When a task calls execve(), its FP/SIMD state is flushed so that none of the original program state is observeable by the incoming program. However, since this flushing consists of setting the in-memory copy of the FP/SIMD state to all zeroes, the CPU field is set to CPU 0 as well, which indicates to the lazy FP/SIMD preserve/restore code that the FP/SIMD state does not need to be reread from memory if the task is scheduled again on CPU 0 without any other tasks having entered userland (or used the FP/SIMD in kernel mode) on the same CPU in the mean time. If this happens, the FP/SIMD state of the old program will still be present in the registers when the new program starts. So set the CPU field to the invalid value of NR_CPUS when performing the flush, by calling fpsimd_flush_task_state().

The linear region size of a 39-bit VA kernel is only 256 GB, which may be insufficient to cover all of system RAM, even on platforms that have much less than 256 GB of memory but which is laid out very sparsely. So make sure we clip the memory we will not be able to map before installing it into the memblock memory table, by setting MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR accordingly.

When parsing the memory nodes to populate the memblock memory table, we check against high and low limits and clip any memory that exceeds either one of them. However, for arm64, the high limit of (phys_addr_t)~0 is not very meaningful, since phys_addr_t is 64 bits (i.e., no limit) but there may be other constraints that limit the memory ranges that we can support. So rename MAX_PHYS_ADDR to MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR (for clarity) and only define it if the arch does not supply a definition of its own.

We have a micro-optimisation on the fast syscall return path where we take care to keep x0 live with the return value from the syscall so that we can avoid restoring it from the stack. The benefit of doing this is fairly suspect, since we will be restoring x1 from the stack anyway (which lives adjacent in the pt_regs structure) and the only additional cost is saving x0 back to pt_regs after the syscall handler, which could be seen as a poor man's prefetch. More importantly, this causes issues with the context tracking code. The ct_user_enter macro ends up branching into C code, which is free to use x0 as a scratch register and consequently leads to us returning junk back to userspace as the syscall return value. Rather than special case the context-tracking code, this patch removes the questionable optimisation entirely.

Will Deacon authored
The arm64 booting document requires that the bootloader has cleaned the kernel image to the PoC. However, when a CPU re-enters the kernel due to either a CPU hotplug "on" event or resuming from a low-power state (e.g. cpuidle), the kernel text may in-fact be dirty at the PoU due to things like alternative patching or even module loading. Thanks to I-cache speculation with the MMU off, stale instructions could be fetched prior to enabling the MMU, potentially leading to crashes when executing regions of code that have been modified at runtime. This patch addresses the issue by ensuring that the local I-cache is invalidated immediately after a CPU has enabled its MMU but before jumping out of the identity mapping. Any stale instructions fetched from the PoC will then be discarded and refetched correctly from the PoU. Patching kernel text executed prior to the MMU being enabled is prohibited, so the early entry code will always be clean.

In order to guarantee that the patched instruction stream is visible to a CPU, that CPU must execute an isb instruction after any related cache maintenance has completed. The instruction patching routines in kernel/insn.c get this right for things like jump labels and ftrace, but the alternatives patching omits it entirely leaving secondary cores in a potential limbo between the old and the new code. This patch adds an isb following the secondary polling loop in the altenatives patching. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

On ARM64 PROBE_ONLY PCI systems resources are not currently claimed, therefore they can't be enabled since they do not have a valid parent pointer; this in turn prevents enabling PCI devices on ARM64 PROBE_ONLY systems, causing PCI devices initialization to fail. To solve this issue, resources must be claimed when devices are added on PROBE_ONLY systems, which ensures that the resource hierarchy is validated and the resource tree is sane, but this requires changes in the ARM64 resource management that can affect adversely existing PCI set-ups (claiming resources on !PROBE_ONLY systems might break existing ARM64 PCI platform implementations). As a temporary solution in preparation for a proper resources claiming implementation in ARM64 core, to enable PCI PROBE_ONLY systems on ARM64, this patch adds a pcibios_enable_device() arch implementation that simply prevents enabling resources on PROBE_ONLY systems (mirroring ARM behaviour). This is always a safe thing to do because on PROBE_ONLY systems the configuration space set-up can be considered immutable, and it is in preparation of proper resource claiming that would finally validate the PCI resources tree in the ARM64 arch implementation on PROBE_ONLY systems. For !PROBE_ONLY systems resources enablement in pcibios_enable_device() on ARM64 is implemented as in current PCI core, leaving the behaviour unchanged.

When performing a cmpxchg operation on a signed sub-word type (e.g. s8), we need to ensure that the upper register bits of the "old" value used for comparison are zeroed, otherwise we may erroneously fail the cmpxchg which may even be interpreted as success by the caller (if the compiler performs the truncation as part of its check). This has been observed in mod_state, where negative values where causing problems with this_cpu_cmpxchg. This patch fixes the issue by explicitly casting 8-bit and 16-bit "old" values using unsigned types in our cmpxchg wrappers. 32-bit types can be left alone, since the underlying asm makes use of W registers in this case.

When patching the kernel text with alternatives, we may end up patching parts of the stop_machine state machine (e.g. atomic_dec_and_test in ack_state) and consequently corrupt the instruction stream of any secondary CPUs. This patch passes the cpu_online_mask to stop_machine, forcing all of the CPUs into our own callback which can place the secondary cores into a dumb (but safe!) polling loop whilst the patching is carried out.

The flush_tlb_page() function is used on user address ranges when PTEs (or PMDs/PUDs for huge pages) were changed (attributes or clearing). For such cases, it is more efficient to invalidate only the last level of the TLB with the "tlbi vale1is" instruction. In the TLB shoot-down case, the TLB caching of the intermediate page table levels (pmd, pud, pgd) is handled by __flush_tlb_pgtable() via the __(pte|pmd|pud)_free_tlb() functions and it is not deferred to tlb_finish_mmu() (as of commit 285994a6 - "arm64: Invalidate the TLB corresponding to intermediate page table levels"). The tlb_flush() function only needs to invalidate the TLB for the last level of page tables; the __flush_tlb_range() function gains a fourth argument for last level TLBI.

Currently create_mapping is marked with __ref, apparently because it refers to early_alloc. However, create_mapping has no logic to prevent erroneous use of early_alloc after it has been freed, and is only ever called by __init functions anyway. Thus the __ref marker is misleading and unnecessary. Instead, this patch marks create_mapping as __init, resulting in warnings if it is used from a a non __init functions, and allowing its memory to be reclaimed.
