.h, split off the brk instruction immediate value defines into a new header asm/brk-imm.h, and include it from both. This solves the circular dependency issue that prevents BUG() from being used in some header files, and keeps the definitions together. Signed-off-by:

Since PAGE_OFFSET is chosen such that it cuts the kernel VA space right in half, and since the size of the kernel VA space itself is always a power of 2, we can treat PAGE_OFFSET as a bitmask and replace the additions/subtractions with 'or' and 'and-not' operations. For the comparison against PAGE_OFFSET, a mov/cmp/branch sequence ends up getting replaced with a single tbz instruction. For the additions and subtractions, we save a mov instruction since the mask is folded into the instruction's immediate field. Signed-off-by:

This relaxes the kernel Image placement requirements, so that it may be placed at any 2 MB aligned offset in physical memory. This is accomplished by ignoring PHYS_OFFSET when installing memblocks, and accounting for the apparent virtual offset of the kernel Image. As a result, virtual address references below PAGE_OFFSET are correctly mapped onto physical references into the kernel Image regardless of where it sits in memory. Special care needs to be taken for dealing with memory limits passed via mem=, since the generic implementation clips memory top down, which may clip the kernel image itself if it is loaded high up in memory. To deal with this case, we simply add back the memory covering the kernel image, which may result in more memory to be retained than was passed as a mem= parameter. Since mem= should not be considered a production feature, a panic notifier handler is installed that dumps the memory limit at panic time if one was set. Signed-off-by:

Before deferring the assignment of memstart_addr in a subsequent patch, to the moment where all memory has been discovered and possibly clipped based on the size of the linear region and the presence of a mem= command line parameter, we need to ensure that memstart_addr is not used to perform __va translations before it is assigned. One such use is in the generic early DT discovery of the initrd location, which is recorded as a virtual address in the globals initrd_start and initrd_end. So wire up the generic support to declare the initrd addresses, and implement it without __va() translations, and perform the translation after memstart_addr has been assigned. Signed-off-by:

This moves the module area to right before the vmalloc area, and moves the kernel image to the base of the vmalloc area. This is an intermediate step towards implementing KASLR, which allows the kernel image to be located anywhere in the vmalloc area. Since other subsystems such as hibernate may still need to refer to the kernel text or data segments via their linears addresses, both are mapped in the linear region as well. The linear alias of the text region is mapped read-only/non-executable to prevent inadvertent modification or execution. Signed-off-by:

KVM on arm64 uses a fixed offset between the linear mapping at EL1 and the HYP mapping at EL2. Before we can move the kernel virtual mapping out of the linear mapping, we have to make sure that references to kernel symbols that are accessed via the HYP mapping are translated to their linear equivalent.

Since the early fixmap page tables are populated using pages that are part of the static footprint of the kernel, they are covered by the initial kernel mapping, and we can refer to them without using __va/__pa translations, which are tied to the linear mapping. Since the fixmap page tables are disjoint from the kernel mapping up to the top level pgd entry, we can refer to bm_pte[] directly, and there is no need to walk the page tables and perform __pa()/__va() translations at each step.

The page table accessors pte_offset(), pud_offset() and pmd_offset() rely on __va translations, so they can only be used after the linear mapping has been installed. For the early fixmap and kasan init routines, whose page tables are allocated statically in the kernel image, these functions will return bogus values. So implement pte_offset_kimg(), pmd_offset_kimg() and pud_offset_kimg(), which can be used instead before any page tables have been allocated dynamically. Reviewed-by:

This introduces the preprocessor symbol KIMAGE_VADDR which will serve as the symbolic virtual base of the kernel region, i.e., the kernel's virtual offset will be KIMAGE_VADDR + TEXT_OFFSET. For now, we define it as being equal to PAGE_OFFSET, but in the future, it will be moved below it once we move the kernel virtual mapping out of the linear mapping. Reviewed-by:

This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings.

Currently, using BUG_ON() in header files is cumbersome, due to the fact that asm/bug.h transitively includes a lot of other header files, resulting in the actual BUG_ON() invocation appearing before its definition in the preprocessor input. So let's reverse the #include dependency between asm/bug.h and asm/debug-monitors.h, by moving the definition of BUG_BRK_IMM from the latter to the former. Also fix up one user of asm/debug-monitors.h which relied on a transitive include. Signed-off-by:

By default, early_init_dt_add_memory_arch() ignores memory below the base of the kernel image since it won't be addressable via the linear mapping. However, this is not appropriate anymore once we decouple the kernel text mapping from the linear mapping, so archs may want to drop the low limit entirely. So allow the minimum to be overridden by setting MIN_MEMBLOCK_ADDR. Acked-by:

