After commit f51f7a0f ("riscv: enable DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC for !dma_coherent"), for non-coherent platforms with less than 4GB memory, we rely on users to pass "swiotlb=mmnn,force" kernel parameters to enable DMA bouncing for unaligned kmalloc() buffers. Now let's go further: If no bouncing needed for ZONE_DMA, let kernel automatically allocate 1MB swiotlb buffer per 1GB of RAM for kmalloc() bouncing on non-coherent platforms, so that no need to pass "swiotlb=mmnn,force" any more. The math of "1MB swiotlb buffer per 1GB of RAM for kmalloc() bouncing" is taken from arm64. Users can still force smaller swiotlb buffer by passing "swiotlb=mmnn".

While reworking code to fix sparse errors, it appears that the RISCV_M_MODE specific could actually be removed and use the one for normal mode. Even though RISCV_M_MODE can do direct user memory access, using the user uaccess helpers is also going to work. Since there is no need anymore for specific accessors (load_u8()/store_u8()), we can directly use memcpy()/copy_{to/from}_user() and get rid of the copy loop entirely. __read_insn() is also fixed to use an unsigned long instead of a pointer which was cast in __user address space. The insn_addr parameter is now cast from unsigned lnog to the correct address space directly.

Following the rabbit hole, the Makefile changes originated in a script, created based on config files originally added by Gary, hence his co-authorship. 32-bit is broken in core rust code, so support is limited to 64-bit: ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __udivdi3 As 64-bit RISC-V is now supported, add it to the arch support table.

Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com> says: While studying riscv's cmpxchg.h file, I got really interested in understanding how RISCV asm implemented the different versions of {cmp,}xchg. When I understood the pattern, it made sense for me to remove the duplications and create macros to make it easier to understand what exactly changes between the versions: Instruction sufixes & barriers. Also, did the same kind of work on atomic.c. After that, I noted both cmpxchg and xchg only accept variables of size 4 and 8, compared to x86 and arm64 which do 1,2,4,8. Now that deduplication is done, it is quite direct to implement them for variable sizes 1 and 2, so I did it. Then Guo Ren already presented me some possible users :) I did compare the generated asm on a test.c that contained usage for every changed function, and could not detect any change on patches 1 + 2 + 3 compared with upstream. Pathes 4 & 5 were compiled-tested, merged with guoren/qspinlock_v11 and booted just fine with qemu -machine virt -append "qspinlock".

After selecting ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF, one straight futher optimization is implementing the arch_cmpxchg64_relaxed() because the lockref code does not need the cmpxchg to have barrier semantics. At the same time, implement arch_cmpxchg64_acquire and arch_cmpxchg64_release as well. However, on both TH1520 and JH7110 platforms, I didn't see obvious performance improvement with Linus' test case [1]. IMHO, this may be related with the fence and lr.d/sc.d hw implementations. In theory, lr/sc without fence could give performance improvement over lr/sc plus fence, so add the code here to leave performance improvement room on newer HW platforms.

commit 3335068f ("riscv: Use PUD/P4D/PGD pages for the linear mapping") added logic to allow using RAM below the kernel load address. However, this does not work for NOMMU, where PAGE_OFFSET is fixed to the kernel load address. Since that range of memory corresponds to PFNs below ARCH_PFN_OFFSET, mm initialization runs off the beginning of mem_map and corrupts adjacent kernel memory. Fix this by restoring the previous behavior for NOMMU kernels.

As I-Cache flush on current RISC-V needs to send IPIs to every CPU cores in the system is very costly, limiting flush_icache_mm to be called only when vma->vm_flags has VM_EXEC can help minimize the frequency of these operations. It improves performance and reduces disturbances when copy_from_user_page is needed such as profiling with perf. For I-D coherence concerns, it will not fail if such a page adds VM_EXEC flags in the future since we have checked it in the __set_pte_at function.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on 5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot. - Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with memory encryption enabled. - Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the result prevents updating the MSR. - Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology code. - Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver code at all. - Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration. - Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot crashes. - Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no guarantee that the address can be safely accessed. - Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another kmemleak false positive - Remove the buggy code which tries to update the E820 kexec table for setup_data as that is never passed to the kexec kernel. - Update the resource control documentation to use the proper units. - Fix a Kconfig warning observed with tinyconfig * tag 'x86-urgent-2024-03-24' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/boot/64: Move 5-level paging global variable assignments back x86/boot/64: Apply encryption mask to 5-level pagetable update x86/cpu: Add model number for another Intel Arrow Lake mobile processor x86/fpu: Keep xfd_state in sync with MSR_IA32_XFD Documentation/x86: Document that resctrl bandwidth control units are MiB x86/mpparse: Register APIC address only once x86/topology: Handle the !APIC case gracefully x86/topology: Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot x86/cpu: Ensure that CPU info updates are propagated on UP kprobes/x86: Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read from unsafe address x86/pm: Work around false positive kmemleak report in msr_build_context() x86/kexec: Do not update E820 kexec table for setup_data x86/config: Fix warning for 'make ARCH=x86_64 tinyconfig'

Check if get_next_variable() is actually valid pointer before calling it. In kdump kernel this method is set to NULL that causes panic during the kexec-ed kernel boot. Tested with QEMU and OVMF firmware. Fixes: bad267f9 ("efi: verify that variable services are supported") Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Tymoshenko <ovt@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
