Apart from the arm64/linux and EFI header data structures, there is nothing in the .head.text section that must reside at the beginning of the Image. So let's move it to the .init section where it belongs. Note that this involves some minor tweaking of the EFI header, primarily because the address of 'stext' no longer coincides with the start of the .text section. It also requires a couple of relocated symbol references to be slightly rewritten or their definition moved to the linker script.

Unfortunately, the current way of using the linker to emit build time constants into the Image header will no longer work once we switch to the use of PIE executables. The reason is that such constants are emitted into the binary using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations, which are resolved at runtime, not at build time, and the places targeted by those relocations will contain zeroes before that. So refactor the endian swapping linker script constant generation code so that it emits the upper and lower 32-bit words separately.

This relaxes the kernel Image placement requirements, so that it may be placed at any 2 MB aligned offset in physical memory. This is accomplished by ignoring PHYS_OFFSET when installing memblocks, and accounting for the apparent virtual offset of the kernel Image. As a result, virtual address references below PAGE_OFFSET are correctly mapped onto physical references into the kernel Image regardless of where it sits in memory. Special care needs to be taken for dealing with memory limits passed via mem=, since the generic implementation clips memory top down, which may clip the kernel image itself if it is loaded high up in memory. To deal with this case, we simply add back the memory covering the kernel image, which may result in more memory to be retained than was passed as a mem= parameter. Since mem= should not be considered a production feature, a panic notifier handler is installed that dumps the memory limit at panic time if one was set.

Changes introduced in the upstream version of libfdt pulled in by commit 91feabc2 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream commit b06e55c88b9b") use the strnlen() function, which isn't currently available to the EFI name- space. Add it to the EFI namespace to avoid a linker error.

Commit e8f3010f ("arm64/efi: isolate EFI stub from the kernel proper") isolated the EFI stub code from the kernel proper by prefixing all of its symbols with __efistub_, and selectively allowing access to core kernel symbols from the stub by emitting __efistub_ aliases for functions and variables that the stub can access legally. As an unintended side effect, these aliases are emitted into the kallsyms symbol table, which means they may turn up in backtraces, e.g., ... PC is at __efistub_memset+0x108/0x200 LR is at fixup_init+0x3c/0x48 ... [<ffffff8008328608>] __efistub_memset+0x108/0x200 [<ffffff8008094dcc>] free_initmem+0x2c/0x40 [<ffffff8008645198>] kernel_init+0x20/0xe0 [<ffffff8008085cd0>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40 The backtrace in question has nothing to do with the EFI stub, but simply returns one of the several aliases of memset() that have been recorded in the kallsyms table. This is undesirable, since it may suggest to people who are not aware of this that the issue they are seeing is somehow EFI related. So hide the __efistub_ aliases from kallsyms, by emitting them as absolute linker symbols explicitly. The distinction between those and section relative symbols is completely irrelevant to these definitions, and to the final link we are performing when these definitions are being taken into account (the distinction is only relevant to symbols defined inside a section definition when performing a partial link), and so the resulting values are identical to the original ones. Since absolute symbols are ignored by kallsyms, this will result in these values to be omitted from its symbol table. After this patch, the backtrace generated from the same address looks like this: ... PC is at __memset+0x108/0x200 LR is at fixup_init+0x3c/0x48 ... [<ffffff8008328608>] __memset+0x108/0x200 [<ffffff8008094dcc>] free_initmem+0x2c/0x40 [<ffffff8008645198>] kernel_init+0x20/0xe0 [<ffffff8008085cd0>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40 Signed-off-by: NArd Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

This patch adds the page size to the arm64 kernel image header so that one can infer the PAGESIZE used by the kernel.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer (see Documentation/kasan.txt). 1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. There was no big enough hole for this, so virtual addresses for shadow were stolen from vmalloc area. At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just one physical page (kasan_zero_page). Later, this page reused as readonly zero shadow for some memory that KASan currently don't track (vmalloc). After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are allocated and mapped. Functions like memset/memmove/memcpy do a lot of memory accesses. If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important to catch this. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since these functions are written in assembly. KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants. Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases with '__' prefix in name, so we could call non-instrumented variant if needed. Some files built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c). Original mem* function replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants to disable memory access checks for such files.

Since arm64 does not use a builtin decompressor, the EFI stub is built into the kernel proper. So far, this has been working fine, but actually, since the stub is in fact a PE/COFF relocatable binary that is executed at an unknown offset in the 1:1 mapping provided by the UEFI firmware, we should not be seamlessly sharing code with the kernel proper, which is a position dependent executable linked at a high virtual offset. So instead, separate the contents of libstub and its dependencies, by putting them into their own namespace by prefixing all of its symbols with __efistub. This way, we have tight control over what parts of the kernel proper are referenced by the stub.

Currently the kernel Image is stripped of everything past the initial stack, and at runtime the memory is initialised and used by the kernel. This makes the effective minimum memory footprint of the kernel larger than the size of the loaded binary, though bootloaders have no mechanism to identify how large this minimum memory footprint is. This makes it difficult to choose safe locations to place both the kernel and other binaries required at boot (DTB, initrd, etc), such that the kernel won't clobber said binaries or other reserved memory during initialisation. Additionally when big endian support was added the image load offset was overlooked, and is currently of an arbitrary endianness, which makes it difficult for bootloaders to make use of it. It seems that bootloaders aren't respecting the image load offset at present anyway, and are assuming that offset 0x80000 will always be correct. This patch adds an effective image size to the kernel header which describes the amount of memory from the start of the kernel Image binary which the kernel expects to use before detecting memory and handling any memory reservations. This can be used by bootloaders to choose suitable locations to load the kernel and/or other binaries such that the kernel will not clobber any memory unexpectedly. As before, memory reservations are required to prevent the kernel from clobbering these locations later. Both the image load offset and the effective image size are forced to be little-endian regardless of the native endianness of the kernel to enable bootloaders to load a kernel of arbitrary endianness. Bootloaders which wish to make use of the load offset can inspect the effective image size field for a non-zero value to determine if the offset is of a known endianness. To enable software to determine the endinanness of the kernel as may be required for certain use-cases, a new flags field (also little-endian) is added to the kernel header to export this information. The documentation is updated to clarify these details. To discourage future assumptions regarding the value of text_offset, the value at this point in time is removed from the main flow of the documentation (though kept as a compatibility note). Some minor formatting issues in the documentation are also corrected.
