Since mdscr_el1 is part of the debug register group, it is highly likely to be trapped by a hypervisor to prevent virtual machines from debugging (buggering?) each other. Unfortunately, this absolutely destroys our performance, since we access the register on many of our low-level fault handling paths to keep track of the various debug state machines. This patch removes our dependency on mdscr_el1 in the case that debugging is not being used. More specifically we: - Use TIF_SINGLESTEP to indicate that a task is stepping at EL0 and avoid disabling step in the MDSCR when we don't need to. MDSCR_EL1.SS handling is moved to kernel_entry, when trapping from userspace. - Ensure debug exceptions are re-enabled on *all* exception entry paths, even the debug exception handling path (where we re-enable exceptions after invoking the handler). Since we can now rely on MDSCR_EL1.SS being cleared by the entry code, exception handlers can usually enable debug immediately before enabling interrupts. - Remove all debug exception unmasking from ret_to_user and el1_preempt, since we will never get here with debug exceptions masked. This results in a slight change to kernel debug behaviour, where we now step into interrupt handlers and data aborts from EL1 when debugging the kernel, which is actually a useful thing to do. A side-effect of this is that it *does* potentially prevent stepping off {break,watch}points when there is a high-frequency interrupt source (e.g. a timer), so a debugger would need to use either breakpoints or manually disable interrupts to get around this issue. With this patch applied, guest performance is restored under KVM when debug register accesses are trapped (and we get a measurable performance increase on the host on Cortex-A57 too).

In order to ensure ordering and completion of inner-shareable maintenance instructions (cache and TLB) on AArch64, we can use the -ish suffix to the dmb and dsb instructions respectively. This patch updates our low-level cache and tlb maintenance routines to use the inner-shareable barrier variants where appropriate.

set_cpu_boot_mode_flag is used to identify which exception levels are encountered across the system by CPUs trying to enter the kernel. The basic algorithm is: if a CPU is booting at EL2, it will set a flag at an offset of #4 from __boot_cpu_mode, a cacheline-aligned variable. Otherwise, a flag is set at an offset of zero into the same cacheline. This enables us to check that all CPUs booted at the same exception level. This cacheline is written with the stage-1 MMU off (that is, via a strongly-ordered mapping) and will bypass any clean lines in the cache, leading to potential coherence problems when the variable is later checked via the normal, cacheable mapping of the kernel image. This patch reworks the broken flushing code so that we: (1) Use a DMB to order the strongly-ordered write of the cacheline against the subsequent cache-maintenance operation (by-VA operations only hazard against normal, cacheable accesses). (2) Use a single dc ivac instruction to invalidate any clean lines containing a stale copy of the line after it has been updated.

The tlb maintainence functions: __cpu_flush_user_tlb_range and __cpu_flush_kern_tlb_range do not take into consideration the page granule when looping through the address range, and repeatedly flush tlb entries for the same page when operating with 64K pages. This patch re-works the logic s.t. we instead advance the loop by 1 << (PAGE_SHIFT - 12), so avoid repeating ourselves. Also the routines have been converted from assembler to static inline functions to aid with legibility and potential compiler optimisations. The isb() has been removed from flush_tlb_kernel_range(.) as it is only needed when changing the execute permission of a mapping. If one needs to set an area of the kernel as execute/non-execute an isb() must be inserted after the call to flush_tlb_kernel_range.

We have the capability to map 1GB level 1 blocks when using a 4K granule. This patch adjusts the create_mapping logic s.t. when mapping physical memory on boot, we attempt to use a 1GB block if both the VA and PA start and end are 1GB aligned. This both reduces the levels of lookup required to resolve a kernel logical address, as well as reduces TLB pressure on cores that support 1GB TLB entries.

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove the pgprot_default and prot_sect_default global variables and rely strictly on predefined values. The original goal was to be able to run SMP kernels on UP hardware by not setting the Shareability bit. However, it is unlikely to see UP ARMv8 hardware and even if we do, the Shareability bit is no longer assumed to disable cacheable accesses. A side effect is that the device mappings now have the Shareability attribute set. The hardware, however, should ignore it since Device accesses are always Outer Shareable. Following the removal of the two global variables, there is some PROT_* macro reshuffling and cleanup, including the __PAGE_* macros (replaced by PAGE_*).

The ARMv8 architecture allows execute-only user permissions by clearing the PTE_UXN and PTE_USER bits. The kernel, however, can still access such page, so execute-only page permission does not protect against read(2)/write(2) etc. accesses. Systems requiring such protection must implement/enable features like SECCOMP. This patch changes the arm64 __P100 and __S100 protection_map[] macros to the new __PAGE_EXECONLY attributes. A side effect is that pte_valid_user() no longer triggers for __PAGE_EXECONLY since PTE_USER isn't set. To work around this, the check is done on the PTE_NG bit via the pte_valid_ng() macro. VM_READ is also checked now for page faults. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

Following arm64 commit bc3ee18a (arm64: init: Move of_clk_init to time_init()), vexpress_osc_of_setup() is called via of_clk_init() long before initcalls are issued.

Commit d57c33c5 (add generic fixmap.h) added (among other similar things) set_fixmap_io to deal with early ioremap of devices. More recently, commit bf4b558e (arm64: add early_ioremap support) converted the arm64 earlyprintk to use set_fixmap_io. A side effect of this conversion is that my virtual machines have stopped booting when I pass "earlyprintk=uart8250-8bit,0x3f8" to the guest kernel. Turns out that the new earlyprintk code doesn't care at all about sub-page offsets, and just assumes that the earlyprintk device will be page-aligned. Obviously, that doesn't play well with the above example. Further investigation shows that set_fixmap_io uses __set_fixmap instead of __set_fixmap_offset. A fix is to introduce a set_fixmap_offset_io that uses the latter, and to remove the superflous call to fix_to_virt (which only returns the value that set_fixmap_io has already given us). With this applied, my VMs are back in business. Tested on a Cortex-A57 platform with kvmtool as platform emulation.

Fix for the arm64 kern_addr_valid() function to recognize virtual addresses in the kernel logical memory map. The function fails as written because it does not check whether the addresses in that region are mapped at the pmd level to 2MB or 512MB pages, continues the page table walk to the pte level, and issues a garbage value to pfn_valid().
