Since 906c55579a ("timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the
real timekeeper last") it has become possible on ARM to:
- Obtain a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE timestamp
via syscall.
- Subsequently obtain a timestamp for the same clock ID via VDSO which
predates the first timestamp (by one jiffy).
This is because ARM's update_vsyscall is deriving the coarse time
using the __current_kernel_time interface, when it should really be
using the timekeeper object provided to it by the timekeeping core.
It happened to work before only because __current_kernel_time would
access the same timekeeper object which had been passed to
update_vsyscall. This is no longer the case.

ret_fast_syscall runs when user space makes a syscall. However it
needs to be marked as such so the ELF information is correct. Before
it was:
101: 8000f300 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 ret_fast_syscall
But with this change it correctly shows as:
101: 8000f300 96 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 2 ret_fast_syscall
I see this function when using perf to unwind call stacks from kernel
space to user space. Without this change I would need to add some
special case logic when using the vmlinux ELF information.

Since the commit "b2c3e38a5471 ARM: redo TTBR setup code for LPAE",
the setup code had been reworked. As a result the secondary CPUs
failed to come online in Big Endian.
As explained by Russell, the new code expected the value in r4/r5 to
be the least significant 32bits in r4 and the most significant 32bits
in r5. However, in the secondary code, we load this using ldrd, which
on BE reverses that.
This patch swap r4/r5 after the ldrd. It is done using the xor
instructions in order to not use a temporary register.

Now that the common PSCI client code has been factored out to
drivers/firmware, and made safe for 32-bit use, move the 32-bit ARM code
over to it. This results in a moderate reduction of duplicated lines,
and will prevent further duplication as the PSCI client code is updated
for PSCI 1.0 and beyond.
The two legacy platform users of the PSCI invocation code are updated to
account for interface changes. In both cases the power state parameter
(which is constant) is now generated using macros, so that the
pack/unpack logic can be killed in preparation for PSCI 1.0 power state
changes.

On some PAE systems (e.g. TI Keystone), memory is above the 32-bit
addressable limit, and the interconnect provides an aliased view of
parts of physical memory in the 32-bit addressable space. This alias
is strictly for boot time usage, and is not otherwise usable because
of coherency limitations.
In this case, virt_to_phys(secondary_startup) would return the
physical address of the secondary CPU boot entry point, but on such
systems, this would be above the 4GB limit.
A separate function, virt_to_idmap(), has been provided to return a
usable physical address for functions in the identity mapping, and
this must be used in preference to virt_to_phys() or __pa() to find
the physical entry point for functions in the identity mapping range.
For other systems, virt_to_idmap() and virt_to_phys() return identical
physical addresses.

Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
rename it to make it all clearer.
This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
of a jump label is.
This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

Writes to /sys/.../cpuX/online fail if we determine the platform
doesn't support hotplug for that CPU. Furthermore, if the cpu_die
op isn't specified the system hangs when we try to offline a CPU
and it comes right back online unexpectedly. Let's figure this
stuff out before we make the sysfs nodes so that the online file
doesn't even exist if it isn't (at least sometimes) possible to
hotplug the CPU.
Add a new 'cpu_can_disable' op and repoint all 'cpu_disable'
implementations at it because all implementers use the op to
indicate if a CPU can be hotplugged or not in a static fashion.
With PSCI we may need to add a 'cpu_disable' op so that the
secure OS can be migrated off the CPU we're trying to hotplug.
In this case, the 'cpu_can_disable' op will indicate that all
CPUs are hotpluggable by returning true, but the 'cpu_disable' op
will make a PSCI migration call and occasionally fail, denying
the hotplug of a CPU. This shouldn't be any worse than x86 where
we may indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable but occasionally
we can't offline a CPU due to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable()
failing to find a CPU to move vectors to.

arch_find_n_match_cpu_physical_id parses the device tree to get the
device node for a given logical cpu index. However, since ARM PMUs get
probed after the CPU device nodes are stashed while registering the
cpus, we can use of_cpu_device_node_get to avoid another DT parse.
This patch replaces arch_find_n_match_cpu_physical_id with
of_cpu_device_node_get to reuse the stashed value directly instead.

