Change the arm64 linker script ENTRY() command to define _text as the kernel entry point. The arm64 boot protocol specifies that the kernel must be entered at the beginning of the kernel image. The existing ENTRY() command defined the symbol stext as the entry point, which emitted an incorrect entry point, but would not cause a runtime error because the existing entry code immediately jumps to stext.

Whilst our defconfig is certainly usable, there are a few extra features we can enable to make it considerably more useful, particularly if people are using it for testing: - KVM - SWAP - Hugepages - ARMv8 crypto This patch enables these options in our defconfig. Note that the ordering has changed slightly, since this is the result of a new savedefconfig make target.

If one process calls sys_reboot and that process then stops other CPUs while those CPUs are within a spin_lock() region we can potentially encounter a deadlock scenario like below. CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- spin_lock(my_lock) smp_send_stop() <send IPI> handle_IPI() disable_preemption/irqs while(1); <PREEMPT> spin_lock(my_lock) <--- Waits forever We shouldn't attempt to run any other tasks after we send a stop IPI to a CPU so disable preemption so that this task runs to completion. We use local_irq_disable() here for cross-arch consistency with x86.

This patch ports most of commit 19ab428f "ARM: 7759/1: decouple CPU offlining from reboot/shutdown" by Stephen Warren from arch/arm to arch/arm64. machine_shutdown() is a hook for kexec. Add a comment saying so, since it isn't obvious from the function name. Halt, power-off, and restart have different requirements re: stopping secondary CPUs than kexec has. The former simply require the secondary CPUs to be quiesced somehow, whereas kexec requires them to be completely non-operational, so that no matter where the kexec target images are written in RAM, they won't influence operation of the secondary CPUS,which could happen if the CPUs were still executing some kind of pin loop. To this end, modify machine_halt, power_off, and restart to call smp_send_stop() directly, rather than calling machine_shutdown(). In machine_shutdown(), replace the call to smp_send_stop() with a call to disable_nonboot_cpus(). This completely disables all but one CPU, thus satisfying the kexec requirements a couple paragraphs above.

Support for arch_irq_work_raise() was missing from arm64 (a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ). This patch is based on the arm32 patch ARM 7872/1. commit bf18525f Author: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Date: Tue Oct 29 20:32:56 2013 +0100 ARM: 7872/1: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again. Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only supported on SMP builds anyway.

As a legacy of the way 32 bit ARM did things the topology code uses a null topology map by default and then overwrites it by mapping cores with no information to a cluster by themselves later. In order to make it simpler to reset things as part of recovering from parse failures in firmware information directly set this configuration on init. A core will always be its own sibling so there should be no risk of confusion with firmware provided information.

This adds ARMv8 implementations of AES in ECB, CBC, CTR and XTS modes, both for ARMv8 with Crypto Extensions and for plain ARMv8 NEON. The Crypto Extensions version can only run on ARMv8 implementations that have support for these optional extensions. The plain NEON version is a table based yet time invariant implementation. All S-box substitutions are performed in parallel, leveraging the wide range of ARMv8's tbl/tbx instructions, and the huge NEON register file, which can comfortably hold the entire S-box and still have room to spare for doing the actual computations. The key expansion routines were borrowed from aes_generic. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Some kernel files may include both linux/compat.h and asm/compat.h directly or indirectly. Since both header files contain is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT, compiling them with !CONFIG_COMPAT will eventually fail. Such files include kernel/auditsc.c, kernel/seccomp.c and init/do_mountfs.c (do_mountfs.c may read asm/compat.h via asm/ftrace.h once ftrace is implemented). So this patch proactively 1) removes is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT from asm/compat.h 2) replaces asm/compat.h to linux/compat.h in kernel/*.c, but asm/compat.h is still necessary in ptrace.c and process.c because they use is_compat_thread().

