59ccc0d41b arm64: cachetype: report weakest cache policy
In big.LITTLE systems, the I-cache policy may differ across CPUs, and
thus we must always meet the most stringent maintenance requirements of
any I-cache in the system when performing maintenance to ensure
correctness. Unfortunately this requirement is not met as we always look
at the current CPU's cache type register to determine the maintenance
requirements.

This patch causes the I-cache policy of all CPUs to be taken into
account for icache_is_aliasing and icache_is_aivivt. If any I-cache in
the system is aliasing or AIVIVT, the respective function will return
true. At boot each CPU may set flags to identify that at least one
I-cache in the system is aliasing and/or AIVIVT.

The now unused and potentially misleading icache_policy function is
removed.

df857416a1 arm64: cpuinfo: record cpu system register values
Several kernel subsystems need to know details about CPU system register
values, sometimes for CPUs other than that they are executing on. Rather
than hard-coding system register accesses and cross-calls for these
cases, this patch adds logic to record various system register values at
boot-time. This may be used for feature reporting, firmware bug
detection, etc.

Separate hooks are added for the boot and hotplug paths to enable
one-time intialisation and cold/warm boot value mismatch detection in
later patches.

89c4a306e7 arm64: add MIDR_EL1 field accessors
The MIDR_EL1 register is composed of a number of bitfields, and uses of
the fields has so far involved open-coding of the shifts and masks
required.

This patch adds shifts and masks for each of the MIDR_EL1 subfields, and
also provides accessors built atop of these. Existing uses within
cputype.h are updated to use these accessors.

The read_cpuid_part_number macro is modified to return the extracted
bitfield rather than returning the value in-place with all other fields
(including revision) masked out, to better match the other accessors.
As the value is only used in comparison with the *_CPU_PART_* macros
which are similarly updated, and these values are never exposed to
userspace, this change should not affect any functionality.

5959e25729 arm64: fpsimd: avoid restoring fpcr if the contents haven't changed
Writing to the FPCR is commonly implemented as a self-synchronising
operation in the CPU, so avoid writing to the register when the saved
value matches that in the hardware already.

bd00cd5f8c arm64: place initial page tables above the kernel
Currently we place swapper_pg_dir and idmap_pg_dir below the kernel
image, between PHYS_OFFSET and (PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET). However,
bootloaders may use portions of this memory below the kernel and we do
not parse the memory reservation list until after the MMU has been
enabled. As such we may clobber some memory a bootloader wishes to have
preserved.

To enable the use of all of this memory by bootloaders (when the
required memory reservations are communicated to the kernel) it is
necessary to move our initial page tables elsewhere. As we currently
have an effectively unbound requirement for memory at the end of the
kernel image for .bss, we can place the page tables here.

This patch moves the initial page table to the end of the kernel image,
after the BSS. As they do not consist of any initialised data they will
be stripped from the kernel Image as with the BSS. The BSS clearing
routine is updated to stop at __bss_stop rather than _end so as to not
clobber the page tables, and memory reservations made redundant by the
new organisation are removed.

__NR_compat_* definitions to asm/unistd.h and removes all the explicit

6c81fe7925 arm64: enable context tracking
Make calls to ct_user_enter when the kernel is exited
and ct_user_exit when the kernel is entered (in el0_da,
el0_ia, el0_svc, el0_irq and all of the "error" paths).

These macros expand to function calls which will only work
properly if el0_sync and related code has been rearranged
(in a previous patch of this series).

The calls to ct_user_exit are made after hw debugging has been
enabled (enable_dbg_and_irq).

The call to ct_user_enter is made at the beginning of the
kernel_exit macro.

This patch is based on earlier work by Kevin Hilman.
Save/restore optimizations were also done by Kevin.

4e6f708409 arm64: topology: add MPIDR-based detection
Create cpu topology based on MPIDR. When hardware sets MPIDR to sane
values, this method will always work. Therefore it should also work well
as the fallback method. [1]

When we have multiple processing elements in the system, we create
the cpu topology by mapping each affinity level (from lowest to highest)
to threads (if they exist), cores, and clusters.

974c8e450b arm64: fix el2_setup check of CurrentEL
The CurrentEL system register reports the Current Exception Level
of the CPU. It doesn't say anything about the stack handling, and
yet we compare it to PSR_MODE_EL2t and PSR_MODE_EL2h.

It works by chance because PSR_MODE_EL2t happens to match the right
bits, but that's otherwise a very bad idea. Just check for the EL
value instead.

34c65c43f1 arm64: uid16: fix __kernel_old_{gid,uid}_t definitions
Whilst native arm64 applications don't have the 16-bit UID/GID syscalls
wired up, compat tasks can still access them. The 16-bit wrappers for
these syscalls use __kernel_old_uid_t and __kernel_old_gid_t, which must
be 16-bit data types to maintain compatibility with the 16-bit UIDs used
by compat applications.

This patch defines 16-bit __kernel_old_{gid,uid}_t types for arm64
instead of using the 32-bit types provided by asm-generic.

ceb218359d arm64: mm: fix pmd_write CoW brokenness
Commit 9c7e535fcc ("arm64: mm: Route pmd thp functions through pte
equivalents") changed the pmd manipulator and accessor functions to
convert the target pmd to a pte, process it with the pte functions, then
convert it back. Along the way, we gained support for PTE_WRITE, however
this is completely ignored by set_pmd_at, and so we fail to set the
PMD_SECT_RDONLY for PMDs, resulting in all sorts of lovely failures (like
CoW not working).

Partially reverting the offending commit (by making use of
PMD_SECT_RDONLY explicitly for pmd_{write,wrprotect,mkwrite} functions)
leads to further issues because pmd_write can then return potentially
incorrect values for page table entries marked as RDONLY, leading to
BUG_ON(pmd_write(entry)) tripping under some THP workloads.

This patch fixes the issue by routing set_pmd_at through set_pte_at,
which correctly takes the PTE_WRITE flag into account. Given that
THP mappings are always anonymous, the additional cache-flushing code
in __sync_icache_dcache won't impose any significant overhead as the
flush will be skipped.

This patch allows system call entry or exit to be traced as ftrace events,
ie. sys_enter_*/sys_exit_*, if CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS is enabled.
Those events appear and can be controlled under

Please note that we can't trace compat system calls here because
AArch32 mode does not share the same syscall table with AArch64.
Just define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS in order to avoid unexpected
results (bogus syscalls reported or even hang-up).

bd7d38dbdf arm64: ftrace: Add dynamic ftrace support
This patch allows "dynamic ftrace" if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled.
Here we can turn on and off tracing dynamically per-function base.

On arm64, this is done by patching single branch instruction to _mcount()
inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at
kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when
enabled or branch to NOP when disabled.
Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of
'static' ftrace.

819e50e25d arm64: Add ftrace support
This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers,
such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER).

With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with
timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is
specified, call graph is generated.

The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted
at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's
entry as long as tracing is enabled.
In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's
exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link
register's value to intercept function's return path.

More details on architecture specific requirements are described in
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

eb631bb5bf arm64: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs
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 bf18525fd7
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.

PSCIv0.2 adds a new function called AFFINITY_INFO, which
can be used to query if a specified CPU has actually gone
offline. Calling this function via cpu_kill ensures that
a CPU has quiesced after a call to cpu_die. This helps
prevent the CPU from doing arbitrary bad things when data

in the window between a CPU announcing that it is dead
and said CPU leaving the kernel.

fd92d4a54a arm64: is_compat_task is defined both in asm/compat.h and linux/compat.h
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().

2a2830703a arm64: debug: avoid accessing mdscr_el1 on fault paths where possible
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).