On systems containing multiple, heterogeneous clusters we need a way to
associate a PMU "device" with the CPU(s) on which it exists. For PMUs
that signal overflow with SPIs, this relationship is determined via the
"interrupt-affinity" property, which contains a list of phandles to CPU
nodes for the PMU. For PMUs using PPIs, the per-cpu nature of the
interrupt isn't enough to determine the set of CPUs which actually
contain the device.
This patch allows the interrupt-affinity property to be specified on a
PMU node irrespective of the interrupt type. For PPIs, it identifies
the set of CPUs signalling the PPI in question.

The existing memory barrier macro causes a significant amount of code
to be inserted inline at every call site. For example, in
gpio_set_irq_type(), we have this for mb():
c0344c08: f57ff04e dsb st
c0344c0c: e59f8190 ldr r8, [pc, #400] ; c0344da4 <gpio_set_irq_type+0x230>

c0344c18: 0a000054 beq c0344d70 <gpio_set_irq_type+0x1fc>
c0344c1c: e3530000 cmp r3, #0
c0344c20: 0a000004 beq c0344c38 <gpio_set_irq_type+0xc4>
c0344c24: e50b2030 str r2, [fp, #-48] ; 0xffffffd0
c0344c28: e50bc034 str ip, [fp, #-52] ; 0xffffffcc
c0344c2c: e12fff33 blx r3
c0344c30: e51bc034 ldr ip, [fp, #-52] ; 0xffffffcc
c0344c34: e51b2030 ldr r2, [fp, #-48] ; 0xffffffd0
c0344c38: e5963004 ldr r3, [r6, #4]
Moving the outer_cache_sync() call out of line reduces the impact of
the barrier:
c0344968: f57ff04e dsb st
c034496c: e35a0004 cmp sl, #4
c0344970: e50b2030 str r2, [fp, #-48] ; 0xffffffd0
c0344974: 0a000044 beq c0344a8c <gpio_set_irq_type+0x1b8>
c0344978: ebf363dd bl c001d8f4 <arm_heavy_mb>
c034497c: e5953004 ldr r3, [r5, #4]
This should reduce the cache footprint of this code. Overall, this
results in a reduction of around 20K in the kernel size:
text data bss dec hex filename
10773970 667392 10369656 21811018 14ccf4a ../build/imx6/vmlinux-old
10754219 667392 10369656 21791267 14c8223 ../build/imx6/vmlinux-new
Another advantage to this approach is that we can finally resolve the
issue of SoCs which have their own memory barrier requirements within
multiplatform kernels (such as OMAP.) Here, the bus interconnects
need additional handling to ensure that writes become visible in the
correct order (eg, between dma_map() operations, writes to DMA
coherent memory, and MMIO accesses.)

As we now have generic infrastructure to support backtracing of other
CPUs in the system on lockups, we can start to implement this for ARM.
Initially, we add an IPI based implementation, as the GIC code needs
modification to support the generation of FIQ IPIs, and not all ARM
platforms have the ability to raise a FIQ in the non-secure world.
This provides us with a "best efforts" implementation in the absence

of the modular init code from <init.h> to <module.h>. These are
things that weren't easily categorized into any of the other previous
series categories already requested for pull.
That said, each fixup branch (including this one) is independent and
there are no ordering constraints. Only the final code relocation
(which is NOT in this pull) requires that all my cleanup branches be
merged first"

Commit 32e55a777f ("ARM: 8389/1: Add cpu_resume_arm() for firmwares

In Thumb2 mode, the stack register r13 is deprecated if the
destination register is the program counter (r15). Similar to
head.S, head-nommu.S uses r13 to store the return address used
after configuring the CPU's CP15 register. However, since we do
not enable a MMU, there will be no address switch and it is
possible to use branch with link instruction to call
__after_proc_init.
Avoid using r13 completely by using bl to call __after_proc_init
and get rid of __secondary_switched.
Beside removing unnecessary complexity, this also fixes a
compiler warning when compiling a !MMU kernel:
Warning: Use of r13 as a source register is deprecated when r15
is the destination register.

Some platforms always enter the kernel in the ARM state even if
the kernel is compiled for THUMB2. Add a small wrapper on top of
cpu_resume() that switches into THUMB2 state.
This provides the functionality to fix a problem reported by Kevin
Hilman on next-20150601 where the ifc6410 fails to boot a THUMB2
kernel because the platform's firmware always enters the kernel in
ARM mode from deep idle states.

