      arm64: mm: Introduce VA_BITS_MIN · 90ec95cd
      Steve Capper authored 
      In order to support 52-bit kernel addresses detectable at boot time, the
kernel needs to know the most conservative VA_BITS possible should it
need to fall back to this quantity due to lack of hardware support.

A new compile time constant VA_BITS_MIN is introduced in this patch and
it is employed in the KASAN end address, KASLR, and EFI stub.

For Arm, if 52-bit VA support is unavailable the fallback is to 48-bits.

In other words: VA_BITS_MIN = min (48, VA_BITS)

      arm64: dump: De-constify VA_START and KASAN_SHADOW_START · 99426e5e
      Steve Capper authored 
      The kernel page table dumper assumes that the placement of VA regions is
constant and determined at compile time. As we are about to introduce
variable VA logic, we need to be able to determine certain regions at
boot time.

Specifically the VA_START and KASAN_SHADOW_START will depend on whether
or not the system is booted with 52-bit kernel VAs.

This patch adds logic to the kernel page table dumper s.t. these regions
can be computed at boot time.

      arm64: kasan: Switch to using KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET · 6bd1d0be
      Steve Capper authored 
      KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is a constant that is supplied to gcc as a command
line argument and affects the codegen of the inline address sanetiser.

Essentially, for an example memory access:
    *ptr1 = val;
The compiler will insert logic similar to the below:
    shadowValue = *(ptr1 >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET)
    if (somethingWrong(shadowValue))
        flagAnError();

This code sequence is inserted into many places, thus
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is essentially baked into many places in the kernel
text.

If we want to run a single kernel binary with multiple address spaces,
then we need to do this with KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET fixed.

Thankfully, due to the way the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is used to provide
shadow addresses we know that the end of the shadow region is constant
w.r.t. VA space size:
    KASAN_SHADOW_END = ~0 >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET

This means that if we increase the size of the VA space, the start of
the KASAN region expands into lower addresses whilst the end of the
KASAN region is fixed.

Currently the arm64 code computes KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET at build time via
build scripts with the VA size used as a parameter. (There are build
time checks in the C code too to ensure that expected values are being
derived). It is sufficient, and indeed is a simplification, to remove
the build scripts (and build time checks) entirely and instead provide
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET values.

This patch removes the logic to compute the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET in the
arm64 Makefile, and instead we adopt the approach used by x86 to supply
offset values in kConfig. To help debug/develop future VA space changes,
the Makefile logic has been preserved in a script file in the arm64
Documentation folder.

      arm64: mm: Flip kernel VA space · 14c127c9
      Steve Capper authored 
      In order to allow for a KASAN shadow that changes size at boot time, one
must fix the KASAN_SHADOW_END for both 48 & 52-bit VAs and "grow" the
start address. Also, it is highly desirable to maintain the same
function addresses in the kernel .text between VA sizes. Both of these
requirements necessitate us to flip the kernel address space halves s.t.
the direct linear map occupies the lower addresses.

This patch puts the direct linear map in the lower addresses of the
kernel VA range and everything else in the higher ranges.

We need to adjust:
 *) KASAN shadow region placement logic,
 *) KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET computation logic,
 *) virt_to_phys, phys_to_virt checks,
 *) page table dumper.

These are all small changes, that need to take place atomically, so they
are bundled into this commit.

As part of the re-arrangement, a guard region of 2MB (to preserve
alignment for fixed map) is added after the vmemmap. Otherwise the
vmemmap could intersect with IS_ERR pointers.

      arm64: mm: Remove bit-masking optimisations for PAGE_OFFSET and VMEMMAP_START · 9cb1c5dd
      Steve Capper authored 
      Currently there are assumptions about the alignment of VMEMMAP_START
and PAGE_OFFSET that won't be valid after this series is applied.

These assumptions are in the form of bitwise operators being used
instead of addition and subtraction when calculating addresses.

This patch replaces these bitwise operators with addition/subtraction.
