This patch adds support for uprobe on ARM64 architecture. Unit tests for following have been done so far and they have been found working 1. Step-able instructions, like sub, ldr, add etc. 2. Simulation-able like ret, cbnz, cbz etc. 3. uretprobe 4. Reject-able instructions like sev, wfe etc. 5. trapped and abort xol path 6. probe at unaligned user address. 7. longjump test cases Currently it does not support aarch32 instruction probing.

There is only fixup_init() in mm.h , and it is only called in free_initmem(), so move the codes from fixup_init() into free_initmem(), then drop fixup_init() and mm.h.

__sync_icache_dcache unconditionally skips the cache maintenance for anonymous pages, under the assumption that flushing is only required in the presence of D-side aliases [see 7249b79f ("arm64: Do not flush the D-cache for anonymous pages")]. Unfortunately, this breaks migration of anonymous pages holding self-modifying code, where userspace cannot be reasonably expected to reissue maintenance instructions in response to a migration. This patch fixes the problem by removing the broken page_mapping(page) check from the cache syncing code, otherwise we may end up fetching and executing stale instructions from the PoU.

Currently we disable preemption in copy_to_user_page; a behaviour that we inherited from the 32-bit arm code. This was necessary for older cores without broadcast data cache maintenance, and ensured that cache lines were dirtied and cleaned by the same CPU. On these systems dirty cache line migration was not possible, so this was sufficient to guarantee coherency. On contemporary systems, cache coherence protocols permit (dirty) cache lines to migrate between CPUs as a result of speculation, prefetching, and other behaviours. To account for this, in ARMv8 data cache maintenance operations are broadcast and affect all data caches in the domain associated with the VA (i.e. ISH for kernel and user mappings). In __switch_to we ensure that tasks can be safely migrated in the middle of a maintenance sequence, using a dsb(ish) to ensure prior explicit memory accesses are observed and cache maintenance operations are completed before a task can be run on another CPU. Given the above, it is not necessary to disable preemption in copy_to_user_page. This patch removes the preempt_{disable,enable} calls, permitting preemption.

With new refcounting we don't need to mark PMDs splitting. Let's drop code to handle this. pmdp_splitting_flush() is not needed too: on splitting PMD we will do pmdp_clear_flush() + set_pte_at(). pmdp_clear_flush() will do IPI as needed for fast_gup.

In systems with three levels of cache(PoU at L1 and PoC at L3), PoC cache flush instructions flushes L2 and L3 caches which could affect performance. For cache flushes for I and D coherency, PoU should suffice. So changing all I and D coherency related cache flushes to PoU. Introduced a new __clean_dcache_area_pou API for dcache flush till PoU and provided a common macro for __flush_dcache_area and __clean_dcache_area_pou. Also, now in __sync_icache_dcache, icache invalidation for non-aliasing VIPT icache is done only for that particular page instead of the earlier __flush_icache_all.

Nobody seems to be producing !SMP systems anymore, so this is just becoming a source of kernel bugs, particularly if people want to use coherent DMA with non-shared pages. This patch forces CONFIG_SMP=y for arm64, removing a modest amount of code in the process. Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

The documented semantics of flush_cache_all are not possible to provide for arm64 (short of flushing the entire physical address space by VA), and there are currently no users; KVM uses VA maintenance exclusively, cpu_reset is never called, and the only two users outside of arch code cannot be built for arm64. While cpu_soft_reset and related functions (which call flush_cache_all) were thought to be useful for kexec, their current implementations only serve to mask bugs. For correctness kexec will need to perform maintenance by VA anyway to account for system caches, line migration, and other subtleties of the cache architecture. As the extent of this cache maintenance will be kexec-specific, it should probably live in the kexec code. This patch removes flush_cache_all, and related unused components, preventing further abuse.

Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM64. We also need to force THP splits to broadcast an IPI s.t. we block in the fast_gup page walker. As THP splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable performance degradation. Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.

The __sync_icache_dcache routine will only flush the dcache for the first page of a compound page, potentially leading to stale icache data residing further on in a hugetlb page.

The flush_dcache_page() function is called when the kernel modified a page cache page. Since the D-cache on AArch64 does not have aliases this function can simply mark the page as dirty for later flushing via set_pte_at()/__sync_icache_dcache() if the page is executable (to ensure the I-D cache coherency).