Fixes the TCM initialisation code to handle TCM banks that are
present but inaccessible due to TrustZone configuration. This is
the default case when enabling the non-secure world. It may also
be the case that that the user decided to use TCM for TrustZone.
This change has exposed a bug in handling of TCM where no TCM bank
was usable (the 0 size TCM case). This change addresses the
resulting hang.
This code only handles the ARMv6 TCMTR register format, and will not
work correctly on boards that use the ARMv7 (or any other) format.
This is handled by performing an early exit from the initialisation
function when the TCMTR reports any format other than v6.

The new veneer support for loadable modules on ARM uses the
__opcode_to_mem_thumb32() function to count R_ARM_THM_CALL
and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 relocations.
However, this function is not defined for big-endian kernels
on ARMv5 or before, causing a compile-time error:
arch/arm/kernel/module-plts.c: In function 'count_plts':

^
As we know that this part of the function is only needed for
Thumb2 kernels, and that those can never happen with BE32,
we can avoid the error by enclosing the code in an #ifdef.

Re-engineer the LPAE TTBR setup code. Rather than passing some shifted
address in order to fit in a CPU register, pass either a full physical
address (in the case of r4, r5 for TTBR0) or a PFN (for TTBR1).
This removes the ARCH_PGD_SHIFT hack, and the last dangerous user of
cpu_set_ttbr() in the secondary CPU startup code path (which was there
to re-set TTBR1 to the appropriate high physical address space on
Keystone2.)

In heterogeneous systems, the number of counters may differ across
clusters. To find the number of counters for a cluster, we must probe
the PMU from a CPU in that cluster.

Different CPU microarchitectures implement different PMU events, and
thus events which can be scheduled on one microarchitecture cannot be
scheduled on another, and vice-versa. Some archicted events behave
differently across microarchitectures, and thus cannot be meaningfully
summed. Due to this, we reject the scheduling of an event on a CPU of a
different microarchitecture to that the event targets.
When the core perf code is scheduling events and encounters an event
which cannot be scheduled, it stops attempting to schedule events. As
the perf core periodically rotates the list of events, for some
proportion of the time events which are unschedulable will block events
which are schedulable, resulting in low utilisation of the hardware
counters.
This patch implements a pmu::filter_match callback such that we can
detect and skip such events while scheduling early, before they can
block the schedulable events. This prevents the low HW counter
utilisation issue.

In multi-cluster systems, the PMUs can be different across clusters, and
so our logical PMU may not be able to schedule events on all CPUs.
This patch adds a cpumask to encode which CPUs a PMU driver supports
controlling events for, and limits the driver to scheduling events on
those CPUs, and enabling and disabling the physical PMUs on those CPUs.
The cpumask is built based on the interrupt-affinity property, and in
the absence of such a property a homogenous system is assumed.

Commit 338d9dd3e2 ("ARM: 8351/1: perf: don't warn about missing
interrupt-affinity property for PPIs") added a check for PPIs so that
we avoid parsing the interrupt-affinity property for these naturally
affine interrupts.
Unfortunately, this check can trigger an early (successful) return and
we will leak the irqs array. This patch fixes the issue by reordering
the code so that the check is performed before any independent
allocation.

Josh Stone reports:
I've discovered a case where both arm and arm64 will miss a ptrace
syscall-exit that they should report. If the syscall is entered
without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, then it goes on the fast path. It's
then possible to have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE added in the middle of the
syscall, but ret_fast_syscall doesn't check this flag again.
Fix this by always checking for a syscall trace in the fast exit path.

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the
assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr'
instruction did not take account of their ISA.
Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new
macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM()
mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification
is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

Loading modules far away from the kernel in memory is problematic
because the 'bl' instruction only has limited reach, and modules are not
built with PLTs. Instead of using the -mlong-calls option (which affects
all compiler emitted bl instructions, but not the ones in assembler),
this patch allocates some additional space at module load time, and
populates it with PLT like veneers when encountering relocations that
are out of range.
This should work with all relocations against symbols exported by the
kernel, including those resulting from GCC generated implicit function
calls for ftrace etc.
The module memory size increases by about 5% on average, regardless of
whether any PLT entries were actually needed. However, due to the page
based rounding that occurs when allocating module memory, the average
memory footprint increase is negligible.

