9760270c36 arm64: sanity checks: ignore ID_MMFR0.AuxReg
It seems that Cortex-A53 r0p4 added support for AIFSR and ADFSR, and
ID_MMFR0.AuxReg has been updated accordingly to report this fact. As
Cortex-A53 could be paired with CPUs which do not implement these
registers (e.g. all current revisions of Cortex-A57), this may trigger a
sanity check failure at boot.

The AuxReg value describes the availability of the ACTLR, AIFSR, and
ADFSR registers, which are only of use to 32-bit guest OSs, and have
IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED contents. Given the nature of these registers it
is likely that KVM will need to trap accesses regardless of whether the
CPUs are heterogeneous.

This patch masks out the ID_MMFR0.AuxReg value from the sanity checks,
preventing spurious warnings at boot time.

1cefdaea61 arm64: topology: Fix handling of multi-level cluster MPIDR-based detection
The only requirement the scheduler has on cluster IDs is that they must
be unique.  When enumerating the topology based on MPIDR information the
kernel currently generates cluster IDs by using the first level of
affinity above the core ID (either level one or two depending on if the
core has multiple threads) however the ARMv8 architecture allows for up
to three levels of affinity.  This means that an ARMv8 system may
contain cores which have MPIDRs identical other than affinity level
three which with current code will cause us to report multiple cores
with the same identification to the scheduler in violation of its
uniqueness requirement.

Ensure that we do not violate the scheduler requirements on systems that
uses all the affinity levels by incorporating both affinity levels two
and three into the cluser ID when the cores are not threaded.

While no currently known hardware uses multi-level clusters it is better
to program defensively, this will help ease bringup of systems that have
them and will ensure that things like distribution install media do not
need to be respun to replace kernels in order to deploy such systems.
In the worst case the system will work but perform suboptimally until a
kernel modified to handle the new topology better is installed, in the
best case this will be an adequate description of such topologies for
the scheduler to perform well.

c0a01b84b1 arm64: protect alternatives workarounds with Kconfig options
Not all of the errata we have workarounds for apply necessarily to all
SoCs, so people compiling a kernel for one very specific SoC may not
need to patch the kernel.
Introduce a new submenu in the "Platform selection" menu to allow
people to turn off certain bugs if they are not affected. By default
all of them are enabled.
Normal users or distribution kernels shouldn't bother to deselect any
bugs here, since the alternatives framework will take care of
patching them in only if needed.

e116a37542 arm64: detect silicon revisions and set cap bits accordingly
After each CPU has been started, we iterate through a list of
CPU features or bugs to detect CPUs which need (or could benefit
from) kernel code patches.
For each feature/bug there is a function which checks if that
particular CPU is affected. We will later provide some more generic
functions for common things like testing for certain MIDR ranges.
We do this for every CPU to cover big.LITTLE systems properly as
well.
If a certain feature/bug has been detected, the capability bit will
be set, so that later the call to apply_alternatives() will trigger
the actual code patching.

7f73f7aef8 arm64: mm: report unhandled level-0 translation faults correctly
Translation faults that occur due to the input address being outside
of the address range mapped by the relevant base register are reported
as level 0 faults in ESR.DFSC.

If the faulting access cannot be resolved by the kernel (e.g. because
it is not mapped by a vma), then we report "input address range fault"
on the console. This was fine until we added support for 48-bit VAs,
which actually place PGDs at level 0 and can trigger faults for invalid
addresses that are within the range of the page tables.

This patch changes the string to report "level 0 translation fault",
which is far less confusing.

587064b610 arm64: Add framework for legacy instruction emulation
Typically, providing support for legacy instructions requires
emulating the behaviour of instructions whose encodings have become
undefined. If the instructions haven't been removed from the
architecture, there maybe an option in the implementation to turn
on/off the support for these instructions.

Create common infrastructure to support legacy instruction
emulation. In addition to emulation, also provide an option to support
hardware execution when supported. The default execution mode (one of
undef, emulate, hw exeuction) is dependent on the state of the
instruction (deprecated or obsolete) in the architecture and
can specified at the time of registering the instruction handlers. The
runtime state of the emulation can be controlled by writing to
individual nodes in sysctl. The expected default behaviour is
documented as part of this patch.

f97fc81079 arm64: percpu: Implement this_cpu operations
The generic this_cpu operations disable interrupts to ensure that the
requested operation is protected from pre-emption. For arm64, this is
overkill and can hurt throughput and latency.

This patch provides arm64 specific implementations for the this_cpu
operations. Rather than disable interrupts, we use the exclusive
monitor or atomic operations as appropriate.

