It seems that Cortex-A53 r0p4 added support for AIFSR and ADFSR, and ID_MMFR0.AuxReg has been updated accordingly to report this fact. As Cortex-A53 could be paired with CPUs which do not implement these registers (e.g. all current revisions of Cortex-A57), this may trigger a sanity check failure at boot. The AuxReg value describes the availability of the ACTLR, AIFSR, and ADFSR registers, which are only of use to 32-bit guest OSs, and have IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED contents. Given the nature of these registers it is likely that KVM will need to trap accesses regardless of whether the CPUs are heterogeneous. This patch masks out the ID_MMFR0.AuxReg value from the sanity checks, preventing spurious warnings at boot time.

The only requirement the scheduler has on cluster IDs is that they must be unique. When enumerating the topology based on MPIDR information the kernel currently generates cluster IDs by using the first level of affinity above the core ID (either level one or two depending on if the core has multiple threads) however the ARMv8 architecture allows for up to three levels of affinity. This means that an ARMv8 system may contain cores which have MPIDRs identical other than affinity level three which with current code will cause us to report multiple cores with the same identification to the scheduler in violation of its uniqueness requirement. Ensure that we do not violate the scheduler requirements on systems that uses all the affinity levels by incorporating both affinity levels two and three into the cluser ID when the cores are not threaded. While no currently known hardware uses multi-level clusters it is better to program defensively, this will help ease bringup of systems that have them and will ensure that things like distribution install media do not need to be respun to replace kernels in order to deploy such systems. In the worst case the system will work but perform suboptimally until a kernel modified to handle the new topology better is installed, in the best case this will be an adequate description of such topologies for the scheduler to perform well.

Not all of the errata we have workarounds for apply necessarily to all SoCs, so people compiling a kernel for one very specific SoC may not need to patch the kernel. Introduce a new submenu in the "Platform selection" menu to allow people to turn off certain bugs if they are not affected. By default all of them are enabled. Normal users or distribution kernels shouldn't bother to deselect any bugs here, since the alternatives framework will take care of patching them in only if needed.

After each CPU has been started, we iterate through a list of CPU features or bugs to detect CPUs which need (or could benefit from) kernel code patches. For each feature/bug there is a function which checks if that particular CPU is affected. We will later provide some more generic functions for common things like testing for certain MIDR ranges. We do this for every CPU to cover big.LITTLE systems properly as well.

Translation faults that occur due to the input address being outside of the address range mapped by the relevant base register are reported as level 0 faults in ESR.DFSC. If the faulting access cannot be resolved by the kernel (e.g. because it is not mapped by a vma), then we report "input address range fault" on the console. This was fine until we added support for 48-bit VAs, which actually place PGDs at level 0 and can trigger faults for invalid addresses that are within the range of the page tables. This patch changes the string to report "level 0 translation fault", which is far less confusing. Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Typically, providing support for legacy instructions requires emulating the behaviour of instructions whose encodings have become undefined. If the instructions haven't been removed from the architecture, there maybe an option in the implementation to turn on/off the support for these instructions. Create common infrastructure to support legacy instruction emulation. In addition to emulation, also provide an option to support hardware execution when supported. The default execution mode (one of undef, emulate, hw exeuction) is dependent on the state of the instruction (deprecated or obsolete) in the architecture and can specified at the time of registering the instruction handlers. The runtime state of the emulation can be controlled by writing to individual nodes in sysctl. The expected default behaviour is documented as part of this patch.

The generic this_cpu operations disable interrupts to ensure that the requested operation is protected from pre-emption. For arm64, this is overkill and can hurt throughput and latency. This patch provides arm64 specific implementations for the this_cpu operations. Rather than disable interrupts, we use the exclusive monitor or atomic operations as appropriate. The following operations are implemented: add, add_return, and, or, read, write, xchg. We also wire up a cmpxchg implementation from cmpxchg.h.

We currently allocate different levels of page tables with a variety of differing flags, and the PGALLOC_GFP flags, intended for use when allocating any level of page table, are only used for ptes in pte_alloc_one. On x86, PGALLOC_GFP is used for all page table allocations. Currently the major differences are: * __GFP_NOTRACK -- Needed to ensure page tables are always accessible in the presence of kmemcheck to prevent recursive faults. Currently kmemcheck cannot be selected for arm64. * __GFP_REPEAT -- Causes the allocator to try to reclaim pages and retry upon a failure to allocate. * __GFP_ZERO -- Sometimes passed explicitly, sometimes zalloc variants are used. While we've no encountered issues so far, it would be preferable to be consistent. This patch ensures all levels of table are allocated in the same manner, with PGALLOC_GFP.

