    arm64: kasan: mte: use a constant kernel GCR_EL1 value · 82868247
    Mark Rutland authored
    When KASAN_HW_TAGS is selected, KASAN is enabled at boot time, and the
    hardware supports MTE, we'll initialize `kernel_gcr_excl` with a value
    dependent on KASAN_TAG_MAX. While the resulting value is a constant
    which depends on KASAN_TAG_MAX, we have to perform some runtime work to
    generate the value, and have to read the value from memory during the
    exception entry path. It would be better if we could generate this as a
    constant at compile-time, and use it as such directly.
    
    Early in boot within __cpu_setup(), we initialize GCR_EL1 to a safe
    value, and later override this with the value required by KASAN. If
    CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is not selected, or if KASAN is disabeld at boot
    time, the kernel will not use IRG instructions, and so the initial value
    of GCR_EL1 is does not matter to the kernel. Thus, we can instead have
    __cpu_setup() initialize GCR_EL1 to a value consistent with
    KASAN_TAG_MAX, and avoid the need to re-initialize it during hotplug and
    resume form suspend.
    
    This patch makes arem64 use a compile-time constant KERNEL_GCR_EL1
    value, which is compatible with KASAN_HW_TAGS when this is selected.
    This removes the need to re-initialize GCR_EL1 dynamically, and acts as
    an optimization to the entry assembly, which no longer needs to load
    this value from memory. The redundant initialization hooks are removed.
    
    In order to do this, KASAN_TAG_MAX needs to be visible outside of the
    core KASAN code. To do this, I've moved the KASAN_TAG_* values into
    <linux/kasan-tags.h>.
    
    There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