Fixes:
- An integer overflow in the calculation of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE.
- Avoiding OOMs for high-order IOMMU allocations
- SMP requires the data cache to be enabled for synchronisation
primitives to work, so prevent the CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE option being
visible on SMP builds.
- A bug going back 10+ years in the noMMU ARM94* CPU support code,
where it corrupts registers. Found by folk getting Linux running
on their cameras.
- Versatile Express needs an errata workaround enabled for CPU
hot-unplug to work.
Features:
- Clean up module linker by handling out of range relocations
separately from relocation cases we don't handle.
- Fix a long term bug in the pci_mmap_page_range() code, which we
hope won't impact userspace (we hope there's no users of the
existing broken interface.)
- Don't map DMA coherent allocations when we don't have a MMU.
- Drop experimental status for SMP_ON_UP.
- Warn when DT doesn't specify ePAPR mandatory cache properties.
- Add documentation concerning how we find the start of physical
memory for AUTO_ZRELADDR kernels, detailing why we have chosen the
mask and the implications of changing it.
- Updates from Ard Biesheuvel to address some issues with large
kernels (such as allyesconfig) failing to link.
- Allow hibernation to work on modern (ARMv7) CPUs - this appears to
have never worked in the past on these CPUs.
- Enable IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL, which changes the /proc/interrupts output
format (hopefully without userspace breaking... let's hope that if
it causes someone a problem, they tell us.)
- Fix tegra-ahb DT offsets.
- Rework ARM errata 643719 code (and ARMv7 flush_cache_louis()/
flush_dcache_all()) code to be more efficient, and enable this
errata workaround by default for ARMv7+SMP CPUs. This complements
the Versatile Express fix above.
- Rework ARMv7 context code for errata 430973, so that only Cortex A8
CPUs are impacted by the branch target buffer flush when this
errata is enabled. Also update the help text to indicate that all
r1p* A8 CPUs are impacted.
- Switch ARM to the generic show_mem() implementation, it conveys all
the information which we were already reporting.
- Prevent slow timer sources being used for udelay() - timers running
at less than 1MHz are not useful for this, and can cause udelay()
to return immediately, without any wait. Using such a slow timer
is silly.
- VDSO support for 32-bit ARM, mainly for gettimeofday() using the
ARM architected timer.
- Perf support for Scorpion performance monitoring units"

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:
- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.
This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report

This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf

- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.

When trying to kexec into a new kernel on a platform where multiple CPU
cores are present, but no SMP bringup code is available yet, the
kexec_load system call fails with:
kexec_load failed: Invalid argument
The SMP test added to machine_kexec_prepare() in commit 2103f6cba6
("ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support") wants to prohibit
kexec on SMP platforms where it cannot disable secondary CPUs.
However, this test is too strict: if the secondary CPUs couldn't be
enabled in the first place, there's no need to disable them later at
kexec time. Hence skip the test in the absence of SMP bringup code.
This allows to add all CPU cores to the DTS from the beginning, without
having to implement SMP bringup first, improving DT compatibility.

Normally, when a CPU wants to clear a cache line to zero in the external
L2 cache, it would generate bus cycles to write each word as it would do
with any other data access.
However, a Cortex A9 connected to a L2C-310 has a specific feature where
the CPU can detect this operation, and signal that it wants to zero an
entire cache line. This feature, known as Full Line of Zeros (FLZ),
involves a non-standard AXI signalling mechanism which only the L2C-310
can properly interpret.
There are separate enable bits in both the L2C-310 and the Cortex A9 -
the L2C-310 needs to be enabled and have the FLZ enable bit set in the
auxiliary control register before the Cortex A9 has this feature
enabled.
Unfortunately, the suspend code was not respecting this - it's not
obvious from the code:
swsusp_arch_suspend()
cpu_suspend() /* saves the Cortex A9 auxiliary control register */
arch_save_image()
soft_restart() /* turns off FLZ in Cortex A9, and disables L2C */
cpu_resume() /* restores the Cortex A9 registers, inc auxcr */
At this point, we end up with the L2C disabled, but the Cortex A9 with
FLZ enabled - which means any memset() or zeroing of a full cache line
will fail to take effect.
A similar issue exists in the resume path, but it's slightly more
complex:
swsusp_arch_suspend()
cpu_suspend() /* saves the Cortex A9 auxiliary control register */
arch_save_image() /* image with A9 auxcr saved */
...
swsusp_arch_resume()
call_with_stack()
arch_restore_image() /* restores image with A9 auxcr saved above */
soft_restart() /* turns off FLZ in Cortex A9, and disables L2C */
cpu_resume() /* restores the Cortex A9 registers, inc auxcr */
Again, here we end up with the L2C disabled, but Cortex A9 FLZ enabled.
There's no need to turn off the L2C in either of these two paths; there
are benefits from not doing so - for example, the page copies will be
faster with the L2C enabled.
Hence, fix this by providing a variant of soft_restart() which can be
used without turning the L2 cache controller off, and use it in both
of these paths to keep the L2C enabled across the respective resume
transitions.

