Instead of using absolute addresses for both the exception location and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values. Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting of the exception table that occurs at build time. This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as shorthands to emit exception table entries.

'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in the normal way. This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr* instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory. This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the page tables, instead of testing addr<USER_DS, then using the kernel's read/write permissions.

Currently we treat the alternatives separately from other data that's only used during initialisation, using separate .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement linker sections. These are freed for general allocation separately from .init*. This is problematic as: * We do not remove execute permissions, as we do for .init, leaving the memory executable. * We pad between them, making the kernel Image bianry up to PAGE_SIZE bytes larger than necessary. This patch moves the two sections into the contiguous region used for .init*. This saves some memory, ensures that we remove execute permissions, and allows us to remove some code made redundant by this reorganisation.

When patching the kernel text with alternatives, we may end up patching parts of the stop_machine state machine (e.g. atomic_dec_and_test in ack_state) and consequently corrupt the instruction stream of any secondary CPUs. This patch passes the cpu_online_mask to stop_machine, forcing all of the CPUs into our own callback which can place the secondary cores into a dumb (but safe!) polling loop whilst the patching is carried out.

There are cases where we want to compile out both versions of an alternative code block, so add an enable parameter to the new conditional alternative assembly macros in the same way as alternative_insn. Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Some uses of ALTERNATIVE() may depend on a feature that is disabled at compile time by a Kconfig option. In this case the unused alternative instructions waste space, and if the original instruction is a nop, it wastes time and space. This patch adds an optional 'config' option to ALTERNATIVE() and alternative_insn that allows the compiler to remove both the original and alternative instructions if the config option is not defined.

The existing alternative_insn macro has some limitations that make it hard to work with. In particular the fact it takes instructions from it own macro arguments means it doesn't play very nicely with C pre-processor macros because the macro arguments look like a string to the C pre-processor. Workarounds are (probably) possible but things start to look ugly. Introduce an alternative set of macros that allows instructions to be presented to the assembler as normal and switch everything over to the new macros.

AArch64 toolchains suffer from the following bug: $ cat blah.S 1: .inst 0x01020304 .if ((. - 1b) != 4) .error "blah" .endif $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -c blah.S blah.S: Assembler messages: blah.S:3: Error: non-constant expression in ".if" statement which precludes the use of msr_s and co as part of alternatives. We workaround this issue by not directly testing the labels themselves, but by moving the current output pointer by a value that should always be zero. If this value is not null, then we will trigger a backward move, which is expclicitely forbidden. This triggers the error we're after: AS arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.o arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.S: Assembler messages: arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.S:1377: Error: attempt to move .org backwards scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target 'arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.o' failed make[1]: *** [arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.o] Error 1 Makefile:946: recipe for target 'arch/arm64/kvm' failed Not pretty, but at least works on the current toolchains.

asm/alternative-asm.h and asm/alternative.h are extremely similar, and really deserve to live in the same file (as this makes further modufications a bit easier). Fold the content of alternative-asm.h into alternative.h, and update the few users.

Currently the kernel patches all necessary instructions once at boot time, so modules are not covered by this. Change the apply_alternatives() function to take a beginning and an end pointer and introduce a new variant (apply_alternatives_all()) to cover the existing use case for the static kernel image section. Add a module_finalize() function to arm64 to check for an alternatives section in a module and patch only the instructions from that specific area. Since that module code is not touched before the module initialization has ended, we don't need to halt the machine before doing the patching in the module's code.

With a blatant copy of some x86 bits we introduce the alternative runtime patching "framework" to arm64. This is quite basic for now and we only provide the functions we need at this time. This is connected to the newly introduced feature bits. Signed-off-by: NAndre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
