39a67d49ba arm64: kprobes instruction simulation support
Kprobes needs simulation of instructions that cannot be stepped
from a different memory location, e.g.: those instructions
that uses PC-relative addressing. In simulation, the behaviour
of the instruction is implemented using a copy of pt_regs.

The following instruction categories are simulated:
 - All branching instructions(conditional, register, and immediate)
 - Literal access instructions(load-literal, adr/adrp)

Conditional execution is limited to branching instructions in
ARM v8. If conditions at PSTATE do not match the condition fields
of opcode, the instruction is effectively NOP.

Thanks to Will Cohen for assorted suggested changes.

2af3ec08b4 arm64: add conditional instruction simulation support
Cease using the arm32 arm_check_condition() function and replace it with
a local version for use in deprecated instruction support on arm64. Also
make the function table used by this available for future use by kprobes
and/or uprobes.

This function is derived from code written by Sandeepa Prabhu.

d59bee8872 arm64: Add more test functions to insn.c
Certain instructions are hard to execute correctly out-of-line (as in
kprobes).  Test functions are added to insn.[hc] to identify these.  The
instructions include any that use PC-relative addressing, change the PC,
or change interrupt masking. For efficiency and simplicity test
functions are also added for small collections of related instructions.

c94ae4f7c5 arm64: insn: remove BUG_ON from codegen
During code generation, we used to BUG_ON unknown/unsupported encoding
or invalid parameters.

Instead, now we report these as errors and simply return the
instruction AARCH64_BREAK_FAULT. Users of these codegen helpers should
check for and handle this failure condition as appropriate.

Otherwise, unhandled codegen failure will result in trapping at
run-time due to AARCH64_BREAK_FAULT, which is arguably better than a
BUG_ON.

10b48f7ef2 arm64: insn: Add aarch64_{get,set}_branch_offset
In order to deal with branches located in alternate sequences,
but pointing to the main kernel text, it is required to extract
the relative displacement encoded in the instruction, and to be
able to update said instruction with a new offset (once it is
known).

For this, we introduce three new helpers:
- aarch64_insn_is_branch_imm is a predicate indicating if the
  instruction is an immediate branch
- aarch64_get_branch_offset returns a signed value representing
  the byte offset encoded in a branch instruction
- aarch64_set_branch_offset takes an instruction and an offset,
  and returns the corresponding updated instruction.

f6242cac10 arm64: Fix text patching logic when using fixmap
Patch 2f896d5866 ("arm64: use fixmap for text patching") changed
the way we patch the kernel text, using a fixmap when the kernel or
modules are flagged as read only.

Unfortunately, a flaw in the logic makes it fall over when patching
modules without CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled:

[...]

[   32.034044] [<fffffe0000135714>] SyS_finit_module+0x94/0xc4
[...]

This is triggered by the use of virt_to_page() on a module address,
which ends to pointing to Nowhereland if you're lucky, or corrupt
your precious data if not.

This patch fixes the logic by mimicking what is done on arm:
- If we're patching a module and CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is set,
  use vmalloc_to_page().
- If we're patching the kernel and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set,
  use virt_to_page().
- Otherwise, use the provided address, as we can write to it directly.

Tested on 4.0-rc1 as a KVM guest.

c852f32058 arm64: Emulate CP15 Barrier instructions
The CP15 barrier instructions (CP15ISB, CP15DSB and CP15DMB) are
deprecated in the ARMv7 architecture, superseded by ISB, DSB and DMB
instructions respectively. Some implementations may provide the
ability to disable the CP15 barriers by disabling the CP15BEN bit in
SCTLR_EL1. If not enabled, the encodings for these instructions become
undefined.

To support legacy software using these instructions, this patch
register hooks to -
* emulate CP15 barriers and warn the user about their use
* toggle CP15BEN in SCTLR_EL1

bd35a4adc4 arm64: Port SWP/SWPB emulation support from arm
The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture. The
ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions
are treated as undefined from reset, with the ability to enable them
through the System Control Register SW bit. With ARMv8, the option to
enable these instructions through System Control Register was dropped
as well.

To support legacy applications using these instructions, port the
emulation of the SWP and SWPB instructions from the arm port to arm64.

899d5933b2 Correct the race condition in aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync()
When experimenting with patches to provide kprobes support for aarch64
smp machines would hang when inserting breakpoints into kernel code.
The hangs were caused by a race condition in the code called by
aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync().  The first processor in the
aarch64_insn_patch_text_cb() function would patch the code while other
processors were still entering the function and incrementing the
cpu_count field.  This resulted in some processors never observing the
exit condition and exiting the function.  Thus, processors in the
system hung.

The first processor to enter the patching function performs the
patching and signals that the patching is complete with an increment
of the cpu_count field. When all the processors have incremented the
cpu_count field the cpu_count will be num_cpus_online()+1 and they
will return to normal execution.

a9ae04c9fa arm64: insn: Add return statements after BUG_ON()
Following a recent series of enhancements to the insn code the ARMv8
allnoconfig build has been generating a large number of warnings in the
form of:

arch/arm64/kernel/insn.c:689:8: warning: 'insn' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This is because BUG() and related macros can be compiled out so we get
execution paths which normally result in a panic compiling out to noops
instead.

I wasn't able to immediately identify a sensible return value to use in
these cases so just return AARCH64_BREAK_FAULT - this is all "should
never happen" code so hopefully it never has a practical impact.