Since mdscr_el1 is part of the debug register group, it is highly likely to be trapped by a hypervisor to prevent virtual machines from debugging (buggering?) each other. Unfortunately, this absolutely destroys our performance, since we access the register on many of our low-level fault handling paths to keep track of the various debug state machines. This patch removes our dependency on mdscr_el1 in the case that debugging is not being used. More specifically we: - Use TIF_SINGLESTEP to indicate that a task is stepping at EL0 and avoid disabling step in the MDSCR when we don't need to. MDSCR_EL1.SS handling is moved to kernel_entry, when trapping from userspace. - Ensure debug exceptions are re-enabled on *all* exception entry paths, even the debug exception handling path (where we re-enable exceptions after invoking the handler). Since we can now rely on MDSCR_EL1.SS being cleared by the entry code, exception handlers can usually enable debug immediately before enabling interrupts. - Remove all debug exception unmasking from ret_to_user and el1_preempt, since we will never get here with debug exceptions masked. This results in a slight change to kernel debug behaviour, where we now step into interrupt handlers and data aborts from EL1 when debugging the kernel, which is actually a useful thing to do. A side-effect of this is that it *does* potentially prevent stepping off {break,watch}points when there is a high-frequency interrupt source (e.g. a timer), so a debugger would need to use either breakpoints or manually disable interrupts to get around this issue. With this patch applied, guest performance is restored under KVM when debug register accesses are trapped (and we get a measurable performance increase on the host on Cortex-A57 too).

set_cpu_boot_mode_flag is used to identify which exception levels are encountered across the system by CPUs trying to enter the kernel. The basic algorithm is: if a CPU is booting at EL2, it will set a flag at an offset of #4 from __boot_cpu_mode, a cacheline-aligned variable. Otherwise, a flag is set at an offset of zero into the same cacheline. This enables us to check that all CPUs booted at the same exception level. This cacheline is written with the stage-1 MMU off (that is, via a strongly-ordered mapping) and will bypass any clean lines in the cache, leading to potential coherence problems when the variable is later checked via the normal, cacheable mapping of the kernel image. This patch reworks the broken flushing code so that we: (1) Use a DMB to order the strongly-ordered write of the cacheline against the subsequent cache-maintenance operation (by-VA operations only hazard against normal, cacheable accesses). (2) Use a single dc ivac instruction to invalidate any clean lines containing a stale copy of the line after it has been updated.

The tlb maintainence functions: __cpu_flush_user_tlb_range and __cpu_flush_kern_tlb_range do not take into consideration the page granule when looping through the address range, and repeatedly flush tlb entries for the same page when operating with 64K pages. This patch re-works the logic s.t. we instead advance the loop by 1 << (PAGE_SHIFT - 12), so avoid repeating ourselves. Also the routines have been converted from assembler to static inline functions to aid with legibility and potential compiler optimisations. The isb() has been removed from flush_tlb_kernel_range(.) as it is only needed when changing the execute permission of a mapping. If one needs to set an area of the kernel as execute/non-execute an isb() must be inserted after the call to flush_tlb_kernel_range.

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove the pgprot_default and prot_sect_default global variables and rely strictly on predefined values. The original goal was to be able to run SMP kernels on UP hardware by not setting the Shareability bit. However, it is unlikely to see UP ARMv8 hardware and even if we do, the Shareability bit is no longer assumed to disable cacheable accesses. A side effect is that the device mappings now have the Shareability attribute set. The hardware, however, should ignore it since Device accesses are always Outer Shareable. Following the removal of the two global variables, there is some PROT_* macro reshuffling and cleanup, including the __PAGE_* macros (replaced by PAGE_*).

The ARMv8 architecture allows execute-only user permissions by clearing the PTE_UXN and PTE_USER bits. The kernel, however, can still access such page, so execute-only page permission does not protect against read(2)/write(2) etc. accesses. Systems requiring such protection must implement/enable features like SECCOMP. This patch changes the arm64 __P100 and __S100 protection_map[] macros to the new __PAGE_EXECONLY attributes. A side effect is that pte_valid_user() no longer triggers for __PAGE_EXECONLY since PTE_USER isn't set. To work around this, the check is done on the PTE_NG bit via the pte_valid_ng() macro. VM_READ is also checked now for page faults. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