the adr reference to sleep_save_sp to an explicit PC relative

This patch replaces the 'branch to setup()' instructions embedded
in the PROCINFO structs with the offset to that setup function
relative to the base of the struct. This preserves the position
independent nature of that field, but uses a data item rather
than an instruction.

where the setup function is out of reach for the branch.

Allow users to enable the vdso in Kconfig; include the vdso in the

Initialize the VDSO page list at boot, install the VDSO mapping at
exec time, and update the data page during timer ticks. This code is
not built if CONFIG_VDSO is not enabled.
Account for the VDSO length when randomizing the offset from the
stack. The [vdso] and [vvar] pages are placed immediately following
the sigpage with separate _install_special_mapping calls.
We want to "penalize" systems lacking the arch timer as little
as possible. Previous versions of this code installed the VDSO
unconditionally and unmodified, making it a measurably slower way for
glibc to invoke the real syscalls on such systems. E.g. calling
gettimeofday via glibc goes from ~560ns to ~630ns on i.MX6Q.
If we can indicate to glibc that the time-related APIs in the VDSO are
not accelerated, glibc can continue to invoke the syscalls directly
instead of dispatching through the VDSO only to fall back to the slow
path.
Thus, if the architected timer is unusable for whatever reason, patch
the VDSO at boot time so that symbol lookups for gettimeofday and
clock_gettime return NULL. (This is similar to what powerpc does and
borrows code from there.) This allows glibc to perform the syscall
directly instead of passing control to the VDSO, which minimizes the
penalty. In my measurements the time taken for a gettimeofday call
via glibc goes from ~560ns to ~580ns (again on i.MX6Q), and this is
solely due to adding a test and branch to glibc's gettimeofday syscall
wrapper.
An alternative to patching the VDSO at boot would be to not install
the VDSO at all when the arch timer isn't usable. Another alternative
is to include a separate "dummy" vdso.so without gettimeofday and
clock_gettime, which would be selected at boot time. Either of these
would get cumbersome if the VDSO were to gain support for an API such
as getcpu which is unrelated to arch timer support.

Place VDSO-related user-space code in arch/arm/kernel/vdso/.
It is almost completely written in C with some assembly helpers to
load the data page address, sample the counter, and fall back to
system calls when necessary.
The VDSO can service gettimeofday and clock_gettime when
CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER is enabled and the architected timer is present
(and correctly configured). It reads the CP15-based virtual counter
to compute high-resolution timestamps.
Of particular note is that a post-processing step ("vdsomunge") is
necessary to produce a shared object which is architecturally allowed
to be used by both soft- and hard-float EABI programs.
The 2012 edition of the ARM ABI defines Tag_ABI_VFP_args = 3 "Code is
compatible with both the base and VFP variants; the user did not
permit non-variadic functions to pass FP parameters/results."
Unfortunately current toolchains do not support this tag, which is
ideally what we would use.
The best available option is to ensure that both EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT
and EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD are unset in the ELF header's e_flags,
indicating that the shared object is "old" and should be accepted for
backward compatibility's sake. While binutils < 2.24 appear to
produce a vdso.so with both flags clear, 2.24 always sets
EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT, with no way to inhibit this behavior. So we
have to fix things up with a custom post-processing step.
In fact, the VDSO code in glibc does much less validation (including
checking these flags) than the code for handling conventional
file-backed shared libraries, so this is a bit moot unless glibc's
VDSO code becomes more strict.
