Erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core clock cycles every time the timer value changes". Accesses to TVAL (both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter read. Accesses to CVAL are not affected. The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads return the same value. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an equivalent write to CVAL. The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads return the same value, and when writing TVAL to retry until counter reads before and after the write return the same value. The workaround is enabled if the fsl,erratum-a008585 property is found in the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the clocksource.arm_arch_timer.fsl-a008585 boot parameter, which allows KVM users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to automatically communicate this information. This erratum can be found on LS1043A and LS2080A.

virt_addr_valid is supposed to return true if and only if virt_to_page returns a valid page structure. The current macro does math on whatever address is given and passes that to pfn_valid to verify. vmalloc and module addresses can happen to generate a pfn that 'happens' to be valid. Fix this by only performing the pfn_valid check on addresses that have the potential to be valid.

These files were only including module.h for exception table related functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile these files.

There are an increasing number of ARM SoC PMU drivers appearing for things like interconnects, memory controllers and cache controllers. Rather than have these handled on an ad-hoc basis, where SoC maintainers each send their PMU drivers directly to arm-soc, let's take these into drivers/perf/ and send a single pull request to arm-soc instead, much like other subsystems. This patch amends the ARM PMU MAINTAINERS entry to include all of drivers/perf/ (currently just the ARM CPU PMU), changes Mark Rutland from Reviewer to Maintainer, so that he can help with the new tree and adds the device-tree binding to the list of maintained files.

Kprobes searches backwards a finite number of instructions to determine if there is an attempt to probe a load/store exclusive sequence. It stops when it hits the maximum number of instructions or a load or store exclusive. However this means it can run up past the beginning of the function and start looking at literal constants. This has been shown to cause a false positive and blocks insertion of the probe. To fix this, further limit the backwards search to stop if it hits a symbol address from kallsyms. The presumption is that this is the entry point to this code (particularly for the common case of placing probes at the beginning of functions). This also improves efficiency by not searching code that is not part of the function. There may be some possibility that the label might not denote the entry path to the probed instruction but the likelihood seems low and this is just another example of how the kprobes user really needs to be careful about what they are doing.

In some cases, one side of an alternative sequence is simply a number of NOPs used to balance the other side. Keeping track of this manually is tedious, and the presence of large chains of NOPs makes the code more painful to read than necessary. To ameliorate matters, this patch adds a new alternative_else_nop_endif, which automatically balances an alternative sequence with a trivial NOP sled. In many cases, we would like a NOP-sled in the default case, and instructions patched in in the presence of a feature. To enable the NOPs to be generated automatically for this case, this patch also adds a new alternative_if, and updates alternative_else and alternative_endif to work with either alternative_if or alternative_endif.

The LSE atomics are implemented using alternative code sequences of different lengths, and explicit NOP padding is used to ensure the patching works correctly. This patch converts the bulk of the LSE code over to using the __nops macro, which makes it slightly clearer as to what is going on and also consolidates all of the padding at the end of the various sequences.

Systems with differing CPU i-cache/d-cache line sizes can cause problems with the cache management by software when the execution is migrated from one to another. Usually, the application reads the cache size on a CPU and then uses that length to perform cache operations. However, if it gets migrated to another CPU with a smaller cache line size, things could go completely wrong. To prevent such cases, always use the smallest cache line size among the CPUs. The kernel CPU feature infrastructure already keeps track of the safe value for all CPUID registers including CTR. This patch works around the problem by : For kernel, dynamically patch the kernel to read the cache size from the system wide copy of CTR_EL0. For applications, trap read accesses to CTR_EL0 (by clearing the SCTLR.UCT) and emulate the mrs instruction to return the system wide safe value of CTR_EL0. For faster access (i.e, avoiding to lookup the system wide value of CTR_EL0 via read_system_reg), we keep track of the pointer to table entry for CTR_EL0 in the CPU feature infrastructure.

Right now we trap some of the user space data cache operations based on a few Errata (ARM 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069). We need to trap userspace access to CTR_EL0, if we detect mismatched cache line size. Since both these traps share the EC, refactor the handler a little bit to make it a bit more reader friendly.

On systems with mismatched i/d cache min line sizes, we need to use the smallest size possible across all CPUs. This will be done by fetching the system wide safe value from CPU feature infrastructure. However the some special users(e.g kexec, hibernate) would need the line size on the CPU (rather than the system wide), when either the system wide feature may not be accessible or it is guranteed that the caller executes with a gurantee of no migration. Provide another helper which will fetch cache line size on the current CPU.

Right now we run through the work around checks on a CPU from __cpuinfo_store_cpu. There are some problems with that: 1) We initialise the system wide CPU feature registers only after the Boot CPU updates its cpuinfo. Now, if a work around depends on the variance of a CPU ID feature (e.g, check for Cache Line size mismatch), we have no way of performing it cleanly for the boot CPU. 2) It is out of place, invoked from __cpuinfo_store_cpu() in cpuinfo.c. It is not an obvious place for that. This patch rearranges the CPU specific capability(aka work around) checks. 1) At the moment we use verify_local_cpu_capabilities() to check if a new CPU has all the system advertised features. Use this for the secondary CPUs to perform the work around check. For that we rename verify_local_cpu_capabilities() => check_local_cpu_capabilities() which: If the system wide capabilities haven't been initialised (i.e, the CPU is activated at the boot), update the system wide detected work arounds. Otherwise (i.e a CPU hotplugged in later) verify that this CPU conforms to the system wide capabilities. 2) Boot CPU updates the work arounds from smp_prepare_boot_cpu() after we have initialised the system wide CPU feature values.

This is a cosmetic change to rename the functions dealing with the errata work arounds to be more consistent with their naming. 1) check_local_cpu_errata() => update_cpu_errata_workarounds() check_local_cpu_errata() actually updates the system's errata work arounds. So rename it to reflect the same. 2) verify_local_cpu_errata() => verify_local_cpu_errata_workarounds() Use errata_workarounds instead of _errata.

In systems with heterogeneous CPUs, there are multiple logical CPU PMUs, each of which covers a subset of CPUs in the system. In some cases userspace needs to know which CPUs a given logical PMU covers, so we'd like to expose a cpumask under sysfs, similar to what is done for uncore PMUs. Unfortunately, prior to commit 00e727bb ("perf stat: Balance opening and reading events"), perf stat only correctly handled a cpumask holding a single CPU, and only when profiling in system-wide mode. In other cases, the presence of a cpumask file could cause perf stat to behave erratically. Thus, exposing a cpumask file would break older perf binaries in cases where they would otherwise work. To avoid this issue while still providing userspace with the information it needs, this patch exposes a differently-named file (cpus) under sysfs. New tools can look for this and operate correctly, while older tools will not be adversely affected by its presence.