Since commit 8a0a9bd4 ('random: make get_random_int() more random'), get_random_int() returns a random value for each call, so comment and hack introduced in mmap_rnd() as part of commit 1d18c47c ('arm64: MMU fault handling and page table management') are incorrects. Commit 1d18c47c seems to use the same hack introduced by commit a5adc91a ('powerpc: Ensure random space between stack and mmaps'), latter copied in commit 5a0efea0 ('sparc64: Sharpen address space randomization calculations.'). But both architectures were cleaned up as part of commit fa8cbaaf ('powerpc+sparc64/mm: Remove hack in mmap randomize layout') as hack is no more needed since commit 8a0a9bd4.

On architectures with hardware broadcasting of TLB invalidation messages , it makes sense to reduce the range of the mmu_gather structure when unmapping page ranges based on the dirty address information passed to tlb_remove_tlb_entry. arm64 already does this by directly manipulating the start/end fields of the gather structure, but this confuses the generic code which does not expect these fields to change and can end up calculating invalid, negative ranges when forcing a flush in zap_pte_range. This patch moves the minimal range calculation out of the arm64 code and into the generic implementation, simplifying zap_pte_range in the process (which no longer needs to care about start/end, since they will point to the appropriate ranges already). With the range being tracked by core code, the need_flush flag is dropped in favour of checking that the end of the range has actually been set.

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>

Commit d7a49086 (arm64: cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs) attempted to clean up /proc/cpuinfo, but due to concerns regarding further changes was reverted in commit 5e39977e (Revert "arm64: cpuinfo: print info for all CPUs"). There are two major issues with the arm64 /proc/cpuinfo format currently: * The "Features" line describes (only) the 64-bit hwcaps, which is problematic for some 32-bit applications which attempt to parse it. As the same names are used for analogous ISA features (e.g. aes) despite these generally being architecturally unrelated, it is not possible to simply append the 64-bit and 32-bit hwcaps in a manner that might not be misleading to some applications. Various potential solutions have appeared in vendor kernels. Typically the format of the Features line varies depending on whether the task is 32-bit. * Information is only printed regarding a single CPU. This does not match the ARM format, and does not provide sufficient information in big.LITTLE systems where CPUs are heterogeneous. The CPU information printed is queried from the current CPU's registers, which is racy w.r.t. cross-cpu migration. This patch attempts to solve these issues. The following changes are made: * When a task with a LINUX32 personality attempts to read /proc/cpuinfo, the "Features" line contains the decoded 32-bit hwcaps, as with the arm port. Otherwise, the decoded 64-bit hwcaps are shown. This aligns with the behaviour of COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE and COMPAT_ELF_PLATFORM. In the absense of compat support, the Features line is empty. The set of hwcaps injected into a task's auxval are unaffected. * Properties are printed per-cpu, as with the ARM port. The per-cpu information is queried from pre-recorded cpu information (as used by the sanity checks). * As with the previous attempt at fixing up /proc/cpuinfo, the hardware field is removed. The only users so far are 32-bit applications tied to particular boards, so no portable applications should be affected, and this should prevent future tying to particular boards. The following differences remain: * No model_name is printed, as this cannot be queried from the hardware and cannot be provided in a stable fashion. Use of the CPU {implementor,variant,part,revision} fields is sufficient to identify a CPU and is portable across arm and arm64. * The following system-wide properties are not provided, as they are not possible to provide generally. Programs relying on these are already tied to particular (32-bit only) boards: - Hardware - Revision - Serial No software has yet been identified for which these remaining differences are problematic.

The DMTF SMBIOS reference spec v3.0.0 defines a new 64-bit entry point, which enables support for SMBIOS structure tables residing at a physical offset over 4 GB. This is especially important for upcoming arm64 platforms whose system RAM resides entirely above the 4 GB boundary. For the UEFI case, this code attempts to detect the new SMBIOS 3.0 header magic at the offset passed in the SMBIOS3_TABLE_GUID UEFI configuration table. If this configuration table is not provided, or if we fail to parse the header, we fall back to using the legacy SMBIOS_TABLE_GUID configuration table. This is in line with the spec, that allows both configuration tables to be provided, but mandates that they must point to the same structure table, unless the version pointed to by the 64-bit entry point is a superset of the 32-bit one. For the non-UEFI case, the detection logic is modified to look for the SMBIOS 3.0 header magic before it looks for the legacy header magic. Note that this patch is based on version 3.0.0d [draft] of the specification, which is expected not to deviate from the final version in ways that would affect the correctness of this implementation.

This adds support to the UEFI side for detecting the presence of a SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point. This allows the actual SMBIOS structure table to reside at a physical offset over 4 GB, which cannot be supported by the legacy SMBIOS 32-bit entry point. Since the firmware can legally provide both entry points, store the SMBIOS 3.0 entry point in a separate variable, and let the DMI decoding layer decide which one will be used.