The following operations are implemented: add, add_return, and, or,
read, write, xchg. We also wire up a cmpxchg implementation from
cmpxchg.h.

Testing was performed using the percpu_test module and hackbench on a
Juno board running 3.18-rc4.

15670ef1ea arm64: pgalloc: consistently use PGALLOC_GFP
We currently allocate different levels of page tables with a variety of
differing flags, and the PGALLOC_GFP flags, intended for use when
allocating any level of page table, are only used for ptes in
pte_alloc_one. On x86, PGALLOC_GFP is used for all page table
allocations.

Currently the major differences are:

* __GFP_NOTRACK -- Needed to ensure page tables are always accessible in
  the presence of kmemcheck to prevent recursive faults. Currently
  kmemcheck cannot be selected for arm64.

* __GFP_REPEAT -- Causes the allocator to try to reclaim pages and retry
  upon a failure to allocate.

* __GFP_ZERO -- Sometimes passed explicitly, sometimes zalloc variants
  are used.

While we've no encountered issues so far, it would be preferable to be
consistent. This patch ensures all levels of table are allocated in the
same manner, with PGALLOC_GFP.

d6c763afab arm64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize layout
Since commit 8a0a9bd4db ('random: make get_random_int() more
random'), get_random_int() returns a random value for each call,
so comment and hack introduced in mmap_rnd() as part of commit
1d18c47c73 ('arm64: MMU fault handling and page table management')
are incorrects.

Commit 1d18c47c73 seems to use the same hack introduced by
commit a5adc91a4b ('powerpc: Ensure random space between stack
and mmaps'), latter copied in commit 5a0efea09f ('sparc64: Sharpen
address space randomization calculations.').

But both architectures were cleaned up as part of commit
fa8cbaaf5a ('powerpc+sparc64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize
layout') as hack is no more needed since commit 8a0a9bd4db.

So the present patch removes the comment and the hack around
get_random_int() on AArch64's mmap_rnd().

fb7332a9fe mmu_gather: move minimal range calculations into generic code
On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages
, it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when
unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to
tlb_remove_tlb_entry.

arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields
of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which
does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating
invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range.

This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code
and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the
process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will
point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked
by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that
the end of the range has actually been set.

63648dd20f arm64: entry: use ldp/stp instead of push/pop when saving/restoring regs
The push/pop instructions can be suboptimal when saving/restoring large
amounts of data to/from the stack, for example on entry/exit from the
kernel. This is because:

  (1) They act on descending addresses (i.e. the newly decremented sp),
      which may defeat some hardware prefetchers

  (2) They introduce an implicit dependency between each instruction, as
      the sp has to be updated in order to resolve the address of the
      next access.

This patch removes the push/pop instructions from our kernel entry/exit
macros in favour of ldp/stp plus offset.

44b82b7700 arm64: Fix up /proc/cpuinfo
Commit d7a49086f2 (arm64: cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs)
attempted to clean up /proc/cpuinfo, but due to concerns regarding
further changes was reverted in commit 5e39977edf (Revert "arm64:
cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs").

There are two major issues with the arm64 /proc/cpuinfo format
currently:

* The "Features" line describes (only) the 64-bit hwcaps, which is
  problematic for some 32-bit applications which attempt to parse it. As
  the same names are used for analogous ISA features (e.g. aes) despite
  these generally being architecturally unrelated, it is not possible to
  simply append the 64-bit and 32-bit hwcaps in a manner that might not
  be misleading to some applications.

  Various potential solutions have appeared in vendor kernels. Typically
  the format of the Features line varies depending on whether the task
  is 32-bit.

* Information is only printed regarding a single CPU. This does not
  match the ARM format, and does not provide sufficient information in
  big.LITTLE systems where CPUs are heterogeneous. The CPU information
  printed is queried from the current CPU's registers, which is racy
  w.r.t. cross-cpu migration.

This patch attempts to solve these issues. The following changes are
made:

* When a task with a LINUX32 personality attempts to read /proc/cpuinfo,
  the "Features" line contains the decoded 32-bit hwcaps, as with the
  arm port. Otherwise, the decoded 64-bit hwcaps are shown. This aligns
  with the behaviour of COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE and COMPAT_ELF_PLATFORM. In
  the absense of compat support, the Features line is empty.

  The set of hwcaps injected into a task's auxval are unaffected.

* Properties are printed per-cpu, as with the ARM port. The per-cpu
  information is queried from pre-recorded cpu information (as used by
  the sanity checks).