If a CPU supports both Privileged Access Never (PAN) and User Access Override (UAO), we don't need to disable/re-enable PAN round all copy_to_user() like calls. UAO alternatives cause these calls to use the 'unprivileged' load/store instructions, which are overridden to be the privileged kind when fs==KERNEL_DS. This patch changes the copy_to_user() calls to have their PAN toggling depend on a new composite 'feature' ARM64_ALT_PAN_NOT_UAO. If both features are detected, PAN will be enabled, but the copy_to_user() alternatives will not be applied. This means PAN will be enabled all the time for these functions. If only PAN is detected, the toggling will be enabled as normal. This will save the time taken to disable/re-enable PAN, and allow us to catch copy_to_user() accesses that occur with fs==KERNEL_DS. Futex and swp-emulation code continue to hang their PAN toggling code on ARM64_HAS_PAN. Signed-off-by:

CPU feature code uses the desc field as a test to find the end of the list, this means every entry must have a description. This generates noise for entries in the list that aren't really features, but combinations of them. e.g. > CPU features: detected feature: Privileged Access Never > CPU features: detected feature: PAN and not UAO These combination features are needed for corner cases with alternatives, where cpu features interact. Change all walkers of the arm64_features[] and arm64_hwcaps[] lists to test 'matches' not 'desc', and only print 'desc' if it is non-NULL. Signed-off-by:

'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in the normal way. This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr* instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory. This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the page tables, instead of testing addr<USER_DS, then using the kernel's read/write permissions. Signed-off-by: -

Although the arm64 vDSO is cleanly separated by code/data with the code being read-only in userspace mappings, the code page is still writable from the kernel. There have been exploits (such as http://itszn.com/blog/?p=21) that take advantage of this on x86 to go from a bad kernel write to full root. Prevent this specific exploit on arm64 by putting the vDSO code page in read-only memory as well.

We want to avoid lots of different copy_page implementations, settling for something that is "good enough" everywhere and hopefully easy to understand and maintain whilst we're at it. This patch reworks our copy_page implementation based on discussions with Cavium on the list and benchmarking on Cortex-A processors so that: - The loop is unrolled to copy 128 bytes per iteration - The reads are offset so that we read from the next 128-byte block in the same iteration that we store the previous block - Explicit prefetch instructions are removed for now, since they hurt performance on CPUs with hardware prefetching - The loop exit condition is calculated at the start of the loop Signed-off-by: -

Most CPUs have a hardware prefetcher which generally performs better without explicit prefetch instructions issued by software, however some CPUs (e.g. Cavium ThunderX) rely solely on explicit prefetch instructions. This patch adds an alternative pattern (ARM64_HAS_NO_HW_PREFETCH) to allow our library code to make use of explicit prefetch instructions during things like copy routines only when the CPU does not have the capability to perform the prefetching itself.

The SBBR and ACPI specifications allow ACPI based systems that do not implement PSCI (eg systems with no EL3) to boot through the ACPI parking protocol specification[1]. This patch implements the ACPI parking protocol CPU operations, and adds code that eases parsing the parking protocol data structures to the ARM64 SMP initializion carried out at the same time as cpus enumeration. To wake-up the CPUs from the parked state, this patch implements a wakeup IPI for ARM64 (ie arch_send_wakeup_ipi_mask()) that mirrors the ARM one, so that a specific IPI is sent for wake-up purpose in order to distinguish it from other IPI sources. Given the current ACPI MADT parsing API, the patch implements a glue layer that helps passing MADT GICC data structure from SMP initialization code to the parking protocol implementation somewhat overriding the CPU operations interfaces. This to avoid creating a completely trasparent DT/ACPI CPU operations layer that would require creating opaque structure handling for CPUs data (DT represents CPU through DT nodes, ACPI through static MADT table entries), which seems overkill given that ACPI on ARM64 mandates only two booting protocols (PSCI and parking protocol), so there is no need for further protocol additions.

At boot we may change the granularity of the tables mapping the kernel (by splitting or making sections). This may happen when we create the linear mapping (in __map_memblock), or at any point we try to apply fine-grained permissions to the kernel (e.g. fixup_executable, mark_rodata_ro, fixup_init). Changing the active page tables in this manner may result in multiple entries for the same address being allocated into TLBs, risking problems such as TLB conflict aborts or issues derived from the amalgamation of TLB entries. Generally, a break-before-make (BBM) approach is necessary to avoid conflicts, but we cannot do this for the kernel tables as it risks unmapping text or data being used to do so. Instead, we can create a new set of tables from scratch in the safety of the existing mappings, and subsequently migrate over to these using the new cpu_replace_ttbr1 helper, which avoids the two sets of tables being active simultaneously. To avoid issues when we later modify permissions of the page tables (e.g. in fixup_init), we must create the page tables at a granularity such that later modification does not result in splitting of tables. This patch applies this strategy, creating a new set of fine-grained page tables from scratch, and safely migrating to them. The existing fixmap and kasan shadow page tables are reused in the new fine-grained tables. Signed-off-by:
