This is the third attempt at enabling the use of contiguous hints for kernel mappings. The most recent attempt 0bfc445d was reverted after it turned out that updating permission attributes on live contiguous ranges may result in TLB conflicts. So this time, the contiguous hint is not set for .rodata or for the linear alias of .text/.rodata, both of which are mapped read-write initially, and remapped read-only at a later stage. (Note that the latter region could also be unmapped and remapped again with updated permission attributes, given that the region, while live, is only mapped for the convenience of the hibernation code, but that also means the TLB footprint is negligible anyway, so why bother) This enables the following contiguous range sizes for the virtual mapping of the kernel image, and for the linear mapping: granule size | cont PTE | cont PMD | -------------+------------+------------+ 4 KB | 64 KB | 32 MB | 16 KB | 2 MB | 1 GB* | 64 KB | 2 MB | 16 GB* | * Only when built for 3 or more levels of translation. This is due to the fact that a 2 level configuration only consists of PGDs and PTEs, and the added complexity of dealing with folded PMDs is not justified considering that 16 GB contiguous ranges are likely to be ignored by the hardware (and 16k/2 levels is a niche configuration) Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Tested-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

The routines __pud_populate and __pmd_populate only create a table entry at their respective level which refers to the next level page by its physical address, so there is no reason to map this page and then unmap it immediately after.

A mapping with the contiguous bit cannot be safely manipulated while live, regardless of whether the bit changes between the old and new mapping.

The debug_pagealloc facility manipulates kernel mappings in the linear region at page granularity to detect out of bounds or use-after-free accesses. Since the kernel segments are not allocated dynamically, there is no point in taking the debug_pagealloc_enabled flag into account for them, and we can use block mappings unconditionally. Note that this applies equally to the linear alias of text/rodata: we will never have dynamic allocations there given that the same memory is statically in use by the kernel image.

To avoid having mappings that are writable and executable at the same time, split the init region into a .init.text region that is mapped read-only, and a .init.data region that is mapped non-executable. This is possible now that the alternative patching occurs via the linear mapping, and the linear alias of the init region is always mapped writable (but never executable). Since the alternatives descriptions themselves are read-only data, move those into the .init.text region.

Now that alternatives patching code no longer relies on the primary mapping of .text being writable, we can remove the code that removes the writable permissions post-init time, and map it read-only from the outset. To preserve the existing behavior under rodata=off, which is relied upon by external debuggers to manage software breakpoints (as pointed out by Mark), add an early_param() check for rodata=, and use RWX permissions if it set to 'off'.

One important rule of thumb when desiging a secure software system is that memory should never be writable and executable at the same time. We mostly adhere to this rule in the kernel, except at boot time, when regions may be mapped RWX until after we are done applying alternatives or making other one-off changes. For the alternative patching, we can improve the situation by applying the fixups via the linear mapping, which is never mapped with executable permissions. So map the linear alias of .text with RW- permissions initially, and remove the write permissions as soon as alternative patching has completed.

In preparation of refactoring the kernel mapping logic so that text regions are never mapped writable, which would require adding explicit TLB maintenance to new call sites of create_mapping_late() (which is currently invoked twice from the same function), move the TLB maintenance from the call site into create_mapping_late() itself, and change it from a full TLB flush into a flush by VA, which is more appropriate here.

We only need to initialise sctlr_el1 if we're installing an EL2 stub, so we may as well defer this until we're doing so. Similarly, we can defer intialising CPTR_EL2 until then, as we do not access any trapped functionality as part of el2_setup. This patch modified el2_setup accordingly, allowing us to remove a branch and simplify the code flow.

The early el2_setup code is a little convoluted, with two branches where one would do. This makes the code more painful to read than is necessary. We can remove a branch and simplify the logic by moving the early return in the booted-at-EL1 case earlier in the function. This separates it from all the setup logic that only makes sense for EL2.

Add support for allocating physically contiguous DMA buffers on arm64 systems with an IOMMU. This can be useful when two or more devices with different memory requirements are involved in buffer sharing. Note that as this uses the CMA allocator, setting the DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS attribute has a runtime-dependency on CONFIG_DMA_CMA, just like on arm32. For arm64 systems using swiotlb, no changes are needed to support the allocation of physically contiguous DMA buffers: - swiotlb always uses physically contiguous buffers (up to IO_TLB_SEGSIZE = 128 pages), - arm64's __dma_alloc_coherent() already calls dma_alloc_from_contiguous() when CMA is available.

A VPIPT I-cache has two main properties: 1. Lines allocated into the cache are tagged by VMID and a lookup can only hit lines that were allocated with the current VMID. 2. I-cache invalidation from EL1/0 only invalidates lines that match the current VMID of the CPU doing the invalidation. This can cause issues with non-VHE configurations, where the host runs at EL1 and wants to invalidate I-cache entries for a guest running with a different VMID. VHE is not affected, because the host runs at EL2 and I-cache invalidation applies as expected. This patch solves the problem by invalidating the I-cache when unmapping a page at stage 2 on a system with a VPIPT I-cache but not running with VHE enabled. Hopefully this is an obscure enough configuration that the overhead isn't anything to worry about, although it does mean that the by-range I-cache invalidation currently performed when mapping at stage 2 can be elided on such systems, because the I-cache will be clean for the guest VMID following a rollover event.

The CCSIDR_EL1.{NumSets,Associativity,LineSize} fields are only for use in conjunction with set/way cache maintenance and are not guaranteed to represent the actual microarchitectural features of a design. The architecture explicitly states: | You cannot make any inference about the actual sizes of caches based | on these parameters. Furthermore, CCSIDR_EL1.{WT,WB,RA,WA} have been removed retrospectively from ARMv8 and are now considered to be UNKNOWN. Since the kernel doesn't make use of set/way cache maintenance and it is not possible for userspace to execute these instructions, we have no need for the CCSIDR information in the kernel. This patch removes the accessors, along with the related portions of the cacheinfo support, which should instead be reintroduced when firmware has a mechanism to provide us with reliable information.

This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a reason for the check. The code correctly checks whether the swap slot cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not actually problematic afaik. I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there. I suspect the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about it but not bring the machine down.
