This patch implements the core logic for changing a task's vector
length on request from userspace. This will be used by the ptrace
and prctl frontends that are implemented in later patches.
The SVE architecture permits, but does not require, implementations
to support vector lengths that are not a power of two. To handle
this, logic is added to check a requested vector length against a
possibly sparse bitmap of available vector lengths at runtime, so
that the best supported value can be chosen.

This patch implements support for saving and restoring the SVE
registers around signals.
A fixed-size header struct sve_context is always included in the
signal frame encoding the thread's vector length at the time of
signal delivery, optionally followed by a variable-layout structure
encoding the SVE registers.
Because of the need to preserve backwards compatibility, the FPSIMD
view of the SVE registers is always dumped as a struct
fpsimd_context in the usual way, in addition to any sve_context.
The SVE vector registers are dumped in full, including bits 127:0
of each register which alias the corresponding FPSIMD vector
registers in the hardware. To avoid any ambiguity about which
alias to restore during sigreturn, the kernel always restores bits
127:0 of each SVE vector register from the fpsimd_context in the
signal frame (which must be present): userspace needs to take this
into account if it wants to modify the SVE vector register contents
on return from a signal.
FPSR and FPCR, which are used by both FPSIMD and SVE, are not
included in sve_context because they are always present in
fpsimd_context anyway.
For signal delivery, a new helper
fpsimd_signal_preserve_current_state() is added to update _both_
the FPSIMD and SVE views in the task struct, to make it easier to
populate this information into the signal frame. Because of the
redundancy between the two views of the state, only one is updated
otherwise.

It's desirable to be able to reset the vector length to some sane
default for new processes, since the new binary and its libraries
may or may not be SVE-aware.
This patch tracks the desired post-exec vector length (if any) in a
new thread member sve_vl_onexec, and adds a new thread flag
TIF_SVE_VL_INHERIT to control whether to inherit or reset the
vector length. Currently these are inactive. Subsequent patches

This patch adds the core support for switching and managing the SVE
architectural state of user tasks.
Calls to the existing FPSIMD low-level save/restore functions are
factored out as new functions task_fpsimd_{save,load}(), since SVE
now dynamically may or may not need to be handled at these points
depending on the kernel configuration, hardware features discovered
at boot, and the runtime state of the task. To make these
decisions as fast as possible, const cpucaps are used where
feasible, via the system_supports_sve() helper.
The SVE registers are only tracked for threads that have explicitly
used SVE, indicated by the new thread flag TIF_SVE. Otherwise, the
FPSIMD view of the architectural state is stored in
thread.fpsimd_state as usual.
When in use, the SVE registers are not stored directly in
thread_struct due to their potentially large and variable size.
Because the task_struct slab allocator must be configured very
early during kernel boot, it is also tricky to configure it
correctly to match the maximum vector length provided by the
hardware, since this depends on examining secondary CPUs as well as
the primary. Instead, a pointer sve_state in thread_struct points
to a dynamically allocated buffer containing the SVE register data,
and code is added to allocate and free this buffer at appropriate
times.
TIF_SVE is set when taking an SVE access trap from userspace, if
suitable hardware support has been detected. This enables SVE for
the thread: a subsequent return to userspace will disable the trap
accordingly. If such a trap is taken without sufficient system-
wide hardware support, SIGILL is sent to the thread instead as if
an undefined instruction had been executed: this may happen if
userspace tries to use SVE in a system where not all CPUs support
it for example.
The kernel will clear TIF_SVE and disable SVE for the thread
whenever an explicit syscall is made by userspace. For backwards
compatibility reasons and conformance with the spirit of the base
AArch64 procedure call standard, the subset of the SVE register
state that aliases the FPSIMD registers is still preserved across a
syscall even if this happens. The remainder of the SVE register
state logically becomes zero at syscall entry, though the actual
zeroing work is currently deferred until the thread next tries to
use SVE, causing another trap to the kernel. This implementation
is suboptimal: in the future, the fastpath case may be optimised
to zero the registers in-place and leave SVE enabled for the task,
where beneficial.
TIF_SVE is also cleared in the following slowpath cases, which are
taken as reasonable hints that the task may no longer use SVE:
* exec
* fork and clone
Code is added to sync data between thread.fpsimd_state and
thread.sve_state whenever enabling/disabling SVE, in a manner
consistent with the SVE architectural programmer's model.