* As with the previous attempt at fixing up /proc/cpuinfo, the hardware
  field is removed. The only users so far are 32-bit applications tied
  to particular boards, so no portable applications should be affected,
  and this should prevent future tying to particular boards.

The following differences remain:

* No model_name is printed, as this cannot be queried from the hardware
  and cannot be provided in a stable fashion. Use of the CPU
  {implementor,variant,part,revision} fields is sufficient to identify a
  CPU and is portable across arm and arm64.

* The following system-wide properties are not provided, as they are not
  possible to provide generally. Programs relying on these are already
  tied to particular (32-bit only) boards:
  - Hardware
  - Revision
  - Serial

No software has yet been identified for which these remaining
differences are problematic.

5284e1b4bc arm64: xchg: Implement cmpxchg_double
The arm64 architecture has the ability to exclusively load and store
a pair of registers from an address (ldxp/stxp). Also the SLUB can take
advantage of a cmpxchg_double implementation to avoid taking some
locks.

This patch provides an implementation of cmpxchg_double for 64-bit
pairs, and activates the logic required for the SLUB to use these
functions (HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE and HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE).

Also definitions of this_cpu_cmpxchg_8 and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double_8
are wired up to cmpxchg_local and cmpxchg_double_local (rather than the
stock implementations that perform non-atomic operations with
interrupts disabled) as they are used by the SLUB.

On a Juno platform running on only the A57s I get quite a noticeable
performance improvement with 5 runs of hackbench on v3.17:

         Baseline | With Patch
 -----------------+-----------
 Mean    119.2312 | 106.1782
 StdDev    0.4919 |   0.4494

70ddb63a88 arm64: optimize memcpy_{from,to}io() and memset_io()
Optimize memcpy_{from,to}io() and memset_io() by transferring in 64 bit
as much as possible with minimized barrier usage.  This simplest
optimization brings faster throughput compare to current byte-by-byte read
and write with barrier in the loop.  Code's skeleton is taken from the
powerpc.

61139eb040 arm64/efi: invert UEFI memory region reservation logic
Instead of reserving the memory regions based on which types we know
need to be reserved, consider only regions of the following types as
free for general use by the OS:

EFI_LOADER_CODE
EFI_LOADER_DATA
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE
EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA
EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY

Note that this also fixes a problem with the original code, which would
misidentify a EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA region as not reserved if it
does not have the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute set. However, it is
perfectly legal for the firmware not to request a virtual mapping for
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions that contain configuration tables, in
which case the EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME attribute would not be set.

same relative offset from a 4 KB boundary, or adrp/add and adrp/ldr

We need to declare this in the PE/COFF header, otherwise the PE/COFF

violates this rule.

95b395963f arm64/efi: efistub: jump to 'stext' directly, not through the header
After the EFI stub has done its business, it jumps into the kernel by
branching to offset #0 of the loaded Image, which is where it expects
to find the header containing a 'branch to stext' instruction.

However, the UEFI spec 2.1.1 states the following regarding PE/COFF
image loading:
"A UEFI image is loaded into memory through the LoadImage() Boot
Service. This service loads an image with a PE32+ format into memory.
This PE32+ loader is required to load all sections of the PE32+ image
into memory."

In other words, it is /not/ required to load parts of the image that are
not covered by a PE/COFF section, so it may not have loaded the header
at the expected offset, as it is not covered by any PE/COFF section.

So instead, jump to 'stext' directly, which is at the base of the
PE/COFF .text section, by supplying a symbol 'stext_offset' to
efi-entry.o which contains the relative offset of stext into the Image.
Also replace other open coded calculations of the same value with a
reference to 'stext_offset'

Commit 78b81f4666 ("ARM: dts: imx28-evk: Run I2C0 at 400kHz") caused issues
when doing the following sequence in loop:

- Boot the kernel
- Perform audio playback
- Reboot the system via 'reboot' command

In many times the audio card cannot be probed, which causes playback to fail.

After restoring to the original i2c0 frequency of 100kHz there is no such
problem anymore.

This reverts commit 78b81f4666.

 There are a few bad bugs where the guest can OOPS or crash the host.  We
 have also started looking at attack models for nested virtualization;
 bugs that usually result in the guest ring 0 crashing itself become
 more worrisome if you have nested virtualization, because the nested
 guest might bring down the non-nested guest as well.  For current
 uses of nested virtualization these do not really have a security
 impact, but you never know and bugs are bugs nevertheless.
 
 A lot of these bugs are in 3.17 too, resulting in a large number of
 stable@ Ccs.  I checked that all the patches apply there with no
