The push/pop instructions can be suboptimal when saving/restoring large amounts of data to/from the stack, for example on entry/exit from the kernel. This is because: (1) They act on descending addresses (i.e. the newly decremented sp), which may defeat some hardware prefetchers (2) They introduce an implicit dependency between each instruction, as the sp has to be updated in order to resolve the address of the next access. This patch removes the push/pop instructions from our kernel entry/exit macros in favour of ldp/stp plus offset. Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Using an explicit adr instruction to set the link register to point at ret_fast_syscall/ret_to_user can defeat branch and return stack predictors. Instead, use the standard calling instructions (bl, blr) and have an unconditional branch as the following instruction. Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

When returning from a debug exception taken from EL1, we unmask debug exceptions after handling the exception. This is crucial for debug exceptions taken from EL0, so that any kernel work on the ret_to_user path can be debugged by kgdb. However, when returning back to EL1 the only thing left to do is to restore the original register state before the exception return. If single-step has been enabled by the debug exception handler, we will get stuck in an infinite debug exception loop, since we will take the step exception as soon as we unmask debug exceptions. This patch avoids unmasking debug exceptions on the debug exception return path when the exception was taken from EL1.

This patch adds __NR_* definitions to asm/unistd32.h, moves the __NR_compat_* definitions to asm/unistd.h and removes all the explicit unistd32.h includes apart from the one building the compat syscall table. The aim is to have the compat __NR_* definitions available but without colliding with the native syscall definitions (required by lib/compat_audit.c to avoid duplicating the audit header files between native and compat).

Make calls to ct_user_enter when the kernel is exited and ct_user_exit when the kernel is entered (in el0_da, el0_ia, el0_svc, el0_irq and all of the "error" paths). These macros expand to function calls which will only work properly if el0_sync and related code has been rearranged (in a previous patch of this series). The calls to ct_user_exit are made after hw debugging has been enabled (enable_dbg_and_irq). The call to ct_user_enter is made at the beginning of the kernel_exit macro. This patch is based on earlier work by Kevin Hilman. Save/restore optimizations were also done by Kevin.

To implement the context tracker properly on arm64, a function call needs to be made after debugging and interrupts are turned on, but before the lr is changed to point to ret_to_user(). If the function call is made after the lr is changed the function will not return to the correct place. For similar reasons, defer the setting of x0 so that it doesn't need to be saved around the function call (save far_el1 in x26 temporarily instead).

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).

If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time. This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment, i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the same CPU. This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD register file saves and restores: - fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded - fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state Signed-off-by: NArd Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

Commit f27dde8d (sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count) introduced the use of bit 31 in preempt_count for obscure scheduling purposes. This causes interrupts taken from EL0 to hit the (open coded) BUG when this flag is flipped while handling the interrupt (we compare the values before and after, and kill the kernel if they are different). The fix is to stop messing with the preempt count entirely, as this is already being dealt with in the generic code (irq_enter/irq_exit). Tested on a dual A53 FPGA running cyclictest.

preempt_count is defined as an int. Oddly enough, we access it as a 64bit value. Things become interesting when running a BE kernel, and looking at the current CPU number, which is stored as an int next to preempt_count. Like in a per-cpu interrupt handler, for example... Using a 32bit access fixes the issue for good. Cc: Matthew Leach <matthew.leach@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

TCR.TBI0 can be used to cause hardware address translation to ignore the top byte of userspace virtual addresses. Whilst not especially useful in standard C programs, this can be used by JITs to `tag' pointers with various pieces of metadata.

Currently, if a compat process reads or writes from/to a disabled cp15/cp14 register, the trap is not handled by the el0_sync_compat handler, and the kernel will head to bad_mode, where it will die(), and oops(). For 64 bit processes, disabled system register accesses are currently treated as unhandled instructions. This patch modifies entry.S to treat these unhandled traps as undefined instructions, sending a SIGILL to userspace. This gives processes a chance to handle this and stop using inaccessible registers, and prevents further issues in the kernel as a result of the die().