Currently, a guest kernel sees the true CPU feature registers
(ID_*_EL1) when it reads them using MRS instructions. This means
that the guest may observe features that are present in the
hardware but the host doesn't understand or doesn't provide support
for. A guest may legimitately try to use such a feature as per the
architecture, but use of the feature may trap instead of working
normally, triggering undef injection into the guest.
This is not a problem for the host, but the guest may go wrong when
running on newer hardware than the host knows about.
This patch hides from guest VMs any AArch64-specific CPU features
that the host doesn't support, by exposing to the guest the
sanitised versions of the registers computed by the cpufeatures
framework, instead of the true hardware registers. To achieve
this, HCR_EL2.TID3 is now set for AArch64 guests, and emulation
code is added to KVM to report the sanitised versions of the
affected registers in response to MRS and register reads from
userspace.
The affected registers are removed from invariant_sys_regs[] (since
the invariant_sys_regs handling is no longer quite correct for
them) and added to sys_reg_desgs[], with appropriate access(),
get_user() and set_user() methods. No runtime vcpu storage is
allocated for the registers: instead, they are read on demand from
the cpufeatures framework. This may need modification in the
future if there is a need for userspace to customise the features
visible to the guest.
Attempts by userspace to write the registers are handled similarly
to the current invariant_sys_regs handling: writes are permitted,
but only if they don't attempt to change the value. This is
sufficient to support VM snapshot/restore from userspace.
Because of the additional registers, restoring a VM on an older
kernel may not work unless userspace knows how to handle the extra
VM registers exposed to the KVM user ABI by this patch.
Under the principle of least damage, this patch makes no attempt to
handle any of the other registers currently in
invariant_sys_regs[], or to emulate registers for AArch32: however,
these could be handled in a similar way in future, as necessary.

Currently sys_rt_sigreturn() verifies that the base sigframe is
readable, but no similar check is performed on the extra data to
which an extra_context record points.
This matters because the extra data will be read with the
unprotected user accessors. However, this is not a problem at
present because the extra data base address is required to be
exactly at the end of the base sigframe. So, there would need to
be a non-user-readable kernel address within about 59K
(SIGFRAME_MAXSZ - sizeof(struct rt_sigframe)) of some address for
which access_ok(VERIFY_READ) returns true, in order for sigreturn
to be able to read kernel memory that should be inaccessible to the
user task. This is currently impossible due to the untranslatable
address hole between the TTBR0 and TTBR1 address ranges.
Disappearance of the hole between the TTBR0 and TTBR1 mapping
ranges would require the VA size for TTBR0 and TTBR1 to grow to at
least 55 bits, and either the disabling of tagged pointers for
userspace or enabling of tagged pointers for kernel space; none of
which is currently envisaged.
Even so, it is wrong to use the unprotected user accessors without
an accompanying access_ok() check.
To avoid the potential for future surprises, this patch does an
explicit access_ok() check on the extra data space when parsing an
extra_context record.

Adding a naked 'disable_daif' to kernel_exit causes a performance problem
for micro-benchmarks that do no real work, (e.g. calling getpid() in a

that the TIF_WORK_MASK thread flags can't change underneath it, adding
disable_daif is an additional self-synchronising operation.
In the future, the RAS APEI code may need to modify the TIF_WORK_MASK
flags from an SError, in which case the ret_to_user loop must mask SError
while it examines the flags.
Disable all exceptions for return to EL1. For return to EL0 get the
ret_to_user loop to leave all exceptions masked once it has done its

Upon upgrading to binutils 2.27, we found that our lz4 and gzip
compressed kernel images were significantly larger, resulting is 10ms
boot time regressions.
As noted by Rahul:
"aarch64 binaries uses RELA relocations, where each relocation entry
includes an addend value. This is similar to x86_64. On x86_64, the
addend values are also stored at the relocation offset for relative
relocations. This is an optimization: in the case where code does not
need to be relocated, the loader can simply skip processing relative
relocations. In binutils-2.25, both bfd and gold linkers did this for
x86_64, but only the gold linker did this for aarch64. The kernel build
here is using the bfd linker, which stored zeroes at the relocation
offsets for relative relocations. Since a set of zeroes compresses
better than a set of non-zero addend values, this behavior was resulting
in much better lz4 compression.
The bfd linker in binutils-2.27 is now storing the actual addend values
at the relocation offsets. The behavior is now consistent with what it
does for x86_64 and what gold linker does for both architectures. The
change happened in this upstream commit:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=1f56df9d0d5ad89806c24e71f296576d82344613
Since a bunch of zeroes got replaced by non-zero addend values, we see
the side effect of lz4 compressed image being a bit bigger.
To get the old behavior from the bfd linker, "--no-apply-dynamic-relocs"
flag can be used:
$ LDFLAGS="--no-apply-dynamic-relocs" make
With this flag, the compressed image size is back to what it was with
binutils-2.25.
If the kernel is using ASLR, there aren't additional runtime costs to
--no-apply-dynamic-relocs, as the relocations will need to be applied
again anyway after the kernel is relocated to a random address.
If the kernel is not using ASLR, then presumably the current default
behavior of the linker is better. Since the static linker performed the
dynamic relocs, and the kernel is not moved to a different address at
load time, it can skip applying the relocations all over again."

Any compression scheme should be able to get better results from the

10ms boot time savings isn't anything to get excited about, but users of
arm64+compression+bfd-2.27 should not have to pay a penalty for no

The generic pte_access_permitted() implementation only checks for
pte_present() (together with the write permission where applicable).
However, for both kernel ptes and PROT_NONE mappings pte_present() also
returns true on arm64 even though such mappings are not user accessible.
Additionally, arm64 now supports execute-only user permission
(PROT_EXEC) which is implemented by clearing the PTE_USER bit.
With this patch the arm64 implementation of pte_access_permitted()
checks for the PTE_VALID and PTE_USER bits together with writable access
if applicable.

When we take a fault we can't handle, we try to dump some relevant
information, but we're not consistent about doing so.
In do_mem_abort(), we log the full ESR, but don't dump a page table
walk. In __do_kernel_fault, we dump an attempted decoding of the ESR
(but not the ESR itself) along with a page table walk.
Let's try to make things more consistent by dumping the full ESR in
mem_abort_decode(), and having do_mem_abort dump a page table walk. The
existing dump of the ESR in do_mem_abort() is rendered redundant, and
removed.

__memcpy_{to,from}io fall back to byte-at-a-time copying if both the
source and destination pointers are not 8-byte aligned. Since one of the
pointers always points at normal memory, this is unnecessary and
detrimental to performance, so only do byte copying until we hit an 8-byte
boundary for the device pointer.
This change was motivated by performance issues in the pstore driver.
On a test platform, measuring probe time for pstore, console buffer
size of 1/4MB and pmsg of 1/2MB, was in the 90-107ms region. Change
managed to reduce it to 10-25ms, an improvement in boot time.

Now that the ARM ARM clearly specifies the rules for inferring
the values of the ID register fields, fix the types of the
feature bits we have in the kernel.
As per ARM ARM DDI0487B.b, section D10.1.4 "Principles of the
ID scheme for fields in ID registers" lists the registers to
which the scheme applies along with the exceptions.
This patch changes the relevant feature bits from FTR_EXACT
to FTR_LOWER_SAFE to select the safer value. This will enable
an older kernel running on a new CPU detect the safer option
rather than completely disabling the feature.

Based on: ARM Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv8 (DDI 0487B.b).
ARMv8.1 introduces the optional feature ARMv8.1-TTHM which can trigger a
new type of memory abort. This exception is triggered when hardware update
of page table flags is not atomic in regards to other memory accesses.
Replace the corresponding unknown entry with a more accurate one.
Cf: Section D10.2.28 ESR_ELx, Exception Syndrome Register (p D10-2381),
section D4.4.11 Restriction on memory types for hardware updates on page
tables (p D4-2116 - D4-2117).
ARMv8.2 does not add new exception types, however it is worth mentioning
that when obligatory feature RAS (optional for ARMv8.{0,1}) is implemented,
exceptions related to "Synchronous parity or ECC error on memory access,
not on translation table walk" become reserved and should not occur.

The current delay implementation uses the yield instruction, which is a
hint that it is beneficial to schedule another thread. As this is a hint,
it may be implemented as a NOP, causing all delays to be busy loops. This
is the case for many existing CPUs.
Taking advantage of the generic timer sending periodic events to all
cores, we can use WFE during delays to reduce power consumption. This is
beneficial only for delays longer than the period of the timer event
stream.
If timer event stream is not enabled, delays will behave as yield/busy
loops.

The arch timer configuration for a CPU might get reset after suspending
said CPU.
In order to reliably use the event stream in the kernel (e.g. for delays),
we keep track of the state where we can safely consider the event stream as
properly configured. After writing to cntkctl, we issue an ISB to ensure
that subsequent delay loops can rely on the event stream being enabled.

Currently we inconsistently log identifying information for the boot CPU
and secondary CPUs. For the boot CPU, we log the MIDR and MPIDR across
separate messages, whereas for the secondary CPUs we only log the MIDR.
In some cases, it would be useful to know the MPIDR of secondary CPUs,
and it would be nice for these messages to be consistent.
This patch ensures that in the primary and secondary boot paths, we log
both the MPIDR and MIDR in a single message, with a consistent format.
the MPIDR is consistently padded to 10 hex characters to cover Aff3 in
bits 39:32, so that IDs can be compared easily.
The newly redundant message in setup_arch() is removed.
